My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372 

When Grace finished work at the restaurant, she said to Kyla Corbyn, her lady boss, “Kyla, may I take tomorrow afternoon off? I wish to visit my mother’s grave and pay homage.” 

Although the following day was Tomb Sweeping Day, a 

national holiday, holidays often meant that restaurants would 

be packed. Naturally, restaurant workers were usually not 

allowed to take leave on national holidays. 

Kyla Corbyn was quite shocked that Grace’s mother had passed away. Hence, she said, “Okay, no problem. Since 

you’re going in the afternoon, ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes for you to bring to the grave as an offering.” 

“Thanks but it’s alright. I will prepare them myself.” Grace wanted to cook the dishes for her mother herself. 

When Grace’s mother was still alive, she was still a young 

child. Now that Grace had become an adult and knew how to cook, she wanted to show her skills to her mother. 

“Then I shall go home now,” Grace said. 

“Okay.” Kyla Corbyn seemed to have something that she 

wanted to say, but she kept it to herself in the end. 

‘Since Grace said that she isn’t close with Brian, there is no 

need for me to drag Grace into this. As for Brian, I’ll just have 

to make a visit when the time comes. 

After Grace left the restaurant, she did not return immediately 

to the Reed Residence. Instead, she went to the supermarket and bought some fish, meat, and vegetables. She then rode her electric bike to a shop that sold prayer items. 

“Granny Fan, please get me the usual three sets of incense sticks and ingots.” Grace said to the old lady who was well over 80 years and was sitting inside the shop. Each year, 

before Grace went to the grave to offer her mother prayers and offerings, she would come to the same shop to buy the same things. This of course was an exception for when she 

was serving her sentence. 

“It’s Grace. You’re going to the grave tomorrow.” Granny Fan flashed an almost toothless smile at Grace. 

“Yes, it’s me,” Grace responded. 

“You’re going to cook a delicious meal for your mother again.” Granny Fan made small talk with Grace as she packed the latter’s items. “You never came in the past 2 to 3 years to buy these items. I was just wondering if you’d come this year.” 

“Before this… um… I had a few matters that prevented me 

from coming here.” Grace replied as she took the items from Granny Fan. 

“It has been so many years, your mother must be resting in 

peace knowing she has such a filial daughter.” 

‘Filial?’ Grace mocked herself internally. ‘How unfortunate. I couldn’t even keep the photo album that my mother 

treasured. 

‘Now… even if I wanted to be filial to my mother, I no longer have the opportunity. All I can do now is keep my mother’s grave clean.’
