It had been a long journey, and they finally arrived at their destination at noon.

The former residence of Nicholas’ grandparents was situated in a small town in Southlake. It was a bustling and well-populated town, filled with vibrant signs of life. Nancy felt a surge of warmth and familiarity.

Their first stop was the old couple’s residence. As they stood outside the house, Nancy was taken aback. by what she saw.

The old house, made of bricks, perfectly matched the quaint town. It was a simple structure that appeared to have been built decades ago, showing signs of wear and tear.

Nicholas explained, “My grandparents used to live here. They got married and my dad was born in this house.”

“Even though they became wealthy later on, Grandma was nostalgic about this place. She believed it held the memories of her and Grandpa’s lives, so she cherished it deeply. That’s why the old house has been preserved without any renovations.”

“When Grandma was alive, we would come here for a holiday every year. After she passed away, we didn’t visit as often because we were worried that Grandpa would be overwhelmed with grief. However, we still came a few times.”

Nancy took a step forward.

She had never met his grandmother.

She had never even seen a photograph of his grandmother.
