RedNovelChapter 267 The Lady of the House Refusing to share a room didn't seem like an option.
After a brief hesitation, Sierra chose to compromise. She unzipped her suitcase and began unpacking.
"Where should I put my things?" she asked, keeping her head lowered.
She didn't notice the faint smile that flickered across Theo's lips.
"Wherever you like. If my things are in the way, move them however you see fit." He casually rolled up his sleeves, revealing his toned forearms.
Sierra glanced up, momentarily dazed.
His words carried an unspoken meaning-he was giving her full control, acknowledging her as the lady of the house.
She hesitated, wondering if she was overthinking it. After all... Benson had never allowed her such freedom. Noticing the sudden change in her mood, Theo crouched down beside the bed, meeting her gaze with a serious expression.

"You're the lady of this home. You can do whatever you wish.
"If there's anything you're not happy with, we can change it. I won't object.' Sierra had never cared much for material things, but his words struck a chord. A lump formed in her throat, and her eyes stung slightly.
When Theo saw the hint of tears in her eyes, a wave of panic flashed across his face-he hadn't intended to make her upset.
"Of course," he quickly added, "that doesn't apply to me." "Hey..." Sierra chuckled, swiftly blinking away the tears before they could fall.
Seeing her smile, Theo relaxed. A flicker of awkwardness passed across his face as he stood up and turned toward the door.
"You go ahead and finish unpacking. I'll be in the study taking care of swork." As she watched him leave, Sierra tilted her head, a quiet smile playing at her lips. Theo was different from what she had imagined, but... she liked it.
She resumed unpacking, carefully folding her clothes and carrying them to the walk-in closet.
Inside, rows of neatly arranged suits and crisp shirts lined the space. She reached out, her fingers grazing the smooth fabric at the shoulders, her mind briefly flashing to an image of Theo wearing them.
She had to admit the men of the Gray family were undeniably attractive, each one looking flawless in their clothes.
Theo was something else, though. Unlike Benson's youthful cockiness, Theo radiated a quiet maturity that made him effortlessly suited for formal wear.
After admiring the collection momentarily, Sierra reached for a section of his wardrobe and carefully shifted sof his clothes aside to make room for her own.
With her colorful dresses now hanging beside his neatly arranged, monochrsuits, the closet suddenly felt more balanced.
As she glanced between her delicate dresses and his sharp suits, a hint of amusement sparkled in her eyes. "It's oddly harmonious," she murmured to herself.
Just as she was about to leave, her attention was drawn to a row of glass display cases at the far end of the room, curiosity guiding her steps toward them.
"Wow!" Even though she had grown up surrounded by luxury, Sierra couldn't help but gasp in awe.
Inside the cases were rows of stunning watches and cufflinks, each piece worth millions.
The collection was staggering, almost like a private exhibition on its own.

As Sierra gazed at the accessories, her mind wandered to the image of Theo wearing them. The thought alone sent a rush of warmth to her cheeks, and she instinctively lifted her hands to cool them. In the study, Theo sat at his desk, his eyes focused intently on the two marriage certificates spread out before him.
After a long pause, he rose from his chair and walked toward a discreet safe in the corner of the room.
Inside the safe, which opened with a click, were two compartments-the upper one filled with important contracts, the lower housing priceless jewelry. Without hesitation, Theo carefully placed the marriage certificates in the lower compartment.
He returned to his desk, picking up a stack of documents and diving back into his work.
Tpassed unnoticed, and it wasn't until he set the final file aside that he glanced at the clock.
It was 5:00 pm.
Rising from his chair, Theo left the study and headed to the bedroom.
There, Sierra was lying on the bed, fully absorbed in her book. Her fair, her-book.d bare feet kicked gently in the air, n.
radiating a sense of calm.
