Chapter 3952
Olivia was relieved to know that Leyla was sleeping with Myrna.
Myrna took after her mother with her temperament.
There was no doubt that Edwin loved his children, but Olivia felt that he was always more strict with Scott.
Myrna, on the other hand, was spoiled endlessly by Edwin.
Perhaps it was because she was so similar to Laura.
The spring night was beautiful despite the slight coldness in the air.
Olivia wrapped the shawl more snugly around herself.
In the darkness of the night, her face glowed warm and radiant.
Laura looked at her and felt as if she was somehow different.
Olivia’s eyes now burned bright with life.
Soon, the Jones family held a funeral.
Most of the powerful families in Duefron had attended.
With all of them gathered, it was more like a social event than a mournful one.
To Raphael’s surprise, Edwin and Laura also made it.
The Jones family members gritted their teeth at the sight of the two.
However, no matter how upset they were, they couldn’t make a scene here, and they didn’t dare go against Edwin.
Edwin stayed for a while and then left.
Raphael saw him to the door.
The two men were far from friends, but neither of them said anything unpleasant in such an occasion.
After a long while, Edwin finally spoke.
“When your mother was alive, she wanted you to get married soon.
Stop waiting around for Olivia.
It’s time to let her go and move on.
”
Raphael stood in front of the car, his fists clenching at his sides.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
He understood Edwin wanted him to leave Olivia alone, but he didn’t know why he said it now, of all times, at his own mother’s funeral.
Edwin drew closer to him and told him the reason.
“Dylan is still alive.
”
With that as parting words, Edwin left with Laura.
From beginning to end, Edwin didn’t have the heart to see the expression on Raphael’s face.
Holding his wife in his arms when they sat in the back seat, Edwin kissed her hair and said in a low voice, “Raphael and Olivia are going through the same thing we went through.
But I was luckier.
My parents were much more open-minded, but his weren’t.
He had been living in pain all these years because of that.
”
Laura leaned on his shoulder.
After a moment of silence, she said softly, “He will move on eventually, right?”
Edwin smiled and said, “Maybe.
”
Only time could tell.
At present, however, no woman could take Olivia’s place in Raphael’s heart.
