“Yes! It’s one of the most sought-out properties in the area!”
Edwin turned to gape at her like she was from another world.
“Even Grandpa was looking into buying this piece of land. Back then, the developers were planning to turn it into a shopping mall. It was later revealed that someone else bought the land, and they were turning it into a private manor. It was acquired through an auction, so the original price was multiplied several times. The buyer’s identity was never divulged to the public. It turned out to be Mr. Mitchell…”
Hannah was surprised to hear this. All along, she thought that Bryson had bought this villa by accident.
But it seemed like he owned every piece of real estate in the immediate vicinity. She didn’t know how to feel about that. Hannah brushed the matter aside for now and just said, “Come on, let’s head inside.”
As soon as she opened the front door of the villa, she was pounced upon by Lydia.
“Hannah! You’re finally here!”
“Okay, okay, calm down.” Hannah tapped her friend’s back and squeaked out, “Let go, you’re cutting off my air supply!”
Lydia happily pulled back, still grinning from ear to ear. Only then did she notice Edwin standing behind Hannah.
“Oh, and who might this handsome guy be?”
“Hello, I’m Hannah’s younger brother!” Edwin flashed his signature boyish grin.
Hannah had to roll her eyes at that.
“Wait, what’s this, Hannah? I know we haven’t seen each other for some time, but since when did you get such a good-looking brother?”
Hannah heaved an exasperated sigh and walked into the living room without answering Lydia.
“You guys talk and get to know each other.
I’m going to take a look at the kitchen.”

She was crossing the dining room when Bryson emerged from the kitchen, carrying two dishes in his hands and wearing a cartoonish apron.
Their eyes met for a moment before Hannah dropped her gaze to the aforementioned apron. There was a beat of silence, then Grace appeared beside her.
“Hannah! Oh, what do you think of his apron. It suits my brother, doesn’t it?”
Of course, it didn’t fit Bryson’s style at all Perhaps that was why Hannah couldn’t help but smile.
“It does, yes Bryson sighed and shook his head.
“Go and sit down. I still have two more dishes to cook.”
Everyone gathered around the table and took their seats, while Bryson continued to putter about in the kitchen.
