Atlas and I didn't hurry to work the following day because we needed to move to Pleca Park. Molly and my mom had already packed the daily necessities. However, we didn't need to bring much since Atlas had prepared everything there.

When I told her and Ava we were going to a new home, Ava stared atin surprise. She asked, "Do we have a new home?" I nodded. "Yes, we do. It's Uncle Atlas's home." Atlas quickly corrected, "It's our new home." Ava asked, “Is it where you and Mommy will stay after getting married?” "Is it?" Atlas asked as if that was indeed the reason. I felt embarrassed as I stole a glance at my seemingly indifferent dad. It lightened my heart to see that.
I knew my parents' impression of Atlas changed after he brought Ava back from the kidnappers. My mom and dad were no longer as hesitant about my and Atlas's relationship, especially after seeing how dependent Ava was on him.
Whenever Atlas had time, he would accompany my dad for tea and a chat. Their shared interests increased by the day. I was sure my dad was already considering how to plant his trees and cultivate a vegetable garden in the new yard.
Ava grew excited when she heard Atlas's question. "Yay! Then I'll have a dad again!” She then proudly told Jenny, "I'll have a dad soon!" I knew Ava had always wanted a dad, but it had somehow becan impossible thing for her.

Atlas smiled as he drove, feigning mystery as he said, "It's a secret. You'll find out soon." His words made the little ones curious. Even my parents seemed eager to know what the new house looked like. Meanwhile, Molly looked calm. It seemed she had been there before.
When the car entered Pleca Park's private road, Ava exclaimed as she marveled at the gorgeous scenery. She said it resembled a forest park. However, she fell silent when the car drove through the gate. I noticed her looking at the castle-like house with her mouth agape.
The housekeepers gathered at the gate. When the car door opened, Ava turned toand asked, "Mommy, is this a park or a house?" Even my parents were in awe of the place. They exited the car and looked at the endless lawn, the various landscapes, and the lmagnificent main house. Then they looked atand asked, "Is this the place?" I didn't know how to answer them, so Atlas said, "Yep, this is it. It'll becour hsoon with you guys around. Otherwise, I rarely chere." "Wow, Uncle Atlas! Your house looks like Elsa's castle!" Ava skipped over to Atlas and looked up at him admiringly.
Atlas smiled, bent down, and lifted her. He looked at her rosy face and said, “This is your future home. You're the princess of this castle, Princess Ava." She laughed triumphantly.
Soon after, Atlas had someone take the luggage and arrange our rooms. Then, someone took my parents on a tour of Pleca Park. Before they could settle in, Trinity called.
