Chapter 251 Return to the Courtyard

"He didn't show up on your parents' memorial day either, did he?" Ava said.Hearing this, Charlotte smiled bitterly. Indeed, that had just happened not long ago."What Griffith did was really out of line," Ava said.Charlotte was moved. "Ava, you're right.""But you have to go," Ava continued.Charlotte was confused."He might not be decent, but we can't compete with him to see who's worse. Putting aside everything else, you two are still legally married, living under the same roof, and you even once shared a bed."Ava cleared her throat and continued, "Even if you're just friends, since you know he's holding a memorial service for his late mother, attending is a matter of showing respect. If you didn't know, that'd be one thing, but it would be inappropriate if you did and chose not to go.""But if I go, he'll drive me out.""Then throw money in his face. Shatter his pride with your kindness!"Charlotte still had some reservations."If you expect something from him and feel

Chapter 252 To the Mountains

The drizzle became slightly heavier. Charlotte returned to her car to fetch some sausages to feed the dog. After several trips back and forth, her coat was covered in droplets. The old dog, Spike, remembered her house and walked her back. When they reached the door, he only left after seeing her open it.Charlotte felt a bit disappointed. She had finally encountered a familiar dog. The lock on the door of the old courtyard had been changed this year, and it was easy to open. As she entered, she switched on the lights. Fortunately, everything was still intact.The sun lamp her grandfather had installed years ago still hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire courtyard at night. However, with age, it had lost some of its luster. She lifted her head, and sure enough, the old berry tree was laden with ripe fruit in shades of purple and red, looking incredibly tempting.Feeling her heart warm, she ignored the rain and went to open the door of the main hall. The room was pitch-black

Chapter 253 You Can Throw It Away

Everything had just been set up inside the service hall, and the hall was lit with candles. Griffith was offering his prayers. Ash entered from outside but didn't want to interrupt Griffith. Only when he finished did Ash step forward.When Griffith heard his words, his face turned cold."Tell her to leave."Ash already knew he would say this. He held a potted violet in his arms, with the pot soaked in water, and his white shirt was stained."What about this flower?" he asked.Griffith glanced at it. He was about to tell him to discard the pot of violets. Ash casually glanced at the priest. The priest looked up and said, "Mr. Griffith, have you brought a guest this year?" Ash hastily replied, "It's Mr. Griffith's wife."Griffith frowned. The priest hesitated for a moment, and his tone became more cautious. It took him a while to say, "The rain outside is quite heavy."Griffith's face remained stern, seemingly indifferent to the flower. Ash wiped the flowerpot and placed it on t

Chapter 254 Griffith Knows How to Make Pasta

Charlotte had just turned the corner when Ash approached, holding a bag."I'm heading down the mountain now," she said.Ash handed her the bag and gestured towards the first room to the east, saying, "Go change your clothes in there."Charlotte opened the bag and guessed they were Julie's clothes. She glanced back at him.Ash said, "I'll talk to young master and buy you some time."Charlotte found it somewhat amusing. Did Ash think she was scared of Griffith? Frankly, she wasn't afraid. She was just caught in an awkward situation. She responded to his words and thanked him. Following Ash's indication, she found the room.Opening the door, she found a tidy single room. Worried about running into Griffith again, she hastened her actions. After Ash said he would look for her outside the room, he headed to the kitchen.Griffith had a lot of pent-up frustration from the previous night, so he decided to change into fresh clothes. Of course, he entered his room without knocking. Charlo

Chapter 255 Griffith Cooks Pasta

With Griffith's foul attitude, anyone would have left long ago. But not Charlotte. Today, she had come to the mountain with a calm heart, not wanting to quarrel with Griffith. Most importantly, she found that the more she argued, the stronger Griffith's retaliation. So, why not try a different approach? He couldn't hurt her, but she could make him uncomfortable."Can I have a bite of food and some water since I've offered my prayers?" Charlotte said.Griffith didn't expect her to have such thick skin. The verbal attacks he threw at her seemed to bounce right off. Just as he was about to mock her again, she stepped past him.She said, "I'll leave after eating."Ash stood at the corner, waiting. Without waiting for Griffith to come over, he led Charlotte toward the kitchen. Charlotte walked upright, ignoring the prickly gaze behind her.She crossed the threshold in the kitchen and glanced at the mess inside. The flour used earlier had not been cleaned up. She saw Ash standing outsid

Chapter 256 Lord of Hell's Kitchen

People lined up to get their bowls of pasta. Charlotte observed that everyone was quite conservative, trying to take as little as possible. The kind priest was the sneakiest of them all. He only took a single scoop of pasta and even pinched the only piece of vegetable.As a newcomer, Charlotte was seated next to Griffith. After all, she was Mrs. Griffith. She held her bowl and waited obediently. Only when everyone had already started eating did she pick up her spoon. Before taking a bite, she was very cautious, but she was still surprised when she tasted the pasta.It was so salty!She endured the discomfort and swallowed it down. When she looked up again, she saw that everyone had the same expressions, their cheeks taut and eyes hollow; they ate in large mouthfuls.It was clear they had experience. She sighed and asked Griffith, "Have you ever eaten this dish?"Griffith lit a cigarette and gave her a disdainful look. "Am I a guest?"Charlotte rephrased, "Have you tried it before

Chapter 257 A Small Memorial Hall

The rain continued to fall. Ash brought all the ingredients that Charlotte had requested into the kitchen. Charlotte inspected them and prepared to make several simple dishes.Griffith glanced at her."I'm making this for myself," she said calmly, adding, "I've already paid Ash for the ingredients."Griffith furrowed his brow but withdrew his gaze. Seeing that he didn't object, Charlotte let out a sigh of relief. They worked quietly for a while, each in their corner. When Charlotte finished preparing a dish, she placed them all on a tray.She made roasted chicken, a simple salad, pumpkin soup, and meatballs. Along with the berries she brought up the mountain, it was just enough to make a tableful.Griffith was busy preparing another batch of pasta the entire time, ignoring her. But he was well aware of what she was doing. Ash brought Julie with him. Upon seeing Charlotte, Julie's eyes lit up, and she was about to call out. Charlotte raised a finger to her lips, gesturing for her t

Chapter 258 Charlotte Feels Left Out

The clergy gave everyone a lit candle before the service began. Charlotte sat beside Griffith, the candle illuminating their dark eyes. She glanced at Griffith, who remained expressionless. Charlotte dared not let out a breath. The memorial hall was filled with flower arrangements and floral wreaths with a card on them. There was a particular flower arrangement that stood out among the rest in terms of its size. Charlotte guessed it might be from Katie. From the look of it, everyone, including Griffith's childhood friends and close acquaintances, knew it was the anniversary of his mother's passing.Even Charlotte's eldest cousin-sister, Madeline, who was overseas, had still offered a fresh floral wreath early that morning. Undoubtedly, it had been the same for the past three years.By comparison, Charlotte felt like an outsider, just like Griffith had been to her.After this would be dinner, followed by a nighttime commemorative event. They would have to attend them all. Back in t

Chapter 259 Your Mother Used to Like It

"Can I borrow that cushion?" she asked.Griffith withdrew his gaze and said, "Get it yourself."Charlotte let out a sigh of relief. Finally, they could talk properly. She went inside to get the cushion and sat down in the room instead of going outside. The clothes Ash had given her were too thin, and she had no coat. She felt cold.In the room, there was only the sound of paper. She copied Griffith's folding technique, and after a few failed attempts, she managed to fold a pretty decent-looking dove. Griffith glanced in her direction, somewhat surprised that she could catch up in such a short amount of time."I used to make origami a lot when I was a child. It takes things off your mind during troubled times," she said.Griffith withdrew his gaze. His attitude was relatively friendly. Upon closer thought, Charlotte found it amusing and poignant that the one thing she had in common with Griffith was that neither of them had parents. He had a father, but it was as good as not having

Chapter 260 The Reason She Stayed

The day was overcast, and it was ever gloomy outside. Charlotte made dinner before the night fell. She did not know how the nighttime commemorative service would go; it would probably be a long night for them.After dinner, Charlotte was called to the front of the main hall to light more candles. The temperature on the mountain was low, so the hall full of candles kept her fairly warm. She had to tiptoe to reach the candles on the higher end of the altar. Suddenly, she felt a tug in one of her calves, startling her. It was an early sign of cramps.She stepped back and bumped into Griffith. Turning her head, she met his gaze."Move.""I'm lighting the candles.""Can't you light the ones over there?"She shrugged and stepped aside.Griffith lit the remaining candles with ease. His face was cool, and the sea of candles highlighted the flames in his eyes. Even when he frowned, he didn't look as fierce. Charlotte sat at a nearby bench and stretched her legs a bit. She looked in Griff
