The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 376

Elena did, in fact, like Sloane's home. It wasn't quite as big as the Ferraro estate but it was much bigger than her childhood home. It looked like a beach house out of a some teen movie with its light blue body and golden rooftop and window trims.

The inside was just as spacious as Elena expected it to be. She liked the open floor plan. The living room, dining room, and kitchen were marked more by the odd column and furniture piece than any big wall.

It was a nice change of pace from the Ferraro estate with its endless rooms. But Elena tried not to think too much about that. After all, Sloane's husband was getting up from his seat on the couch and putting away his laptop.

"Elena," Noah greeted her. His smile was as wide as Sloane's. "Lovely to see you again!"

He opened his arms for a hug but didn't move closer—letting Elena decide whether to hug him or not. He glanced awkwardly at Sloane, as if trying to gauge her approval.

Elena held back a laugh as she hugged her step-father. "Lovely to see you, too," she said as they separated. "Thanks again for letting me stay."

"Nonsense," Noah said quickly. "That's not worth thanking me for. We've got plenty of space around here."

"Still," Elena insisted. "It was pretty short notice."

Noah waved a hand dismissively as he smiled again. "Don't worry about that. The point is that Sloane and I are both pleased as punch to have you here."

Elena could tell from how Sloane's eyes sparkled that both adults were telling the truth. Noah loved Sloane more than anything in the world, and Sloane wanted Elena here—so Elena was welcome to stay here as long as she wanted.

"Thank you," Elena said bashfully. "I'll try not to be too much of a burden—"
