Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551

Drizzle began falling from the somber sky.

The candle flame danced along to the cold breeze.

Olivia wiped the raindrop off her face, muttering, “Mona, is that you?”

Two drops of rain landed beneath Mona’s eyes on the picture, making it seem as though she was crying.

It broke Olivia’s heart to see that.

She caressed the gravestone. “Don’t worry, Mona. I will take good care of your family. They are my family from now onward.

“Please rest in peace. In your next life … Find a better person in your next life.”

The drizzle showered the whole village after the funeral.

Instead of leaving immediately, she went to Mona’s old residence.

It had been a while since Mona’s family moved to a big city. They would only return to their hometown during festive days like New Year’s, so the house was usually empty.

The house seemed to be shabby. The apple tree and grapevine trellis stood in the rain, seeped with loneliness.

Olivia stood below the grapevine trellis. She could imagine an adorable girl eating apples on a hot summer evening. The little girl waved a fan while listening to the story of Orpheus and Eurydice from an older person.

“This is Mona’s favorite grape. It’s a pity that she can’t have them anymore,” Allen recounted Mona’s past story while standing beside Olivia.

Olivia was listening to him attentively. There was a smile across her lips occasionally. “She sure is a mischievous kid.”

“Yeah, she’s the most mischievous kid in this village. But she scores academically. That was why we moved to the city. Our parents worked hard to feed us. We thought that good days were ahead of us. Who knew…”

She looked at his red eyes and patted his shoulder. “Don’t cry. I’m your sister from now onward. Study hard. Don’t disappoint

her.”

“Okay.”

Olivia officially introduced herself to Mona’s family. Since it was getting late, she decided to crash at the place for a night before leaving.

She slept in Mona’s room.
