Accidental love II novel Chapter 25

"Nora, is anyone in the ancestral hall?"

"It should be Miss Clinton, Mr. Clinton's aunt. She has been be a vegetarian and learning the sutras in the Buddha hall next to the ancestral hall for a long time."

Janice was not unfamiliar with Freya. When she first came to the Clinton’s, only grandfather and she greeted Marcus. However, others just ignored Marcus, as if he didn’t exist.

"Don't disturb her. Let's go back first."

"Yes, Mrs. Clinton."

After that, the two turned around to leave, but they were stopped by Freya who heard the sound, "Is it Janice? Why are you leaving when you just came?!"

Hearing Freya calling her name, Janice quickly turned her head, nodded respectfully, and replied with a smile, "Auntie, I'm afraid to disturb you."

"We’re a family. You don't have to be so polite to me like this. Come in. I want to chat with you for a while."

"Okay."

Hearing her happily agreed, Freya took her hand and walked into the Buddha hall.

The four walls of the ancestral hall were dark-brown wooden walls. There was a kind of woody scent between the lattice windows. In the smoke of burning joss sticks, she saw a transparent white jade Buddha statue on the table. Such an exquisite statue was really rare. Janice couldn't help but stared at it for a long time. For a moment, she forgot to speak.

"Janice, have a seat."

Only then did Janice notice Freya's dress. She was wearing a light blue plain dress and holding a string of shiny black Buddhist beads. Beneath that kind face, the black and white eyes were filled with tenderness. She looked so kind.

"Auntie, do you often come to the ancestral hall?" Janice let go of her guard and sat down beside Freya.

"Since your uncle passed away, I have lost interest to the world. Later, my dad built this ancestral hall for me. I will come here every day to release your uncle’s soul from suffering. I have been accustomed to be vegetarian and reciting sutras for so many years."

"It turns out to be like that."

It turned out that those rumors were true. The Clinton family was indeed an ominous place. Maybe one day she would lose her life here.

Janice only felt creepy. The blood in her body seemed to have cooled down suddenly. She couldn't help but shivered. Tension and fear came to her like a tide. Her heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand. Even her breathing was a little difficult.

She tried to restrain the fear. She forced a smile, and pretended to say calmly, "Auntie, you have worked so hard for so many years."

"It's not hard work. It's all I am willing to do. Alas, you don't have to think about it too much. As long as we do more good deeds, ghosts will not come to us."

"Yeah." Janice replied insincerely.

"Janice, take good care of Marcus. He is a good boy. You two will be happy in the future. Auntie will always be on your side."

"Thank you, Auntie."
