Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2734

When Andrew got home, he saw Aspen rushing around the living room, busy with something. He walked over and asked, "What are you doing? Are we having guests?"

Aspen was dragging a chair across the floor. Without even looking up, she replied, "Honey, you smell familiar. It's really faint, not perfume, but it's definitely a woman's scent. Uh, I remember now… It's Ms. Phelan's scent. What did you two do?"

A chill ran down Andrew's spine because Aspen had picked it up immediately. Then again, this was not the first time. She always had a freakishly sharp nose, and he was convinced her sense of smell was basically supernatural.

"Don't worry about what I did," he said, changing the subject. "Why are you moving all this stuff?"

Aspen wiped her sweat and said cheerfully, "Building a house! You weren't here today, but Patriarch Donovan came by. Sheena was here too. They said they want to build you a big house. Of course, they need your approval first. They said this place is the ancestral home you share with your father. Without your consent, Patriarch Donovan won't touch it."

Andrew only then learned that Donovan and Sheena had actually been concerned about this matter for him. But thinking about it, it was indeed time to properly renovate the house. There was no room for even one more person. Right now, Eric and Jerome were both staying at hotels outside.

Although the Lloyd family did own a hotel, and it would not cost any money or cause trouble, it was not the same.

Andrew hated the idea of his own people living out of hotel rooms. He had always wanted to rebuild the house, but he never had the time, as everything happened one after another.

"I'll help you move things, but Aspen, get rid of those old jars and bottles you're holding. They're too worn out, just throw them away."

Andrew rolled up his sleeves, ready to pitch in. Aspen quickly said, "Honey, don't!"

Andrew was puzzled. "Why are you stopping me? If we work together, we'll finish tidying up faster."
