After the servant left, Renee quietly walked to the door and knocked on it. Sighing softly, she whispered, "Quinton."
It was as if her voice held some kind of enchantment. Quinton, who was initially dispirited, instantly reacted. Quinton quickly opened the door and looked at Renee with bright eyes. "Renee, you're finally home! I would have gone mad if you took any longer."
Quinton's voice was weak because he hadn't eaten or drank anything for a few days, and his face was full of stubble too. Although his mask hid more than half of his face, his downcast expression could still be seen.
Renee frowned at him. "What's the matter with you? They said you locked yourself up in your room and haven't been eating or drinking."
"Don't listen to their crap. I was just annoyed and looked forward to your return. I didn't care about anyone else." Quinton's lips curved into a grin.
"Is… Is that so?" Renee forced a smile onto her face. At first, she wanted to interrogate him, but she could not bring herself to do it when she saw him. He was her brother, after all, and they were bound by blood. Besides, he'd been dealt a bad hand by destiny. When she recalled his vastly different childhood, she felt very sorry for him. She knew he was wrong, but that was just a result of the circumstances.
"I'm glad you're home. I got you a surprise… Come. Let me show you," Quinton said mysteriously. He quickly changed his clothes and shaved his stubble, and soon looked like a noble gentleman. He then enthusiastically led Renee to the surprise he prepared for her.
She wanted to rebuild Everheart Manor when she returned from Sun Island, but she had faced so many other things that she had been forced to delay it. She did not expect that someone had already done it for her.
"What do you think? Doesn't it look like the previous Everheart Manor?" Quinton said proudly, "I asked Margaret about how it looked before and restored it to its previous glory. This area was originally planned to be used as a sewage treatment factory, but I spent a lot of time negotiating and finally reached an agreement with the planning bureau. This place is now ours, and we'll stay here from now on, never to be parted again… What do you think, Renee?"
When he turned around, he noticed that Renee's face was covered with tears.
