Ceaser was confused. “The owner of the house?”

“I own the house…” she said “…now at least.” she murmured.

“Who owned it previously?” he asked, praying silently that she would give him a name and he’d be on his way in search of the previous owners.

“I’m sorry for my bad manners. Do you want to come in?” She smiled at him.

The change in her expression was so fast that he felt like he stumbled in.

Ceaser entered and waited for her to shut the door behind her then she led him into the living room which he could see from entrance.

They entered the living room and Ceaser saw some toys at the corner and a duster on the table.

If she knew who he was, she was likely to either fall to his feet or not give him the time of the day. And from the little taste of what he had gotten from her the previous night, he was sure it would be the latter.

It was hard to believe a woman like her still existed in the world, women who didn’t care about money and status as most of them did. She was different, she was good, kind and uninterested
