Chapter 457 Returning to the Walker Residence - Part 2

• Sarah stepped into the house, taking in the familiar scent of polished wood and fresh paint. Joshua had done his best to recreate the Walker Residence as it had been over ten years prior, but it wasn't the same. The essence of her childhood home was gone, replaced by something that only resembled it on the surface.
• The one thing that had remained the same was the rosewood staircase. Its sturdy frame and gleaming handrail felt like a connection to the past, grounding her in a sea of memories. She ran her hand along the railing as she made her way to the second floor, her footsteps echoing in the quiet.
• At the top of the stairs, her parents' old bedroom was on the left, Sebastian's room on the right, and hers just down the hall. She hesitated for a moment before pushing open Sebastian's door. Her eyes immediately went to the wall of photos, and she found herself drawn to the large family portrait at the center.
