I did paid the family home a visit when I first came to R Province with Summer. In fact, I like to bring her there and stroll around. Although it has been largely modified, many interior items still remain.

He continued looking at me. “I only replaced what was broken. I didn’t change the rest.”

I was taken aback when I realized he bought the family home.
