Vish stood next to me. But he didn't go inside the gate so I turned to him around.

"Whose house is that?" I asked while not taking my eyes off the dark house.

"Kiel owned this."

I quickly turned to him. "Really?" I can't believe it.

He nodded. "No one has lived in that house since he died."

"How did Liah feel about it? Kiel used to live right next to where she's staying now."

"She never said a thing. She never mentioned anything about it. Perhaps, she's trying to move on from him," she said. I nodded. "Let's just get inside."

He entered first carrying the food we bought. I followed him.

The old lady greeted us. "Good evening, sir," he turned to me. "Good evening to you too, ma'am."

"Good evening too," I replied with a smile.

The lady took Vish's bag. "Miss Liah is upstairs. The child is being put to sleep. She'll be down after five minutes, she told the maid,"
