A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 55

Upon hearing the mockery in Krystal's voice, Melody turned to look at her.

She could tell that Krystal didn't like her, but she looked too much like Cheryl—so much so that sometimes, even Melody found herself in a daze.

…

The next day, Melody went to Cheryl's gravesite alone.

The woman in the photo had a bright and radiant smile, exactly like the person she remembered.

Jeremy arrived before her. He was wearing a black shirt instead of a white one, which added to the solemness.

Laura whispered to Krystal, "Go say something to Cheryl. You two were really close when you were little."

Krystal placed some flowers in front of the tombstone and looked at the young woman in the photo who bore such a resemblance to herself. She lowered her eyes and murmured, "Cheryl."

Laura stood behind her, wiping her tears. Her twin daughters had been by her side for far too short a time.

Melody felt heavy-hearted as well. She stepped forward and softly placed the flowers she had brought. It was a bouquet of cherry blossoms—Cheryl's favorite.

Unfortunately, this season only had the last of the late-blooming ones.

It was because she had gone to buy the cherry blossoms that she arrived late.

On the anniversary of Cheryl's passing, no one could bring themselves to lift their spirits.

…

When they got home, they were surprised to find Owen and Ophelia at the Wardolf residence.

The Chesson family was different from the Wardolf family. While the Wardolf family focused on business, mainly in the hotel industry and other enterprises, the Chesson family had a more diversified presence. Owen was even the president of the Jembina Business Association.

When Andrew saw Owen, he immediately greeted him, saying, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"

Owen politely responded, "We knew what today was, so we wanted to come and see you all. Besides, Ophelia said she wanted to have a chat with Melody too."

Ophelia stood behind Owen, dressed in a linen-colored business suit, looking elegant and composed. She smiled warmly at Melody and said, "Melody, long time no see."
