Chapter 46


    Chapter 46 Being Latched Onto


    The atmosphere in the vi wasn’t festive enough, so Nicole bought some decorative lights and hung


    them up with Hayden to give the ce a festive mood.


    During the mid-winter holiday, the servants in the vi took three days off to go home and spend time


    with their families.


    There was a little nip in the air during the mid-winter holiday, but the weather today was especially


    good. The sun was shining high in the sky and making people feelzy with its heat. Since they had


    nothing else to do, Nicole took the opportunity of the good weather to take Hayden to her mother’s


    grave.


    Everyone was in a joyous spirit during the mid-winter holiday, so the graveyard was quiet with very few


    visitors.


    Taking her son to the graveyard for the first time, Nicole drove up to the foot of the graveyard.


    Straightening Hayden’s clothes carefully, she took his hand and said, “Remember to say something


    pleasant when you meet your grandmater.” Even though her mother had passed away, Nicole


    always believed that she could hear them on the other side.


    Hayden nodded obediently and walked forward in small steps while holding Nicole’s hand.


    The flowers Nicole had broughtst time were still ced on the gravestone when she and Hayden


    reached her mother’s grave. Surprisingly, there were fresh flowers ced on the gravestone. Who else


    would visit Mom’s grave other than me? Despite being puzzled deep down, Nicole didn’t think much


    about it. Laying the flowers in her hand on the gravestone, she whispered softly, “Mom, I’ve brought


    your grandson here to visit you. He’s four years old already. If you were still alive, you’d definitely like


    him. This boy is smart.”


    After Nicole finished her sentence, Hayden put down the flowers in his hand as well. Then, with a


    straight face, he said as if reciting a text during ss, “Grandma, Mom has brought me here to visit


    you. I didn’te to see you before because we’d been abroad. I was still little, and Mom said she was


    worried. Now that I’m a little older, I’vee to see you right away.”


    Upon listening to Hayden’s words, Nicole couldn’t help but smile.


    Hayden sounded very serious as he spoke to Nicole’s mother’s grave, recounting every bit of his and


    Nicole’s past.

    The smile on Nicole’s face gradually deepened as she stood beside Hayden while listening to his


    words. She never thought that her son had always remembered these things.


    After Hayden finished his speech, he and Nicole bowed to the grave. However, just as they were about


    to leave, they bumped head-on into a man.


    The smile on Nicole’s face vanished at once when she saw who the person before her was. She


    clenched Hayden’s hand, wanting to go past the person and leave, but Joseph stopped her. He quickly


    went up to Nicole, saying, “What a coincidence, Miss Nicole.”


    Nicole didn’t hold back her annoyance toward Joseph. After all, she never thought of forgiving him for


    what he had saidst time.


    Seeing that Nicole wasn’t even willing to take a look at him, Joseph knew that he was very much


    disliked. However, upon recalling what Queenie had told him, he felt as though he had received a shot


    in the arm. After Queenie told him that Nicole’s mother’s grave was here, he came here right away and


    had been waiting for Nicole for about a week. In order to please Nicole, he ced fresh flowers on her


    mother’s gravestone every single day so that he could speak to Nicole when she came.


    Seeing that Nicole wanted to leave, Joseph hurriedly stepped forward and blocked her path. First, he


    exined what had happenedst time, saying quickly, “Miss Anderson, I’m here to exin myself for


    what happenedst time.” Who knows when the next opportunity will be if I don’t get to make myself


    clear this time? he thought. He hurriedly exined, “I heard from Queeniest time that you were going


    to marry my dad. It’s only been a few years since my mom passed away, so I couldn’t help but find


    such a prospect off-putting, which was why I said something harsh.”


    Nicole stopped in her tracks. Well, these words at least sound reasonable.


    Seeing that Nicole was visibly moved, Joseph immediately struck while the iron was hot, saying, “It was


    also because of that that I was somewhat prejudiced against you. Now that I’ve learned the truth of the


    situation, I just want to apologize to you.”
