Novel & Cerita Welcome To My Humble Abode

"But my home-" "No one will find this place, little witch. Don't worry about something like this." Something like this? "I know that this doesn't look much comfortable for someone like you, who lives between nobles and royals, someone who's close to a freaking king. But this is my home, I built this from zero, so you can think it's ridiculous, but I love this place." You can joke about me, but not about my little house, this is precious for me. "And I must tell you now that I kinda forgot how to interact with people and be civilized, and I had the problem of saying what I think. If you still want to take me with you, you must be aware of this."

I hope it isn’t too much of an eyesore.” My head shakes in denial, and I say, “Of course not. It’s lovely. And I am honored to be invited into your home.”

He didn’t need to. Deep down, I inhaled, smooth and full. “Welcome to our future.”

I said, and meant it more deeply than the two words could carry. Inside, I stood in the center of the small living room and simply breathed for a moment. The apartment was modest , secondhand furniture arranged with a kind of accidental coziness, a single window looking out onto a quiet residential street where a woman was walking a small dog and a child was drawing something on the pavement with chalk.

Make yourself at home.” I waved a hand at the room. “I mean, you own the building anyway, but—you know what I mean.”

--- Vera arrived, as soon as I got settled back at home. “ You are here. ” I stood up to welcome you here Into the house. “ Good evening, Vee. ” “ Same here, Joe. ” “ Welcome to my humble abode. ” I smiled. “ You've got a really nice place here. ” Her words made me smile brightly.

Theodore POV I walked into the mansion , I sighted grandmother at the Veranda. I groaned slightly, I’m not really in the mood for her scolding. “You decided to come home now?” She grimaced.

She was probably admiring it and maybe wishing it was her here instead of me. “Hey.” Avery waved at me immediately after Aubrey. “Hi, how are you guys doing?” I forced myself to smile and act nice like I was happy they came over. “We’re good.” They both said in unison. “You have a very beautiful home,” Aubrey added. “Yes, I do,” I said in the most prideful way ever. “Welcome to my house.” Maxim had already told me that what was his was mine, so I didn’t feel like a fraud when I called it my house.
