Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 201

Effie Bagnold and Lyman Etheridge picked up her grandmother and the nurse from the hospital, then headed together to the cemetery.

When they arrived, there was already a bouquet of lilies-her mother's favorite- placed in front of the grave.

Her grandmother gazed at the flowers, a wistful sigh escaping her lips. "That person... always gets here before we do."

Effie nodded. "Yeah."

Effie shook her head. "No, it's okay. Whoever it is always avoids us. That probably means they don't want to meet."

"So let's not intrude. Maybe... if it's meant to be, we'll cross paths one day."
