"No mistake there." Wesley chuckled. "The extra 200 thousand dollars is the interest you deserve." With a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's go upstairs and pick out rooms. If you're missing anything, we'll just buy online."
The others didn't pay much attention to the matter and followed Wesley upstairs, laughing and chatting.
Athena stared at the figure on the IOU, her mind frozen for several seconds before a warm sensation flowed through her, and her nose tingled with a touch of emotion. Whether it was a million, ten million, or even a hundred million, those were just numbers to her. Yet, she could deeply feel the affection her parents had infused into that number.
She understood why her parents had given her the IOU in front of the whole family. They wanted everyone to witness that they indeed owe her a million dollars. 'Is this what it feels to be loved by your parents?' Athena thought with a smile. 'It feels wonderful.' She sniffed, tucking the IOU into her bag before joining her family upstairs.
The second floor had a small living room at the top of the stairs. To the left was the spacious master bedroom, around 400 square feet. To the right, a hallway stretched out with two rooms on each side. Each room, about 300 square feet, came with a balcony, bathroom, and floor-to-ceiling windows, even more luxurious than a five-star hotel room.
Claire waved to her daughters. "Maria, Athena, Josie, you three go ahead and pick first."
"I have a lot of study materials and equipment, so I need a separate room for a study. I also prefer a quiet environment for reading. If you all don't mind, I'd like to take two rooms on the second floor of the annex," Athena said with a smile.
Everyone quickly agreed, "We don't mind at all. There are plenty of rooms. Take as many as you want."
Josie looked up and raised her hand. "Athena, can I live next to you?"
Athena patted her head. "Of course."
Maria hesitated before mustering the courage to speak. "I-I'd like to stay on the second floor of the annex too. I promise I won't disturb your studies."
"Sure, it'll be convenient for us girls to stay together," Athena replied with a gentle tone.
Maria let out a quiet sigh of relief, her eyes lit up with joy.
"The master bedroom over there is the biggest, so it belongs to Mom and Dad!" Arthur shouted, running down the hallway and stopping at a door. "I've already got my eye on this room. You can see the front gate from here. No one's taking it from me."
He then hugged the door with both arms and legs, pressing his cheek against it as if embracing a lover. With a blissful expression, he said, "This room is my dream room. I'll stay here for the rest of my life. I've decided—I want to die in this villa. And after I'm gone, bury my ashes in the backyard, so I can stay here forever."
Everyone burst out laughing at Arthur's exaggerated antics.
Claire smacked him lightly on the arm and shot him a playful glare. "Stop talking nonsense."
Athena pursed her lips, holding back a smile. She was tempted to say, "Have you considered we might not be here for long before moving into an even bigger, more beautiful villa?"
After choosing the rooms in the main house, they moved on to the annex. Though less luxurious than the main house, the annex was still quite exquisite. The largest room on the second floor was about 300 square feet, while the others were around 200 square feet.
Athena said bluntly, "Since I have a lot of stuff, I'll take the largest room. After Maria and Josie choose their rooms, the remaining one will be my study. If you find the rooms too small, I suggest you stay on the second floor of the main house."
"It's not small at all," Maria quickly said. "I think every room here is spacious." She didn't have many belongings, so a 200-square-foot room was more than enough for her.
