A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Have your parents finally decided on a date?" Carlos interrupted without a single shred of emotion in his voice. Then he added, "This kind of thing should've been settled as soon as possible."

Upon hearing what he said, the three people present all had a surprised look on their faces.

Cherish's hands started to uncontrollably shake. She pressed her red lips together to stop herself from saying something inappropriate. She thought to herself, 'He must be out of his mind!'

The surprise on the two elders' faces turning into an expression of discomfort. They stared intently at Carlos. But suddenly, Leah cleared her throat and replied, "Of course they have, they're just waiting for me and your father to check the calendar."

Leah and Chuck walked out of the room as soon as the former finished speaking, leaving behind Cherish, who was still in a dreamlike state.

"Are you sure you've already left the past behind you?" Cherish asked Carlos, still feeling like she was walking on clouds. At that moment, she still felt that her senses were quite distorted due to being overwhelmed by tremendous satisfaction. "Or did you say that just to shut your parents up?" she added hesitantly.

Carlos had his usual look on his face when he responded. "Can't I be engaged to you simply because I like you?"

His straightforward answer extremely surprised her. She couldn't bear the enormous emotions so she hurried out of the room.

She felt like she was about to go crazy!

Later that night, Carlos bid Nora a sincere farewell. The next day, Cherish accompanied Carlos to bury the urn at the cemetery.

Upon reaching the place, they stared at the old black and white photo of Nora on her tombstone. In the photo, she was smiling like she had used to when she was still alive. The final burden that Carlos carried in his heart slowly disappeared.

But it was still hard for him to let Nora be buried there, due to the negligence of the cemetery staff and the fact that this whole incident had been used by Darren to threaten him. But now, all of it was finally over.

Cherish placed some fresh flowers on the tombstone and joined Carlos in lighting a few incenses. Carlos then asked her, "Is there anything you wish to say to her?"

"I don't know what to say. I'm afraid I'll only make you feel uncomfortable," Cherish replied. She then slowly shook her head and stared at him with her bright eyes, as if she had thousands of words to say. Eventually, her lips moved. "Aren't you afraid that she'll get upset with you for bringing me here?"

"I'm not even worried about you being upset." Carlos quickly replied and rolled up his sleeves. He then briefly added, "People have to say goodbye to the past in order to welcome a new life, don't you think?"
