Chapter 730 An Uninvited Guest

Emelie replied, "Yes, most of the original furnishings have been preserved. Some were too damaged due to bad workmanship and can't be restored, so I had replicas made to match the old style." Wesley's voice deepened slightly. "That wasn't necessary. Things change, and that's okay. Holding onto the past can be painful." Emelie disagreed, thinking that he was cold and heartless. As she cooked, she said, "I see it differently. I never knew my parents, be it their temper, personality, or appearance. I can only learn about them from other people. "Even so, what I hear is only a fraction of who they were. No matter how much they praised my parents, I couldn't relate." "But this house holds echoes of their lives. Sometimes, when I touch a worn spot on the wall or a chipped piece of furniture, I feel a connection to them. That's why preserving these things is important to me." Wesley stood in his spot and listened quietly, then simply replied, "Hmm." He was unusually quiet tonight.
