Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 729

Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Kneel Down

Judith Pierce said, "Walker, your father is here."

Walker Grant lowered his head, his bangs falling naturally. He wore a black overcoat, his shoulders broad and his back straight. The coat’s clean, flowing lines made his figure appear even taller and more slender.

He tilted his head slightly, looked toward where Arthur Grant was sitting, and called out, "Dad."

Arthur Grant’s tone was exceptionally cold. "What are you two doing here?"

Judith Pierce said, "Julian was my son, and Walker’s older brother. Why shouldn’t we be here?"

Arthur Grant’s voice grew even colder. "Your presence will only disturb his rest."

Judith Pierce’s eyes reddened with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Arthur Grant, you miss Julian so much, but have you even gone to see Noah in all the days you’ve been back? He’s Julian’s only child! Do you have any idea how he’s doing right now?"

Arthur Grant picked up the liquor bottle and took a swig. The harsh, burning taste made him shut his eyes. It was as if the alcohol had numbed his nerves. After a long moment, he finally spoke. "I want to spend some time with my son first."

As the words fell, a light breeze drifted past. The chill that spread through the air only made the moment feel more heartbreaking and sorrowful.

Judith Pierce’s eyes grew red. "But Walker is your son, too..."

"Mom, don’t say any more," Walker Grant stopped her. He took a step forward and knelt directly in front of the gravestone.

He kept his head bowed, his hands resting on his knees. His voice was low, hoarse, and strained. "Brother, I failed you."

Tears instantly streamed down Judith Pierce’s face. She turned away, desperately trying to stifle her sobs.

Arthur Grant glanced at him, the coldness in his eyes wavering for an instant before quickly returning to a placid calm.

The wind in the cemetery was so cold it chilled you to the bone.

「It was evening by the time they returned to Jardinelle.」

The sky was still overcast, but the rain held off.
