Chapter214
With someone else present, Maggie wiped away her tears and slowly stood up, Reynald, you’re here.”
During these three days, Gustavo’s funeral arrangements were all assisted by Reynald, so Maggie had a good impression of him.
Reynald nodded, “I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to keep up with the work.”
Maggie smiled bitterly, ‘It’s okay, just bury the person directly, no need for any ceremony.”
Her late husband in heaven probably wouldn’t want to see that scene just now.
Maggie buried Gustavo’s ashes in the cemetery with only four people present.
Maggie was with Charlotte, Reynald, and his driver.
The funeral was also completed.
the Hamilton’s manor.
Jaxson absentmindedly stared at the phone screen for three whole days, and Charlotte didn’t come home.
No phone call, no text message,
“Jaxson!” Victoria stormed into the study, “You’re out of your mind, how could you let that little bastard into the Hamilton family!”
Jaxson put away his phone and raised his eyelids, “He was just a kid.”
“It’s not your child, why do you care?” Victoria was so angry,“What, you don’t want to give birth yourself, you have to make others do it?”
The man rubbed his nose bridge, closed his eyes to rest, his handsome face slightly tired, “Just let him stay with the Hamilton family for a while.”
“I disagreed!”
He laughed and said, “It’s not like I asked you to bring it.”
Jaxson, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? What will people think if you leave him with the Hamilton family? How
will Charlotte think?”
Victoria wished she could pry open his brain and see if he and his father shared the same brain, if their thoughts were the same.
Jaxson pulled open his tie with one hand,“Don’t you dislike her?”
“I didn’t like Charlotte, but I was clear about it! She is still my daughter–in–law! I’m not speaking up for her, I’m speaking up for a third party?”
The words seemed to displease Jaxson, his brows furrowed slightly,“Caroline is not a third party.”
Victoria sneered, “With someone like you, I really don’t believe it if you say you didn’t have an affair with Caroline!“.
The pure are self—pure, I don’t need others to believe.”
Jaxson walked out of the villa and Cynthia, who was waiting outside the door, received a call. She approached him and said, “Mr. Hamilton, I just received news that Gustavo has passed away. Ms. Sutton has been handling her father’s affairs for the past three days.”
Jaxson’s movement of getting on the car paused, his gaze suddenly fixed on Cynthia’s face, “When did it happen?”
Cynthia lowered her head, “Just three days ago… um, I heard that when the ambulance arrived, it was already too late, they had missed the best golden treatment period.”
Jaxson unbuttoned two buttons on his collar, looking increasingly gloomy. In the end, without saying a word, he got into the car.
In the evening, Charlotte waited until Maggie fell asleep before returning to Havenwood Apartments to organize her clothes, planning to move back and stay for a while.
She entered the room, and the living room was brightly lit.
Jaxson sat at the bar smoking, with at least a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray, far more than his usual amount.
