His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 598

On a day shrouded in a veil of misty gray, a gentle rain began to fall from dawn, painting the world with a somber wash of silver.

Yet, such weather seemed most fitting for a visit to the cemetery, to pay respects to those who had departed.

Evadne and Thaddeus found themselves once again at the grave of Cynthia. The couple busied themselves with laying flowers and tidying the site, their actions as heartfelt as if they were preparing for a Sunday roast with the matriarch herself.

Though she lay in eternal rest, the loving care and deep remembrance from her son and daughter-in-law surely meant she was not lonely in her slumber.

"Mom, Evadne and I have finally avenged you. Elspeth has been sentenced to death. The twenty-year-old injustice has at last drawn to a close," Thaddeus spoke to the gravestone, gripping Evadne's hand tightly. "The mills of God grind slowly but exceedingly fine. Mom, may you rest in peace forevermore."

The pair bowed deeply before the headstone.

Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps broke the stillness.

"It's Grandpa!" Evadne turned, her face instantly brightening with joy.

Thaddeus's eyes narrowed.

Just a few paces away, Hamilton sat in his wheelchair, pushed by Murray to join them.

Resting quietly on his lap was a bouquet of pristine white lilies, Cynthia's favorite. When she was alive, the Windermere Estate was never without fresh lilies, each one tenderly cared for by her hands.

Even Hamilton, as her father-in-law, knew of Cynthia's preferences, whereas Frederic, her own husband, seemed oblivious.

The irony was not lost on them.

"Mr. Hamilton, let me help you up," Murray began, but Hamilton firmly placed his hands on the armrests of his wheelchair and stood up on his own.

Thaddeus and Evadne exchanged surprised glances but relaxed upon seeing the old man stand steadily.

With a dignified air, Hamilton approached holding the lilies and looked at Thaddeus with a kind gaze. "Do you mind if I pay my respects to your mother?"

Thaddeus shook his head slightly, his breath catching.

Evadne bit her lip, visibly moved to the brink of tears.

In recent years, Hamilton's health had declined, and he had almost always attended important events in his wheelchair. But now, to honor Thaddeus's mother, he had made the exceptional effort to stand before her grave.
