Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 1041:

Hearing Noah’s somber excuse, the attendant gave a sympathetic nod. “Ah, I understand. My deepest condolences. Please, come in. I’ll explain our options. Our cemetery offers very competitive pricing, and the location…”

Before he could finish, Noah cut him off smoothly. “That won’t be necessary. We would prefer to walk the grounds ourselves. It’s an important decision—where to lay someone to rest. We would like to see it firsthand. If we find the right place, we’ll handle the payment and reservation tonight.”

Tonight?

Browsing burial plots under a moonlit sky?

The attendant blinked in confusion.

Nothing about this seemed normal.

At night, the cemetery was shrouded in dim light, its eerie atmosphere thick with a sense of impending doom.

This man appeared perfectly ordinary, so why would he make such an odd request?

He studied Noah briefly. The man didn’t appear disturbed or unhinged, yet this request felt wildly out of place.

Still, money was money—and the customer came first.

Forcing a polite expression, the attendant gestured ahead. “Uh… of course. Right this way.”

Sadie’s eyes moved quickly, sweeping across the tombstones as they walked.

Somewhere among them… could her parents really be here?

Noticing the urgency in her steps, Noah reached out and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

Guiding them forward, the attendant began his rehearsed introduction, detailing the layout of the grounds with careful precision.

“This way, please,” said the attendant, motioning ahead with practiced ease. “This area is one of our finest. It offers a sweeping view of the hills, and many prominent families choose to honor their loved ones here.”

Trailing behind, Sadie and Noah kept up the pace, though their nods and murmurs barely passed for genuine interest.

Their eyes kept shifting back and forth, moving from one tombstone to the next on either side.

Brenda Hudson. Dederick Hudson.

Those names clung to Sadie’s thoughts like shadows she couldn’t shake. She needed to find them. She had to.

When the attendant noticed their distant demeanor, his brow creased with mild suspicion.

It was strange enough to be giving a tour after dark. But now he wasn’t even sure they cared about any of the plots at all.

What was their real purpose here?noveldrama
