Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO - Chapter 319
“This is a hereditary legacy dear, accept it. If you and Devan have a daughter later, give it to her when she gets married,” said Seira interrupting Claire’s words.
Hearing that, Claire was silent for a moment. “Thank you, Mom. I love this necklace, it’s very pretty,” she said after a moment of silence.
“Give it to me, honey. I’ll help you put it on,” Seira said.
Claire nodded in agreement, then obeyed the middle-aged woman’s words.
While the others, Dave received a new toy, Aaron received a gift of an expensive Watch, and Grandma received a bag as a gift.
“Thank you for the gift, Mr. Atmadja. Then please drink and enjoy the food,” said Aaron, inviting Mr. Atmadja and his wife to enjoy the dishes on the table.
Time flies so fast, No one noticed that they’ve been talking for almost two hours. The hot weather is slowly being replaced by cool weather. It’s already afternoon.
They all then prepared to visit the cemetery.
During the trip, Claire just stared at the street view from the car window. Her face looks sad, she suddenly misses her parents. All this time she didn’t have any memories left of her parents in her mind. Sad isn’t it? She didn’t even notice that the tears were already flowing down her cheeks.
Grandmother and Aaron glanced at each other, they were silent, as if they understood what the woman was feeling. While Dave, the boy was asleep on Grandma’s lap, while Mrs. Seira and Mr. Atmadja, were both in different cars with Claire.
The black limousine continued until it came to a flower shop.
“Just stay here, honey. I will buy flowers for you,” said Aaron when he saw his nephew want to get up from his chair. Indeed, before they left earlier, Claire asked the driver to stop at the flower shop before arriving at the cemetery.
The woman just nodded in agreement.
Aaron bought several flower arrangements, one for each person. Including himself.
And after that, they continued their journey until they arrived at the parking lot of a public cemetery, and at the same time Dave also woke up from his sleep.
“Where are we now, Grandma?” asked the boy as he looked out the window.
“We’re going to your Grandpa and Grandma’s house, honey,” Grandma answered while stroking her grandson’s head.
“Huh?” Dave tilted his head, confused.
Seeing her grandson’s reaction, Grandma just smiled. “Come on, honey,” she said as the car door opened.
“Mom, wait for me,” said Dave, the little boy jogged after Claire who was a few steps away from him.
Claire turned and immediately greeted her son, carrying him in her arms. “Don’t run like this, or you’ll fall,” Claire said to Dave, the woman then continued on her way.
Aaron led the way, while Granny, Seira, and Mr. Atmadja followed behind him.
Through several graves, Claire finally arrived at the graves of her parents. She couldn’t bend her tears, her tears finally broke.
With a slow-motion, she lowered Dave from her arms, then squat in front of her parents’ grave, with one hand rubbing their gravestones in turn.
“Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for just visiting you guys,” Claire muttered as she sobbed.
She then placed the bouquet she was carrying on the graves of her parents. The thing she regretted the most was, not a single memory of her parents remained. However, she misses the figure of her parents.
“Jennie…” Mrs. Seira muttered. The middle-aged woman squat next to Claire. Her tears were now running down her cheeks, her memories replayed when her best friend was still alive. Apologies kept coming out of her mouth.
Dave who was between them stared confused. He then looked at everyone, although he felt very curious, he didn’t ask anything. Slowly, he hugged Claire from behind.
“Mom, don’t cry, I’m sorry to see you like this,” said Dave and kissed his mother’s cheek.
Immediately Claire rubbed her cheeks, then turned to her son while rubbing his head, “Okay, honey. I won’t cry anymore,” she said and hugged Dave.
The boy just nodded, then looked at the graves of Jennie and Jason, from his gaze, anyone could see that the boy was confused.
“Mom, what are we doing here?” he asked.
“To see my mom and dad, honey. They are your grandparents, Granny Jennie, and Grandpa Jason,” answered Claire.
“Hmm?” Dave tilted his head in confusion.
“Come here, honey. You were with me first, okay?” Aaron chimed in. The two men’s eyes glazed over. Even though it’s been a long time, the feelings of pain and loss still linger in his heart. Then he carried his grandson.
“Mom and Dad. Don’t worry about me, I’m living well. I am happy, all my needs are well met. I’m also getting married soon, your future son-in-law is a very nice man. He loves me very much, he understands me very well, maybe you will immediately like him if you meet him. I promise, before my wedding, I will bring him here and introduce him to you,” Claire said while sobbing. The way she spoke as if her parents were still alive.
“Mom, Dad, I also have a son, he is a very smart grandson, maybe he will be very troublesome for you if you are still alive,” said Claire, that woman rubbing her mother’s tombstone. Her tears didn’t stop flowing.
Everyone who heard the woman’s words was moved. Especially Sierra. The middle-aged woman wiped her tears, trying to normalize her feelings.
“Jennie, I promise, I will take good care of your daughter. No, soon she will also be my daughter. I will take very good care of our daughter, I never thought you and I would become besan. If only you were still alive. I’m sorry for only visiting you now. All this time I thought you had forgotten me and were living happily, I never thought that you were like this, I hope heaven is the best place for you, “said Mrs. Seira sobbing.
Mr. Atmadja approached his wife and stroked her shoulder. While Grandma, the old woman sat down next to Claire, trying to strengthen her.
“Be Patient, dear.”
