Chapter 492
At the cemetery, the skies were dark, and there was a drizzle. It was a heavy
atmosphere.
Gale had black clothes on and a white flower on her chest as she quietly stood in front of the gravestone.
Peter put a bouquet on the gravestone as he quietly looked at Wendy’s picture.
After looking at it for a while, he reached out to wipe away the rain. “You’ll be staying here in the future, dear. I’ll
visit you and talk to you when I have time.”
The rain wet Peter’s hair.
Gale walked forward with the umbrella. “Dad, take care of your health.”
She helped Peter up.
None of them wanted to leave.
Father and daughter. They were all each other had left.
In the end, Peter was the one who dealt with Wendy’s funeral affairs with the help of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFiona.
Peter did not allow anyone to come, and even Same had been rejected.
“Gale, when my time comes in the future, you have to have me buried next to your mother. I’ll be happy if I get to
rest in peace next to her,” Peter said.
“Alright, Dad, but you’ll live for a long time.”
Peter answered, “What’s the point of living for a long time alone?”
“You still have me, Dad.”
Peter patted her on the hand.
Gale grabbed his hand fearfully. “Dad, even if it’s for my sake and the sake of your grandchildren, you have to live
on. Don’t have any wild thoughts, and don’t do anything stupid, okay? I can’t lose you again.”
Peter did not say anything.
After a long time, he asked, “Gale, when are you leaving?”
“Soon, I have to leave within a month. Otherwise, my stomach will start to bulge. If Shawn notices that, I won’t be
able to leave. The children will belong to the Wood
family.”
“Okay, okay.”
The two of them stood there quietly for a long time until both of them started to get tired. The rain got heavier as
well, so Gale started to prepare to head off the
mountain with Peter.
The moment they turned around, she saw Aurum standing amidst the rain with a- black umbrella.
“Mr. Lefting?”
“Who’s that? He doesn’t look familiar,” Peter asked.
“He’s an… important person. Whether or not I’ll be able to leave will depend on him,” Gale answered.
Aurum slowly walked over and put his flowers in front of Wendy’s grave.
He bowed.
“Mr. Lefting, thank you,” Gale said.
Aurum turned around to look at her. “When I heard the bad news, I didn’t know how I should comfort you. My
condolences.”

“I was planning on figuring out how to get both your parents away from Sea City, and now…” Aurum sighed. “In the
end, we’re short one person.”
Peter said, “I’m not leaving, Mr. Lefting.”
Aurum was surprised. “Not leaving?”
“Yes, please just make sure that Gale will be able to leave. You don’t have to put me into consideration,” Peter said.
Aurum looked at Gale. “But…she was planning on bringing her family with her.”
“I grew up in Sea City, and I worked here too. I won’t be comfortable anywhere else. My wife is buried here, and I
want to see her every year. If we leave, it will be hard for me to come back. She’ll be lonely alone.”
Peter did not want to burden Gale, and he did want to stay behind to visit Wendy’s grave.
Peter held Aurum’s hand. “Thank you.”
“Mr. Warm, don’t mention it.”
Peter nodded and walked to the side, giving them some space to talk.
