Chapter 1915

“What?” Before Ellen could react, Jared held her cheeks in his hands and kissed her lightly on the lips. He then let go of her face and purred, “I prefer such a way of expressing your gratitude”

Ellen’s face immediately flushed red. Just as Jared was about to leave, she summoned her courage and wrapped her arms around his neck in the spur of the moment. Going up on her toes, she gave him a peck on the cheek.

Jared’s eyes shone with happiness. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“I’m going on leave tomorrow,” Ellen responded as she blinked. That reminded Jared of her leave. With his eyes narrowed, he asked, “Why do you need a day off?”

“Tomorrow is my brother’s death anniversary. I’m going to visit his grave, Ellen answered. honestly.

“I’m free tomorrow. I’ll go with you!” Jared immediately offered, effectively startling Ellen.. “Do you really want to go with me?”

“Yes. I’ll go with you.’ Jared nodded and continued, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”

“Will that disrupt your work?’ she asked quickly. “Of course not!” He had decided that he would accompany her tomorrow since he didn’t want to miss such an important day for her.

“Okay. See you tomorrow, then.” Ellen was elated that Jared would be going with her to visit her brother.

She was the only one visiting Kevin’s grave all these years and had even planned to ask her future children-if she had any-to remember to visit Kevin’s grave every year as well.

Kevin’s grave was in a different place than her parent’s graves. Hence, Ellen would visit two different cemeteries every year. Starting next year, she would also have to visit her grandmother’s grave.

After entering the house and shutting the door, Ellen took a deep breath. Despite all the unhappy events that happened today, she had thought things through.

There weren’t so many things in the world that were worthy of her being depressed about. She had to live her life well and focus on loving those who deserved it, including herself.
