Chapter 152 - 152: 152: Cleaning the Room to Offset Rent

“It’s just for one night, and if you really don’t want to receive undeserved gains, then…” Adrian Nash turned his head, pointing at the house, “No one has lived here for several years. If you truly want to pay rent, help me clean up the first floor. Consider it as offsetting the rent, alright?”

Several hundred USD was nothing but the price of a cup of liquor to him. What did he need it for?

Emily Walker looked up at him, then lowered her eyes in thought.

It seemed that he was right. No matter what, she needed a place to stay tonight.

“Then… thank you.”

Seeing her finally agree, Adrian Nash couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that becoming friends with her was not easy at all.

“Let’s go.”

They entered the courtyard and opened the grand entrance to the living room.

The furniture inside was covered with white cloths, and due to no one living there for a long time, the place was now ‘dusty and neglected’!

The dust-covered furniture was like Adrian Nash’s childhood memories, sealed under dust. As time passed, now when looking at it, it didn’t seem as fresh in memory as it had been initially.

“Sorry, it’s just that no one has cleaned it in a really long time.” Seeing the thick layers of dust everywhere, Adrian Nash hurriedly lifted the white cloth from the sofa. But since he had never done this before, when he lifted it, the dust fell back onto the sofa, making things awkward in an instant.

Now there was nowhere left for her and her little brother to sit.

Looking at his awkward movements and expression, Emily Walker didn’t care and chuckled softly. “You all stand for a while, I’ll go clean.”

After saying that, Emily Walker looked around and found cleaning tools and an apron in a room.

Fortunately, the water and electricity in the house hadn’t been cut off, making the cleaning not so troublesome.

Wallace Carter, who was nearby, saw his older sister cleaning by herself and couldn’t help but join in. He picked up a cloth, carried a water bucket, and started wiping the floor!

After spending a few months in the hospital, he needed to exercise his muscles or else they would become stiff!

Seeing the siblings working so happily, Adrian Nash experienced such a scene for the first time. He never thought that doing housework could be so enjoyable!

With an itch in his heart, Adrian Nash suddenly wanted to try it as well. He took a mop from the side and began wiping the floor after Emily Walker.

So, like that, the three of them worked together – one used a vacuum cleaner in front, another followed behind mopping the floor, and the last one wiped the floor clean with a wet towel.

After two hours of hard work, the living room and bedrooms were finally restored to their original appearances, shining anew!

“We’re finally done!” It was Wallace Carter’s first time doing housework, and he was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa, huffing and puffing.

It was also Adrian Nash’s first time, but he didn’t feel tired. Instead, he thought it was pretty interesting.

Both men lay on the sofa, while Emily Walker went to check the two rooms on the first floor. Presumably, these rooms had once been used by servants, as there was clutter piled up in the corners of the walls.

Having tidied up the two rooms once again, which she and her little brother were going to stay in tonight, she came out to the living room half an hour later.

When she came out, she found that Adrian Nash was gone, but her little brother was curled up on the sofa, watching TV..
