Sheldon was stunned.
Living together with Preslie was like so long ago.
He didn't expect her to say that she had left something at the place they once stayed together.
When she heard no response from him, she said, "Mr. Hawls, are you there?
Only then did he come to his senses.
He immediately said, "Yes, I'm here. Just tell me what you left behind, and I'll help you find it."
She was speechless.
He shut her up with his words.
She didn't leave anything behind; it was just an excuse she came up with.
She coughed and said, "I don't think you should do it for me. I can drop by and look for it myself."
"Then I'll come and pick you up right away," Sheldon said, "Where are you?"
Twenty minutes after Preslie gave the address, he arrived at where she was.
He took her to the home they once shared.
Preslie was only finding an excuse to see Sheldon, so she didn't expect the emotions she would have to return to this place.
The scene of the past appeared in her mind.
Her heart was filled with emotions.
This was where they used to live.
At that time, she was still working in the Quartley Palace.
After work, she would come back to cook for him.
Remembering it now gave her warmth and happiness.
She was happy living with Yesseca and Ruth.
But life with Sheldon was a completely different experience.
While thinking about it, she pretended to look around for something.
She didn't find anything but noticed the house was much dirtier.
Dirt and dust were everywhere, and some items were misplaced.
Preslie couldn't help but say casually, "You rarely clean up, huh? It's such a mess in here."
Sheldon gave a wry smile and said, "Yes, I always stay late at Quartley Palace, so I really don't have time to clean up."
