As the conversation gradually died down, everyone took out their phones to check on their snails; it could have gone out to explore or was eating or reading a book at home.

There wasn’t anything special about the game, but everyone just liked to play it.

The party went on till about 10.00PM. Sophia walked them out as she had had too much peanuts earlier, and she wanted to take a small walk to help digest the food before going back home.

After a spring rain, the air in Bayside City felt refreshing as she walked around the neighborhood. She enjoyed the cold breeze so much that she was reluctant to part with it, and she accidentally walked toward Villa No. 2.

It brought back a vivid memory of her first meeting with Linus. But now, they were worlds apart. Isn’t it saddening

Sophia couldn’t help but walk toward Villa No. 2; it was as though something was calling out to her.

Ever since Linus left, Villa No. 2 had been empty. Although Linus still owned the property, he left the keys to Sophia and cut off all ties, so the house was considered Sophia’s for the time being.

She walked back home to take the keys then headed back to Villa No. 2 and swiped the door open in the dark.

The key was actually a card that could be swiped to open the door of the villa.

When Sophia walked into the courtyard, the automatic light switch sensed that someone had walked in, and so the living room lights were automatically turned on and brightly lit up the whole villa.

 

As she walked into the quiet living room, she realized that Linus had left in such a hurry that he didn’t manage to move out all his stuff; there were cat nests neatly placed together and even some cat hair left on the cat post.

Dazed, Sophia sat on the sofa and stared at the vacant living room, allowing her mind to go blank.

Suddenly, a voice came from a corner. “Mommy—”

Startled, Sophia looked toward the source of the sound. There were a pair of round black eyes staring back at her from the dark.

Nicholas walked out from the dark and stared at Sophia with his bright, sparkling eyes.
