Chapter 385 My Grandfather Is a Liar

• “Wait for me, Lauren. When I’ve settled everything, I’ll come and meet you in the afterlife!” Ethan smiled and said, “If you don’t want to see me, I’ll just wait until you change your mind. Okay?” He then pressed his lips against the photo, but as they came into contact with the cold tombstone, his heart felt a sting of pain. Soon, he noticed a white camelia placed before the tombstone, which he reckoned was left behind by Axel. Then, he suddenly recalled the moment when he first met Lauren on the lawn in the Collins Residence. At that time, she was sitting on a banyan tree with a yellowed book in her hand. After that, she haughtily said, “I’m the Young Lady of the Collins Family, and who are you?”
• Ethan then answered her by telling her his name before they both met each other’s gaze with a smile. All this feels like it only just happened yesterday, although it’s been ages ago. I was the one who turned my back on Lauren, and I finally understand the pain that she was going through now because death is not the most challenging part but grieving over the lost one is.
• As the sun shone on Lauren’s tombstone, half of Ethan’s face was covered by the shadows, whereupon tears soon rolled down his cheeks silently. Rest in peace, Lauren! Once I’m done, I’ll come and accompany you! Ethan curled his lips to form a bitter smile while looking at Lauren’s photo. Then, he suddenly shifted his eyes to the sky and laughed out loud. I had a lover and a child, but I was the one who got them both killed. Now, even my grandfather is a liar, but why? Why did he lie to me? If Lauren’s mother was the one who killed her father, I should be the one to decide whether I’d love or hate her. Why would he even do that?
