Chapter: 652
Briar was William�s first love when he was twenty years old. However, the relationship had only lasted about three months before the man was dumped. William was quite persistent as well. After getting dumped by Briar, he tried everything to make her stay, even going as far as to threaten suicide�
After that, he locked his heart away and focused on his studies entirely, becoming quite the elite. It is said that he would take over his father�s family business in the future too.
It was completely normal for someone to have past relationships, but William�s past included Briar� which made Renee rather doubtful.
Unfortunately, as Renee was too focused on reading, she didn�t realize that she had walked into a dangerous zone..
The cemetery was rather remote. Not only were there large thickets around the area, the paths were quite rocky as well.
The thick smog enveloping the area could easily affect one�s sense of direction as well. If headed in the wrong direction, the forest would seem like a confusing maze, which would make the journey even more dangerous than it was.
Renee was completely immersed in her phone, wondering if she should tell Leia about William�s complicated past with Briar. Then, suddenly, she felt her entire body falling forward�
Renee screamed as she tumbled down a cliff. She hit her head on a large rock going down, and instantly faded into unconsciousness.
Meanwhile, Stefan and Briar had already arrived at the child�s tomb. A small gravestone stood there forlornly, with the baby�s name and death date engraved on it.
�Hi, baby! Mommy and Uncle Stefan are here to see you again. How are you feeling today? The weather�s getting kind of cold, so I prepared lots of warm clothes for you. Do you like them?� Briar mumbled as she knelt in front of the grave, placing some bags of clothes onto the ground.
Stefan was no longer feeling guilty, and instead looked slightly annoyed. However, knowing that Briar was mentally ill, he remained silent, allowing the woman to live in her delusions for now.
Under normal circumstances, a fetus wouldn�t be considered a person, and in their culture, those who set up a tomb for the unborn would be besieged by bad luck. However, this child was considered a special case, as it was the late Tristan and Briar�s only child.
Stefan had only agreed to bury the fetus after the woman�s constant begging. They had placed it in an expensive coffin, and found a powerful shaman to safely bury the child in this secluded area.
Stefan was starting to space out as Briar continued muttering in front of the grave. He would occasionally glanced at the cemetery entrance, his brow furrowed.
�Hmph, why isn�t that woman here yet? I left her only a mile away from this place, and the path is a straight one too. It shouldn�t take her more than twenty minutes to arrive, but it�s been over an hour!
Where is she?!�
Once Briar was finally finished, she looked up and asked, �Stef, where is Miss Everheart? I�m done talking to my baby now. Should we keep waiting for her?�
Stefan checked his wristwatch and replied tonelessly, �Let�s wait a little longer.�
They waited for another thirty minutes, but Renee was still nowhere to be found.
Briar wiped her tears, her voice quivering with sadness. �Let�s just go, Stef, I don�t think she�ll be coming anytime soon. I can tell that Miss Everheart doesn�t regret hurting me back then, nor does she think she is responsible for my child�s death.� JrNovels.com
