Eternal Pledge Where Mountains Touch the Sky novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

After the sky burial was complete, everyone departed. 

The vultures had long since flown away, leaving only a few scattered feathers and a faint metallic scent on the burial platform. 

Aurelia’s remains had been consumed entirely, as if she had never existed in this world. 

The burial master’s words still echoed in his ears “The deceased was a pure soul in life. Her spirit will 

ascend to heaven.” 

A pure soul? How could such a woman possibly be considered pure? Yet the sky burial master’s assessment lodged like a thorn in his heart. 

The assistant hesitated for a long time, struggling with whether to investigate further into what had happened years ago. Just as he was about to make a call, his phone rang. 

It was Nolan. 

“Your leave is about up. Are you back yet?” Nolan’s voice remained cool, carrying an undeniable 

authority. 

The assistant hesitated briefly before answering, “I’m returning immediately, boss.” 

Nolan made a sound of acknowledgment before continuing, “I’ve decided to postpone the wedding for some time. The invitations and venue will need to be rearranged. This time, I want something more 

spectacular.” 

The assistant’s heart skipped a beat. The wedding was postponed? 

He instinctively asked, “Sir, you’re not proceeding with the wedding right away? Will it be delayed for a significant period?” 

for 

Nolan was silent for a moment, his tone tinged with impatience when he finally spoke. “Evangeline hasn’t fully recovered. A postponement will be better for her health. Return quickly and make arrangem the new wedding plans.” 

The assistant nodded, though something felt off. 

Though Nolan’s tone was cool, the assistant detected something unusual in it. Could Nolan still love 

Aurelia? 

After hanging up, the assistant took one final look at the sky, sighing inwardly.

He knew he had no reason to continge redigating, 

Aurelia was gone, and her secrets were buried forever beneath these snow capped momedios 

He turned and left the burial platform, beginning his journey back 

Upon returning to North Kingston, the assistant immediately went to Solan’s estate. 

Nolan and Evangeline were in the living room discussing wedding detalh 

Evangeline’s face glowed with a sweet smile while Nolan occasionally nodded in response to her suggestions. 

“You’re back,” Evangeline greeted the assistant with a smile. “Nolan and I were just discussing the wedding. Do you have any suggestions?” 

The assistant shook his head, responding respectfully, “Miss Winters, whatever you and Mr. Creed decide will be fine. I’ll support you fully.” 

Evangeline nodded with satisfaction and enthusiastically began listing her requirements“We need to choose a new venue, preferably by the sea–I love the romantic atmosphere there. The wedding dress needs redesigning too; I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the previous one. And we should revise the guest 

list–I’d like to invite some friends…” 

The assistant diligently recorded her requests, though his mind was elsewhere. 

His gaze occasionally drifted to Nolan, who, despite sitting beside Evangeline, seemed distant, not fully engaged in the wedding discussion. 

“Nolan, do you have any preferences?” Evangeline suddenly turned to him with a smile. 

Nolan snapped back to attention and stated flatly, “December 10th is an perfect day. We’ll hold the wedding then. 

Both Evangeline and the assistant were taken aback.The date Nolan specified was three months away. 

“Three months from now?” Evangeline frowned slightly in displeasure. “Why wait so long? We could 

choose a closer date.” 

Nolan gave her a level look, his tone calm but brooking no argument “That day is particularly auspicious. Having the wedding then will be better for us. Besides, your body needs time to recover–there’s no rush.” 

Evangeline’s expression soured, but she forced a smile and didn’t insist. 

She turned to the assistant and asked, “What do you think?”

The woodstand fit a wave of tendra, aware that Holes’s derition was final, but also noting Evangeline’s 

dissatisfaction 

He carefully responded, “Mr. Creed surely hat his reasons. I’ll arrange everything according to his 

instructions,” 

Evangeline said nothing more, though her expression remained donded. 

She changed the subject“What about our honeymoon? Where shall we go? I’m thinking the Maldives, or perhaps Paris would be nice,” 

Nolan shook his head, his tone dismissive. “Those places are too common, not particularly interesting” 

Evangeline pouted slightly. “Then where would you like to go?” 

After a moment of silence, Nolan replied slowly “Tibet.” 

The assistant’s heart seized, nearly dropping his pen. 

Tibet? Why would Nolan want to go to Tibet? 

And Aurelia–why had she chosen to have a sky burial in Tibet? 

Could it have been some agreement between them from the past? 

Evangeline, oblivious to the assistant’s reaction, frowned and said reluctantly, “Tibet? What’s there to see? It’s cold and desolate–I don’t want to go.”
