Upon seeing her enter, Charles felt that if he did not go in, he was not manly enough. After taking a deep breath, he shivered and followed Sonia into the old manor. As the old manor had not been inhabited for a long time, it was completely covered with cobwebs and dust while looking exactly like a haunted mansion in movies. Thus, it was no wonder that he had wondered about ghosts.

It was after Sonia wiped a handful of dust off the table that she thought of something.

"Baby." His voice sounded behind her.

She patted the dust off her hands, then asked, "What's wrong?"

"Where are your grandfather's notes?" He was holding a broom that he found from somewhere and waved it while asking.

While pointing in the direction of the study, she answered, "It's over there, but it's way too dirty here. Let's clean this place up first before searching for the notes later."

"Yeah, we should do some cleaning; otherwise, there's no way to stay here tonight." Charles nodded in agreement.

Thus, Sonia opened her suitcase and took out from it a few towels that she brought. "Let's get started then."

"Okay, you wipe the tables and chairs while I’ll remove the cobwebs and sweep the floor," he said as he stopped waving the broom.

"Sounds like a plan," she concurred. "I'll go to the well to get some water."
