Charlie nodded and said, “That’s good. I was not in Aurous Hill during this period of time, but I probably will not be going anywhere soon. Please feel free to contact me if you need help with anything in Aurous Hill.”
“Okay!” Helen was not overly polite and agreed with a smile. She then invited Charlie into the house.
Charlie could not help but feel nostalgic as he entered the house.
When his parents had rented this mansion back then, they had also restored it carefully, and it looked the same as it was now. Although it still looked very rustic, it gave people a refreshing feeling.
After twenty years of idleness, this mansion was once dilapidated, but after Helen’s careful restoration, it seemed as if everything had been restored to the state it was in twenty years ago.
For a certain moment, Charlie even felt as if he had gone back to the time when he was just seven or eight years old when his parents had just settled down in Aurous Hill. The family of three had lived an ordinary life here, but they were full of happiness.
Helen saw that Charlie looked a little lost in his thoughts as he looked around, so she intentionally did not say anything so that she could let Charlie take a good look around and reminisce on the past.
After a long time, Charlie recovered his thoughts before he almost burst into tears. He held back his tears and said to Helen with a smile, “Aunt Helen, you must have gone through a lot of trouble to clean up and restore this mansion, right?”
Helen nodded, then smiled and said, “It took me a lot of effort, but I also enjoyed it.”
After saying that, Helen pointed at a rustic set of old-fashioned leather sofas and said to Charlie, “Sit down and rest for a while!”
