SWNOVELXO Chapter 635: The Ultimate Bachelor Pad
Villain Ch 635. The Ultimate Bachelor Pad
"C-Condoms?" Emma suddenly stammered, her voice breaking through the laughter-filled air.
The room fell silent, and all eyes turned toward Emma. Her shock was palpable, written all over her face. She glanced at Allen, uncertainty clouding her expression. "Does it mean…" Her words trailed off, hanging in the air with a mix of curiosity and realization.
Allen, attempting to diffuse the tension with a sheepish smile, nodded. "Uh, yeah. We're already at that stage," he admitted.
His father probably already knew about it, and so did Alex. That was evident from how Jordan had arranged the accommodations in his room. An Alaskan king-size bed dominated Allen's room, a choice that spoke volumes about his father's anticipation of the dynamics within the Goldborne residence.
The mere fact that an extra king-size bed in Allen's room hinted at Jordan's foresight—he foresaw a future filled with guests who were not inclined to sleep separately from Allen.
The mansion, adorned with numerous guest rooms, suggested that Jordan was accustomed to hosting various individuals. However, the provision of an additional king-size bed was a distinctive touch, tailored to Allen's unique circumstances.
While normal guests might prefer the privacy of the guest rooms scattered throughout the mansion, Jordan seemed to have an inkling that Allen's guests might have a different preference. A subtle understanding that Allen's relationships with his guests were not of the conventional kind.

Yet, Emma, apparently, remained oblivious to this underlying subtlety. The notion that Allen and the girls were simply ordinary gaming companions, their connections confined to the game. The revelation about the condoms had exposed a gap in Emma's understanding.
"I-I see…" Emma stammered, her voice trailing off into an uneasy silence. She pressed her lips together, absorbing the unexpected revelation about Allen's intimate relationships.
Emma hadn't anticipated this level of closeness or the romantic entanglements Allen had found himself in. The revelation shed light on why the girls were always in his orbit, a reality that existed even before Allen's awareness of his Goldborne lineage. The newfound knowledge left her grappling with a mixture of surprise and comprehension.
Even though Emma might not be entirely comfortable with the idea of romantic involvement between Allen and the girls, she understood the magnetic pull he seemed to exert. It was a unique charisma that allowed Allen to traverse the spectrum from a mischievous bad boy to a boyfriend material kind of guy seamlessly. The peculiar charm that surrounded Allen was something not easily dismissed.
Emma, recognizing this peculiar quality, couldn't deny that under different circumstances, if Allen weren't her brother, she might find herself captivated by his enigmatic charm. It was a sentiment not many could resist, and Emma was no exception. She grappled with the complexity of her feelings and it was an undeniable acknowledgment of Allen's allure.
Seeing Emma's evident awkwardness, Shea took the initiative to break the tension. "We might crash here overnight once in a while. Don't worry, we'll make sure not to disturb your beauty sleep," she reassured Emma with a warm smile, attempting to ease any concerns she might have had.
However, Bella couldn't resist stirring the pot a bit. "Unless, of course, Allen decides to get a bit rowdy. Then it might get a tad noisy," she added with an innocent grin, punctuating her comment with a mischievous wink aimed directly at Emma.
Alice shot Bella a disapproving side-eye. "The room is soundproof, Bella. Alex mentioned it earlier. Have you forgotten already?" she chimed in with a touch of sarcasm. The comment, seemingly a result of meticulous planning on Jordan's part, reassured the group that their presence wouldn't disrupt the mansion's tranquility.
Vivian chimed in, trying to dispel any lingering concerns. "And don't worry, the windows are all decked out with privacy window film. No one's peeking into this room, that's for sure. Even from the garden," she reassured with a cringe. A nervous smile played on her lips, acknowledging the dual purpose of the privacy feature.
While Alex had sold it as a means to ensure Allen's personal space, Vivian and the girls couldn't help but acknowledge that it conveniently served other 'purposes' too.
The meticulous considerations of both Alex and Jordan for Allen's lifestyle and relationships were not lost on them. The room, carefully designed to safeguard Allen's privacy, inadvertently became a haven for more than just quiet retreats. Vivian's cringe hinted at the unspoken acknowledgment of the room's potential for fostering intimacy.
Allen's disbelief was evident in his wide-eyed stare at the girls. "Are you guys messing with me right now?" he questioned, an awkward smile tugging at the corners of his lips. The revelation of the extra bed had already pushed the boundaries of his expectations, and now, this revelation took things to a whole new level.
Larissa stepped in to offer some clarification. "No joke, Allen. We'll fill you in on the details after we're done with the presents. You know, to spare you from too much awkwardness," she explained. While Larissa acknowledged that the arrangements might seem a bit unconventional, she added a positive spin. "It's actually a good thing, and your dad genuinely cares about your comfort.
It's just... a little out of the ordinary," she admitted with a grin.
Recalling an earlier conversation, Larissa mentioned, "Alex also mentioned that Jordan wasn't initially on board with the idea of having snacks and food in the room. But he decided to go for it, providing a mini bar for snacks and drinks just in case your guests 'stay over'.
It's to avoid any awkward moments if hunger strikes in the middle of the night and we can't call for a servant," she elaborated.
Allen, still processing the revelations, raised an eyebrow. "So, my dad basically set up the ultimate bachelor pad for me without telling me?" he asked, a mix of amusement and disbelief in his voice.
Larissa chuckled. "Seems that way. But hey, it's all in good intentions, right?" she replied with a playful grin. The girls exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the uniqueness of their situation and the considerate planning that went into Allen's living space.
