I hope I didn’t disturb your rest," the woman greeted her with a welcoming smile."Good morning," Bella replied, a bit confused by the new person, and still adjusting to being addressed as "Mrs. Carter." She felt a mix of appreciation for the smile and a subtle hint of being out of place.The woman continued, "My name is Maria, and I'm here to take care of the penthouse, groceries, and occasionally cook. Let me know what you'd like for breakfast.""Thank you, but I’m fine for now.

As you already know, Reid whisked me away to Morocco, and it was like a dream. But, you know, reality kicks in eventually."Lily nodded knowingly. "And where are you two lovebirds nesting in California?"Bella's eyes sparkled as she shared, "We're crashing in one of Reid's penthouses for now.
