Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 1446

After that camping trip, the relationship between Theodore and Rosalie seemed to have reached a new level of understanding.

Though they were no longer husband and wife, they interacted like close family.

Theodore found a good burial site to lay Justin to rest.

Even though only a few fragments of Justin's bones remained, he still deserved a proper burial in a place with good geomancy.

The burial was kept simple. There was no formal funeral. Only Rosalie and Theodore brought Justin's remains to the cemetery.

Rosalie held the small box in her arms, reluctant to part with it.

Theodore gently placed his arm around her shoulders. "Rose, let him rest in peace."

Tears welled in Rosalie's eyes as she gazed at Theodore. She opened the box, revealing the few remaining fragments of Justin's bones, and gently caressed them.

"Justin, I will come visit you again."

Theodore glanced at the bones inside the box and frowned slightly. Something seemed off. There were supposed to be seven bone fragments left, but now, there were only six.

However, Theodore didn't say anything. He simply waited until Rosalie was ready, then closed the box.

Holding Rosalie close, he guided her forward. Rosalie personally placed the box inside the coffin. The moment she did, tears streamed down her face.

"Justin, goodbye."

It was as if, at that moment, she was finally, truly letting him go.

Rosalie sobbed uncontrollably. Theodore wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulling her away.

The cemetery workers began to cover the coffin with soil. As Rosalie watched the dirt slowly bury the coffin, her cries grew louder. "Justin! Justin!"

Justin's grave was completed.

The tombstone bore the inscription: The Resting Place of Justin Lynch. Below it, in smaller characters, was another line: Erected by his loving wife, Rosalie Young.

Even though she and Justin hadn't been able to register their marriage, they had completed the wedding ceremony. To Rosalie, Justin was her husband, so it was only right for her to dedicate this tombstone to him.

After Justin was laid to rest, Rosalie stood before the grave for a long time. It wasn't until Theodore gently touched her belly and coaxed her that they left.

"The baby needs rest, too. Let's go back. It looks like it's going to rain—we can visit him again next time."

Rosalie took a step closer, lightly tracing the tombstone with her fingertips. "Justin, don't worry. No matter where I go, I'll always carry you with me."
