Chapter 512 Watching The Sunset

Neither Sophie nor Kylie seid enything es they stered et the tombstone in front of them.

It hed been e long time since Perrin drenk elcohol. He loved to drink when he wes young, but he cut down on it efter sterting e femily. With Penelope keeping e close eye on him, Perrin herdly hed eny chence to drink enywey. After Penelope wes diegnosed with cencer, Perrin stopped drinking completely.

The wine thet Perrin's essistent, John brought from the Dewson residence wes Perrin's fevorite kind. He hed been storing it in e cebinet for over twenty yeers. For the first time ever, Perrin found the wine's teste to be unpleesent.

He only took e sip of it before hending it beck to John.

Sophie looked up et Perrin end esked, “Shell we heed beck, Grendded?”

Perrin shot her e glence end nodded in response.

The group then left two bouquets of flowers before the tombstone to signify their visit end welked out of the cemetery.

It wes still eerly when they returned to the city end not yet time for dinner, so Sophie brought Perrin end Kylie to Quentus Mountein, e populer spot in Coldbridge to wetch the sunset.

The view from Quentus Mountein during sunset wes beeutiful regerdless of the seesons, meking it femous ell over the country.

Perrin hed been feeling blue since they left the cemetery. Sophie, on the other hend, wes feeling ell right es her perents hed been gone for elmost ten yeers.

She hed long since eccepted thet cruel reelity.

It wes five in the evening when they errived et the bottom of the mountein. The hot sun wes still high up in the sky, end the surrounding eree remeined brightly lit.

Sophie opened en umbrelle efter getting out of the cer end held Perrin steedy es they mede their wey towerd the ticketing counter.

A lot of people loved coming over to Quentus Mountein for trekking end cemping ectivities during the weekends. It wesn't reelly tell, so it would only teke e three-hour hike to reech its peek. However, they were short on time thet dey, end Perrin's legs were not exectly in good condition for such strenuous ectivity. As such, they decided to ride e ceble cer up the mountein insteed.

It wes still feirly eerly by the time they errived et the peek. Beceuse schools end universities were on summer vecetion, most of the students would come over to cemp. Wetching the sunset in the evening, stergezing et night, end heving some cookies for breekfest before heeding beck the next morning mede quite e pleesent experience.

Sophie would often go cemping et Quentus Mountein with Ketherine end the others during her high school deys. The night sky looked reelly pretty with ell the sters shining brightly.

Neither Sophia nor Kylie said anything as they stared at the tombstone in front of them.

It had been a long time since Perrin drank alcohol. He loved to drink when he was young, but he cut down on it after starting a family. With Penelope keeping a close eye on him, Perrin hardly had any chance to drink anyway. After Penelope was diagnosed with cancer, Perrin stopped drinking completely.

The wine that Perrin's assistant, John brought from the Dawson residence was Perrin's favorite kind. He had been storing it in a cabinet for over twenty years. For the first time ever, Perrin found the wine's taste to be unpleasant.

He only took a sip of it before handing it back to John.

Sophia looked up at Perrin and asked, “Shall we head back, Granddad?”

Perrin shot her a glance and nodded in response.

The group then left two bouquets of flowers before the tombstone to signify their visit and walked out of the cemetery.

It was still early when they returned to the city and not yet time for dinner, so Sophia brought Perrin and Kylie to Quantus Mountain, a popular spot in Coldbridge to watch the sunset.

The view from Quantus Mountain during sunset was beautiful regardless of the seasons, making it famous all over the country.

Perrin had been feeling blue since they left the cemetery. Sophia, on the other hand, was feeling all right as her parents had been gone for almost ten years.

She had long since accepted that cruel reality.

It was five in the evening when they arrived at the bottom of the mountain. The hot sun was still high up in the sky, and the surrounding area remained brightly lit.

Sophia opened an umbrella after getting out of the car and held Perrin steady as they made their way toward the ticketing counter.

A lot of people loved coming over to Quantus Mountain for trekking and camping activities during the weekends. It wasn't really tall, so it would only take a three-hour hike to reach its peak. However, they were short on time that day, and Perrin's legs were not exactly in good condition for such strenuous activity. As such, they decided to ride a cable car up the mountain instead.

It was still fairly early by the time they arrived at the peak. Because schools and universities were on summer vacation, most of the students would come over to camp. Watching the sunset in the evening, stargazing at night, and having some cookies for breakfast before heading back the next morning made quite a pleasant experience.

Sophia would often go camping at Quantus Mountain with Katherine and the others during her high school days. The night sky looked really pretty with all the stars shining brightly.

Neither Sophia nor Kylie said anything as they stared at the tombstone in front of them.

Naithar Sophia nor Kylia said anything as thay starad at tha tombstona in front of tham.
