The large bedroom was cleaned spotless, which made the whole room empty and deserted.
There was still a lot of Darlene's stuff in the bedroom. Her clothes, toiletries, and some of the things she used to paint with were intact.
They had never been moved. The servants cleaned her bedroom every day, but they never dared to touch her things.
At a glance, it looked like she still lived here.
There were still her skincare products on the dressing table, her toothbrush and towels in the bathroom, and her clothes and shoes in the cloakroom.
When Darlene divorced Avery and left with Gustave, she took none of them away with her.
She hated the place genuinely, so, as soon as the divorce was finalized, she couldn't wait to leave and never wanted to come back.
And since these things had been in Avery's bedroom in Southwood Villa forever, she hated them, too.
