Nicholas explained, “My grandparents used to live here. They got married and my dad was born in this house.”

“Even though they became wealthy later on, Grandma was nostalgic about this place. She believed it held the memories of her and Grandpa’s lives, so she cherished it deeply. That’s why the old house has been preserved without any renovations.”

“When Grandma was alive, we would come here for a holiday every year. After she passed away, we didn’t visit as often because we were worried that Grandpa would be overwhelmed with grief. However, we still came a few times.”
