Chapter 380

Renee was unperturbed by her recent stint in the trending news. After washing up, Renee wore a black dress and light makeup, ready to visit her parent’s gravesite.

Today was a special day. It was the ninth anniversary of her parent’s death.

“Do you need my company?” Leia asked thoughtfully.

“No. I can deal with this myself.”

Renee was away from Beach City for four years. It was her first time back and the first time she’d be paying her respect to her late parents. She had a lot to speak to them alone.

She got into the same red Ferrari from yesterday and sped all the way to the cemetery.

It was the height of summer in August, but the gravestones that lay silent among the lush grass in the cemetery were cold and quiet all year round.

After parking her car, Renee put on her black sunglasses, then headed to her parents’ graves with a white daisy bouquet in hand.

However, despite arriving early, she was surprised to see that a fancy bouquet had already been left in front of the grave. The bouquet was the same as the one she had seen many years ago. She wondered if someone had been secretly visiting her parents all these years.

“Who could it be?” Renee silently guessed in her mind.

Many years ago, a kind soul left an exquisite Amber pendant at her parent’s grave. Stefan coincidentally had an identical pendant, so Renee suspected it must’ve been him who paid respects to her parents back then. However, after thinking about it again, it didn’t make sense.

Stefan was such a cold man. He was so indifferent and did not care about her. How could he be so kind to pay respect to her parents, who had nothing to do with him? Besides, she and Stefan had divorced for so many years. They had lost touch and were complete strangers. It was unlikely for him to pay his respects…

“Forget it. I don’t want to think about it!”

Renee shook her head and stopped her nonsensical thoughts.

Renee’s parents were good people, so Renee simply assumed that her parents had a friend who always missed them and thought of them. That friend probably sent them flowers yearly to pay respects.

Renee put the white daisies next to the bouquet. Her eyes turned red as she looked at her parents’

photo on the tombstones.

‘ Mom, Dad. Today is the anniversary of your death. Your daughter has traveled far, but she’s finally returned to see you.

“Four years and another four years passed. My world has changed a lot… Four years ago, I left the destructive marriage that hurt me. I also left the man who didn’t cherish me, but I don’t regret it. After all, my life now is much better… great, in fact!

’I’m proud to say that your daughter hasn’t disgraced you. I’ve done well in my career. I believe it’s only a matter of time before the Everheart family rises to the top again, back to its former glory. I’m also very fortunate and blessed with two angels: My babies, Adie and Abby. Our lives will be fulfilling and sweet…

“Be happy. You’re grandparents now. The next time I return to Beach City, I’ll bring the two little ones to meet you!”

As Renee spoke, tears blurred her eyes. “Mom, Dad. Please bless Adie, Abby, and me with good health and good fortune. I hope everything will be alright!”

Somehow, her parents’ smiles on the tombstone seemed to grow deeper.

She wondered if her parents would be happy and proud of her if they were still alive.

After paying her respects, Renee wiped her tears and put away her sadness. After easing her emotions, her cold, emotionless look returned, and she was prepared to leave.

That was when a figure suddenly emerged.
