Chapter 28 Mansion and mansion

Colin began to hesitate whether to accept the deposit note. After all, the amount was too large. What would the teacher and senior sister think if they knew it?

However, before he could answer, Old Harvey slid the bank note aside, revealing a larger piece of paper underneath.

"Because I heard that Mr. Wayne has no residence in the city for the time being. In case it is inconvenient to stay overnight, the owner specially selected a two-story mansion with a courtyard in the garden area. It is not too spacious. I hope to give it to you as an occasional residence.

Use it when you stay.”

Before Colin could recover from the ticket deposit, he suffered another critical attack.

What's the meaning?

Are you giving me a house?

Or in the garden area where rich people gather?

He had sensed something was wrong this time and was ready to refuse on the spot.

But before the words were spoken, Old Harvey repeated his old trick and revealed the bottom and largest piece of paper.

"In addition, the owner has a manor under her name, which happens to be at the foot of the mountain not far from the Mage Tower outside the city. She is usually too busy and rarely goes there. She thought it would be a waste to leave it empty, so she gave it to Mr. Wayne.

When you have free time, you can also have a place to relax.”

After Old Harvey finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited quietly with a sincere expression.

Colin prepared to speak several times, but was always speechless and had no idea what to say.

A mansion in the city, a manor outside the city, plus 500 gold francs.

Thinking of this, Colin nodded slightly: "In that case, I will accept it for now, and I will thank Ms. Fenia in person next time."

Colin quickly put these messy thoughts out of his mind and said to Harvey seriously:

"Mr. Harvey, I appreciate Ms. Fenia's kindness, but these things are too valuable. Please forgive me and I can't accept any of them."

"But, these..."

There must be something he doesn't know about.

"I was just looking for you, come and sit." Tessa motioned to Colin to sit on the chair opposite her without raising her head.

If 500 gold francs is still reasonable, then mansions and manors are completely different.

"Isn't this what I was asked to hand over to you?" Colin asked.

"Praise for your magnanimity."

Tessa didn't seem to take it to heart, still staring at the needle and thread intently.

"Senior sister, Mr. Harvey from the Youjin Chamber of Commerce came to me just now and gave me these things."

Tessa smiled and said: "Ms. Fenia has always been very generous, and her vision has never been wrong. Since she is willing to pay such a reward, it must be reasonable."

The setting sun shines in from the window, covering half of her body and face with gold, which is extremely warm.

wrong!

"Is this made for me?"

Moreover, although Ms. Feniya is a few years older, she has outstanding appearance and is very feminine...

Thinking of the purpose of coming here, he took out the deposit receipt and two house deeds and placed them on the prototype small coffee table next to him.

"Um."

"Why, don't you like it?"

…

Harvey understood that this meant that he planned to return the gift to the owner in person, but his task was just to give the gift away today and not worry about the future, so he bowed and smiled:

Does senior sister know this?

But no objection?

Maybe I really thought too much. The Youjin Chamber of Commerce only transferred the property to the senior sister or teacher by myself?

"I know this manor. I attended a garden party before. The place is quite spacious, and it's not far from here. It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk by carriage. As for this mansion... No. 91 Locke Street, although I have never been there.

, but judging from the address, it should be in a good location. If you remember well, the White Rose Theater is on that street... Well, I haven't been to a theater for a long time, and I still have two satisfactory dresses that I haven't worn yet..."

Colin pushed open the door skillfully and saw his senior sister sitting at the desk by the window, sewing a piece of black clothing.

Tessa smiled and said: "You helped the Chamber of Commerce repair the loom, and Ms. Fenia thanked you for it. If it is to be given to me, why should you hand it over to me?"

Old Harvey showed no surprise, as if he knew Colin would react this way, and said:

But why?

Colin sat down obediently.

"Mr. Wayne, this is indeed just the master's wish. Please don't dislike the shabby nature of the gift."

"Then I'll put it here."

"Then why don't you like it?" Tessa asked doubtfully.

Although because of the teacher, the other party should not dare to set any tricks on him, but this kind of unclear and unclear thing was obviously beyond his tolerance, and Colin would not accept it at all, so he refused very simply, even the 500

Jin Lang also rejected it.

What kind of reward is this?

Are you trying to protect me!!!

Think of me, Colin Venn. Although he has good features and can be considered handsome, he is probably not worth the price.

Without waiting for Colin to answer, he showed a respectful and humble smile, and continued: "In addition, when I was waiting for Mr. Wayne, I stopped by Miss Tessa, and she also took a look at this gift list."

Ms. Feniya and her senior sister are obviously very familiar with each other, so why bother?

He was a little unsure for a moment. He looked at Old Harvey, who had his head lowered and looked cautious in front of him. He thought that since his senior sister knew what he was doing, he would accept it first and go back to confirm. In case this was not the case, he would ask her senior sister.

It's not difficult to return it.

"But……"

Seeing that the senior sister was getting further and further away, Ke Lin quickly stopped him and said:

Colin was already too lazy to listen to what the other party said, but the last sentence left him stunned.

"Sister, what you do must look good." Colin finished flattering him regardless, and then asked curiously: "What kind of clothes are they?"

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am not at a disadvantage...

"Sister, I know it's very good."

"I haven't sewed in two years. I don't know if my skills have deteriorated." Tessa lowered her head and counted the threads.

Damn it!

"Sister."

"I'll keep it secret for now. I'll show it to you when it's ready." Tessa smiled.

"Oh." Colin was very obedient.

"Please come in."

"Why do you put the things I gave you here?" Tessa then raised her head and asked with some confusion.

What am I thinking?!

Colin was deeply moved. Although all his clothes had been prepared by his senior sister since he arrived at the Mage Tower, it seemed like this was the first time he had sewed them by himself.

Tessa picked up the unfinished half of the fabric and placed it in front of Colin and measured it twice.

After seeing off old Harvey, Colin hurried up the stairs, reached the twenty-third floor, and knocked on his senior sister's door.

Before Colin could finish speaking, Tessa waved her hand and said:

"Don't you think it's making a mountain out of a molehill?" Colin said helplessly.

Tessa put down the cloth and needlework, picked up the two land deeds, looked at them for a moment and said:

"Okay, don't bother me with this little thing. I still have to think about the style of my clothes."

…

Colin walked out of the room in a daze.

Is this a small thing?

He looked at the house deed and deposit receipt in his hand with a confused look on his face.
