Chapter 627
Jerome pursed his lips and did not say anything else.
Spring came early in Salt City. After a few heavy downpours, several nts were beginning to
sprout.
Munchkin was beginning to have teeth. He started to enjoy biting things, putting everything that was
within reach into his mouth. Apart from the time he was sleeping, I would be watching after him
most of the time.
Xander was really efficient at handling things. In less than a week, he had already found a buyer
who was interested in buying the house.
Although house prices in Salt City did not skyrocket year after year, it was still a developed city. As
years passed, house prices had risen considerably. Coupled with the luxurious renovation and
complete furnishing, the price was bound to be much higher than when it was first purchased.
The buyer was serious about buying a house. Knowing that I was not nning to ask too much from
him, he decided to take the house.
It would take a few days to finish the handover procedure of the property. I had been nning to go
to the cemetery yet never managed to go. Therefore,
during the weekend, I drove to the cemetery because Jerome and Xander were both free and could
help keep an eye on the child.
It was nearly March now. The morning sun was not too ring. Perhaps because of the heavy dew,
I felt a little humid not long after I went out the door.
As it was very early, not many were at the cemetery. I walked on the stony path and paid my
respects to the deceased.
I stood in front of Mom’s tombstone, looking at the woman with a bright smile in the photo on the
tombstone. My eyes welled up with tears. "Mom, I seem to be living my life quite badly.”
After a pause, I continued, "Everybody''s gone and I''m all alone. I feel really lonely now."
I suppressed the pain in my heart and took a deep breath, not saying another word. The dead
should rest in peace while the living would continue living.
When I sensed another person’s presence behind me, my body stiffened slightly. I knew without
thinking that it was Theo.
I did not look back. After a very long time, I sighed, turned around without sparing him a nce, and
headed deeper into the cemetery.
We brushed past each other and he grabbed my wrist. I was momentarily stunned before shaking
off his hand. My expression was immensely indifferent with no indication of sorrow or delight. I
looked mildly at him and said, "It’s fine if you refuse to go through the divorce procedures. After
three years of separation, our marriage will be automatically dissolved.”
He pursed his lips, the color of his pupils was extremely dark. "Is there no turning hack?"
I lowered my gaze, concealing the emotions in my eyes. "You should''ve known that this day would
come when you lied to me."
He looked at me, his pupils were so deep that they could send shivers down one''s spine. "Do you
hate m e?"
“Theo..." I raised my head and smiled. "I don''t hate you, but that''s it."
Life was always full of twists and turns. I could onlyfort myself that this was a predestined twist
by the heavens and I must ept it. Only by thinking it that way could I face Theo so calmly.
I pulled our distance apart and did not look at his face again, only saying mildly, "If you ever had
even the slightest feelings for me, I beg you to please remember them and let go of our rtionship.
From now on, let''s part without hard feelings."

I turned around and walked out of the cemetery. When I got back to the residence, the sky was
already a little dark.
Before I opened the door, I heard voices from the inside. It was Petra.
Sure enough, I saw Petra and Grayson sitting in the living room when I opened the door. They were
coaxing and ying with Munchkin. When they saw me, they were first stunned, then sat straight
like children who had made a mistake.
