Chapter 805

When Corinne saw that Anya was about to look over her shoulder, she quickly took the photo out of the book and

hid it in her sleeve.

Anya did not see the photo, only the squiggly text on the book’s pages. She frowned and asked, “Do you understand

this text?”

Corinne closed the book and put it back in its place. “I don’t. I was just browsing through it! Let’s continue with the

rest of your house tour!”

Anya was about to respond but was immediately interrupted by a sound.

Corinne’s action of putting the book back in its original slot seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and the

large built-in bookshelf moved to reveal a hidden door integrated within the bookshelf itself. The door automatically

opened in the middle of the bookshelf!

The sudden movement left Corinne stunned. “What’s this?”

Anya frowned and said with an unnatural expression, “It’s nothing! This is my father’s study. When it was renovated,

the designer felt that this door design was more seamless and beautiful! My father’s study is full of books too, so

there’s really nothing much to see there. Let’s go, Corinne!”

Anya wanted to drag Corinne away as quickly as she could since she did not want Corinne to look into the so-called

‘study’.

Her reaction was a little weird, and Corinne felt more interested to look inside. “We’re already here, so we might as

well go in.”

“There’s nothing to see in there, Corinne!” Anya wanted to stop Corinne, but she was a step

too late.

Corinne moved swiftly and had entered the room before Anya could stop her.

There, Corinne discovered that there was no study behind the hidden door. Instead, it was a simple small bedroom

with a single bed.

“Why is there a bedroom inside the bedroom?” Corinne wondered.

She narrowed her eyes in deep thought and asked, “Do your parents sleep in separate beds?”

Anya’s eyes darted shiftily, but she pretended to be calm and said with a smile, “Well, they sometimes sleep in

separate rooms when they argue. Don’t all married couples argue from time to time?”

Corinne raised an eyebrow. “They could just sleep in the guest room for one night if they argue. You have a big

home with plenty of empty rooms, so I don’t see the need to create a small hidden room in an existing bedroom.”

It was obvious that the room was built to hide the true nature of their relationship. Perhaps Maxwell and Phoebe

were afraid of giving people the wrong idea about them sleeping on separate beds.

Anya had an idea and attempted to explain, “Well, my mother doesn’t like my father’s snoring because it disturbs

her beauty sleep every night. That’s the reason he sleeps alone in this small room. My mother doesn’t let him sleep

in the guest room to preserve my father’s dignity

because the servants would know if he sleeps in another room. My father and mother have a very good

relationship, and they take care of each other very well!”

Corinne grinned inexplicably. “So that’s how it is!”

Anya knew she could not let anyone know about her family’s bad side. She was aware that her parents have always

slept in separate beds, but she could let anyone know about it, especially

Corinne!

Phoebe had always wanted to break the rut and get closer to Maxwell, but she was no closer to success than when

she first started doing so, despite trying all sorts of methods.

It was analogous to Anya’s repeated attempts to win Jeremy’s heart in all those past years- her efforts had gone to

naught!

She would never have thought that Corinne would trigger the switch to the hidden door and find out about the

secret room. Though she did not know if Corinne believed her explanation, she wanted to drag her away from that

disgraceful scene as quickly as she could.

Her true purpose was not to give Corinne a tour of the house. That so-called ‘tour’ was just a prelude to something

else!

Her true purpose was to…

“Okay, Corinne, now that we’re done with the tour of my parents’ room, I’ll show you the two most beautiful rooms

in our house!” declared Anya.
