Madam Moreland disagreed, "Stay here tonight, just use your room; I've even changed the sheets for you."
Owen Moreland said indifferently, "No need, It's not very convenient to stay here."
His words sparked some suggestive thoughts, and Madam Moreland immediately chuckled with understanding, "Alright, alright, then you two head back."
Amelia Clarke: "..."
On their way back, Amelia Clarke thought about Owen Moreland mentioning moving in with her. Although his past actions in her home had given her hint of his intention, hearing him say it so directly still stirred some resistance within her.
After some contemplation, she said, "Isn't it fine living at South Hill Villa? Why would you want to move to... my place?"
Owen Moreland remained silent, stretching out his right hand to rest atop Amelia Clarke's thigh. Through the fabric of her jeans, she could feel the dry warmth of his palm.
