Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Being Latched Onto

The atmosphere in the villa wasn’t festive enough, so Nicole bought some decorative lights and hungthem up with Hayden to give the place a festive mood.

During the mid-winter holiday, the servants in the villa took three days off to go home and spend timewith their families.

There was a little nip in the air during the mid-winter holiday, but the weather today was especiallygood. The sun was shining high in the sky and making people feel lazy with its heat. Since they hadnothing else to do, Nicole took the opportunity of the good weather to take Hayden to her mother’sgrave.

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

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 somethingpleasant when you meet your grandma later.” Even though her mother had passed away, Nicolealways 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 brought last time were still placed on the gravestone when she and Haydenreached her mother’s grave. Surprisingly, there were fresh flowers placed on the gravestone. Who elsewould visit Mom’s grave other than me? Despite being puzzled deep down, Nicole didn’t think muchabout it. Laying the flowers in her hand on the gravestone, she whispered softly, “Mom, I’ve broughtyour grandson here to visit you. He’s four years old already. If you were still alive, you’d definitely likehim. This boy is smart.”

After Nicole finished her sentence, Hayden put down the flowers in his hand as well. Then, with astraight face, he said as if reciting a text during class, “Grandma, Mom has brought me here to visityou. I didn’t come to see you before because we’d been abroad. I was still little, and Mom said she wasworried. Now that I’m a little older, I’ve come 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 andNicole’s past.

The smile on Nicole’s face gradually deepened as she stood beside Hayden while listening to hiswords. 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 aboutto 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. Sheclenched Hayden’s hand, wanting to go past the person and leave, but Joseph stopped her. He quicklywent 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 forwhat he had said last time.

Seeing that Nicole wasn’t even willing to take a look at him, Joseph knew that he was very muchdisliked. However, upon recalling what Queenie had told him, he felt as though he had received a shotin the arm. After Queenie told him that Nicole’s mother’s grave was here, he came here right away andhad been waiting for Nicole for about a week. In order to please Nicole, he placed fresh flowers on hermother’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, heexplained what had happened last time, saying quickly, “Miss Anderson, I’m here to explain myself forwhat happened last time.” Who knows when the next opportunity will be if I don’t get to make myselfclear this time? he thought. He hurriedly explained, “I heard from Queenie last time that you were goingto marry my dad. It’s only been a few years since my mom passed away, so I couldn’t help but replacesuch 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 wasalso because of that that I was somewhat prejudiced against you. Now that I’ve learned the truth of thesituation, I just want to apologize to you.”
