Chapter 1689
Shirley stared at the calendar for a few moments, then she suddenly turned and left with a cold expression.
Madeline and Jeremy shared a look before shifting their gaze onto the calendar.
That day?
What day was Shirley referring to?
A cemetery in the city outskirts.
For nearly the entire afternoon, Adam had been sitting in front of a tombstone at which two individuals were laid to rest.
He initially had to go to the hospital for consultations in the afternoon, but this day was too special.
Adam sat alone on the edge of the railing in front of the tombstone. He quietly faced the tombstone and whispered with a smile.
“It’s been another year. Time passes so quickly. I had wanted to come here earlier, but my friend suddenly became unwell, so that delayed me for a bit.” Adam explained to the tombstone. “You must be disappointed, aren’t you? It’s still just me this year. My sister, she…”
“I’m here now, aren’t I?”
A sudden voice interrupted Adam mid-sentence.
He paused abruptly. He looked back in disbelief and saw Shirley walking with a carefree demeanor toward him in a beautiful coat.
Shirley leisurely approached him. She shifted her gaze from the white chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone, to the burning candles, and finally to the engraving on the tombstone before her. Her eyes grew icier the longer she looked at it.
“When did you came back?” Adam asked. They had just talked on the phone not long ago, and he still remembered Shirley’s cold attitude on the phone. He would never have thought that someone who had never asked after their parents for more than ten years would suddenly appear here.
