Upon seeing her enter, Charles felt that if he did not go in, he was not manly enough. After taking a deep breath, he shivered and followed Sonia into the old manor. As the old manor had not been inhabited for a long time, it was completely covered with cobwebs and dust while looking exactly like a haunted mansion in movies.

It was after Sonia wiped a handful of dust off the table that she thought of something.

“Baby.” His voice sounded behind her.

An album of this condition would require more than 6 years for time to inflict its damage, so it didn’t make sense that her grandfather would place it in the drawer within the last couple of years.
