But inside Ivy's base, it was calm, cool, and safe… almost like the paradise the world had once been.
"Ivy is truly a visionary," Talia whispered, unable to hide her awe. "She got into this base before anyone else. She's so smart."
Silas chuckled. He wanted to brag and tell her that Ivy had built the entire base with her own hands, but he held back, deciding to remain silent until his wife let him tell the truth to others.
Instead, he simply guided Talia inside.
When she entered the living area, she noticed a man sitting on the sofa, his posture elegant and relaxed. He had striking purple eyes, so captivating that Talia involuntarily stared for a moment before she regained her composure.
"Bro?" she asked quietly.
Silas glanced at the man and said, "This is Kael. Ivy's brother."
Talia blinked in surprise. "Brother?"
Silas nodded. "Before Ivy was adopted by the Ravencroft family, she had a real family. Later, she found them again. Kael is her biological brother."
