Chapter 10
After the sea burial was completed, everyone left.
Silvia’s ashes sank.completely into the sea, as if she had never existed in this world.
The words of the mortician echoed in his ears, “The deceased was a pure person in life, and their soul will ascend to heaven.”
Pure person? How could such a woman be a pure person? However, the words of the mortician were like a thorn, deeply piercing into his heart.
Trey hesitated for a long time, struggling in his mind whether to look into the past again. However, just as he was about to dial the phone, his mobile suddenly rang
It was Zachary
“Your leave is almost over, have you come back? Zachary’s voice remained cold, with a hint of unquestionable authority.
Trey hesitated for a moment and then replied, “Mr. Aldrich, I will be right back.”
Zachary nodded and continued, “I have decided to postpone the wedding for a while. The invitations and venue will need to be rescheduled. This time, we want to make it even more grand”
Trey’s heart shook, the wedding was postponed?
He asked subconsciously, “Mr. Aldrich, isn’t the wedding going to happen immediately? Does it need to be postponed for a long period of time?”
Zachary fell silent for a moment, his tone tinged with impatience. “Rebecca’s body hasn’t fully recovered yet, it would be better for her if we postpone the wedding for a while. Please come back as soon as possible and arrange for a new wedding.”
Trey nodded, but deep down he felt something was off.
Although Zachary’s tone was cold, he could still sense a hint of unusual emotion. Could it be that Zachary still cared about Silvia?
After hanging up the phone, They took one last look at the sky and silently sighed in his heart.
He knew that he had no reason to contince the investigation any further.
Silvia has already died, and her secret has been forever buried in this sea along with her departure.
He turned around and left the dock, embarking on the journey back.
After returning to Desamara, Trey immediately rushed to Zachary’s villa
Zachary and Rebecca were sitting in the living room, discussing the details of their wedding.
Rebecca had a sweet smile on her face, while Zachary occasionally nodded in response to her suggestions
“You’re back,” Rebecca saw Trey and greeted with a smile, “Zachary and I were discussing the wedding, do you have any suggestions?”
Trey shook his head and respectfully said, “Ms. Deross, you and Mr. Aldrich decided about the wedding. I will fully cooperate.”
Rebecca nodded satisfactorily and then eagerly began making various requests, “The venue for the wedding needs to be reselected, preferably by the seaside. I love the romantic atmosphere by the sea. The wedding gown also needs to be redesigned, I wasn’t quite satisfied with the previous one. And, the guest list for the wedding needs to be revised as well. I want to invite some foreign friends.”
Trey recorded her demands one by one, but her mind was somewhat absent.
s gaze occasionally glanced at Zachary, and he noticed that although Zachary was sitting next to Rebecca, his eyes seemed somewhat distracted, as if he wasn’t fully engaged in the wedding discussion.
“Zachary, do you have any requests? Rebecca suddenly turned her head and asked Zachary with a smile.
Zachary snapped back to reality and said calmly, “December toth was a good day, the wedding was held on that day.
Rebecca and They were both stunned.
The date Zachary mentioned was actually three months later.
“Three months later? Rebecca frowned slightly, dissatisfied. “Why do we have to wait that long? We can choose a closer date, can’t we?
Zachary glanced at her, his tone calm but indisputable, “That day was a good day, and it would be better for us to have the wedding on that day. Besides, your body also needs time to recover, there’s no rush at this moment.”
Rebecca’s face didn’t look good, but she still forced a smile and didn’t insist anymore.
She turned to Trey and asked, “What do you think?”
They felt a wave of nervousness in his heart, knowing that Zachary’s decision was unquestionable, but he also noticed Rebecca’s dissatisfaction.
He said cautiously, “Mr. Aldrich’s decision must have its reasons, and I will arrange according to Mr. Aldrich’s request.”
Rebecca didn’t say anything more, her face post looked a bit gloomy,
She then asked, “And what about the honeymoon? Where are we going for our honeymoon? I would like to go to Dipiya, or maybe Moncalaria would be
Zachary shook his head and said coldly, “Those places were too ordinary, they didn’t mean much.”
Rebecca grumbled discontentedly, “So where did you want to go
Zachary tell silent for a monsent and slowly said, “Go to Flodina.”
Trey’s heart rightened suddenly, and the pen in his hand almost dropped to the ground.
Hodina? Why did Mr. Aldrich go to Flodina?
Why a did Silvia also choose to have a sea burial at Floding?
Was this their previous agreement?
Rebecca clearly didn’t notice Trey’s abnormality. She furrowed her brow and reluctantly said, “Flodino? What’s there to do? It’s cold and desolate, I don’t
to see ir
Zachary glanced at her, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionable certainty, “Floding was a sacred place, and I wanted to take you i
Rebecca wanted to say something else, but Zachary had already stood up and said to Trey, “Come with the, there are some things to discuss.”
Trey followed Zachary upstairs, feeling a slight ease in his heart.
Zachary explained some work matters, but his tone was somewhat absent–minded.
The work was quickly finished and he didn’t ask him to leave
Trey stood in Zachary’s study, the air seemed to have frozen.
Zachary stood in front of the French window with his back timed, the cigarette in his hand had bemed to the end, but he seemed completely unaware
Trey noticed the hidden meaning in his words and cautiously asked, “Mr. Aldrich, do you have anything else to disclose?!
Zachary fell silent for a moment and finally asked, “How is she?
Zachary’s voice was low and hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from deep within his throat.
Trey’s heart sank suddenly, he knew Zachary was asking about Silvia,
Although Zachary did not mention her name, Trey understood who “she was.
He lowered his head, his fingers trembling slightly, and tried to make his voice sound calm, “Mr. Aldrich, you previously asked her never to appear before you again. She should have already left Desamara and gone abroad.”
Zachary didn’t speak, he just stood there quietly, as if digesting the answer.
They could feel a suppressed emotion permeating the air, like the calm belure a storm, making it hard to catch que’s breath.
After a long time, Zachary finally spoke slowly, “How was the issue with the blood donor resolved?”
Trey’s heart skipped a beat, and in an instant, Silvia’s pale, bloodless face flashed through his mind.
