A month had passed, and during that time Claire had lived in this simple old cottage without complaining.
Although simple, the cottage that used to look old and messy has now turned into a comfortable place, thanks to Claire's painstaking efforts to maintain it. The wooden floors are shiny, the windows are clean, and the bookshelves that used to be dusty are now neatly arranged.
Claire also looks fresher. Her white hair is clean and shiny again, her skin looks bright, and her ruby eyes radiate life that had previously faded.
Even though she is only wearing simple folk clothes with a corset that ties her waist and a sorbet on her head, Claire looks cheerful as usual.
Now, Claire is busy tidying up the books that Ethan brings every day. While she is struggling with the books, the sound of the door opening is heard. Claire immediately turns to the living room, a cheerful smile on her face.
