I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 361 Cause And Effect

“This is a photograph of your mother. She was very beautiful when she was young,” Vernon said while handing Jonathan an old photograph.

As Jonathan took the photograph over and looked at it, he saw a young woman about the age of seventeen or eighteen.

She had a very pretty face and was wearing a red dress. With her hair tied in twin braids, she looked like a girl from the countryside.

Jonathan found himself getting mesmerized by her beauty as he stared blankly at the photograph.

Mabel, too, couldn't help but gasp in awe when she saw the photograph from the side. Fate sure works in mysterious yet wonderful ways!

“Where was my mother buried?” Jonathan asked while carefully keeping the old photograph.

“On the hill in the back,” Vernon replied.

“I would like to go pay my respects, Master,” Jonathan said with a sob.

Vernon nodded. “As you should. Let's get going, then.”

They then left the house and made their way up the hill.

At the top of the hill was a grassy plain that brought about a floral fragrance when the wind blew past it.

The golden rays of the evening sun only made the scenery all the more beautiful.

As most of the villagers would bury their dead atop the hill, there were many tombstones up there.

Vernon then led Jonathan and Mabel in front of a grave that had been kept clean and tidy.

“Why isn't there a tombstone here?” Jonathan asked in confusion.

“Your mother died young, and you were her only son. According to the village customs, she was not entitled to have a tombstone. Only those with lots of children were allowed to have tombstones. Once you achieve success and have lots of children, you will be able to get one for her grave,” Vernon explained.

She went to Dellmoor at the age of eighteen and was going to stay over at her relatives' house, but they were nowhere to be found. Due to your mother's ego and pride, she refused to return to this village. She was determined to settle down in Dellmoor, but she was too inexperienced and naïve. On top of that, she was also really beautiful. While working in a restaurant, she was harassed by a bunch of thugs. Your father, Tristan Cadman, happened to be passing by at the time. It was snowing heavily during the winter, so he was wearing a stylish black coat when he saved your mother. Back then, Tristan was a handsome and prideful young man. Thanks to his charming appearance and charisma, he easily won the hearts of countless women. Naturally, your mother was no exception. She fell in love with Tristan
