His Precious Love

Chapter 319

The Lopez family kept Gerald’s accident so quiet that none of the media was aware of it. The only attendees at the funeral were close friends and family.

Dressed entirely in black, Rayna accompanied Curtis and the others to the cemetery.

She saw Wyatt and his mother upon getting out of the car. Pamela looked haggard, as though Gerald’s death had made her age overnight.

Gerald had had a decent reputation and had been a good husband to Pamela. Rayna had even heard from Curtis that Pamela had cried all night with Gerald’s body in her arms on the day of the accident.

Jessica stood beside Wyatt. She was also clad in black, with a dark veil shrouding her petite face. Although her expression remained impassive, her lips moved as though she was saying words of comfort to Pamela.

Rayna withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.

Despite Gerald’s embarrassing conduct, he had been married to Pamela for decades and was Wyatt’s father. Rayna reckoned Pamela would not tolerate Jessica’s presence if she knew the truth.

Wyatt came over to receive Theodore and the others when he saw them.

“Theodore, Curtis, thank you for coming.” He still seemed energetic despite the blankness of his gaze and his hoarse voice.

Theodore patted him on the shoulder. “My condolences.”

Wyatt shrugged and said jeeringly, “I’m not that upset. This must be karma for everything he’s done.”

Those incidents had soured his relationship with his father to such an extent that he was unwilling to inherit the family business.

The funeral began at nine.

The crowd stood in silence and, after the casket was lowered, stepped forward one at a time to offer their

condolences.

As the attendees were few, the ceremony concluded within an hour.
