“Alright,” he said silently.
Just as Bettany was about to end the call, she could not resist and added, “Take care of yourself, don’t stay up all night.” Max nodded silently.
Meanwhile...
Lilly and her father had already arrived at Max's residence.
The surroundings were pleasant, it was situated near Loop River and a lake, with apartments.
Lilly entered the password, and the door opened with a jingle, accompanied by a gentle mechanical voice saying, “Welcome home, master.” On a stormy day, the weather was gloomy, and as the voice echoed, all the lights in the house turned on automatically.
The curtains opened by themselves, a chair extended from the shoe cabinet near the entrance, and a soft, sterilized cotton mop also emerged.
Lilly widened her eyes in astonishment. “Wow, it's like a scene from a movie!” Josh exclaimed in amazement, “It's just like Iron Man's house!” The technologically advanced light strips were dazzling, and the center of the spacious living room had a sunken area with a built-in sofa.
Next to the living room was an open study, with only one wall adorned with various machines emitting a soft, warm white glow, striking a balance between futuristic technology and soothing aesthetics.
At that moment, a virtual figure appeared in the middle of the house.
It had long legs, black stockings, professional attire, and curly hair...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlake coughed.
Young people these days...
Though he thought he was young himself.
“Guests detected... Hey, where's the master? Lilly observed the virtual assistant curiously.
The harem spirit peeked out and exclaimed, “It's quite human-like. It even asks for its master.” The virtual assistant wore a curious expression on their face. After a moment of silence, they spoke, “I received the master’s instructions. The master will be working late today, and I, Stacy will be responsible for entertaining everyone.” The virtual figure transformed, wearing suit trousers and a small jacket while tying up their hair.
Blake was speechless.
Too late, Max! I've seen it all.
It turned out that after Max answered his mother’s call, someone approached him to examine a machine part, so he rushed off.
It was only after he left that he remembered about the virtual assistant at home...
Lilly reached out her hand, cautiously attempting to touch the virtual assistant, but her hand simply passed through the light curtain.
How incredible! The virtual assistant smiled sweetly and said, “You can’t touch me, but my service won't be halted because of that. Your name is Lilly, right? You're so adorable!” Lilly nodded, “Yes, you're adorable too, Miss!” Stacy bashfully covered her face, saying, “Really? Oh, I'm embarrassed.” Josh and the others were silent.
Hmm... So Uncle Max is fond of this kind of thing.
Stacy led Lilly to a room and spoke sweetly, “The master usually lives alone, so the space is a bit smaller, 2000 square feet should be enough. It might feel more cramped since you're all here. Please bear with us!” Hmm...
Josh thought to himself...
Isn't this supposed to be 2000 square feet? It looks like it's 3000 square feet though.
Blake pondered...
This virtual assistant should be in Versailles, but there’s no evidence.
After all, they lived in Crawford Mansion, which spanned several hundred acres.
As Stacy approached the room, the door clicked and opened on both sides, resembling an airlock chamber.
The lighting inside seemed to be temporarily designed and controlled.
When the lights turned on, the pink princess bed immediately caught Lilly’s eye. The room’s layout was dreamlike, with butterflies and petals seemingly flying around.
Lilly exclaimed, “Wow! It looks amazing!” Her eyes gleamed with awe.
It felt like being in a princess's garden. Although it was not an actual garden, the play of light and shadow created that atmosphere.
Lilly loved it! Stacy smiled joyfully, “'m so glad that you love it, Lilly! Now, please follow me to your room, Mr. MacNeil!” Blake interjected, “I'm not in a hurry. You can bring the children to their rooms first.” Josh was already getting excited.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis is so cool! “Where's my room?” he asked impatiently.
Stacy led Josh and said, “Please follow me.” With a click, the door opened upward. Just by looking at it, it resembled something out of a sci-fi movie. Stepping through the door, they could see a vast starry sky outside the window, as if they were in space.
Of course, it was a world constructed with light and shadows.
Josh could not contain his excitement and threw himself onto the bed. The bed resembled an astronaut’s sleeping pod. The design was truly remarkable! Hannah also grew eager with anticipation, while Drake remained expressionless, finding it amusing that everyone was so excited about a room.
Stacy then brought Hannah, Zachary, and Drake to their respective rooms.
Each of their rooms had a unique design. Despite being done in a hurry, the house was embedded with panels that exuded a technological feel. With well-designed programs, the desired effects could be achieved.
Hannah’s room had a soothing powder blue color scheme, and the “window” portrayed a serene beach scene.
Zachary’s room showcased a punk style, with edgy decorations and bold colors.
Drake's room recreated the ambiance of Scholars’ Bookstore.
The children eagerly followed along, and with each door that opened, it felt like stepping into a whole new world! “Now it's Daddy’s turn!” Lilly exclaimed, full of anticipation. “l wonder what Daddy’s room will be like.” Josh joked, “A battlefield, perhaps?” Blake’s mouth twitched at the suggestion. “No, thank you!” Hannah pondered for a moment before suggesting, “Maybe it will be filled with various frying pans.” Blake was speechless.
Stacy smiled sweetly and said, “Here we are, please come in.” The door opened conventionally.
Inside, there was a high-quality bed, and the curtains automatically opened...
Apart from that, there was nothing remarkable.
It was just an ordinary room.
Blake raised an eyebrow, asking, “Are you sure you've prepared a room for me?” Stacy replied, “Well, the master mentioned that Mr. MacNeil doesn't prefer extravagant things!” Blake was silent.
