The lawyer
The lawyer had provided no explanation as to why Elly had moved out of the house, only why she wanted to give it to him. At the time, Steven hadn’t thought to question it and simply accepted the offer gratefully.
Initially, he assumed Elly might have wanted to mend the bond between him and his parents, and that was why he had to show up. Uncertain but curious, Steven decided to travel to the house the very next day.
