When Fate Intervenes (Giselle and Anthony) novel Chapter 6

After going back home, Giselle thought of speeding up her packing and moving process. However, because her leg was still recovering, she couldn't move around freely. So, she called a moving company to help her instead.

The living room was filled to the brim with boxes, big and small. A few workers were bustling about as they packed the things into boxes and brought them out to their trucks outside. The doors were thrown wide open as the workers diligently moved in and out.

Anthony was shocked to see the mess when he got home that day and asked Giselle what was going on. Giselle recited the answer she'd prepared beforehand and said, "The house in Haven Hills has been fully renovated and is now ready for moving in.

"Since it's closer to your workplace, it's more convenient for us to move there."

Anthony nodded, recalling the house deed he'd signed a while back.

After changing into some indoor slippers, he went to sit on the couch. He went over the house layout in his head while chatting idly with Giselle.

"You like flowers, don't you? Why don't we turn the east side balcony of the house into a mini flower garden for you?"

Giselle was silent for a few seconds. Then, she finally answered, "There's no need for that. I don't like them anymore."

Anthony instinctively glanced at the vase of fresh lilies on the table. He had a feeling that Giselle wasn't speaking the truth.

When he wanted to dig a little deeper, he suddenly realized that the workers seemed to only be packing and moving his things out. He then changed the subject and asked, "Why are they only moving mine out? What about your things?"

"They've already been moved out."

Anthony thought she meant her things had been taken over to the new house when he heard her answer so quickly. So, he didn't question her any further.

He got up and went to get himself a glass of water. He also reminded the workers and said, "Remember to label the things properly. Don't put them in the wrong room at the other place."

Giselle looked at him in silence. Her eyes quivered ever so slightly as she swallowed the words she thought she wanted to say aloud.

They wouldn't send them to the wrong room anyway.

That was because there were only Anthony's things at the new house.
