The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1819

Chapter 1819 It’s All Over

Then the urn was sealed. After that, they moved all the things they brought from the Morgan Residence to the incineration area before burning all of it. Even though the process was very troublesome, it felt really quick to be over. The things burned fast, and they were all reduced to ashes in just a short while. Finally, everyone got into the car and headed toward the cemetery.

When they arrived, the cemetery was also ready, and they listened to the priest’s instructions. Cindy stood not far away; she hadn't married into the family yet, so she didn't need to help. The priest made a long prayer, after which he finally asked Sean to put the urn in the tomb. Finally, they began to seal the tomb.

Cindy didn't share too close of a relationship with Bryce, seeing how they only had a few encounters, and her impression of him was not very good. So, she didn’t really care whether Bryce was alive or dead. Previously, the only reason she felt a little forlorn was because Bryce reminded her of her father.

But now, watching the priest seal the tomb, Cindy suddenly felt sad. Our final destination is that small tomb. It was rather depressing to think about.

It took a little longer to seal the tomb, so Ian, Sean, and Sally watched from the side. Then the housekeeper brought some helpers to place flowers upon the tomb.

Cindy turned around and looked at the tombstones in the cemetery. Hospitals and cemeteries, in general, made her feel very uncomfortable.

While praying, the priest sealed the tomb, then lit candles before it. With that done, he had Sean, Ian, and Sally bow in front of the tombstone. The entire process was quite formal.

After all of this was done, the group began to leave the cemetery. Sally was carrying a jug of holy water, and she sprinkled it all the way from the cemetery to the outside. As Cindy didn't understand the process very well, she just followed Ian back to the car.

Soon, Ian breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the car. "Finally, it's all over."

Hearing that, Cindy went over to pull his hand over and squeezed it hard. "It will be alright in the future."

Ian nodded and smiled, then started the car. He followed Sean's car and drove back to the old house. As Leah probably wanted to continue her act, she didn't come downstairs. When Sally returned to the house, she went upstairs to see Leah, but she came down after a while, saying that Leah had taken her medicine and had fallen asleep. Nobody knew if this was true, but Sean didn’t really want to care about it.

Then, Ian and Sean sat on the sofa, after which Ian talked about the tickets he had booked for a flight leaving tomorrow. Sean nodded and said, "I think the media was there just now and have already taken pictures of us. I'll hire some people to put this matter to an end, and then you should be able to start anew.”

However, Ian was not very concerned about the news now. Sometimes it was impossible to turn the tide in one’s favor, so he was satisfied as long as most people believed in him. Nevertheless, he still nodded and thanked Sean.

Hearing Ian thanking him, Sean waved his hand with a smile. "No need. I have selfish intentions too, and it’s not all for your sake."

Sean had always been like this; he was a straightforward person who didn’t bother to lie. Thus, Ian did not have anything against him. After a moment, Ian hesitated and asked, "Would you like to have a meal together tonight? I’ll be leaving tomorrow."

Sean paused, then asked him, "Who is coming?"

Ian told the truth—Logan, John, and Sophia should be there. Sean didn't have a particularly good relationship with these people, and he wasn't very familiar with them. He paused and didn't agree immediately, but he didn't refuse either. "Let's see later. I'll see what’s left to wrap up here first, and if there's enough time, I'll contact you."

Ian nodded, then turned his gaze and looked around. The living room had been tidied up, and except for the sofa where they were sitting, the rest of the place was covered with dust covers.
