Chapitre 113: Too much risk

I ran, taking the curved path through the forest around the outskirts of Winterwells, and reached my house. The moment I saw it, I took my steps back, hiding behind the tree. The house wasn't rundown anymore but completely renovated. My memory rushed back to when I had asked Channing to repair the room on the ground floor and the stairs as an apology, but here the entire house was back to new.

The upper floor had been fixed and through the open main door, I could see the stairs and everything being renovated. Did Channing do this as an apology for everything that happened during the time he had gone intimate with me?

I felt like someone else might have come to live here. But my mother had been very specific about saying that this house belonged to me, as if she had bought it for me in that broken state. She was the one who had offered this residence to me when I left the castle.
