Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 482 One Should Always Keep Moving Forward

It was very quiet at the funeral parlor, only the sound of the billowing wind could be heard. Rose's nephews and nieces were all held back by Claudius at the hospital, leaving only Sophia and several others at the funeral parlor in the early morning. That was the third time Sophia came face-to-face with death.

As Rose's body was sent into the chamber for cremation, her family members waited outside.

Madeline was the only one sobbing softly in the long and empty hallway.

Sophia turned sideways and took a glance at Claudius. The latter stood still, his gaze fixed ahead, seemingly in a daze. No one knew what was on his mind.

It was a bit chilly, so Sophia decided to hold his hand again.

Just then, Claudius lowered his head and looked at her, asking, "Are you feeling cold?"

Sophia shook her head and said, "Nope."

Then, silence ensued again after a brief conversation between them.

Time ticked by slowly. Forty minutes later, all that was left of Rose was her cremains.

Claudius then took Rose's ashes with him and drove back to her mansion.

When Rose was still alive, she expressed her desire to have a simple funeral. The only thing that she wanted was to be buried with her husband, Jeff.

At that time, almost all of Rose's housekeepers at her mansion had been dismissed. The only one left was Agatha, the lady who traveled with her from Chanaea.

When Agatha saw Claudius carrying an urn home, she rose to her feet and stared at it blankly. After a while, she finally came to her senses and uttered, "Mr. Claudius, please place Mdm. Rose here."

Even though Rose had requested for everything to be kept simple, there was a need to light at least a candle when the ashes of the newly deceased was brought home before the burial ceremony. That was a customary practice in Chanaea.

Thankfully, Agatha had prepared everything, and Rose had had her obituary photo taken two months ago. The black and white photo showed Rose curling her lips into a smile, displaying no hint of sadness on her face.

Agatha lit a candle and passed it to him. "Mr. Claudius,
