Rosiley cleared her mind of her sad thoughts as she nodded repeatedly. “Of course.”
She squatted down and placed the flowers he bought in front of the tombstone. Stretching her hand out, she caressed the photo on the tombstone, smiling. “Mother, I am here to visit you. I brought a man with me. He is called Sachin and is your son-in-law. How? Didn’t Chu’er make a great choice? He is an extremely outstanding fellow…”
When he listened to her murmuring at the side, Sachin’s eyes were calm as he accompanied her silently.
The two stayed there for two hours. It was not until 3 p. m. that Rosiley left while holding Sachin’s hand tightly.
On the way back, Rosiley was obviously still unhappy. Sachin put on a CD. Soft melodious music rang in the car, making one feel relaxed and comfortable.
After a long while, the car stopped in front of the Family. Sachin informed her softly, “We are here already.”
Rosiley nodded. “I’ll go in now.”
“OK, I will come and fetch you later.”
“OK.”
After saying her goodbyes to Sachin, Rosiley returned home. As she entered her house, she saw Rorey in the living room.
The eyes of the two met. Rosiley smiled mockingly while a hidden gloominess flashed across Rorey’s eyes.
“You are back?”
At this moment, Seneca discovered Rosiley as well. His fierce expression was now a little gentler.
“Erm,” Rosiley responded, completely ignoring Xenia Zhao next to her. She merely responded to Seneca, “I went to visit Mom.”
Seneca nodded and continued after hesitating for a while, “Later, I will visit her too.”
Rosiley was a little astonished as a complicated emotion was written on her face.
Her father had not visited her late mother in many years. That was one of the reasons why their relationship had deteriorated over all these years.
She did not expect him to tell her that he would visit her mother!
“I think Mom will be happy as long as no one stops you.”
After a while, Rosiley came to her senses. She glanced at Xenia Zhao beside her coldly and mocked.
Xenia Zhao’s face froze. Her hands tightened into fists as her eyes suppressed the anger within.
In all these years, she had done plenty of convincing next to Seneca in bed to gradually replace his late wife in his heart.
She didn’t expect Seneca to mention this matter after so many years.
Xenia Zhao took a deep breath and smiled with difficultly, an ugly smile plastered on her face. She said, “Let me prepare the offerings. I should be around when you visit sister!”
“What a good wife, Aunty Zhao.”
Rosiley smiled and complimented her sarcastically.
Xenia Zhao’s face was black with anger but she still had to smile. “Rosiley, what do you mean? After all, I am the mother of the Family. Such matters are what I should do.”
“You spoke so nicely but I do not know if you truly believe what you say. Perhaps you are even secretly laughing at the death of my mother.”
Rosiley’s words were harsh, completely neglecting the feelings of Xenia Zhao.
Xenia Zhao was angered by her remarks and slammed the table. “Rosiley, what exactly do you mean?”
“I mean nothing. I am merely telling the truth. There is no need to pretend to be kind in front of me. When you bullied me with your daughter, your devious methods were not so kind. It’s amusing that you even stated that such matters were what you should be doing.”
As she spoke, Rosiley’s face was full of disdain.
