Kapitel 398: Testing the Waters

Ella noticed Luke's movement and immediately lifted her head, glaring at him. "What are you doing? Don't touch me!"

Luke froze for a moment, then awkwardly withdrew his hand, his expression shifting to one of cold detachment. "I was just going to tell you there's a guest room over there. If you're tired, you can rest."

Ella scoffed. "Rest here? I wouldn't even know if I got eaten alive!"

Luke's face flushed crimson. "Ella, don't overestimate your charm. I'm not Eric!"

Without giving him another glance, Ella turned and headed toward another staircase.

The villa was grand and spacious, with a main staircase in the hall and another leading to the backyard, showcasing its luxurious design.

Ella walked to the backyard, marveling at its size. It featured a swimming pool and a small plaza, a truly perfect estate.
