At the entrance to the right, there was an elevator that could be used up and down if one of them was too lazy to walk. Even though the house only has three floors, the elevator was built for convenience for the people that would be residing in the ho.
Upon entering, they were greeted by a spacious family room with a large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. White leather sectionals were with the matching coffee table.
When they walked past the living room, they entered the dining room that had a long marble table, large enough to be occupied by twelve people. While the seats were made of leather, it also had the sa color of the sectional in the living room.
On the left was an imnse, fully equipped kitchen with expensive kitchen utensils. When Mother Fely noticed them, a beautiful smile suddenly appeared on her lips. Her thoughts had begun to flood with ideas on what dishes she could cook for everyone.
Ariel, Arthur, and Arnel headed straight outside where there was an Olympic-size swimming pool. There was also a bar on the side and chairs with umbrellas.
On the other side was a guest lounge that had a sofa and another flat-screen TV hanging on the wall. Behind the lounge was a smaller kitchen, but this kitchen especially had a barbecue grill.
The eyes of the n widened more, and they were all muted speechless. They felt as though they were in a resort, not just another normal house.
Arthur couldn’t help but joke around. "Ariel, I think we’re a bit unlucky! Look at this place... why don’t we just stay here and accompany our sister? Hahaha!" Arthur jokingly said with a big grin plastered on his face.
"Nah, I don’t want to get used to this kind of life. I’m fine working hard so when the ti cos, I can have a house like this in the Philippines. Hahaha!" Ariel replied also has a wide grin plastered on his face.
"You’re right – don’t you all forget that we are just here because your sister is pregnant. This is not ours so don’t act like you are royalty because of these lavish things," Mr. Gusman reminded his sons.
The four of them chorused, "Yes, father! We will never forget that!"
Unbeknown to them that Butler Ruffy smiled as he stood at the door while listening to their conversation. He couldn’t help himself mumbles...
"Sir Jones and Madam Ashley’s family are very lucky not to be greedy. That is why the Lord God blesses them. I hope you recover very soon sir so that you can see how happy the whole family of the woman you love." Tears began to form in his eyes.
Little did he know that Ashley was right behind him and heard every word he said and with a confused look on her beautiful face, "Uncle Ruffy, please repeat what you just said," Ashley declared as her eyes widened.
Butler Ruffy was astonished and utterly speechless. When he got himself up, he smiled and acted like he didn’t understand Ashley’s question.
Ashley raised an eyebrow and frowned before answering, "I think I heard you say that ’you wish you recover soon, sir? What do you an by that?"
"Huh? I didn’t say anything like that. I said I wish Chairwoman would have recovered and that she could have co here before you gave birth," Butler Ruffy retorted without blinking.
Ashley simply stared at him and obviously did not believe what the Butler had explained. Even still, Ashley did not continue their conversation. She thought that maybe she’s overhearing things, but she clearly hears him say that... then, maybe not.
"Uncle Ruffy, can you accompany to my room. I want to rest... maybe I’m just tired – that’s why I’m hearing nonsense," Ashley remarked.
Butler Ruffy sighed in relief. He escorted Ashley to the top floor, where the master bedroom was. The bedroom was so big that it occupied the entire floor.
