A few hours later~
The click of the switch reverberated in the silent, dark room before it was bathed in light, and Alex sighed as he entered the space that had been vacant for years.
Since their house had burned down and was still under reconstruction, Alex came here instead of returning to his own home, seeking peace.
He didn't want to encounter the pity in people's eyes for him.
A slight smile touched his lips as he stepped into Rennie's room at Millicent's Residence, which she had used before their marriage.
'So this is what her room looked like...'
Decorated in a monochrome palette of black and grey, the room was devoid of unnecessary furniture.
A simple bed, two bedside tables, a sofa with a coffee table, a large mirror atop a dressing table for her makeup, and a cloakroom likely filled with expensive attire.
A vast balcony featured a hanging swing and a few small plants for decoration.
