Female Novel
Chapter 286
Thomas let out a sigh. He decided that he wouldn’t place the cremains of Chloe’s mother back in thecemetery. Instead, he would find a nicer place and bury the urn.
Soon, he arrived at the apartment and entered the rented house with the urn.
As soon as he stepped inside, Adam approached him with agitation. He extended his wrinkled handsand touched the urn, tears already sliding down his face. “You’re finally back, my wife.”
Although his hands were coarse, he was gentle. It was as if he was touching the skin of the woman heloved instead of a cold, hard urn.
Two minutes later, he finally calmed down. He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, “Show it toChloe. She is still confining herself to her room.”
Thomas nodded and walked toward Chloe’s room.
The door opened with a creak, and all he could see was darkness. The curtains were drawn, and thelights were off. As such, he couldn’t see anything in the room.
With the help of the light coming from the living room, he walked toward the windows and opened thecurtains.
In an instant, the room was filled with dazzling sunlight. It was as if the light dawned on this place aftera storm.
Chloe subconsciously covered her eyes, for she wasn’t used to the sunlight.
Without a word, Thomas stood there with the urn in his hands, waiting for the woman to get used to thesunlight.
A minute later, Chloe lowered her hands after adapting to the sunlight. She couldn’t remember howmany days she had been living in the darkness.
When she caught sight of the urn in Thomas’ hands, she agitatedly leaped out of the bed and dashedtoward the man before she took the urn and bawled her eyes out.
With the urn in her hands, she fell to her bottom and cried out at the top of her lungs, “Mom!”
Thomas couldn’t help but tremble, for he knew this moment was important to Chloe. She could finallyput down the burden that had been pressuring her for days. All her feelings were conveyed through hercries.
Following a sigh, Thomas turned around and left the room. He wasn’t a good talker in the first place, sohe didn’t know how to placate Chloe. Therefore, he decided to leave the room to give her some space.
Meanwhile, Adam was seen holding a string of beads. It seemed that he was ready to pray for hisdeceased wife.
“Mr. Hahn, I’ve decided not to place the urn in the cemetery. I’ll be looking for a better place over thenext few days. When I find one, we’ll bury the urn.”
“Sure. Thanks for the help, Thomas.” Adam’s eyes were red as he nodded.
For the rest of the day, Thomas stayed in the rented house to keep Adam and Chloe company. Itwasn’t until 6.00PM that he left the house and headed to Keyshire Property.
The moment he passed through the entrance, he heard something fall to the floor. He turned aroundand saw Molly standing near the entrance, and there were some documents in front of her.
Earlier, she had been carrying some documents, ready to return to the office. However, before sheeven reached the elevator, she saw her dream man, Thomas. As such, she became excited and
accidentally dropped the files.novelbin
Thomas smiled and crouched down to pick up the files for her.
Molly did the same and stole glances at him from time to time. It seems that Thomas still cares aboutme. He’s even willing to pick up the files for me.
In actuality, she was reading too much into it. Thomas would’ve offered the same help if anyone elsedropped their files.
Certainly, a woman deep in an unrequited love was sensitive, so it was only natural that she wouldoveranalyze Thomas’ actions.
They then entered the office together. After sorting out the documents, Molly got up from her chair andleft the office, for it was time to get off work.
Meanwhile, Olivia was seated in her chair and humming a song, appearing to be at ease.
A curious Thomas asked, “Why do you look so happy today, Olivia?”
“Haha! I forgot to tell you a piece of good news, Thomas.” Olivia then narrated to him what hadhappened while having the urge to dance in excitement.
It turned out she had managed to retrieve most of the business taken from her by the Pearson Group.Meanwhile, the remaining ones would be returned to her in a few days.
She snorted. “No one can take what is rightfully mine away from me. Moreover, you gave it to me, sono one can touch it!”
Olivia placed her hands on her hips and pouted her red lips, looking domineering.
When Thomas saw the way the woman carried herself, he put on a smile. He had to acknowledge thatOlivia was a capable person. At the very least, she was one of the best presidents in the businessworld, and those from the Pearson Group were unlucky enough to have offended her.
One shouldn’t be fooled by her charming appearance. Given the fact that Rafael had touted the womanto be a business genius, there was no way she was an ordinary person.
They then left the company together. Olivia suggested going to the supermarket to pick up somegroceries.
When they returned to the villa, Olivia busied herself in the kitchen. Thomas had offered to help, but thewoman turned him down and even came up with a reason that seemed out of place in the modernworld. “You’re a man, so you shouldn’t cook. This is what a woman is supposed to do.”
Since the woman appeared determined, Thomas had no choice but to go to the living room and watcha boring television program while waiting for dinner.
A cheerful Olivia prepared dinner and soon placed a lot of dishes on the dining table. She kept placingfood on Thomas’ plate while saying, “You have to eat more. This is good for you.”
Thomas was torn between tears and laughter. Food had piled up on his plate, but Olivia continuedgetting more food for him.
In actuality, he was already full, so he didn’t have much appetite left. However, if he refused to eat, hewas worried he would hurt the woman’s feelings. She had been cheerful, and it took her a lot of effort toprepare dinner, after all.
Left with no choice, Thomas could only widen his mouth and pig out on the food on his plate.
After dinner, he returned to his room and practiced martial arts. Since he had eaten so much food, hedecided to exercise to help with his digestion.
It wasn’t until the middle of the night that he dozed off.
He had a strange dream where he was stuck in a quagmire, and all he could see was mud. The harderhe tried to struggle out of it, the more mud there was around him.
