Ava heard that and immediately turned back to the main bedroom to pick up the coat that Auntie Berta had brought over. After putting it on, she turned back happily and followed him out of the door.
Walking through the green park downstairs, Ava paid particular attention to the surroundings.
“Although this is right in the middle of the city, the environment is really good and doesn’t feel as fast-paced. If we don’t go back to the Bellevue Hill, it’s not bad to stay here in the future.”
If they stayed here alone, they could enjoy a simple world which revolved around each other. Although the helpers at Bellevue Hill knew when to back off and not disturb them, so long as there were other people, it would be different from the simple enjoyment of each other’s company.
For example, when she stayed here, she could see CEO Sylvester do the dishes. An occasion like this, if they were at the Sylvester household or the Bellevue Hill, all the helpers would definitely lose it.
After all, they would have to worry if they could keep their jobs. Antonio’s culinary skill was not beneath theirs at all. It was ridiculously good.
The saying that “the sage presents as an ordinary person,” when used to describe Antonio, was truly suitable.
Although Ava did not say it, Antonio could hear her intentions.
He glanced at her. “If you like it, then come here to stay. The passcode for the door is your birthday.”
“My birthday?” Ava was bewildered, her eyes glinting with suspicion although she did not show it much.
This place was where he often visited before the wedding. How could the password be her birthday?
“I changed it this morning,” without waiting for her to ask, Antonio directly and calmly declared.
Ava kept silent and smiled. Her heart felt beyond pleased.
The man was tall, and his legs were long. Ava quickened her pace to follow him, raising her hand to hold on to his elbow. However, she had just raised it when he caught her hand instead, keeping it within his palm.
Everyone who walked by the residence downstairs glanced toward them enviously. The man was tall and outstandingly handsome, while the woman was beautiful with the sweetest smile. It was rare to see a couple that was so compatible. Before today, they were not aware that there was such an envy-worthy pair of lovers living here.
Ava was only twenty years old. She was very young. Although the way she dressed was simple and classy, her eyes were big and her skin was soft, which caused others to think she was only seventeen or eighteen. No one had guessed that these two young people were husband and wife who had already been married for half a year.
They got on the car, and Ava sat next to the driver’s seat. While placing her seat belt on, she continued asking, “In the past, you only stayed here occasionally, right? Earlier on, I saw that several of the neighbors didn’t seem familiar with you.”
“Most of the time was spent in the company. I only came by occasionally.”
“No wonder.” Ava suddenly thought to look at the time, and then said, “You had only just returned last night. This time you left for England to discuss a project. The moment you came back, you’ve been busy with me. Is it all right not to go to the company?”
“There’s Shaun and the other supervisors at the company. It isn’t as if the company won’t be able to function without me there. I’ll drop by for a look in the afternoon. It’s fine.” Antonio drove the car out of Arc International.
Today’s weather could not be considered cold. Ava glanced at the man focused on driving.
Antonio did not wear a suit today. Instead, he had on a set of casual wear which gave him a rare homely feel. Compared to usual, it had much less of a distant feeling compared to his noble, handsome style.
He wore a black windbreaker, while Ava wore a white coat. This appeared to give them the look of a matching couple.
Typically, regardless if it was suits or shirts, Antonio always dressed this way. The colours he chose were always of cool tones. However, the autumn sunlight was filtering in through the car window and gave him a rare sort of warmth.
Ava wanted to say more, but after turning back to look at such Antonio, her mind suddenly replayed the scenes from last night. After he got on the car to drive them away, during the drive she… on the car… the things she did…
She pressed a hand against her forehead, turning to lean her face against the window to reduce the heat on her face as her other hand idly rubbed against the seat belt in front of her.
“What phone would you like?” The man driving suddenly broke the silence.
It was only then that Ava noticed that the car had already been driving for a while. They had arrived at a nearby business district, and there were many electronic shops ahead.
Antonio’s cell phone was custom-made overseas, and it had the highest level of security. It was an extremely advanced smartphone. Today, which is ten years before she died, smartphones have yet to become common in the country. In the next few years, the phone that Ava would use the most would be the iPhone. It was a good device that could be used for several years without slowing down, and she felt that it was very comfortable to use.
She glanced around and pointed toward an electronic store ahead. “I heard that America released a new phone last year. It’s called the iPhone, and it’s apparently really good.”
Antonio parked the car nearby. By the time they arrived, it was already afternoon. Today’s weather was slightly warm. Ava initially thought to leave her coat in the car, but under Antonio’s cold eyes, she immediately became conscious and rushed to put the coat on.
“It’s a little warm today,” Ava quietly muttered as she wrapped the coat around herself, following by Antonio’s side.
In the end, her hand was once more gripped by his as Antonio spoke unhurriedly, “Your hands are so cold, keep it on. You’re not allowed to take it off.”
Ava had no choice. She felt that she really had a strict husband, yet for some inexplicable reason, it filled her with sweet happiness.
Following Antonio into the electronics store, Ava saw at a glance the phone inside the glass display case with the words’ iPhone 3G.’
She never thought that one day she would come to buy the second edition of the Apple phone. Especially during a time when it had yet to become common within the country. The actual Apple generation would begin two years later.
Listening to the employee’s introduction, Ava kept smiling without speaking as she played around with the phone.
“Do you like it a lot?” Antonio saw how she kept holding onto the phone while smiling.
“En, let’s get this.” Ava raised her head to look at him. “The functions are all rather good. I like it.”
Antonio indicated for the employee to give him the bill. Ava had the employee bring out another smartphone of the same brand. The two were identical. This generation of the iPhone was only available in black color. “Shall we buy a matching couple pair?”
Antonio glanced at her. At this moment, Ava was smiling happily, her eyes shining like stars.
He did not have high expectations for phones: the security needed to be strong enough, and the phone could send out and receive business emails quickly. Seeing Ava’s childlike expression, he did not reject her. “We’ll buy two.”
The employee was beyond excited. This phone was the most expensive in the market. No one could bear to buy it, but right now, he was actually about to sell two pairs successfully!
By the side, because the other employee was not the one closing this deal, she asked with some jealousy, “Miss, are you sure you want to buy two? This phone is not cheap. It’s over four thousand yuan.”
Ava politely and calmly smiled without answering.
By the side, several envious and jealous employees came together to mutter, “That man sure is handsome. It seems like his background isn’t simple. Being so free with his money, that woman must be kept by him, isn’t she?”
“That’s right. Currently, many girls are making use of the fact they look pretty. The moment they meet rich men, they have them buy luxury items for them. Who would have thought that she also keeps up with the times. The moment she came in, she picked two pairs of iPhones. These sort of women who are reckless with their money sure makes people look down on them.”
