Chapter 788

Sure enough, Johnathan said gloomily, “I did want to bring them, but Reynaldo wouldn’t let me. That guy is so protective of the babies, he doesn’t let them out of his sight for a second.”

“Ah, I really couldn’t help it. I did my best, too.”

Vonnie frowned and exclaimed angrily, “So you couldn’t bring them out? You should have told us in advance; we made a wasted trip.”

“How can it be considered a wasted trip? I treated you to a meal.”

“Who asked you to treat us to a meal? Just one meal, we can afford it.” Not seeing the babies, Vonnie was a little disappointed in Johnathan.

Johnathan’s face didn’t look very good at the moment. Also, he was known as a playboy, but he didn’t expect to meet Vonnie, this girl who didn’t understand romance.

I smiled and said, “Vonnie, you didn’t eat much just now, did you? Why don’t you go have dinner with him? I have something to do and need to leave first.”

Vonnie became anxious and said, “What’s the matter? I’ll go with you.”

I fell silent for a moment and said, “I went back to Freybourne. I should go visit my mother’s grave.”

Vonnie listened and couldn’t say anything more. She said to Johnathan, “Let’s go, let’s eat.”

Johnathan snorted in anger but still obediently followed her.

I couldn’t help but smile as I watched their backs, one in front of the other. Actually, it was quite nice when they were together.

This morning was sunny, but by noon, the weather had turned cloudy. The clouds were low and dark, as if it were going to rain.

I had just arrived at the cemetery when the sky really started to drizzle. The slight cold rain added a touch of sadness to the surroundings.

I walked up to my mother’s tombstone and found several bouquets of flowers in front of it, as if they had just been placed there not long ago.

Who has just come to see my mom? Was it Quentin, or was it my dad?

I placed carnations in front of the tombstone, looked up at my mother’s photo, and tears fell uncontrollably.

“Mom…”

I leaned against the tombstone, choking with sorrow, “I’m sorry, it took me so long to come see you, I’m sorry…”

The memories of the past came flooding back. The warm home, the father who spoiled me, and the brother who cared for me have all turned into unforgettable pain. Originally, the most sorrowful thing is not the changes of the world, but the changes of people and things.

Everything in Freybourne remained unchanged, even the air was so familiar. But those who loved me and those I loved, they have all disappeared, never to be found again.

I touched my mother’s photo and remembered my mother’s warm embrace; my heart trembled with pain. I wiped away the tears on my face, smiling at my mother’s photo and saying, “Mom, I am doing well now; you don’t need to worry about me.”

And your two grandchildren that you were looking forward to, they are also doing well. They have grown up and become very cute. I will bring them to see you soon.

“Mom… I will come to see you often in the future.”

I wiped the dust off the tombstone, and for a moment, sorrow overwhelmed me; tears uncontrollably streamed down my face. I held the cold tombstone in my arms and couldn’t help but burst into tears.

The wind was slightly cool in my ears, and fine raindrops drifted onto my face, as if my mother were caressing my face, comforting me.
