Atlas escorted me back to the master bedroom upstairs while softly saying, "Though it's not our original home, this is my own place. Welcome home, honey.”
Honestly, I was deeply touched like never before at that moment.
I belonged here, yet I hadn’t been around for so many years. Now, I had finally returned, and I was determined to reclaim what was rightfully mine.
For some reason, I was really looking forward to seeing Celine again tomorrow.
Atlas stayed with me as I finished washing up, and we fell asleep in each other's arms. I felt no sense of unfamiliarity here at all.
The next day, as I woke up, the sound of gentle rain greeted my ears.
I touched the space beside me, finding it empty and the bed already cold.
When did he leave? I had slept so deeply that I had no idea.
After getting up and freshening up, I changed into a comfortable long dress I had brought with me and walked out of the room quietly.
We had arrived too late last night to see the surroundings clearly, but even though it was raining now, the view outside was crystal clear.
The scenery outside was delightful. It seemed to be an estate with flowers blooming in the yard.
I descended the stairs to find that the hall was quiet. The size of this house was much smaller than Pleca Park.
When I reached the ground floor, Sandy was coming in from outside. She looked up and saw me, asking with joy, "Ms. Stella, did you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah," I replied softly, and asked, "Sandy, where's Atlas?"
After last night, we had become quite familiar with each other.
"He went out, but he'll be back soon. Are you hungry?" She asked briskly while heading toward the dining room.
I followed behind her into the kitchen, asking, "What time did he leave?"

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
