    "Mr. David sold this ce after Mrs. Nancy passed away, but the buyer went bankrupt. These two courtyards were abandoned for many years, and rumors started spreading about ghosts haunting the ce. But..." Sandy shrugged.


    Then, she continued, "Mr. As doesn''t believe in that nonsense, so he bought them all back."


    "Why would people say that?" I asked.


    "Well, some malicious people wanted to stir up trouble, but it was all for the best. The properties eventually returned to Mr. As''s hands despite being abandoned for over a decade," Sandy looked proud.


    "He''s not afraid of anything supernatural. This was his grandmother''s property, after all. What''s there to be afraid of?" Sheughed contentedly. "After Mr. As took over, he renovated the ce. These courtyards are quite spacious. When the weather clears up, I''ll show you around. It''s beautiful here.


    "Mr. As used to bring you here when you two were younger. Afterward, Mr. As found me and asked me to look after this ce since it was his home. Poor boy, those years were tough for him." She choked up again.


    "He wasn''t happy during those years. I didn''t even know where he was. When I saw hime to get me...


    "I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw him again. Mr. As had grown so tall. He had be a man. But my heart ached for him because he wouldn''t smile, and he always looked cold.


    “He cried when I asked him about you. He cried like a child that day, and it broke my heart..." Sandy pounded her chest, taking deep breaths.


    I was moved too, and felt a lump in my throat as I teared up.


    "How could such despicable people exist? Why hasn''t she died yet?" Sandy vented her resentment. "She''s as venomous as a snake!


    "Since then, hees back every Christmas to tend to his parents'' graves all alone. I apany him every time.


    "Everything''s all better now that you''re back. Look at him now, he''s smiling. He''s so handsome when he smiles, isn''t he? I dare say he''s the most handsome man in the world." Sandy exaggerated, raising her hands.


    "I agree," I chimed in, and we bothughed.


    "Time for breakfast, my little


    set


    She put my breakfast on a


    tray and brought it out for me. Your children will be beautiful. We can''t let them go hungry."


    I sat down at the dining table and gestured for her to sit too.


    "Are there any other older servants from back then working in the old family home now?" I asked Sandy as I ate breakfast.


    She shook her head.


    "Is the ce still the same?" I inquired. "Is it far from here?"


    "It''s a little far, but they say it''s the same as before. It''s as luxurious as ever, but it looks cheap now


    because of those two devils Sandy


    cursed.


    She suddenly asked, "You really can''t remember anything?"


    I shook my head. "No. I don''t remember anything."


    "My poor child."


    Just then, As walked in from outside, parts of him soaked by the rain.


    I quickly stood up, wanting to wipe the rain off him. He smiled at me. "Hold on. I''ll change ande down to have breakfast with you."


    Sandy immediately got up and prepared breakfast for him.


    He came downstairs, kissed my forehead, and sat beside me. "Did you sleep well?"


    "Yeah, very well." I smiled contentedly. "It''s so beautiful here, but it''s a pity it''s raining."

    "When the rain stops, I''ll take you around


    grand yard. That was


    grandma''s dowry. The Pierce family lived here for a while after my great-grandpa''s wedding."
