“I’ve already organized everything. Sis Wan, you should stay in this room,” Marius said to me as he opened the door of the master bedroom.
“The master bedroom?”
I stood at the door, not entering as I shook my head at Marius. “The room I stayed in before is fine. I’m already troubling you. How can I occupy your room?”
“You’re too late. Do you want to come in and take a look?” Marius winked at me and motioned for me to enter the room.
Confused, I went in.
All the masculine decor in the room had been switched out for feminine ones. Marius’ things were gone. The once-blue wallpaper had been torn off, revealing a simple white with some black stripes. The entire room looked simple but did not lose its quality. Even my things that had just been moved over during the day were neatly organized inside.
“This…”
I was surprised. I did not expect him to be able to get everything ready in such a short time.
“Do you like it?” Marius smiled at me as if asking to be credited.
“I like it, but…”
Marius cut me off before I could finish, “No buts. I have relatively fewer rooms here, and the last one has been reserved for Munchkin. The two children are still young, and I can only fit their cradles in the master bedroom.”
He had already arranged everything, so I could only accept since I could not let down his kindness. “Thank you. I’ll move out once everything passes.”
“There’s actually no need for you to hurry.” Marius’ voice boomed as he spoke hastily. I looked up at him suspiciously, and he hurriedly explained when he saw my expression, “I mean, I’m bored of living alone anyways. Not only can you keep me company now that you’re moving in, but the little ones are also cute. It’s a good thing that I’m able to play with them now.”
“Are you taking the children for toys now?”
“Sis Wan, you know that’s not what I mean, yet you still warp my words,” Marius grumbled while looking innocent.
Amused, I shook my head. “Alright, I won’t mess with you anymore.”
Timothy burst into tears. Wendy then started crying too.
I quickly went to the cradles to comfort them. “They must be hungry. Out with you, Marius.”
