Chapter 150
Renee noticed that the iron fence had been knocked down, and in one spot, the tall grass had been trodden on, with footprints in the wet mud.
It was obvious that someone had come to the house before. The footprints, however, indicated that they went in but never
came out.
There was a high possibility that the person was still inside!
Behind her, the man from the moving company put down her baggage and wiped his sweat nervously. “Miss, I’ve put all your stuff here. I’m not going in there. A word of advice, get out of here as soon as possible when you can.”
Renee turned around to look at the man and asked worriedly, “Do you know what’s wrong with the house? Everyone seems to be saying there’s something wrong with it.”
The man gulped nervously and stole a glance at the house. “Haven’t you heard? The couple who owned the house ended their lives there. Their ghosts are trapped there, and the house has become haunted!”
“I know the owners passed away, but I believe it’s nothing more than a rumor. There’s no evidence it’s haunted.”
“No! It’s definitely not just a rumor!”
The man shook his hand and said without hesitation, “A lot of people have seen it before. I came to deliver a package around here before and saw it too! The mistress of the house walks around the window, crying in a white dress. It’s so scary! If it weren’t for the fact that I needed the money, I would never have come here with you.”
After he finished speaking, he began to tremble. Then, he ran back to his car immediately and waved goodbye to Renee. “I’m leaving now. Be careful. Don’t give me a bad rating!”
Renee was unshaken by the man’s jitteriness. She was, in fact, hoping to see this woman in white that appeared in the middle of the night.
For now, though, she needed to figure out the identity of the mystery person hiding in her house.
Renee took out a baseball bat from her bag, pushed the gate open, and walked in.
Every corner of the house carried memories of her past, and it quickly brought her to tears.
She loved the garden the most. It used to be filled with sunflowers, and in the middle, stood a swing that her father had built
for her.
The swing was still there, but the sunflowers were no more.
She walked past the garden and pushed the doors open. It was then that she heard a ‘boom,‘ before rainbow confetti rained down on her.
“Surprise!”
Just as Renee was about to swing the bat, she saw Liam holding a bouquet in his hand, while Leia walked out from the corner with a cake.
“Renee, congratulations on leaving that scum, Stefan. Your life will only get better from here!”
It was unusual to see Liam so serious about a change. When he handed the flowers to Renee, his face was filled with sincerity; the uninitiated would have assumed he was proposing to her.
He had bought her sunflowers, which were her favorite.
The golden and shining petals would only grow bigger in the sun, symbolizing a strong drive to live.
Leia didn’t want to lose either, as if it was a competition. She immediately presented the cake. “Ren, I made this cake for you. It’ll bring you luck and chase away the bad from your life!”
Renee was surprised and overwhelmed that tears began to pool around her eyes.
She glanced around the room and noticed that there were no spider webs or dust inside the house. The house was spotless, and there was a pleasant aroma in the air. Everything had obviously been well–cleaned.
“You guys are too considerate. You had a surprise prepared and even cleaned the house. I have to cook today as a thanks for your efforts!”
Liam didn’t say a word, but Leia was excited. “Ren, you got it wrong. We are not that hard–working, especially my brother. We’re not the ones who cleaned the house.”
“Then who?”
Leia mysteriously looked upstairs and said, “Come out.”
