Chapter 313

After listening to his explanation, Katherine didn't comment much and just hummed in acknowledgment. "Thank you. I understand what you just told me. I'll be careful."

Josiah then let out a breath of relief in his heart. "I'm glad you understand. Then… if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

She nodded and didn't ask him to stay.

As he reached the door, he hesitated but still stopped walking before turning around to look at her. His eyes, which had seen and experienced many things in his life, were brimming with gentleness.

"Katherine." He stopped addressing her as 'Miss Cornell,' but also didn't address her as 'Kathy,' which would be too intimate, and used a compromise instead.

Katherine's brows twitched slightly. "Yes?"

"If you need anything in the future, you can look for me in the Grant Residence. Whether it's me or the Grant Family, we would help you with all we have."

She was taken aback at his words. After a few moments of silence, she oddly didn't reject his offer and lightly nodded. "Got it."

Then, Josiah left satisfied.

Joaquin, who had been watching from the side, smiled gently as he lifted his hand to caress her hair. "You accepted that pretty quickly."

Katherine blinked a few times. "It's nothing big. Whatever happened with the previous generation doesn't really have anything to do with us."

What they said could only be understood by themselves.

After that, more people came to pay their respects. Katherine greeted them politely as she was grateful for them coming to see Jennifer for the last time.

After the funeral was over and the sun was setting, she stood before Jennifer's gravestone, oddly feeling dazed.
