Iker didn't say anything, his lips moved and he uttered a casual sentence, "Where is my room?"
Finally, his words caught the attention of Layne who furrowed his long eyebrows tightly and asked, "What room? Cheyenne, what does Master Iker mean?"
Cheyenne stuck out her tongue and told her grandfather everything with a guilty look on her face.
The next second, the room was filled with Layne's screams that were so loud that Cheyenne had to cover her ears while being tortured.
"What! Master Iker is going to stay here? How can this be possible! Although you look ordinary-looking, we can't guarantee that he won't have any ulterior motives towards you!"
After hearing Layne's words, Cheyenne widened her eyes in disbelief and pouted slightly, saying, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? I'm ordinary-looking?"
Wasn't this just another way of calling her ugly? Tanner looked carefully at Cheyenne's fair face, rosy lips, clear bright eyes and good shape and thought, 'She's not ordinary-looking at all!'
Iker's focus was on Layne's comment about him having ulterior motives towards Cheyenne; he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly with a faint smile, saying, "Old Mr. Edwards, don't worry about it. Although I am lame, there are certain standards when it comes to my other half."
Cheyenne was a divorced woman who he wouldn't consider as a life partner. The reason he chose to live in the Lawrence Villa was that he wanted to figure out who was behind the fire.
Upon hearing that Iker didn't like his granddaughter, Layne got angry again. "What did you say? My granddaughter is talented and beautiful. Why wouldn't you like her?" He seemed to have forgotten that he himself blackened Cheyenne in front of Todd earlier.
Cheyenne didn't care how Iker saw herself. In fact, she only saw Iker as a benefactor. After she cured him, they might not see each other again, so the argument on that topic was unnecessary.
"Okay, Grandpa, let's focus on business first. You go write down a list quickly so we can replenish our medicinal herbs."
"Hmph." Although still angry, Layne obediently went downstairs to prepare the list.
Considering Iker's injured leg, Cheyenne arranged him in the room next to hers so that she could take care of him if anything happened at night.
Since the family of four moved out, she had the villa redecorated according to her own taste.
The moment Iker pushed open the door, his expression was extremely vivid.
What met his eyes was a sea of pink - pink stars on the windowsill, a pink princess bed with a long fluffy carpet and dolls scattered all over...
Wasn't this just a room for little girls? Even if Iker went back to being seven or eight years old, he couldn't sleep in such a girly room.
He raised an eyebrow and spoke in a dull tone. "Miss Lawrence, may I change rooms?"
"Well, since there's only me living in this villa, the decoration style of all the rooms are the same except for my grandfather's room. Master Iker, do you want to live with my grandfather?"
