His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 817

On the day of Lily's funeral, the sky, after days of sullen grey, opened up into a vast expanse of blue.

In the solemn stillness of the cemetery, before Lily's gravestone stood Jareth, his usually brilliant eyes now dimmed, as he tenderly laid a bouquet of pure daisies on her resting place.

Beside the stone lay a broken angel pendant, a testament to memories past.

One by one, the Abernathys, Cassius and Chasel, Arnold and Camille, Jason and Nydia, Aaron, and Elvis, along with Dean, stepped forward to offer flowers and their condolences.

The women were silently shedding tears, while the men, though steeped in sorrow, were trying to restrain their emotions, comforting their partners.

Only Aaron, a detective seasoned by life's many dramas, had red-rimmed eyes from the moment he arrived, his gaze shimmering with unshed tears.

He had only met Lily a few times, but each encounter left a deep impression, especially their last at the amusement park.

Before, he had thought her to be aloof and reserved, but that day, he discovered she was also playful and full of laughter.

Aaron's mind replayed the scene where Lily, dressed in a pink bunny costume, had rested on his shoulder, jokingly demanding photos.
