Chapter 197 Chapter 197
Zara’s POV

I didn’t know where to look, the land around the house took my breath away. Now we are inside and Zane is dragging me around all the rooms on the upper floor, and I feel like I am in a dream. Both kids have run off to find their rooms and then Zane stopped outside a door and put his hands over my eyes.

“This is the master bedroom, so close your eyes and only open them when I say” he ordered as I heard the door open and he pushed me forward.

I allowed him to guide me into the room and then we stopped and he removed his hand from over my eyes “Open” he commanded

I did as he asked and slowly spun in a circle. The room made his last bedroom look small and the window had a love seat under it and overlooked the lush gardens below. I could already see myself curled up on it reading a book.

“What do you think?” Zane asked coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around me

“I have not even seen the rest of the house, and I want to buy it” I told him

“As soon as you told me about your dream to have a farm when you were a kid, I knew that this was the house for us. When I showed you the pictures, I forgot to show you the land with the house”

“Wow” Isla gushed as she ran in

“We chose our rooms” Lachlan told us “Isla’s is next door and mine is next to hers”

“I guess we are all in agreement then” Zane laughed “As I also love it, so how about we look at the rest of it and then I can get my lawyer to get everything sorted with an offer”

“Yes please” I nodded as I walked over to look at the bathroom and walk in closet. The bathroom had a huge spa bath and a double walk-in shower with heads that looked like they would give us a full body massage.

The bedrooms the kids chose were also huge and had their own bathrooms and walk-in robes as well.

“The lower level also has some rooms and a guest bathroom for if or when people come to stay” Zane told me

“Like your old place” I smiled

“Yeah, only they are also bigger and a few more of them. I think they were meant as staff quarters, but I know you are not a fan of having staff. I might get a couple of cleaners, but I won’t allow them to stay, and they will come and go when we are not here”

“Ok” I agreed as he was right and I didn’t like the idea of having staff hanging around. Especially now that we have the kids. Having people around who might notice how quickly they change could be dangerous for them and I would not do anything that would put my kids at risk.

We moved on to the lower levels and Zane showed me the large library first. I liked how it was on the lower level this time, as I liked the idea of keeping the upper levels for just us. The shelves were all empty with ladders scattered around the room on rails so they could move around. I could not wait to go shopping and starting to fill up the shelves. Knowing I had eternity to get the books read just added to the excitement.

“Want to see the kitchen, lounge or the pool next?” Zane asked

“Pool” I told him without even having to think about it

“Come” he chuckled as he ran off and me and the kids chased after him. We found him stood beside a pool that looked like it belonged in a holiday resort. It had a large pool for swimming and then a smaller pool with small slides and playthings for kids and a spa pool between them both. Then it had a lazy river pool that went around the outside of them all that was accessible by a small gap in the main pool.

“Forget what the kitchen and other rooms look like” I told him “I probably won’t use them anyway, you need to make an offer as I cannot miss out on this house”

“You won’t miss out” he chuckled “I will out pay anyone else and get this house” he led us back into the house and to the lounge “But you need to look at all the rooms as you might find something that puts you off”

“I doubt that” I mumbled as I looked around the lounge and the media room that was across the hall. Both were amazing and only made me love the house even more, then we went to the kitchen where the agent was waiting for us. The kitchen would make my dad weak at the knees, and I knew I was not worthy of such an amazing kitchen. “Maybe my parents can come and live here” I chuckled “Dad would love this kitchen, and they can live in one of the staff quarters”

“We can talk to them about it” he nodded “At least then I know you would always get well fed, I saw a restaurant down the road was for sale too”

I looked at him in shock as I hadn’t noticed anything.

“I notice things” he chuckled as led us over to the agent who was smiling and watching us.

“What do you think?” he asked

“We will take it” Zane told him as he handed him a card “Email everything through to my lawyer and we will get things sorted”

“You don’t want to discuss price?” he asked shocked “Usually you make an offer that I present to the buyer”

“You had an asking price on the listing” Zane sighed “I will pay you a mill over that if we can speed up the process and we can move in next week”

The agent looked like he was about to have a heart attack before quickly recovering and nodding “I will have the paperwork sent to your lawyer today”
