Chapter 1322
“Right isn’t it?” Emily retorted
Seeing them about to get into another argument Comelia quickly intervened, “Let’s go, breakfast time.”
After breakfast Comelia started the prayer ritual as arranged by the Duran family.
Before Grandpa Augustine had told her this time’s ritual would be less tedious than before. Cornelia thought it wouldn’t be so tiring. But she didn’t realize, even with fewer steps, the ritual was still quite a hassie. She was busy all day long, and by the afternoon, she was pooped, especially her swollen feet.
Yet the commony was far from over. According to the Duran tradition, Comelia couldn’t go home tonight. She had to stay in the house where the ceremony was held, supposedly to listen to the wisdom of the ancestors
Even though no one usually lived here, someone was always taking care of the place year–round. Each room was kept tidy and clean.
Grandpa Augustine’s room was in the east courtyard. He had always hoped his wife and children would come back, so their rooms were kept as they were, including the rooms of his grandchildren. So, Comelia’s room was all ready
The place was great with servants around. Cornelia didn’t believe in ghosts, so even if everyone else went home and she was the only one here, she wouldn’t be scared.
Before going to bed Comelia took the ointment to apply it, but with her huge belly, she had a hard time bending over. So, she sat on the bed, slowly applying the ointment. After applying it, Cornelia half–laid on the bed picked up a storybook, and started to tell a story quietly.
