LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 690: Rich People's Lifestyle
Villain Ch 690. Rich People's Lifestyle
The dinner progressed. The tension from earlier melted away, replaced by a more relaxed atmosphere. Emma shared some insights about Azura and their extended family, shedding light on their diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. Allen listened intently, intrigued by the glimpses into their relatives' lives.
He couldn't help but be surprised by the diversity among their family members. Some were living extravagant lifestyles, reveling in their wealth and privilege, while others had chosen a more modest path, seeking independence and freedom from the constraints of their family's reputation.
It was eye-opening for Allen to learn that not all of their relatives were living in the lap of luxury. Some had deliberately chosen to distance themselves from the spotlight, opting for a quieter existence away from the trappings of wealth and status.
As Emma continued to share insights about Azura, Allen listened attentively, intrigued by the motivations behind her decision to become a streamer. He had assumed that Azura's choice stemmed from a strained relationship with her family, much like his own experiences. However, Emma's explanations painted a different picture.
It seemed that Azura's passion for gaming was the driving force behind her career choice, rather than any familial conflicts. Despite her family's business being unrelated to the gaming industry, Azura had chosen to pursue her own path, following her interests and dreams. It was inspiring to see someone forge their own path, despite any expectations or pressures from their family or society.

It reminded him of his own journey.
Emma highlighted Azura's fascination with the competitive aspect of gaming. It wasn't about the business side for her; it was all about the thrill of battle and the adrenaline rush of dueling other players.
Azura's passion for gaming drove her to actively participate in tournaments across various games and share her gameplay through streaming. Despite the simplicity of her pursuit, it brought her immense joy and surprisingly, enough financial stability to sustain herself. It wasn't the extravagant lifestyle she was accustomed to, but it was fulfilling in its own right.
Emma also touched upon Azura's determination to maintain her independence. Despite her family's wealth, Azura refused to rely on their money and instead worked hard to support herself. She faced challenges along the way, adjusting to a more modest lifestyle, but her commitment to staying true to herself never wavered.
"Can you believe she said that's enough to cover her living expenses for a month?" Emma repeated the statement incredulously, her eyebrows raised in disbelief. She seemed fixated on the amount of money Azura earned from streaming and endorsements, unable to wrap her head around how it could sustain someone's lifestyle.
Allen couldn't help but cringe at Emma's reaction. He attempted to explain that the amount Azura earned was actually quite substantial for most people, covering necessities like food, entertainment, and even some savings. But Emma seemed to have a different perspective, believing it to be insufficient.
Their differing views on finances highlighted a stark contrast in their upbringings and lifestyles. While Emma may have grown accustomed to a more lavish lifestyle due to their family's wealth, Allen was more grounded in reality, understanding the value of money and the importance of budgeting.
Emma continued to express her disbelief, while Allen found himself struggling to bridge the gap between their perspectives. He tried to illustrate how the money Azura earned could provide a comfortable living for many people, but Emma remained unconvinced.
Meanwhile, Jordan observed the interaction with keen interest, his expression unreadable. Allen could tell that Jordan was silently analyzing Emma's reaction, perhaps considering how best to address her misconceptions about finances.
After dinner, Allen retreated to his room, feeling a bit tired but also curious about the skincare products laid out in the bathroom. He decided to opt for a quick shower instead of soaking in the bathtub since it was already approaching midnight.
Stepping into the spacious shower enclosure, Allen relished the sensation of warm water cascading over his skin, enveloping him in a comforting embrace. The showerhead emitted a gentle rainfall-like cascade, creating a serene ambiance within the enclosure.
With a turn of the sleek chrome handle, Allen adjusted the temperature to perfection, ensuring that the water was just the right balance of warmth and comfort. The steam rose around him, mingling with the soft scent of luxury bath products that filled the air.
Allen closed his eyes, letting the stresses of the day melt away with each soothing droplet. The rhythmic sound of the water provided a tranquil backdrop, transporting him to a place of serenity and relaxation.
Finished, Allen remembered Shea's enthusiastic explanations about skincare. He reached for the face serum and eye serum, intrigued by their supposed benefits. He figured he might as well give them a shot since Shea had emphasized their importance.
He applied the serums to his face and couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical. Skincare was never really his thing, but he was willing to give it a try, especially since Shea seemed so convinced of its efficacy. The serums had a pleasant scent and left his skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
Allen couldn't deny that he felt a bit pampered, even if he still wasn't entirely sold on the whole skincare routine.
Finishing up in the bathroom, Allen dried himself off and slipped into his pajamas. Putting on the black silk pajamas felt like a new experience for Allen. As an adult, it was the first time he had donned such luxurious sleepwear. He couldn't help but wonder if this was the norm for wealthy people when it came to bedtime attire. Sure, he remembered wearing similar pajamas as a child, the cotton ones.
But as a teenager and young adult, he had gravitated towards the comfort of t-shirts and sweatpants for sleeping.
Slipping into the silk pajamas, Allen found himself pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they felt against his skin. The material was soft and smooth, offering a level of luxury that he hadn't experienced in a long time. It was a stark contrast to his usual sleeping attire, but one that he found himself enjoying.
