NovelOnlineAbbey flashed a bright smile as she walked up and linked arms with Irving. "What a coincidence, bro! Running into you guys here." Madge returned the greeting with a smile, "Hey, Abbey." "What brings you and Roseanne to the property office? Don't tellyou're house hunting?" "No, we actually bought a place yesterday." "Oh, I see..." Abbey gave her a once-over, the smile on her lips growing wider. "We're here to check out the properties, especially this Lakeside Gem. It's all the rage online! I heard it's tough to get a unit on the higher floors. People are lining up, trying to sweeten the deal with the sales team, but no luck!" "Thankfully, our cousin Lauretta knows a real estate agent here, and she managed to snag us a spot." "Just placed the order and signed the contract." As Abbey spoke, her eyebrows seemed to reach for the sky.

Bet you didn't see that coming, huh? "Jealous much? Too bad you don't have it." She thought.
Madge was indeed surprised, but what really caught her off guard was the fact that Irving and Abbey were switching houses again.
Didn't they just move into a new place three years ago? Why move again? "...Well, the last one was a bit too small. Didn't quite fit our needs, you know? And the amenities and environment here are just unmatched." Madge nodded, "So, what are you planning to do with your current place? Sell it, or maybe rent it out...?" Irving was about to respond when Abbey cut in, her lips curling into a sly smile. "We're not planning to sell or rent. We're not exactly strapped for cash, so why bother? Just going to keep it as a property investment. Let its value increase, right?" The Weeks family was well-off, and Abbey's parents doted on her. She had the confidence to back it up. "Bro, you haven't seen the high-rise units here, have you?" Madge shook her head. "No, I haven't." Yesterday, Anne was all about seeing the villas. They didn't even get a chance to look at the high-rise units before making a decision.

They even brought in a renowned international na designer for this... And the green spaces! You should see them Lush lawns everywhere, all the tracks are done up in synthetic material, and there are even dedicated basketball and badminton courts..." Abbey recounted with pride: "I'm not exaggerating when I say, living here adds ten years to your life!" Irving couldn't help but smirk. "Isn't that a bit much?" "Why would it be? You saw it yourself, right? I'm not making any of this up." Irving remained silent, feeling it was inappropriate to flaunt this in front of Madge.
After all, she and Norris had been living in a modest community m housing for decades, neveronde In decades, changing houses. Wasn't talking about this kind of like rubbing salt in the wound? But Abbey was looking for that exact reaction. She quickly changed the subject,
"Hey, you've been living in that community housing for over twent m years, right? Ever thought about moving you guys should consider this place. Then we'd be neighbors! It'd be great to have each other close by, right?"
။ "About the price..." Abbey trailed off, "It might be a bit over the budget but it should be manageable. Norris is a key high school teacher after all. A N little tutoring on the side, and the money will cin, no problem!" Madge frowned, "The education department has been pushing for less burden on students. They've banned outside tutoring. Norris has always followed the rules, never involved in that." Abbey pouted.
Turning down easy money? That's just foolish! "Well, if Norris can't earn extra, there's always you! I've seen authors make millions off a single book's rights. With all the years you've been writing, you must be doing pretty well for yourself."
