Susan couldn’t accept it, so she called Sophia as soon as she returned to her room.

Sophia sighed when she answered the call. “Susan, you’re aware of how persistent Evan can be. Just go along with him for now. He’ll come to let it go after a while. Take good care of the four kids, and don’t tell them about Nicole’s passing yet.”

 
 

“Okay, I’ll take good care of them. However, I really don’t feel good about leaving a corpse in the house. I’m afraid that it might be a bad omen for the household. Please advise him when you have the time to do so,” Susan replied.

“Don’t worry, I will,” reassured Sophia.

“Sophia, it’s getting late. You should get some rest now,” Susan urged before ending the call.

 

After hanging up, Susan let out a deep sigh. The thought of Evan bringing back the urn of ashes made her hair stand on end, as though a gust of cold wind had just blown toward her.

 

Where did Evan place the urn? Could he have put it in the bedroom?

Back in his bedroom, Evan gently stroked the urn of ashes that he had placed on the bed as he whispered, “Nicole, we’re home now. It’s time to rest. If you don’t feel comfortable staying here, I’ll bring you to Imperial Garden tomorrow.”

 

Evan felt that it was the most appropriate to leave Nicole’s ashes in Imperial Garden since the place belonged to her.

“You must miss the kids a lot. You’ll get to see them since we’re back here today. They miss you very much too. I’ll take a shower first, then we can go to sleep together,” he added.

 

Thereafter, he headed to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Susan tiptoed over to Evan’s room and gently knocked on the door twice, but she didn’t hear any movement inside the room. Hence, she carefully pushed the door open as she took a curious peek inside.
