Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 386 A Promise for This Life

→ Finished

The road to the cemetery was quiet–unsurprising, given that it was the day after Christmas. Most people wouldn’t choose today to visit a grave.

By the time Tessa and the others arrived, Yardley’s group was already there.

The chill in Navoris still clung to the air. As Tessa stepped out of the car, she pulled out a scarf and gently wrapped it around her grandfather’s neck.

The old man leaned on his cane, slowly making his way toward his wife’s grave.

Tessa followed close behind, arms full with the bouquet of lilies.

The moment they reached the headstone, the old man’s eyes turned red.

“Heyl,” he said softly, voice trembling, “it’s been a while. I hope you won’t blame me for not coming sooner. Not taking good care of you… that’s the biggest regret of my life.”

“In the next life–if there really is such a thing… I used to think it was nonsense, but now I hope it’s real. Because if it is, I’ll come find you. And when I do, you’re not allowed to hide from me, okay? I’ll show up with a huge bouquet of lilies and propose to you all over again. Next time, I’ll be more romantic, I swear.”

Louis silently handed him a tissue.

“What for? I’m not crying.” The old man gave a soft chuckle. “I don’t have much time left anyway. Soon, I’ll be able to see her again.”

Louis, who’d been by his side for decades, knew all about his deep, unwavering love.

“Yeah,” Louis murmured. “It won’t be long. We’re all getting old.”

Landon stood quietly behind them, his heart stirred deeply by what he saw and heard.

No one could say for sure if there was a next life! So in this one, having met a girl like Tessa, he knew–he had to hold on to her with everything he had. No matter what, he would never let her
