Carter wore a black wool coat today, maintaining his usual cool demeanor.

As I wheeled him downstairs, he asked, "Are we going to see the marriage home today?"

I paused for a moment. The reason I had come up with this excuse was to bring up the matter of the statue, and now that the point was made. I had almost forgotten about it.

However, the reality remained: our marriage necessitated the establishment of a marital home. I couldn't keep living in this cramped space forever; it was just too inconvenient. I nodded, "Sure."

Each day since my rebirth, even though the world outside remained covered in snow and ice, my heart felt as clear as the sky on a sunny day.

I pushed him toward the dining room. The air in the estate felt heavy, especially after Chloe's funeral. It was as if a cloud had settled over the place.

Even Sheila, who had never been fond of me, wore a somewhat wistful expression. Of course, any reasonable person would find the way I had died to be quite tragic.

Jeffrey, too, looked much older in such a short time. Sing at the head of the table, he turned his head, away and coughed a few times.

I gently patted his back and handed him a glass of warm water.

At least here, Jeffrey treated me with sincerity.

I suppressed the urge to call out his name and used a more courteous tone, "Jeffrey, have some water."

"You're such a thoughtful girl. Every time I see you, I feel like I'm looking at..." His voice trailed off, and he sighed deeply. "Sit down. Let's see if this is something you'll enjoy." "Okay."

I first asked about Carter's preferences, since his tastes seemed similar to mine. I served him some grits. and salads.

Sheila turned to Anna and asked, "Was everything okay at the police station?"

"Don't worry, Mom. Luke and I just clarified what we knew. With Chloe's death being so suspicious, it makes sense that the police would want us to provide any useful clues." Just as I had thought, Anna hadn't been directly involved with this matter. Without solid evidence, the police couldn't do anything to her for now.
