Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke) novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462 New Clues 

Back in my home, my cat had turned into a fluffy ball of fur over the winter, resembling an adorable 

mascot. 

With no one around to distract me, I took a shower and relaxed on the couch, scrolling through my iPad. 

“Carl, there are so many wedding dress designs! Each one is more stunning than the last–I can’t believe how gorgeous they all are.” 

Without lifting his gaze, Carter continued trimming my toenails. “Just go with the one you love. Don’t worry about the cost–I’ve got it covered.” 

He wasn’t exaggerating. Between Carter’s wealth and Bi–my current father–being exceptionally generous over the years, money was the least of our concerns. 

Not to mention the stash of gold bars hidden under my bed. Even if we never lifted a finger, there was enough for several lifetimes. 

“But I’m just one person. I can’t wear all of them at once,” I said with a laugh. 

“Then choose the features you like most. I’ll have a designer create a custom gown 

for you.” 

“What about you? What’s your preference?” 

After a moment’s thought, he answered seriously, “A traditional dress. I want us to honor the old customs, complete with all the ceremonies and rituals. I’ll shower you with betrothal gifts and see you in a pink wedding dress.” 

My eyes sparkled. “Are you suggesting a vintage–style wedding?” 

He nodded. “That’s right. But it’s just what I think. It’s our only wedding, so I want it to reflect what truly want.” 

“This is our wedding,” I said, moving closer to him. “How can your opinion not be important?” 

I hesitated before asking, “Is it because I once wore a white wedding dress when I married Luke?”

“It’s not just that. It’s also because you were in a white dress stained with blood. That memory bothers me deeply. And … 

” 

He trailed off as he finished trimming my last nail, then wiped his hands with a damp towel in an unhurried way. 

“I once promised you that I would marry you when I came back,” he said, a wistfulness in his voice, the kind only we could understand. 

I intertwined my fingers with his. “Alright then. I’ll wear the pink wedding dress and marry you properly.” 

A traditional–style wedding was far more intricate and costly than a modern one. But how often did someone get the chance to marry? 

In my previous life, I had waited endlessly, only to never be with the one I loved.

Our eyes met, and my breath caught. I tilted my head up toward him. “Carl

The next morning, I woke up sore all over, only to find that Carter had already left for work. 

Soon after, Whitney called, asking me to come over. Since she didn’t have many friends here, I happily agreed and drove to the Sander residénce. 

To my surprise, Luke was there. 

I hadn’t known he had returned since we last parted ways in Jaford. He stood in my room, tall and imposing, his hand brushing lightly against an old photo of us. 

Whitney explained, “He said he wanted to take some of your belongings with him.” 

She must have overheard bits about Luke from our past conversations and likely called me over to avoid any awkwardness between us. 

Luke turned to me, holding the photo frame. His eyes were slightly red as he asked, “Chloe, can I keep this photo? 

“Go ahead. I was planning to throw it away anyway.” 

The memories tied to the Sanders–and to him–no longer held any value to me. 

I added, “By the way, Carter and I are planning our wedding.” 

I felt it was only fair to let him know, given our history. 

Luke’s hands trembled as he clutched the frame. “That’s … good. I’m happy for you” 

As he walked past me, I noticed the streaks of white in his hair that hadn’t been there before. 

“Luke, we can’t go back to the past. It’s time to move on 

He shook his head, his voice breaking. “Move on? Chloe, every time I close my eyes, I only see you.” 

He murmured, his figure unsteady as if he might crumble at any moment, “This is all my fault. I deserve everything that’s happened.” 

With that, he staggered away, leaving Whitney and me in silence. 

Whitney watched him thoughtfully before turning back to me. 

“So, what’s next for you?” I asked. “Are you going to go to the countryside with them?” 

She shook her head firmly. “No, I don’t want to live an ordinary life. I might not have gone to school, but Taylor arranged for private tutors, so I’ve learned a lot. Still, I’ve been disconnected from the world for 20 years. I want to take some refresher courses and continue my education.” 

From the way Whitney handled things in the car, it was clear she had a resilient and determined spirit, far from the delicate image she sometimes gave off. 

I felt genuinely glad to see her bounce back and start rebuilding her life so quickly.

“That’s great,” I said. “I won’t worry about you then.”

“Don’t worry, Chloe,” she replied with a small smile. “I live my life well and make myself proud.” 

“What about the drug?” 

“I won’t take it,” she said firmly. “I don’t want to erase those memories. Those 20 years remind me every day to live my best life moving forward.” 

I smiled in relief. “You’re incredible.” 

Just then, her phone rang. After answering, she turned to me. “Chloe, Greg discovered something in Grandma’s things. Let’s go check it out.” 

“Okay.” 

When we arrived at Grandma’s old house, we found her worship altar filled with items like beaded bracelets, religious statues, and a Bible. 

Kate retrieved a small sandalwood box. “There are some letters here.” 

The papers, though slightly yellowed, had been preserved well and looked quite old.
