Chapter 182 Desperate Ache

• For someone complaining about being famished, Andrei was in no hurry to get to the dining room. He took Holly on a tour of Pinewood Manor instead, starting with his own wing of the house. They slowly worked their way through the estate, with Andrei pointing out the various rooms and offering commentary on his extensive art collection.
• A connoisseur of fine things herself, Holly appreciated his obsession with art. For a little while, as they wandered the expansive hallways and paused to admire the various pieces, she felt like she was sitting in an art history lecture—Andrei's depth of knowledge was easily on par with Eden and Willow's.
• "Come on, there's still so much to see." He hooked his fingers through hers and led her towards the elevator, insisting stairs were a strict no-no with her banged-up knee. Had she known about it last night, Holly would have insisted on taking it instead of hobbling along after Raymond.
