Chapter 75
‘President Silverman……
Seeing the gloomy look on Wayne’s face, his subordinate carefully called out.
“Get out.”
Wayne dejectedly waved his hand.
The subordinate hesitated for a moment but eventually turned and left.
For the rest of the night, Wayne couldn’t sleep.
The next day, before dawn, he drove to the graveyard.
He didn’t really know much about Rosalynn’s grandmother.
They’d never even really met before.
Not knowing what to buy as an offering, he finally decided on a bouquet of chrysanthemums.
“Sir, are you here to pay tribute to Ms. Julia? The caretaker hurried over, surprised to see Wayne.
This handsome dude with an extraordinary bearing was a new face to him.
“Yeah,” Wayne nodded. “It’s my first time here. Could you please lead the way?”
“Of course!”
The caretaker uncle was very happy
Usually, only Rosalynn came to pay respect to Julia. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
One more person came, of course he was happy.
“You must be her student, right?” The caretaker uncle asked as they walked.
“No,” Wayne paused for a moment. “I’m Rosalynn’s friend.”
“Huh?” The caretaker turned around, astonished, and looked Wayne up and down.
After pondering carefully for a moment, the caretaker asked, “You mean boyfriend, right? Where were you when her grandma was buried? Why didn’t I see you here?”
He was quite strict, his tone full of blame.
When had Wayne ever been scolded in such a way?
Even when Wayne’s great-grandfather was alive, he had never rebuked him like this.
But…
He didn’t even get angry.
“I was caught up with something…”
“What’s more important than that?” the caretaker grew angrier. “You are her boyfriend, don’t you know about her background? How could you let her bury her elder alone?”
As he spoke, his eyes reddened: “Poor girl, she was so sad that day. It was raining, and she knelt there for a whole day. When she finally got up, she could barely walk… It was heartbreaking!”
Wayne’s heart ached.
“Did no one try to pull her up after she knelt for so long?”
“She wouldn’t listen!” The caretaker wiped away his tears. “I watched her send away her mother, her grandfather, and now her grandmother… Her heart must have been so heavy, so painful…”
14.58
Wayne felt a bloody, bitter taste welling up in his throat.
In his mind, he couldn’t help but picture her frail figure, kneeling alone in the cold, her fragile and distraught appearance.
Although the caretaker was angry with Wayne, he still led him to Rosalynn’s grandmother’s grave.
Wayne placed the flowers in front of the tombstone and bowed slightly.
He didn’t really know what to say to her.
If she knew what he’d done to Rosalynn, she’d probably want to kill him, right?
He was indifferent, emotionally abusive, and took all her kindness for granted.
In the end, Wayne just whispered an apology.
He promised that he would take good care of Rosalynn from now on.
He wouldn’t let her bear the pain alone anymore.
After that, the caretaker took Wayne down from the graveyard on a different path.
“We have a rule here, you don’t retrace your steps in a graveyard around here,” the caretaker explained.
Wayne followed silently
After a few steps, Wayne suddenly stopped.
Not far away, there was a small grocery store.
The very same store that had appeared in Rosalynn’s old photo.
“That was the store… the caretaker saw him not moving and turned to come back. “When Lynn was a kid, she first came here to bury her mother, she cried so hard. Her grandfather had to buy her an ice cream here to calm her down.”
The caretaker sighed.
“When her grandfather passed away, she was older and more sensible. Instead, she bought an ice cream for her grandmother, to console her not to cry.”
Wayne went to the store and bought two ice creams.
