The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 170

Judson reluctantly let go, wrapping Nancy in a warm embrace and burying his head into the crook of her neck. "Goodnight, my Nancy," he murmured.

The next morning.

Nancy was still half-asleep when her phone buzzed. It was a call from Lenard.

"Hello?" she mumbled groggily.

"Nancy! You won't believe this! Either I'm incredibly lucky, or you are. The last villa in Maple Grove Residences—you know, that upscale neighborhood?—just went on sale yesterday, and it's at a huge discount!"

Nancy's eyes flew open. "Are you sure Maple Grove Residences is offering a discount?"

When she was house hunting in Ardenweald, she had her heart set on Maple Grove Residences. The security was top-notch, the scenery was breathtaking, nestled between the hills and a sparkling lake. Only the elite could afford homes there, especially those with a view of all Ardenweald from the top floor.

Securing a place there was harder than winning the lottery and far more expensive. She had to let go of that dream.

"Absolutely! I've already reserved a spot for you. Just give them your name. Get up and head over. I'll finish this draft for Potter and meet you there."

"No rush. Take your time," Nancy chuckled, hanging up the phone.

As soon as she put her phone down, a strong arm wrapped around her waist. Before she could process what was happening, Nancy found herself pulled into a warm embrace. The familiar scent of Judson's cologne enveloped her.

Nancy turned her head and found Judson staring at her, his gaze unwavering. Her heart did a little flip-flop.

"Nancy~ good morning. Who was that? You sound so happy," Judson teased, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
