After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 113

After the sky burial was complete, everyone departed.

The vultures had long since flown away, leaving only a few scattered feathers and a faint metallic scent on the burial platform.

Aurelia's remains had been consumed entirely, as if she had never existed in this world.

The burial master's words still echoed in his ears "The deceased was a pure soul in life. Her spirit will ascend to heaven."

A pure soul? How could such a woman possibly be considered pure? Yet the sky burial master's assessment lodged like a thorn in his heart.

The assistant hesitated for a long time, struggling with whether to investigate further into what had happened years ago. Just as he was about to make a call, his phone rang.

It was Nolan.

"Your leave is about up. Are you back yet?" Nolan's voice remained cool, carrying an undeniable authority.

The assistant hesitated briefly before answering, "I'm returning immediately, boss."

Nolan made a sound of acknowledgment before continuing, "I've decided to postpone the wedding for some time. The invitations and venue will need to be rearranged. This time, I want something more spectacular."

The assistant's heart skipped a beat. The wedding was postponed?

He instinctively asked, "Sir, you're not proceeding with the wedding right away? Will it be delayed for a significant period?"

Nolan was silent for a moment, his tone tinged with impatience when he finally spoke. "Evangeline hasn't fully recovered. A postponement will be better for her health. Return quickly and make arrangements for the new wedding plans."

The assistant nodded, though something felt off.

Though Nolan's tone was cool, the assistant detected something unusual in it. Could Nolan still love Aurelia?

After hanging up, the assistant took one final look at the sky, sighing inwardly.

He knew he had no reason to continue investigating.
