The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 19

Natalie cast a skeptical look at the realtor and pulled Sebastian closer to her side.

“How is that possible? Is he a fraud?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask the realtor.” Sebastian looked at the realtor.

“That’s true.Mrs.Klein, your husband inquired about the situation.The owner of the house is desperate to rent out the house, so he is willing to lower the rent.”

The realtor wiped the sweat on his forehead.

The man wasn’t a realtor but was pretending to be one under Sebastian’s orders.

He hoped that Natalie would be dumb enough to believe him If he made any mistakes and Natalie suspected him, he would lose his job.

“Okay, thank you. Do you mind if we looked around the house one more time?”

Although Natalie sounded polite, she had become vigilant.

She walked into the rooms and carefully inspected them.

Leaning against the door, Sebastian saw her looking around the house and rummaging through the cabinets and drawers.

“What are you doing? he asked in a hushed voice.

Natalie was still worried, so she even checked under the beds.

Then, she parted the dust on her dress and stood up.

“Something seems fishy.The rent of a house like this can’t be this cheap.Perhaps this house is haunted, or someone has died here.We have to check it properly.” Sebastian was speechless.

He stepped closer to her and gently wiped the dust on her face.

“There is dust on your face.”

He dusted his dirty fingers and frowned.

“You are overthinking.Perhaps the landlord is having a financial crisis.”

The apartment was Sebastian’s property.He knew his house well.

Natalie’s skin prickled as his touch left a burning trail on her cheek.

She quickly wiped her face and turned around.

“You’re too naive.I feel something is wrong with the house.Otherwise, they wouldn’t rent it at such a cheap rate.And if that’s the case, I have to go and bargain with the realtor.”

She rolled up her sleeves and trotted to the living room.

“One hundred bucks.What do you say?”

‘What? One hundred bucks a month for an apparent like this? That’s unbelievable.

The man looked dumbfounded.

However, the apartment didn’t belong to him, so he couldn’t finalize the rent.

“Mrs.Klein, I’m actually surprised to hear your offer.However, this house isn’t mine.I need to check it with the landlord of the house.”

He walked out of the room with his phone on the pretext of making a phone call.

Taking the opportunity, he winked at Sebastian to ask for his opinion.

Sebastian understood his gesture and agreed without hesitation.

Natalie was a little nervous.

After all, she knew her offer was definitely unacceptable. A few minutes later, the realtor returned with a smile.

“The landlord has agreed.”

Natalie’s mouth popped open in shock.

She tried slashing the price but didn’t think the landlord would actually agree. She blinked at Sebastian.

Sebastian coughed and walked up to her.

“What’s wrong?”

“I don’t think this is an ordinary haunted house.I think something extremely terrible must have happened here before.Otherwise, why would the landlord agree to rent it at only a hundred dollars?”

Her hot breath blowing in his ear seemed to distract Sebastian.

After a moment’s hesitation, he blinked and asked, “Do you want to find another house?”
