Chapter 37
“Who’s there?” A deep, pleasant voice cut through the rain.
“Mommy, that voice!” Sarah lit up and ran over to the person.

“Sarah, slow down!” Natalie went after her daughter and ran toward the yard.
“Luc, it really is you!” Sarah exclaimed and hugged Lucian’s leg in excitement.
Lucian held the umbrella in his hand over Sarah’s head, shielding her from the rain.
“Why are you here?” she asked curiously.
“I live here.” With the flashlight, Lucian illuminated the path Natalie would take to reach them.
In the darkness of the night, Natalie was holding a small floral umbrella. The wind was cold, and it could easily chill her to
the bone.
Natalie followed the light. Even though the yard was overgrown with weeds, she didn’t trip and fall.
“Lucian.” Natalie was quite surprised by his appearance.
“It’s getting late. Why are you two still out and about?” Lucian asked.
“Mommy and I are living here from now on. Mommy and Daddy got divorced, so we won’t go back to that place,” Sarah
answered.
“Sarah…” Natalie tried to stop Sarah, but it was too late.
“Can anyone actually live here?” Lucian gestured at the mess around them.
“Daddy and Grandma must have sent someone to move all the things away. There aren’t even lights in the house, so we can’t stay here tonight. Mommy and I are going to Carmen’s place for the night…” Sarah’s nose felt stuffy, and she sneezed in
discomfort.
“Are you cold?” Lucian asked. He lifted Sarah off the ground.
“Yes, it’s so cold. Even my down jacket got all wet.” Sarah rubbed her own nose. “I’m really hungry, too.”
“You can get something to eat at my place,” Lucian said to Sarah affectionately.
“It’s okay,” Natalie hastily declined. “We’re going to Carmen’s place, Sarah, let’s go.”
It was too late at night. It wouldn’t be right for her and Sarah to stay the night at Lucian’s place.
If she hadn’t divorced Rowan, they would still be considered in-laws, so it would be fine. But now, it just didn’t feel right.
“Luc, maybe… I can go to your place next time.” Sarah could do nothing but obey her mother.
Just then, a puppy’s barks could be heard from the villa next door.
“Is that a puppy barking? Is it the puppy we took in last time?” Sarah asked, elated.
“Yes, it lives here. Do you want to pay it a visit?” Lucian asked.
“Yes.” Sarah looked at Natalie. “Mommy, can I visit the puppy?”
Natalie knew her daughter loved animals. Rowan wouldn’t let Sarah keep pets, so now that Natalie had divorced Rowan, it would be too harsh on Sarah if Natalie opposed the idea as well.
“I guess we can go take a look.” Natalie didn’t want to let her daughter down.
“Thank you, Mommy!” Sarah wrapped her arms around Lucian’s neck as she said sweetly, “Thank you, Luc.”

With the flashlight in his hand, Lucian illuminated the way for them. After making it past a collapsed wall, they arrived at the two-story villa next door.
Compared to the small single-story villa Natalie got from Rowan, Lucian’s place was much grander.
“What happened to the wall?” Natalie asked casually when they were crossing the collapsed wall between the two villas.
