Chapter 120 The Echo In The Hallway

• The rain had come back, gentle initially, like fingers caressing the windows of the Levi residence. Outside, the sky was heavy and dark, with clouds heavy and ready for another rainstorm. Within the mansion, exhaled whispers and shut doors, mysteries embedded in the essence of its structure.

Her blond hair was pulled back too firmly, highlighting her features, which looked more pronounced and bird-like. Her exposed feet gently made contact with the marble floor, her heels left behind at the entrance as if she had ceased to pretend.
