Enoch ripped off a sheet of paper towel and handed it to her.

“Go ahead and do your thing.I’ll clean up over here.”

He didn’t want her to get injured due to his own carelessness.It didn’t take long for Sebastian to finish tidying things up.

The floor was absolutely spotless, and the huge windows were wide open, letting in beams of light and the refreshing afternoon breeze.

The previously messy cabinets and shelves had all been arranged neatly as well.

Wild daisies and irises adorned what was once an empty and dusty vase on the dining table.

Several potted plants popped up here and there, giving the house an artistic vibe that was edgy and refreshing at the same time.

“What do you think? It feels different, doesn’t it? The house was clean enough before, but it was dull and a little depressing.It needed some life kicked back into it.”
