Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1417

Although I had just heard Sandy's account of the mansion's history, I didn't stop him. I wanted to hear his perspective on the story.

"After my great-grandpa's business flourished, he built our family's home, and this place was abandoned. After grandma passed away, this place was transferred to someone else for a time due to financial reasons.

“Unfortunately, the buyers later fell on hard times and couldn't sell it. The mansion on the left side of this property also belonged to grandma. It was abandoned for over a decade. After stabilizing the situation, I bought it back. However, the exterior still remained in its original style."

I looked around, seeing a different scenery through the rain.

"After we eat, we'll go to the family home. It's the rainy season in Nocturnia at this time of year. You used to hate this weather when you were young."

I still disliked rainy days.

"Is the family home far from here?" I asked Atlas.

"Not really. It's on the other side of the hill," Atlas replied.

After finishing our meal, I went upstairs to change into the outfit I had prepared for this occasion.

It was still raining heavily outside, and it was a little gloomy and chilly. Atlas held an umbrella over us and embraced me as we walked out. Sandy watched us get into the car and waved goodbye.

Although I maintained a calm demeanor, I was actually quite nervous.

I was feeling some complex emotions.

Atlas sensed my feelings and gently held my hand, offering me an invisible source of strength.

"I'm here, don't worry," Atlas reassured me softly.

"Okay," I replied.

After about 40 minutes of driving, we arrived at a mansion halfway up the hill. It was quite high up and offered a view of a part of the city below. The air up here was fresh too.

Atlas held an umbrella above me as I got out of the car. He led me to the tightly closed gate and pressed the doorbell.
