Mr. Sterling raised an eyebrow slightly, unfazed by Henry's reaction. "I thought you already knew, Mr. Wildblood. The ownership documents have been legal for four months now." He then turned his gaze to Celine, who remained sitting motionless with a vacant stare. "What do you say, Mrs. Celine? Do you still stand by your initial decision to refuse the house?"
Celine did not answer immediately. Her thoughts were suddenly in chaos. That house was not just a building. It was the only remaining physical memory of her parents, the place where she grew up before everything fell apart. Knowing Leo had bought it back for her created a new hole in her empty heart.
