Flirting With My Ex-husband novel Chapter 949

It was the third time Scarlett had faced death. In the early morning hours, they were the only ones at the funeral home. Chloe's nieces and nephews were blocked out of the hospital by Chris's men. They didn't get into the funeral home. Without their noise, the funeral home was silent, with only the sound of the wind blowing.

Chloe had been wheeled in for cremation. Chris and Scarlett were waiting outside.

The corridor was long and vacant.

Secretary Emerson's suppressed sobs could be heard in the corridor.

Scarlett looked at Chris, who was standing there and lost in thought. His eyes were looking forward, and no one could know what he was thinking about.

Scarlett took his hand.

Then Chris looked down at her and asked," Are you feeling cold?"

Scarlett shook her head, "No, I'm fine."

After the short conversation, the two fell back into silence.

Time passed slowly. After forty minutes, Chloe was a pile of ashes.

Chris took his mother's urn. Then he drove back to Chloe's villa.

Chloe had wished before that she wanted the funeral to be simple and that all she needed was for her and her husband to be buried together.

The maids at Chloe's villa had almost all been dispersed, except for Lucy who had followed Chloe to the country.

When Lucy saw Chris return with his mother's urn, Lucy stood up and stared dumbfounded at the urn in Chris’ hands. After a long time, the old woman recovered to herself, "Mr. Wilson, please lay Ms.

Wilson down here."

Chloe had previously requested that the funeral be kept simple. Now Chris had taken her urn home. Before the burial, it was customary to light a candle in front of her urn.

Lucy had prepared it earlier. Chloe's black-and-white photo was taken two months ago. In the photo, the corners of her mouth were curled up with a smile, without a trace of sadness or fear of death.

Chris placed the urn in front of the photo. Lucy handed Chris the candle and said, " Mr. Wilson, you may light the candle for Ms. Wilson."

It was about 5 a.m., and Liechtho was still in the dark. Scarlett went out of the room after changing her clothes, but she found that Chris was not on the second floor.

Scarlett compressed her lips and went downstairs.

Chris was standing motionless in front of his mother’s urn.

Scarlett wanted to walk to him, but she stopped at the stairway. She did not walk up to him after all.

Chris might not have much affection for Chloe, but Chloe was his real mother after all and she didn’t abandon Chris on purpose.

If Chris had recovered his memory, perhaps he would still grieve for Chloe's death.

At about seven o’clock, it was getting light outside the window.

Scarlett woke up startled and found herself in bed. She didn't know how she had gotten into bed.

When she saw Chris standing motionless in front of Chloe's urn last night, she didn't bother him. She just sat quietly at the stairway, keeping his company.

Then she lost consciousness and fell asleep. But when she woke up, she found herself lying in bed.

Scarlett rubbed her temples. She groped for her phone and found it was 8 a m.

They were supposed to go to the cemetery at 9 a m. to bury Chloe together with her husband.

Scarlett hurriedly got up and washed up.

When she got out of the room, Lucy had made breakfast ready.
