Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 868

Jackson was rendered speechless. Why wasn’t anyone asking for his opinion? Was he invisible?

After dinner, Jackson sent Tiffany and Tanya home. The trio had agreed to leave together tomorrow.

…

The next morning, at the Tremont Estate.

Arianne changed into a black outfit, ready to go to the cemetery.

Aristotle was still too small and had caught a flu; plus, it was raining outside. Hence, they decided against bringing him along. They left him at home in Mary’s care.

Mark was dressed in a black suit too, which gave him a very stately air. The pair brought a bouquet of flowers and left the house. It was a two hour drive before they arrived at the cemetery.

The dark clouds in the sky cast an eerie light over the cemetery. It was practically deserted, except for the old, bespectacled caretaker, who was reading today’s paper in a small hut.

Arianne felt gloomy. It had been a long time since her grandmother’s death, and she was only visiting her now. She felt resentful and helpless at the thought of Zoey and her husband’s antics. Life was short, and no one had ever been able to enjoy it in peace. Most just drift along. The Wynn family had broken ever since her father, Zachary, had run away to be with Helen. She was later orphaned, so the family disintegrated again. In reality, no one has ever been able to escape a horrible fate. No one’s fate was worse than another’s.

Arianne placed the flowers that they had brought in front of the grave with a blank look on her face. The flowers that Helen had brought were right next to hers. What did she mean by “just in the neighborhood”? Was a cemetery that convenient? It was such a weak excuse. She knew that Helen was worried about upsetting her and didn’t want to make her angry. “I thought you hated granny.”

Helen lowered her gaze, her eyes filled with a mix of complicated emotions. “No, I never hated her. Quite the opposite, in fact. I’ve always felt guilt towards her and your father. It’s just my way of completing a part of your father’s unfulfilled duty. I’ve made too many wrong choices in my life.”

Arianne was unsure of what to say, so she kept quiet. Humans were beings with complicated emotions anyway.

She did not feel any tears as she stared at her grandmother’s headstone. She only felt pale and weak. Unbeknownst to her, she ended up standing there for a very long time.
