At Green Hills.
Renata and Danny were stunned as they looked at the massive gate before them after following Aurora’s GPS location.
Renata glances at him, curious. "Are you sure you followed the GPS correctly, Danny?" she asked. seaʀᴄh thё NovelZone.fun* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Yeah, this huge piece of land actually belongs to Alex?" Danny replied to Renata, his gaze fixed on his cell phone and the tightly shut gate.
Renata gasped in surprise. She knew Aurora was staying at Alex’s house all this time, but the location was a secret.
"Wow, Alex is really wealthy! My family only owns a small portion of land in this area." Danny continues his words, feeling impressed with Alex.
She glanced at Danny, "You are so lucky. My family can’t even afford to buy land here."
Danny chuckled while staring at the gate. "Well, that’s my grandpa’s land... he owned the land here before the price skyrocketed."
"Why hasn’t anyone opened the gate for us? Are you certain you sent your plate number to Rory?" Renata asked anxiously. "Or should you start honking the horn?"
"I guess I need to make a call to Rory... Oh, the gate moves..." Danny’s voice trailed off as he watched the gate finally start to open, and he was stunned to see a familiar face appear there.
"Keanu! Wow, he is indeed Rory’s bodyguard..." Renata’s eyes beamed as she looked at Josh standing near the guard post, facing their car and gesturing for them to move forward.
"Keanu? Since when did he change his name? I remember correctly that his name was Josh?" Danny asked while hitting the gas pedal. The car eventually moved slowly, stopping just before Josh.
"Hahaha, you’re right! Keanu is the nickname I gave him," Renata laughed, her eyes shining as she looked at Josh.
Danny, "..."
"Hello... Welcome..." Josh said. "You can follow this road, and you’ll find the house a mile from this gate," he instructed.
"Thanks, man," Danny replied shortly, slowly pressing the gas pedal. However, a second later, he abruptly slammed on the brakes.
"Wait, wait, Danny..." Renata suddenly stops Danny. She leans closer to see Josh as she cheerfully offers, "Hey Josh... You can ride with us to the house. Walking a mile there will be tiring, right?"
Danny can hardly believe his eyes! He can’t help but let out a little inward chuckle at the sight of Renata playfully flirting with Josh.
’What the hell, Rena!! So you like Josh, huh!? No wonder you are really eager to come even though you had family plans this morning...’ Danny silently scolded his best friend in his mind while waiting for these two people to talk. He could only pretend he wasn’t there.
"Thank you, Miss Renata." Josh smiled at her. "I have my own way to get back to the house," he nodded politely before responding and re-entering the guard post. He had a vehicle underground to take him back to the main house.
...
As the car began to move again, Danny shook his head gently, casting a glance at Renata, who wore a sweet smile while a rosy blush crept across her cheeks.
"So, you like Josh now?"
"What?" Renata was surprised as she looked at Danny. "How do you know that?"
Renata felt confused because she didn’t think she had already told Danny.
Danny simply laughed, ignoring her question.
"No way! Did Rory tell you?" Renata asked once more, a spark of surprise in her voice.
"No, miss... But... the way you’re looking at him seems different. Plus, you’re blushing!"
Renata beamed joyfully, cupping her cheeks in both hands as she tried to hold back her excitement.
"You’re absolutely right, Danny! It’s just a shame that Josh doesn’t seem to like me. He gives me the cold shoulder." Renata shrugs in annoyance at Josh.
A gentle chuckle escaped Danny’s lips as he playfully remarked, "Well, you are too old for him?"
"Tsk, tsk, come on... I’m not old, okay! We’re the same age. Well, I guess..." Renata halted, seeing Aurora standing by the door in the distance.
"I can’t believe this little madam looks even more beautiful!" Renata said, her eyes twinkling with delight and a bright smile on her face, staring at Aurora.
"Yeah, I’m jealous! We’re getting older, but Rory seems to be getting younger. She’s twenty-two, isn’t she?" Danny asked, chuckling to himself as he recalled how miraculous his best friend’s rebirth was.
Renata replied, "Hmm..." before complaining to Danny, "Damn it! Can you stop bringing up our age?"
With a deep sigh, she quickly set aside her frustrations about aging. She opened the car door and rushed to Aurora, leaving Danny to chuckle, looking at two of his best friends embracing each other.
After he parked his vehicle, Danny joined them.
He stood behind them, looking at the young woman before him. He felt strange about what had happened to her, reborn in someone else’s body.
"Danny, why are you staring at me like that..."
Aurora’s warm voice gently drew Danny from his thoughts. He couldn’t help but smile at her, opening his arms wide to embrace her warmly.
"I’m happy to see you again, Rory!" he whispered, struggling to contain the overwhelming emotions in his heart.
"Alright, let’s get inside..." Aurora smiled at him before putting her arm around Renata and leading them inside.
Instead of taking them to the living area, Aurora led them straight to her Stone House. This is her first time welcoming guests there, and she feels thrilled to host them in her own home. She intends to prepare a meal for them.
She had the freedom to do anything here without confusing the people in the main house if they saw her interacting with Renata and Danny.
After inviting them to sit, Aurora heads to the kitchen to prepare drinks. At the same time, Renata trails behind to share her excitement.
"Rory, I feel like crying. After so many years, I can finally visit your home." Renata is both happy and a bit sad.
"Sorry, Rena! You know how secretive Alex can be!"
"Yeah, I understand. Well, I’m happy for you, girl. Alex is so in love with you now, right?" Renata giggled as she watched Aurora blush.
"Clearly, he is in love. If he weren’t, he wouldn’t have let us come here," Danny chimed in from the sofa.
They both join Danny on the couch.
"Rory, tell us... is he good in bed?"
"Cough! Cough!" Aurora can’t help coughing at Renata’s words, feeling her cheeks heat up.
