A Film Queen

Chapter 368

After Ivan left, the cosy living room suddenly felt a bit chillier than before.

Milly cautiously checked out Jordan’s face, seeing his obvious annoyance. She was about to sweet-talk her way out of it, but then she noticed Jordan standing up, looking all serious, and with that same calm tone, he said, “Get up, come with me.”

She had to swallow the flattery she was about to spill out and followed him obediently instead.

They zigzagged their way to a hidden backyard spot where a small bungalow stood. If one paid attention, one could catch a subtle scent of sandalwood in the air.

Jordan pushed the door open gently and said, “Enter.”

The door wasn’t locked, so it opened quickly. Inside, it was all dark, with no lights on. The sunlight seemed to avoid this place.

With just the dim candlelight and a soft yellow glow, Milly could see a bunch of ancestral tablets lined up on the main table. Above them, a big sign read. ‘The Burnetts’ Family Chapel.’

Milly was surprised. This was the Burnetts’ family chapel?

She had been around for quite a while and yet had no idea this place existed.

Not paying attention to her astonishment, Jordan grabbed three sticks of incense. He ignited them with the candle on the tall table, positioned them on his forehead, and gave a respectful bow before slotting them into the incense holder.

He then put his hands together, knelt down on the cushion with his back straight, and said, “The Burnetts ancestors, the thirty- eighth generation eldest son Jordan Burnett, along with the younger sister Milly Burnett, are here to pay our respects to all ancestors, hoping for protection and smooth sailing for Milly, may everything work out well.”
