"I slept better than ever." He sounded like he was in good spirits, and I smiled with relief.
"That was the best sleep I've had in years. I finally feel relieved since I've settled my life's work with Louis for our children. And Atlas truly lives up to his father's expectations." His eyes gleamed.

His expression turned serious, and he sighed. "It's still at the old house." "You mean the old house in Nocturnia where we used to live together? But as far as I know, Celine owns that place." "Yes." He looked regretful. "I couldn't think of a safer place to keep the keys back then. I didn't think our hwould be lost to someone else one day." My heart sank.
