Chapter 66 Don’t Make Me Ask Twice

Angela lowered the curtains and switched on the lights in the dark living room.

The living room was in the worst condition. The couch, chairs, and tables were all destroyed, and the walls were painted red.

The painter had repainted the walls white to cover up the glaring red paint, but they still needed to buy new furniture.

Although things could be replaced, they were different from Grandma’s belongings.

Angela felt the house was unfamiliar because it was empty, and all the familiar items were gone. She looked around and left the house.

Angela went to the alley and purchased red candles, three incense sticks, and joss paper. Then, she took the bus to the cemetery on the outskirts. Charlotte was buried in the public cemetery in Northcity. George had paid for it and made it luxurious due to his reputation.

It was almost 9 p.m., and the cemetery was quiet. There were no streetlights, and the cold wind blew loudly. She was dressed lightly and felt cold. The exposed parts of her limbs had turned slightly blue from the cold. Finally, she arrived at the cemetery. The caretaker was an old man. He shone his flashlight on Angela’s face and said, “We’re closed now. If you want to pay your respects, please come back tomorrow morning.”

Angela was taken aback momentarily and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know I couldn’t come at night.” She was afraid of causing trouble and apologized before turning around and leaving.

The old man saw Angela standing outside in the cold night while dressed lightly, holding a few candles in her hand. He felt she must have suffered some grievances but had no one to talk to. Thus, she could only come to visit her deceased loved ones. In that split second, he. felt that she was pitiful.

“Never mind. Come in. After paying your respects, you should hurry back home.”
