Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2479 That night, Andrew arranged a dinner to welcome Victoria and the others. After dinner, everyone had some free time to relax. Tiana could not wait to explore the Lloyd family estate from the inside, and by the end of it, she was completely in awe. She said, "Well, I've seen my fair share of luxury in this lifetime, but seeing the Lloyd family's grandeur makes me feel like I've been living under a rock! Andy, your family is seriously impressive." She gave him a thumbs-up, grinning from ear to ear. Victoria was more reserved, but her excitement was still visible.

" Andrew, that lady just now is named Sheena, right? Even though I've lost all my martial prowess, | can still sense she's. extraordinary." Before Andrew could answer, Aspen chimed in with a laugh. " Sheena? She's a total battle fanatic. And her martial arts are terrifying; she's already a Martial Emperor." Victoria and Tiana's jaws dropped. It took them a moment to process this shocking information. ---- "We tried to imagine how powerful Reggie's family was," Victoria said, finally finding her words, "but our imaginations fell short. The Lloyd family's younger generation is truly fearsome.

At her age, we were nothing." Having lost her own martial strength, Victoria had a deeper appreciation for Sheena's monstrous talent. Tiana nodded in fervent agreement. "It's true, there doesn't seem to be a weak link in the Lloyd family. Whether it's Andrew, Reggie, or this lady... though Reggie has been silent all these years." She then added with a sigh, "Victoria, | think he forgot about us long ago." Victoria said calmly, "| don't care about those anymore.

The only one | care about now is Andrew." Tiana gave Andrew a strange look, and he could not help rubbing his nose awkwardly, pretending he had not heard a thing. He honestly could not tell what Victoria was trying to say half the time. Rowan looked at him, still stunned. "Your family is actually this powerful? Why didn't you ever tell me?" Andrew chuckled. "There's nothing worth bragging about. The Lloyd family is impressive, sure, but that's not my achievement, ---- so | never felt right bringing it up." Rowan bit her lip shyly.

"If my grandma ever stepped foot in this place, she'd probably be begging me to marry you right away." Victoria suddenly asked, "Andrew, the Lloyd family's estate is. enormous. So why are you three living in this tiny old house? Are you being treated differently?" Andrew smiled. "Not at all. This is my ancestral home. It was destroyed about ten years ago during a battle, but once | get through this busy stretch, | plan to rebuild it." Victoria nodded approvingly. "You should. You'll need more space once you start building your family, and this little place won't cut it.

And Reggie's been wandering for years. When he comes back to retire, he'll need a proper home too." That night, there wasn't enough space in the old house since it only had one bed. As guests of the Lloyd family, Sheena prepared a guest room for Victoria and Tiana each. Rowan was supposed to take one too, but when she noticed Aspen and Natasha were not moving, she decided to stay put as well. She sat quietly for a long while, hands clasped, until it grew late. Then, the three women exchanged knowing looks before climbing into bed together without saying a word.

Eventually, ---- Andrew joined them, making the already small bed even more crowded. It was uncomfortably crowded, but everyone seemed happy nonetheless. Aspen, Natasha, and Rowan chatted endlessly through the night, laughing and swapping stories about life in Gabo Creek and Chetvine, as well as how each of them had met Andrew. Andrew had planned to spend some intimate time with them, but the three women kept teasing him for taking too long and said he was interrupting their talk. In the end, they unanimously voted to let him wait until the next day.

Tonight, it was the three women's time together.
