Wooing My Ex-Wife

The corridor was dimly lit. With the help of the flashlight, they could vaguely see the tightly-shut doors along the way.

Nico led Gwendolyn down the corridor while Karl, the butler, followed closely behind them.

Nico walked over, about to turn the knob, when Karl suddenly stood before him to stop him from opening the door.
