Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1498

Ethan Hayes stammered, "Ah... well..."

He had let his guard down earlier, and it had accidentally slipped out. He really hadn't meant to!

But the way Brandon Mercer had been talking... it was so infuriating it was almost laughable. That was why Ethan had blurted it out.

Lillian stared at him. "Stop stammering. It's not your usual style."

Ethan let out a heavy sigh. He had already let it slip. The damage was done.

He might as well come clean. "I really didn't want to say anything. It's just that Brandon is so damn aggravating.

How does he manage to be that infuriating?

Ms. Mercer, seriously, no one in the Mercer family is any good."

Lillian cut him off. "Don't change the subject. Focus. What is the situation with the house?"

Ethan realized there was no dodging this.

"The situation is exactly what it sounds like. The Boss transferred the deed for Halfridge Villas into your name.

Ms. Mercer, don't you love the villa?

It's perfect for you to live in with your mother, and your grandmother too, right?

I guarantee you won't find a single property in Northwyn that you'd love more than Halfridge Villas.

The Boss knows you love it. He's dying to place everything you love in this world right at your feet.

What's one villa? Putting it in your name so you can live comfortably—isn't that wonderful?"

Lillian frowned. "Why would he randomly transfer a house to me out of nowhere?

We were living there perfectly fine.

There was no need for this kind of change."

Ethan waved a hand dismissively. "Oh, please, what's so weird about it? The Boss has countless properties all over the world. He could transfer a house to you every single day for a year, take zero days off, and still not run out.

Though, I suspect this might be his newest hobby.

When you have time, you should probably do a background check and see exactly how many houses the Boss has secretly gifted you."

The Mercer family had a strange quirk: they rarely purchased real estate.

Naturally, Lillian was the same.
