Chapter 725

Jacob walked away and rejoined his father. However, he decided on a whim that he would steal Sophia from Arthur as he wanted to win against Arthur at least once. 

A while later, Brenda and her family arrived at the funeral. Among them was Nigel holding Jared in his arms. Jared was wearing a black suit adorned with a white flower for today‘s occasion. 

Francis was the one who arrived soon after them. Then, he walked over to offer Elliot some words of condolences before looking for Jared in the crowd. 

Brenda came and spoke to Elliot. He could see her red eyes set off by her pale look. As they ended their conversation, she walked away and joined the elders. 

When Nigel came over to greet them, Elliot reminded him, “You have to take care of your mother.” 

“I tried, but she hasn‘t had any appetite recently. Dad and I couldn‘t change her mind.” Nigel shook his head in regret. 

As the tombstone was set and the urn storing Harriet‘s ashes was buried, it was now time for the deceased‘s relatives and friends to take turns placing flowers and paying respects at her grave. 

Elliot, Anastasia, and Jared were the first ones to pay their last respects to Harriet. When Jared placed a bouquet of flowers beside the gravestone, he took a look at Harriet‘s photo. He had been holding back his tears until Anastasia gave him a gentle pat. At that, he couldn‘t hold himself back anymore as he threw himself in his mother‘s arms and wept on her shoulder.
