As expected, Ivy seemed satisfied after viewing the first apartment.
"Mom, how much is this place? I feel like it's a little too big for me. I wish there was a smaller apartment." A sheepish expression appeared on Elliot's face when he heard what Ivy said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Haha. This isn't that big. It's quite cheap, and real estate properties around this area tend to be more spacious. The apartments in this residential area can go up to 130 and 150 square feet! This is already the smallest one," Avery said.
The real estate agent did not understand what Avery meant and immediately said, "There are apartments within the range of fifty to sixty square feet that often target students studying at Southern University." Avery, Elliot, and Ivy reacted differently to what the agent said.
"Mom, he said that there are ones that are fifty to sixty square feet! Let's go have a look!" Ivy said excitedly.
Before Avery could say anything, Elliot blurted out, "Darling, that's too small. We will need a place to stay if wee to visit you, don't you think?" Ivy froze, realizing that purchasing a small apartment might not be a good idea.
"But there would be a place for Mom and Dad to stay even if I go for a smaller apartment, right?" she thought as she looked Elliot up and down. "My dad isn't like other dads. Maybe he would be ufortable living in a fifty square feet apartment. I guess I will listen to Dad." "Let's see the second one, then!" Ivy said.
Seeing how Ivy thought the first apartment was too big, Avery saw no point in viewing the other places.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The other two are houses and are further away from school," Avery said.
Ivy stilled when she heard the word 'houses'. Without hesitation, she decided, "I'll take this one, then!" She had thought that this was too big until she was told that the other options were even bigger.
"Are you really not going to see the other ones?" Elliot desperately เวน wanted to take Ivy to the houses sQ that she might see them. "Size doesn't matter, and the environment is the most important. The bungalow faces the sea, and though it's further away, we can assign you a driver so distance isn't an issue." Ivy shook her head without hesitation. "I'm just staying here occasionally, so there's no need for that am still going to stay with you if that's possible." Elliot was moved by what she said and immediately took out his card to purchase the 110 square feet apartment.
Theypleted the payment and signed the contract to obtain the apartment key before noon, so Elliot took them to lunch. Since Avery was hungry, they selected a restaurant closer to campus. After ordering, Ivy texted Layla. [Layla, you won't believe this but Dad bought an apartment near my university.] [Hahaha! That's because your university is a bit far from home. They are worried that you might get htoo late, right?] Layla replied.
[Yeah! I feel like buying an apartment is as easy as buying groceries for them.] [You will get used to it. Money means nothing if you don't spend it. That's how you contribute to the country's GDP] [Layla, are you used to living outside now?] [Yeah. I feel much better after the first week.] [Okay! We are going hafter lunch. There were so many people during admission, and I was the only one who had nothing to do.] [Do you want to drop by my office? I can give you a drone. You haven't tried using one before, right?] [No, but I don't think I will go today. I don't want to get in the way of your work. If you want to givea drone, just bring it with you on Friday night!] [I can get the driver to send it over to you right now.] [Thank you, Layla!] [There are drones at has well, but those are the older models. I will get you the latest one. Mom and Dad can teach you how to use it.]
