As time passed, Charles also had wrinkles on his face and grey hair appeared on his temples. He still looked quite spirited. Sitting in the wheelchair, he didn't get fat. He looked thinner than before. He was in a black suit. Tiana was wearing a black lance dress without any decoration, quite neat.
Pushing Charles over, she said, “Dolores, sorry for your loss.”
Dolores nodded at her.
“I’m sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself,” Charles looked at Dolores and said.
Dolores and Matthew bowed at them in unison.
“Thank you so much for coming over,” Dolores whispered. Her voice was a bit hoarse because of crying.
“I must come here. He’s not an outsider to me.” Charles always remembered that Kevin was Victoria’s older brother, and Victoria was his foster father’s most beloved woman.
His foster father didn’t get married because of her.
However, Charles didn’t think he could compare to his foster father. He was in love with one woman but married another woman.
There were other guests behind them. Charles and Tiana went to worship Kevin with incense.
Almost all the family and relatives had arrived today. However, it was a funeral, so they seldom talked. They all felt quite sad.
When Charles saw Andrew and Amanda, his eyes were darkened. He used to envy Matthew a lot, and so was he now.
Matthew had sons and a daughter. In the future, he would have grandchildren and enjoy the big family. However, Charles had only Tiana only.
“Are you thirsty?” Tiana asked.
They got the news quite late, so they rushed to the funeral without preparing ahead.
Charles shook his head. “Tiana, if you are thirsty, you can get some water. I can stay here alone.”
“Okay. I’ll come back to you later.” Tiana released the wheelchair.
Charles found a quiet corner, looking at the mourning hall. Kevin’s photo was in the middle, surrounded by white chrysanthemums. There was only black and white in the hall, making people feel quite upset.
