Eliana felt a little scared when she saw how gloomy Preston was.

“Don’t be angry. I am sorry, okay? I should not have rummaged through your stuff without permission.”

Maurice’s anger dissipated after he heard her sincere apology.

Raising her head, Eliana looked around and continued, “Is this really your house?”

“Yes, but it used to be my parents’ house.”

There was a hint of nostalgic look in his eyes, which revealed his soft side.

The elders of his parents’ families had not approved of their marriage, so they had eloped and had lived in that house for a few years. Only after Maurice’s sister was born had his grandfather brought them back.

And the days that Maurice had spent in his parents’ house was the happiest time of his life.

Eliana rarely ever heard about his family, and she knew nothing about them, except for the fact that his mother had passed away.

“What about your other family members? And this girl, is she your younger sister?”

Eliana’s eyes were gleaming with curiosity as she pointed at the photo.

Maurice kept silent for a long time, and just when she was convinced that he was not going to answer her, he said, “They are all gone.”
