145. A Territory of Her Own

Carlos stepped inside after Elena.

"Nothing has changed, huh?" He spoke in relief.

"Not much time has passed," she spoke and looked back. "This house will always stay the same for you, no matter when you want to come back." She continued with a warm smile.

Carlos nodded and kept walking, he kept his dirty shoes in the shoe rack near the door and put on his slippers.

Nothing major had changed in the house except for Carlos himself.

Elena turned around and looked at him properly.

She had looked at him in the office too, but she had been holding herself back there. Arthur was watching. Evelyn was watching. There had been too many people in that room.

Now there was nobody else.

Elena stepped forward and placed both her hands on his face.

And at that moment, her poker face finally broke and tears fell from her face. Carlos couldn't hold himself back too and smiled in happiness. He was able to come back safely to her.
