“Sure,” Mitchel responded absentmindedly.
Alexis looked at his son, who was taller and more handsome than himself, and felt a sense of pride. He reached out to pat Mitchel’s back, but the latter deftly sidestepped the gesture.
Annoyed by Alexis’ duplicity, Mitchel coldly said, “If you have no other important business, don’t bother coming here.”
Alexis felt a sting at those words. This place was his home, too.

Though eager to sell it out, Raegan didn’t want to sell her dream home at a low price. After all, she had chosen the Location carefully and believed it deserved a fair value.
That afternoon, Henley asked Raegan out, saying he would like to ask her a favor.
