Chapter138
Ophelia held Winford’s hand as they got out of the car, only to find that someone was already standing at the entrance of the cemetery–Erin!
Her expression immediately darkened.
In her past life, every year on her mother’s death anniversary, Erin never missed the occasion. At that time, she felt touched and believed that Erin shared a deep sisterly bond with her mother, which in turn made her trust Erin even more.
It seemed that way at the time… Ha!
Thinking that the other party had clearly gotten together with Samuel a long time ago, and that their mother’s death was very likely caused by her, Ophelia felt nothing but disgust when she saw her appear in the cemetery.
If my mother knew what was happening in the underworld, how upset she would be!
Immediately, she did not hide her attitude at all, “What did you come here for?”
Erin and Samuel, who had just gotten out of the car, were both taken aback for a moment.
In previous years, when did Erin not come? At that time, Ophelia only felt touched. Why was there such a big disagreement this time?
Erin thought about her daughter who was still crying at home. She was already filled with anger and wished she could tear Ophelia apart. At that moment, being confronted by her, she almost couldn’t maintain the expression on her face.
Chapter139
She forced a smile and said, “Ophelia, your mother and I were good friends. It was her anniversary, so of course I had to come to see her. What happened to you?”
With a sigh, she weakly said to Samuel, “Honey, I know Ophelia is upset with me, but no matter what, today is Harriet’s memorial day, and we are going to see Harriet now…”
Her words implied that Ophelia was naive.
Samuel’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, and just as he was about to speak, Ophelia stared at him, “Are you sure my mom would be happy to see her?”
Her tone and gaze revealed sarcasm, and Samuel’s heart skipped a beat, almost making him doubt whether Ophelia had found out something.
He immediately said to Erin in an annoyed tone, “Forget it, you can go back. I didn’t ask you to come in the first place!”
Erin’s expression froze, “Honey….
“Can’t understand what I’m saying, can you? I told you to go back!” Samuel’s expression suddenly darkened.
Today was Harriet’s death anniversary. He was already in a bad mood, and after hearing Ophelia say that, he felt even more uneasy.
Seeing Erin’s hesitant demeanor, I felt even more impatient.
Ophelia was right; if Harriet had known from the grave, how could she have been happy to see her?
Did you not have any self–awareness about what you did? How could you still have the face to approach Harriet?
In front of Ophelia, Winford, and a group of bodyguards, Erin’s face
turned pale and flushed as she was scolded by Samuel.
She pinched her palm and forced a smile, saying. “Then I waited for you down there.”
Samuel waved his hand dismissively and turned to Winford with a flattering tone, saying, “Mr. Winford, walk this way.”
Winford’s expression was calm as he held his little wife’s hand in his palm and walked up with her.
Ophelia glanced at Samuel, feeling a sense of mockery in her heart.
Erin felt ashamed to face her mother; did he have the face to do so?
It seemed like cheating was something that only Erin could do!
Seeing such a father, she felt a chill in her heart.
Suddenly, the grip on my hand tightened.
I looked up and met Winford’s deep gaze, his brows slightly furrowed.
He looked down at her, his voice deep and serious, “Can’t you anymore?”
walk
“I wasn’t that useless!” she immediately came to her senses and muttered softly.
Although climbing the mountain was difficult, how long had it been since we started walking just a few minutes ago?
She spoke words of defiance, but as she looked at the extraordinary man before her, whose mere presence could instill a sense of security, Ophelia’s heart, which had turned cold for a moment, warmed up again.
Mom was gone, and there was no one in the family who loved her, but it
was okay; she had found someone new.
She felt the man’s hand tightly gripping hers. She said, “Let’s go, husband, I will take you to meet my mom!”
Winford paused and said, “Okay.”
As Ophelia walked into the cemetery and found her mother’s grave, the moment she saw the photo on the cold tombstone, her nose suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
In her past life, when she was in Minston, she used to visit her mother every year, but after she went to Kingchester, she never had the chance to come back.
