After arriving at the destination, Lily probably knew who Andrew took her to meet.
If she guessed right, the person she was going to see was his mother, because the place he brought her was the cemetery.
"Brother Andrew, you..." Lily turned to look at Andrew, confused. She wanted to ask, but didn't know how to say.
"Get off the car now," Andrew gave her a bitter smile, "Today is my mother's Deathday. I'm taking you here to visit her."
After that, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Seeing this, Lily got off the car and walked up to Andrew. In fact, she wanted to ask him why he took her to see his mother.
But when she saw the loneliness on his face, she put up with it, and a sense of sadness rose from the inexplicable heart.
Looking at the graveyard in front of him, Andrew was a little depressed. He heaved a deep sigh and turned to Lily, "Let's go."
"Yes." Lily nodded.
They walked along the concrete road, one after the other. There were very few people in the alley except them.
After walking for about ten minutes, Andrew stopped. He looked ahead and said in a low voice, "Here we are."
Lily stopped and followed him to look ahead. There was a man standing in front of the tombstone not far away with a bunch of lily flowers in his hand. That man was no one else, but Kerr.
The most eye-catching person was not Kerr, but the maple tree beside the tombstone, with exuberant leaves hanging on it.
"He only did three things in his life." Andrew spoke indifferently, as if he was talking to both Lily and himself, "maple tree, lily, I..."
After hearing that, Lily turned to look at him in confusion. Just when she was about to ask, he had already walked over.
She had no choice but to follow him.
When they were in front of the gravestone, Kerr bent over and placed the lily in his hand in front of it. Then he turned to look at Andrew and said, "Here you are."
When he saw Lily following behind him, he frowned and asked, "Why do you bring Lily here?"
Andrew laughed, with a hint of almost invisible sarcasm in his voice. He didn't look at Kerr, but stared directly at the tombstone and said indifferently, "I think it's better to let her know something. It's good for you, for her and for aunt, isn't it?"
"Andrew..." He looked at his son helplessly, but didn't know what to say. He treated him like this every year.
The conversation between the two made Lily a little embarrassed. At the same time, she also noticed the change of Andrew's mood. He had never talked to Kerr in such a cold and alienated tone before.
She wanted to persuade them, but she didn't know how. After all, it was their family affair and it seemed to be related to Andrew's mother.
As her eyes fell on the tombstone, she opened her eyes wide in shock the next moment. The woman on the black and white photo on the tombstone was incredibly similar to her mother!
Lily was not stupid. She knew exactly what he meant. She just did not expect that because of the love he had for her mother, he found a substitute!
She couldn't help but feel pity, especially for that smiling woman on the photo.
"If you have finished, you should go back early. Aunt Tina hasn't recovered from her cold yet. She needs someone to take care of her." He was talking to Kerr, but his eyes were fixed on the gravestone.
Kerr sighed, "Andrew, I know you're mad at me. But I don't want you to blame Lily and her mother. They are innocent."
"You are wrong." Hearing this, Andrew turned to his father and said, "Father, I don't hate you. I won't get them involved in this. I'll support you whatever you do now. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. I just can't get over the problem in my heart."
Kerr looked at him deeply, patted his shoulder, and turned around to leave. Before he turned around, he glanced at Lily with a faint smile, and then walked away.
As a father, he understood what his son was thinking, but he was indeed embarrassing him.
After Kerr went far away, Andrew turned to Lily and said with a smile, "Surprised? I was also surprised when I saw the photo of your mother."
"Brother Andrew..." Lily opened her mouth and tried to say something to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. What position should she use to persuade him?
