"This is the fourth young master's study.
Usually, except for Lily who is in charge of cleaning, no one else is allowed in.
Of course not, madam!" Chloe pointed to a room on her left and explained to Evelyn.
Evelyn nodded.
She figured since it was Alexander's study, it would hold important business documents.
It made sense to keep others out.
But technically, she was one of those "others."
"This is the fourth young master's bedroom." Chloe opened the door to another room.
"Oh," Evelyn replied, peeking inside.
She didn't plan to go in.
It felt wrong to barge into someone else's bedroom.
Even if they were married, they hadn't even met.
"The fourth young master likes peace and quiet. He's very busy with work and gets little rest.
So when he comes back to rest, we usually don't disturb him for meals or sleep.
When he wakes up, he sometimes goes to the main hall to eat, and other times he asks Lily to bring it to him," Chloe explained.
Evelyn nodded and looked around.
Alexander's room was simply decorated.
It was clean and neat.
Besides a single sofa, there was a bed, two nightstands, and a few books on the desk.
There was nothing interesting.
Not even a single picture.
They left Alexander's bedroom and went to their so-called wedding room.
"Madam,
this bedroom is your wedding room with the fourth young master.
It has been redecorated.
If there's anything you need to add or change, just tell me," Chloe said, opening the door.
What Evelyn saw was nothing like Alexander's simple room.
It was so complicated it made her dizzy.
"Madam, please come in!" Chloe said to Evelyn.
Evelyn had to go in.
This bedroom was much bigger than Alexander's, and the layout was far more complex.
Chloe explained the design and decoration one by one.
Evelyn felt dizzy.
Honestly, her requirements were very low.
She just wanted a comfortable bed.
"Madam, do you need anything else?" Chloe asked.
"It's quite complete. I don't need anything extra," Evelyn replied.
She wanted to say she didn't need to buy anything.
In fact, she thought some things were unnecessary.
Like the pink, complicated palace-style mosquito net!
It made her dizzy!
Was she Sleeping Beauty or Snow White?
Could it be removed?
And the window sill in front of her could be changed to a tatami.
She could sit there and watch the scenery, or set up a small table and drink.
Well, she was overthinking again.
A bedroom was a bedroom.
Did she want to turn it into a suite?
Finally, they went into the dressing room and bathroom.
In the dressing room, her and Alexander's wardrobes were separate.
There was a full wall of mirrors, which she liked.
In the bathroom, the toilet, shower, and sink were in three separate spaces.
That was also her favorite style.
So it seemed her favorite designs were the dressing room and bathroom.
Well, she was missing the point.
After visiting the wedding room with Chloe, they came out.
Evelyn couldn't help but stop Chloe.
"Chloe—"
"Madam, just tell me if you have anything to say. It's fine!" Chloe looked at Evelyn and smiled.
"Is your young master easy to get along with?" Evelyn asked awkwardly.
She was completely unfamiliar with him.
She was really worried about conflicts when two strangers lived together.
"Don't worry, madam. The fourth young master is a steady man!
He doesn't lose his temper or act impulsively."
"Oh," Evelyn nodded. She felt relieved.
They were both rational adults.
They should get along well in the future.
At least they could be reasonable!
"Madam, you will be very happy in the future!" Chloe added at this time.
"…Oh, thank you." Evelyn blushed and replied awkwardly.
"The fourth young master is a bit busy. After all, he not only manages the Sterling Group, but also takes care of the whole family's meals.
We all think the fourth young master works very hard!
Now the fourth young master needs the support of his other half. After you come, madam, you should take care of each other. It will be much better," Chloe answered with a smile.
"Well!" Evelyn awkwardly nodded.
To be honest, she didn't know what she could do for Alexander.
"Do I need to do anything at home?"
"No!
Madam, you just need to take good care of the fourth young master.
That's wrong. You just have to be responsible for loving the fourth young master and giving the Sterling family more children!" Chloe said with a smile.
"…" Evelyn was immediately embarrassed!
Was she a sow?
"Madam, we all think you are very lucky to marry the fourth young master.
Actually, many girls like the fourth young master.
But the fourth young master has been busy working all these years.
Especially after the first young master left, the fourth young master was almost too busy to take care of his own life.
It's like that now.
But now that you are married to the fourth young master, the family will be as lively as before," Chloe answered.
"Many girls like your fourth young master?" Evelyn asked curiously.
"Yes. But don't worry, madam. Our fourth young master is not that kind of playful person. He will be good to you," Chloe said, realizing she might have said something wrong and quickly explained.
"Oh," Evelyn nodded.
But she thought,
But your fourth young master likes men!
No matter how many girls like him, it's useless!
"Madam, you have been getting along well with the fourth young master these days."
"Ah? Oh, very good!" Evelyn was stunned for a moment before awkwardly replying.
What getting along?
She hadn't even met him!
So far, her understanding of Alexander came from others.
"Let's say, madam, once you see the fourth young master, you will like him.
The fourth young master is a good-looking man with good character, ability, and a strong sense of responsibility.
So madam, you will be very happy in the future!"
"Thanks for your kind words, Chloe!"
Could she say she was just waiting for a divorce?
"Madam, you should rest in the fourth young master's bedroom at noon. I'll come back to get you when he returns," Chloe answered.
"I'll trouble you," Evelyn said.
"Madam, this is what Chloe should do. Don't be polite to me.
Madam, you rest first. You can call me directly if you need anything.
There's a landline. You can find me by dialing number 6."
"Alright!" Evelyn nodded.
Chloe went downstairs first and left Sterling Manor.
Evelyn was alone.
To be honest, she felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, she wasn't familiar with this place.
And now she was the only one.
So Evelyn waited for Chloe to leave, then went downstairs.
She wanted to look around the family home.
Anyway, it was a big family. She could visit it first.
Out of Sterling Manor, Evelyn walked forward casually.
The wind was blowing, and it was a little cold.
She couldn't help but wrap her coat tightly.
"Hi—"
Evelyn turned her head and saw a handsome young man with beautiful features, wearing a sweater and jeans.
She was a little puzzled and asked,
"Hello, do I know you?"
"Evelyn, I'm Ethan. Have you forgotten?
We met at the coffee shop!" Ethan came over and said with a smile.
"Parrot!" Evelyn blurted out in surprise.
"What parrot?" Ethan asked.
Evelyn realized she had said something wrong and quickly changed her words.
"No, I mean long time no see. You look very different from before!"
She couldn't believe the young man in front of her was the parrot with colorful hair she saw at the coffee shop!
Ethan looked down at himself.
"It's a little different. Now it's more literary style!" Ethan said with self-mockery. "When did you come here?"
"I came here this morning. The old lady is resting now, so I'm walking around," Evelyn explained.
"No one is guiding you. The family is getting worse and worse," Ethan said discontentedly.
"No, you misunderstood. Chloe was with me just now. She wanted to take a lunch break, but later I couldn't sleep and came out for a walk," Evelyn explained quickly.
"Then I'll show you around," Ethan said enthusiastically.
"It's okay. If you're busy, go ahead. I'll just hang out," Evelyn declined.
"Auntie, you're still being polite to me!
Do you think you would have married my little uncle without me?
I'm still half a matchmaker!"
Evelyn was a bit embarrassed.
"Well, you're a matchmaker. Do you want a red envelope from me?"
"Forget about the red envelope. Just say a few good words to me in front of my little uncle!
Little aunt, this way!
My little uncle is very handsome," Ethan said, leading the way.
"I didn't see it!" Evelyn replied truthfully.
Ethan was about the same age as her, and he looked very childish.
Evelyn felt more comfortable with him.
"Didn't you see it?" Ethan turned his head and looked at Evelyn in surprise. He thought he had heard wrong.
"I didn't wear my glasses on the day of registration. I didn't see clearly," Evelyn explained.
Ethan chuckled.
"I'm really convinced by you. Don't tell me you haven't met since then?"
"I told you, don't tell the old lady."
"Don't worry!" It seemed his promise was never convincing!
"I haven't met him.
Your little uncle seems to be very busy, and so am I," Evelyn added.
"I'm beaten by both of you.
You're already registered to get married, but you're still like strangers!
But it's okay. I have a picture of my little uncle here. Do you want to see it?" Ethan said.
