The old lady and Alex exchanged a knowing glance—neither had to say a word to understand what the other was thinking.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at Alex’s newly purchased home. The old lady gave it a quick tour, her sharp eyes taking in every detail.
Aitana explained with a polite smile, “It’s still under renovation, so it’s a bit messy right now. There’s really not much to see until the work’s done and the cleaning service comes through.”
The old lady nodded. She wasn’t disappointed; she was simply curious.
Soon after, the group made their way to Aitana’s new home.
The moment they stepped inside, the old lady’s mood brightened. She praised everything she saw—the layout, the light, even the sofa.
Her compliments were genuine, not forced or polite.
