Chapter 308: The Leisure Times in the HL Area 1
rie Bear had grown a lot taller, and now she enjoyed the adults holding her and dancing.
Alex was always an efficient person. In less than a few days, he had found a buyer for the YT
Apartment.
When | bought my ce at the YT Apartment, the price was not high. But the expenses for the
decoration and furniture cost a lot.
The buyer paid readily and fast. Although | was in a hurry to sell, they did not negotiate the price. They
paid me the same amount as the market price.
It would take some days to process housing paperwork. | had nned to visit the cemetery to see my
grandmother and Grandpa Freddy, but | never
had time.
So, on the weekend, | went out early in the morning. rie Bear was too young to be taken to the
cemetery.
| drove to the cemetery by myself instead.
It was almost March, the sunshine was not that dazzling in the morning. Maybe because of the rain, the
dew was rtively heavy.
It was too early, and there were not many people here at the cemetery. | stepped on the blue-stone
bs and worshiped the deceased people | cared
about one by one.
| stood in front of my grandmother''s tombstone, looking at the faded photos on the tombstone, | was in
a trance for along time.
“Grandma, | seem to have screwed up my life. You all were gone, and | am all myself now. Can you
please take care of my baby for me in heaven...”
Suppressing the pain inside my heart, | took a breath and said no more. The dead rested in peace, and
the living would in peace.
When | noticed there was someone behind me, | froze slightly. But | didn’t even need to think hard to
figure out that it was Dennis.
| didn’t look back. After a long time, | sighed, turned around, and walked out of the cemetery without
looking at him.
Passing by, my wrist was pulled by him. | was stunned, but just for a moment. | then shook off his hand.
With a very light expression, almost no sorrow
or joy, | looked at him calmly and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to sign on the divorce
N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
agreement. After a three-year separation, our divorce
will automatically be legitimate anyway.”
He pursed his lips, his eyes were extremely low, “Is there no turning back?”
| lowered my eyes, collected my emotions, looked up at him, and smiled, “When you lied to me, you
should have seen that we would end up like this.”
Dennis looked at me, and his eyes were chillingly deep, “Do you hate me?”
| smiled lightly, and said, “Dennis, | don’t hate you.
All that’s all I feel - I don’t hate you at all.”
New beginnings were just around the corner.
I distanced myself from him, and I didn’t look at his face again. I said lightly, “If you have ever fallen for
me, even just for a
moment, then, Dennis, please set each other free. It''s just all for the best.”
I turned around and left the cemetery. When I returned to the YT Apartment, the sky was a little dark
already.
Before opening the door, I could hear Luna’s voiceing from the inside.
I opened the door.
Sure enough, Luna and Samuel were sitting in the living room, teasing rie Bear. When they saw me,
they both froze for a
moment and sat up straight, a bit like two children who had made mistakes.
“You... You are back!” Luna said, looking a little nervous. Her facial expression wasplicated.
I pursed my lips and nodded lightly. Seeing that Alex and Luis were not around, I asked, “Did they go
out?”
“No!” Luna said, “Mr. Thomson is in the baby’s nursery, and Luis is out shopping.”
I nodded and didn’t say anything else.
When rie Bear saw me, she stretched out her hand for my hugs. So I held her and sat on the couch.
Luna and Samuel looked at each other with mixed looks.
It seemed that they had something to tell me. But I didn’t ask any questions, just teasing rie Bear.
After a while, probably because Luna was unable to stand the silent atmosphere, she decided to speak
up. Luna looked at me
and said, “I heard from Luis that you and Mr. George are getting a divorce?”
I nodded, “Mhm-hmm.” And I said nothing else.
I was stunned briefly, not sure what to say for a while.
However, Samuel spoke with a bit of sullen anger, “You''ll be better off leaving him. Dennis’s devious
mind would eventually ruin
our family, sooner orter.”
Luna frowned slightly, not knowing what to say for a while. She then looked at me, and sighed slightly,
“What’s your n in the
future?”
I pursed my lips, “What would you two like to tell me? Can you please stop beating around the bush
and tell me
straightforwardly instead?”
Luna and Samuel were stunned for a moment, then they looked at each other. Afterward, they looked
at me and said, “ra,
have you found out that your DNA and Olivia’s were swapped?”
I looked at the two of them, “I have. But the two of you should know better than me. I grew up with my
grandmother since I
was little. And after all these years, I have never thought about finding my birth parents. Since you
abandoned me, I’ve
decided not to acknowledge your two''s identities for the rest of my life.”
After a pause, seeing Luna bowing her head and wiping her tears, I took a breath and said, “Besides,
so many things have
happened in the past year. All I could do is not to hate you or to me you. So in the future, we could
stay out of each other''s
lives and mind our own business.”
Luna’s eyes were already red, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes, “Sweetie, it’s all my fault.
You have every right to
hate us, as your mother, Ipletely understand. But you can’t deny us as your birth parents, after all,
I carried you for nine
months. I know I made a terrible mistake. I did make an irrational decision, but I never meant to hurt
you at all? Please know
that!”
“So, are you saying that since you''ve swapped me with Olivia, as long as it’s not your own kid, you
could hurt her recklessly? At
some point, we all have some grievances with others.” I suppressed my emotions. “If you have to
ruthlessly kill everyone who
has a grievance with you, what will happen to all of us?”
‘I was wrong!” Luna said tearfully, “I have never stopped thinking about all these.
I’ve made too many mistakes along my way these years. I know karma will eventuallye at me, and
this is the bitter fruit!”
Samuel’s face was a little gloomy. He pulled Luna into his arms, patted her back gently, and helplessly
there. These are all over, now.”
After a pause, Samuel looked at me and frowned, “Kid, I understand how you feel. If you don’t want to
go back to the Lewis
family, we won''t force you to. But we are your parents, we would never want to see our daughter suffer
outside.”
Samuel then took out a ck Card from his suit, “Take this, please. You are the daughter of the Lewis
family, no matter where
you are in the future, you must take care of yourself well. This card has no spending limits. We will not
interfere with how you''ll
live your life, but please always treat yourself well.”
Luna looked at him, a little bewildered, “What are you doing? Where would she go to now? She is
divorcing Dennis. She has no
one on her side now but only us! She should stay with us, so I can take care of her. Besides, she has to
take care of rie
Bear now, she won’t get by on her own.”
Samuel sighed, “She has her own ns. We have missed out on so much of our life. Don’t involve her
in the Lewis family. She
has the right to choose her own life.”
Luna was stunned for a while and remained silent for a long time. Eventually, she nodded lightly and
looked at me with red
eyes, “ra, you are outside alone. Take care of yourself, and you are always wee toe back
anytime you want"
