Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1788

Sean just didn’t want to say it aloud. If it were another matter, he would already be fuming. On the day of Bryce’s funeral, Leah actually showed up. However, she was stricter in her appearance. She wore sunglasses and a mask, and her hair was untied.

Hence, no one would be able to see the wounds on her face. The attention was not on her, anyway.

Simon and Sally stayed by Leah’s side. The usual arrogance on their faces was replaced with slight sorrow. Sean and Ian conducted the whole funeral. Sean was the one welcoming mourners at the entrance.

Meanwhile, Ian managed the passage of people going up to the casket. Even though Bryce’s reputation was ruined, many people still attended the funeral.

Ian didn’t recognize these people, so he just received them with a poker face. His only job was to direct everyone Sean welcomed to Bryce’s casket.

Leah’s head was lowered throughout the process, and she looked very sad as she bowed to everyone who had a look at the casket.

Some of them would send her their condolences, and Leah would reply with thanks. Other than that, she never said anything else. She had reasons for staying quiet. She didn’t have much to say, for one. And secondly, her mouth hurt.


Her mouth was injured because Bryce’s cane had hit it before. A scab was forming on it for the last two days. The people simply thought that she was too mournful for words, so they didn’t think much about it.

As Ian was receiving the mourners, he caught sight of the butler, who seemed to have aged overnight. The butler had always been a young and strong man to Ian, but now that Ian looked closer, he could see white hair on the butler’s head.

Seeing Ian, the butler walked over with a smile. “How have you been?”

The butler knew how Ian felt about Bryce, so he didn’t ask anything unnecessary.

Ian nodded. “I’ve been well. I’ll be leaving after this ends. What about you? Do you still intend to stay here?”

The butler took a glance at the door. “I’ll see what Sean thinks about it. If he deems my presence necessary, I’ll stay behind.”

Bryce was gone, so Leah and the other two would probably leave the Morgans. The Morgan Residence would be significantly emptier, so Ian wasn’t quite sure that the butler would be required to stay.

The house was too large, and the number of Morgans was decreasing, so they probably wouldn’t be able to afford living in such a huge house.

Ian nodded. “If you decide to leave, you can call me. I will help in whatever way I can.”

As they chatted, Ian gave the butler his phone number.

The butler gently grinned. “All right, I get it.”
