Chapter 627

Jerome pursed his lips and did not say anything else.

Spring came early in Salt City. After a few heavy downpours, several plants were beginning tosprout.

Munchkin was beginning to have teeth. He started to enjoy biting things, putting everything that waswithin reach into his mouth. Apart from the time he was sleeping, I would be watching after himmost of the time.

Xander was really efficient at handling things. In less than a week, he had already found a buyerwho was interested in buying the house.

Although house prices in Salt City did not skyrocket year after year, it was still a developed city. Asyears passed, house prices had risen considerably. Coupled with the luxurious renovation andcomplete furnishing, the price was bound to be much higher than when it was first purchased.

The buyer was serious about buying a house. Knowing that I was not planning to ask too much fromhim, he decided to take the house.

It would take a few days to finish the handover procedure of the property. I had been planning to goto the cemetery yet never managed to go. Therefore,

during the weekend, I drove to the cemetery because Jerome and Xander were both free and couldhelp keep an eye on the child.

It was nearly March now. The morning sun was not too glaring. Perhaps because of the heavy dew,I felt a little humid not long after I went out the door.

As it was very early, not many were at the cemetery. I walked on the stony path and paid myrespects to the deceased.

I stood in front of Mom’s tombstone, looking at the woman with a bright smile in the photo on thetombstone. My eyes welled up with tears. "Mom, I seem to be living my life quite badly.”

After a pause, I continued, "Everybody's gone and I'm all alone. I feel really lonely now."

I suppressed the pain in my heart and took a deep breath, not saying another word. The deadshould rest in peace while the living would continue living.

When I sensed another person’s presence behind me, my body stiffened slightly. I knew withoutthinking that it was Theo.

I did not look back. After a very long time, I sighed, turned around without sparing him a glance, andheaded deeper into the cemetery.

We brushed past each other and he grabbed my wrist. I was momentarily stunned before shakingoff his hand. My expression was immensely indifferent with no indication of sorrow or delight. Ilooked mildly at him and said, "It’s fine if you refuse to go through the divorce procedures. Afterthree years of separation, our marriage will be automatically dissolved.”

He pursed his lips, the color of his pupils was extremely dark. "Is there no turning hack?"

I lowered my gaze, concealing the emotions in my eyes. "You should've known that this day wouldcome when you lied to me."

He looked at me, his pupils were so deep that they could send shivers down one's spine. "Do youhate m e?"

“Theo..." I raised my head and smiled. "I don't hate you, but that's it."

Life was always full of twists and turns. I could only comfort myself that this was a predestined twistby the heavens and I must accept it. Only by thinking it that way could I face Theo so calmly.

I pulled our distance apart and did not look at his face again, only saying mildly, "If you ever hadeven the slightest feelings for me, I beg you to please remember them and let go of our relationship.From now on, let's part without hard feelings."

I turned around and walked out of the cemetery. When I got back to the residence, the sky wasalready a little dark.

Before I opened the door, I heard voices from the inside. It was Petra.

Sure enough, I saw Petra and Grayson sitting in the living room when I opened the door. They werecoaxing and playing with Munchkin. When they saw me, they were first stunned, then sat straightlike children who had made a mistake.
