Chapter 76
Moira set her alarm for seven o’clock, as Barclay said he would come at eight last night.
Fearing that he might arrive earlier than eight, Moira quickly got up, washed up, and changed clothes.
She felt quite reluctant to leave her room where she had slept for over twenty years, but her thoughts were quickly dispelled by the sound of the car engine downstairs.
Moira hurriedly wheeled her wheelchair to the balcony, where she could see everything at the gate.
It was indeed Barclay.
At the same time, her phone’s second alarm went off.
He arrived at eight o’clock sharp, not a minute early or late.
Aiken, who always rose early, had already finished his morning run by this time.
The butler informed him that Barclay had arrived, surprising Aiken, who was reading the newspaper. “So early?”
The butler nodded and said, “Imogen has already brought him upstairs.”
Aiken quickly put down the newspaper and said, “Go and make some coffee.”
Moira also came downstairs. “Dad”
Aiken thought she hadn’t woken up yet. “Up so early!”
“Hmm, moving into Barclay’s villa today.”
As they spoke, Barclay had already come up from the stairs. “Mr. Jimenez.”
His gaze lingered on Aiken for a second and then turned to Moira. “Moira
Moira was drinking water and, upon seeing Barclay, remembered the dream she had last night.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Barclay was wearing a rather smooth black shirt today, which softened his coldness and sharpness, making him look a bit tender.
The shirt was tucked halfway into his pants, which outlined his long leg
Moira felt that Barclay’s figure was even better than that of professional male models.
When she met his gaze, her ears turned red all of a sudden,
Moira tilted her head and said, “Good morning.”
“Have you had breakfast?” Aiken asked Barclay.
Barclay shifted his gaze to Aikon and said, “Not yet, Moira asked me to come early.”
Moira stared at him wide-eyed, unable to believe he would be
She didn’t ask him to come early.
Aiken was also surprised, glanced at Moira, and chuckled, “Well, it seems she can’t wait to move in with you.”
Moira’s face was all red, but it wasn’t a good time to explain. She could only swallow this grudge and say, “I’m hungry.”

Seeing Moira’s shy look, Aiken smiled knowingly, “Let’s have breakfast first.”
With that, the three of them sat down
As soon as Moira sat down, Barclay took the seat next to her.
The fresh woody scent lingered in her nose, and Moira glanced at Barclay.
Unexpectedly, he was also looking at her. Moira felt a little guilty and said, “What would you like to eat?”
“Anything will be fine,” he said.
Moira glanced at the soy milk in her hand, “Would you like some milk?”
Barclay looked at her and said, “I’m allergic to milk.”
Moira was d and s i d, “Then how about coffee!”
“Sure, I’m not picky,” Barclay said.
Moira remained skeptical of his words. She had instructed Imogen to prepare breakfast for him according to her preferences, but she had replaced milk
with coffee.
There was an extra person at the Jimenez family’s dining table, and both Moira and Aiken felt quite strange.
However, Aiken had been in the business world for many years, and he understood social interactions, so he didn’t feel awkward.
Moreover, with Barclay intentionally engaging in conversation, the two men got along better and better
After finishing breakfast, Aiken still seemed a bit reluctant to part. “Do you have anything to deal with today? How about having lunch before going
back?”
Barclay glanced at Moira, his meaning clear.
