You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

"Yes, I thought so as well. There is a small house nearby, and the owner of it put it up for sale a few days ago. It has a high price, so no one has bought it yet. I think you can take a look. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you without interest!"

Ralph had had this idea for a long time.

Although Lucille has completed her apprenticeship, he had watched Aurora ever since she was a baby. He saw her learn to turn her body, crawl, talk, and even walk.

He thought of her as his own greatgrandchild, and he was reluctant for them to move far away.

"Alright, I will go and take a look at it tomorrow."

"Let's go today. Aurora doesn't have to go to school. Take her there and see if she likes it or not."

Ralph was really anxious.

He feared that the house would be sold in a few days.

"Well... We'll go and see it today then," Even though Lucille said so, she thought differently in her heart.

This was an old area of A City. It was even considered a reserved area. Even if she wanted a small house, she could not even buy a screen wall from the small amount of money she made from the art exhibition...

However, since Ralph had said that, she could not disagree with his suggestion.

"You should go right now. Let me know what you think when you come back. If it doesn't work, you can bring the property agent over, and I will talk to him."

Ralph seemed very impatient. He wanted nothing more than for her to settle the business with the house immediately. He was afraid that she would take Aurora and move to a place far away. "Okay then."

Lucille had no choice but to take Aurora and contact the owner of the house. Before she left, Ralph pulled Aurora to one side and whispered to her.

The agent, Bob, was kind enough to come immediately.

The house she went to was of a common design, and it was only one-third in size of the art academy. From the looks of it, it was supposed to be a large mansion, but it was later divided into two. "There are five rooms in total. This is the main room. There are three parts in total. This is..."

Bob led them through the house, introducing each of the rooms to her.

Although the house was smaller than the art academy, it was still complete. It was big enough for Marie to move into too, and Abby might also be able to hang out here in the future.

Lucille originally only wanted to take a look at the house before going back and reporting it to Ralph, but after she looked at it, she really liked it.

"How much does this house cost?"

"Forty-eight million."

After hearing Bob's answer, the smile on Lucille's face froze. She knew that this was an expensive house, but she was still shocked after hearing the price.

She laughed awkwardly, "Oh, I will have to reconsider it..."

"Mommy, Master Zane told me to tell you that we will take it no matter how much it costs."

Lucille was about to refuse when Aurora spoke next to her.

It was only at this point in time that she knew what Ralph whispered to her about.

It turns out that she did not merely bring her daughter along. She even brought Ralph's little spy!

"Aurora... This house is too expensive for us."

Lucille squatted down and told her in a calm tone.

"But Master Zane said that if we don't have enough money, he can lend it to us. He says he won't charge us any interest." Aurora did not know how much forty-eight million dollars was.

"Aurora, I won't be able to return forty-eight million dollars to Master Zane, not even if I draw for my entire life."

Lucille did not know how to explain it to her. Her drawings only cost around ten thousand dollars for now, and her larger drawings could be sold for five digits. Even if she continued to grow as an artist, forty- eight million... She might only be able to return that amount by the age of eighty.

"But... I like it here."

Aurora pulled Lucille's sleeve, pouting. She looked very pitiful.

Bob was listening to their conversation, "So you are the disciple of Master Zane from the

Three K Art Academy!"

"You know him?" Lucille asked.

"We are agents. It is inevitable for us to know a little about the people around this place."

He explained.

"Oh... Alright then, I'll go back and tell Master Zane about the price." Lucille thought that Ralph might be unwilling to lend her such a huge amount.

Other houses were much cheaper than this, and she did not want to spend the rest of her life paying off the house.

"Sure." Bob saw that Lucille was going to take Aurora away. He said, "In truth, a client has already visited the house a few days ago. That person even said that he was going to pay the deposit in a few days. I will call him and confirm with him beforehand. If he doesn't want the house, I will let you know about it."

"Someone wants it? I understand. I will let Master Zane know about that."

When she heard that someone was about to make a reservation on it, Lucille felt at ease at once. She had a reason not to buy the house.

"Miss Jules, generally, when people say that they are going to reserve the house but don't pay the deposit, it is likely for them to go back on their word. So, if..." "No thanks, that person will definitely buy it. I think this house is great, so you should try to persuade that person."

Lucille did not wait for Bob to finish speaking. She lifted Aurora up and walked away.

She returned to Ralph's with Aurora in her arms. "The house is nice, and we have seen it. However, someone has reserved it."

"Is that so? Has someone already booked it? Why do they act so fast?" Ralph asked angrily.

However, Aurora hurriedly said, "Master Zane, that middleman uncle said that the person hasn't paid yet, and he may refuse it."

"Is that so?" He said immediately. "How about this? We'll go and pay for the house right now. It's that person's fault to delay his payment!"

"I don't think that's necessary, Master Zane. That house is nearly fifty million dollars. It costs too much."

Lucille was holding Aurora in her arms. She wanted to stop him, but Ralph was fast. He walked out to the yard in just a few steps. Lucille hurriedly chased after him.

The house that she went to see was only a few dozen meters away from the art academy.

When Ralph entered the house, Bob was still there, and he was making a phone call in the room.

"Are you the agent?"

Ralph immediately asked after he entered the building.

The moment Bob hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Ralph. He bowed respectfully and said, "Master Zane, nice to meet you."

Everyone around here recognized the dean of the Three K Art Academy.

"Since that person hasn't paid his deposit, we will buy this house. We will pay for the full amount."

Ralph's voice was louder than a bell. His words made Bob fall into a daze.

"Do you want to pay for the full amount?"

"Yes. Do you think I can't afford it?"

Ralph huffed, "I will get someone over to pay you immediately."

"Master Zane, can we forget about it? This house is too expensive. I might not even be able to pay it back to you after I die."

"What are you afraid of? I will die before you do. By that time, you don't have to return the money to me anymore."

Although Ralph was old, he did not avoid sensitive topics. He said it before Lucille even mentioned it.

"Master Zane, it's like this..." Bob hurriedly spoke when he heard that Ralph was about to pay. "I called the buyer I had scheduled just now. He said that he wants to buy it, and he is coming over to pay immediately. He told me to wait here."

"In that case, forget it." Lucille seemed to understand Ralph's meaning, but she was unable to accept this mil I ion-dollar gift.

"That won't do. We should wait here. We will discuss it when that person comes over." Since Ralph had already made a reservation, he sat down in a pavilion in the middle of the courtyard and looked at the decoration under the pavilion. After a while, he said, "Look at how great this house is. There is even flowing water here. No matter what, we have to buy it."
