Not long after that, the butler hurriedly came down from the third floor and respectfully said, "Master Ernest, Miss Winston, the room has been cleaned up. Would you two like to rest before dinner?"
"We'll have dinner before resting," Ernest said, "Leah and I will go upstairs to wash up first. Can dinner be served in half an hour?"
"Of course." The butler immediately replied, "Madam Grace informed us earlier. She said that the four of you will be staying here for a few days and that we should serve you as best as we can."
"Thank you," Ernest said.
"Our pleasure." The butler immediately went to prepare dinner.
Ernest then brought Leah upstairs.
When they reached the third floor...
Ernest and Leah stood at the door of the first room on the right, not moving. Leah lowered her voice and said, "I can't hear anything. Are they in the room or not?" "Of course they are, it's just that the sound insulation here is better. How could you suspect them of not being in the room?" Ernest laughed as he looked at Leah.
Leah was stunned too. "Did you say that the soundproofing here is good?"
Ernest nodded. "It looks like you don't believe me."
Leah dared not admit it. After all, the experience she had the previous night was still haunting her.
Upon seeing Leah's reaction, Ernest laughed too. He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into their room.
They went in together.
What they saw were a luxuriously large bed and decadent decoration. There were large windows and a balcony facing the sun.
There was also an ensuite bathroom. In other words, the facilities there were perfect.
Leah sighed. The Jones family had a lot of properties and this was just a small part of it.
Leah walked towards the window after she entered. She could see the scenery outside at a glance.
When she looked out, she saw an open-air bath outside.
"Wow! Is that a swimming pool?" Leah asked.
Ernest nodded. "Not only that, there are indoor ones too. If you want to go for a swim, we can use the indoor one. The outdoor one is better during the summers. It is too cold now."
"That is truly luxurious." Leah could not help but sigh.
Ernest smiled. "Do you like it here?"
"Of course! I don't think anyone would dislike this place. It is far from the busy city so the air here is fresh. It is so beautiful." She really liked the place.
The villa was filled with greenery. There were mountains, trees, bridges, and rivers everywhere. The whole place was natural and quaint.
The more she looked, the more she thought it was enchantingly beautiful.
"If you like this place, we can stay here for a few more days," Ernest said with a smile.
Leah nodded. "Sure. I want to stay here for a few more days with you."
"Let's climb the mountain tomorrow," Ernest said.
"Okay." Leah agreed then thought for a moment, "We can have an outdoor barbecue. Oh, we can also tie a hammock to the trees there and relax there, basking in the warm sunlight of the winter. How wonderful."
She went to the bed, sat down then laid back on the bed and spread her limbs.
"Wow, the bed is so comfortable!" Leah exclaimed.
"Is it?" Ernest could not help but laugh at her antics.
Leah nodded, then tilted her head to look at him. "This bed is more comfortable than yours. This is a true paradise."
Ernest thought that she was really cute. It was just a bed. Was there a need for her to describe it in such an abnormal way?
"Do you like soft beds?" Ernest sat down on the bed and smiled down at her.
