Chapter: 998

Joey stood before the gravestone, carefully placing a flower he had just picked.

“Aunt Abby, my name is Joey. I'm here with my mom. We came to see you."

Rachel returned his gaze with a grin and a kiss on the back of his head.

“Mommy haven't come to see you during the past years. Please don't get mad at my mommy. In fact, she must be missing you a lot. When

I was a little kid, she told me a lot about you. Before I came to see you, I already liked you a lot." Joey's voice sounded innocent and lovely as he said that.

"Simply vent your frustrations at me if you're still not pleased. Mommy would have visited you sooner if I hadn't been too little to come."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out yet another blossom. Rachel was taken aback and puzzled as to when Joey picked the flowers.

He placed the two flowers next to the grave.

“Auntie, Mommy and I came in a hurry, and we didn't get a lot of flowers for you. I simply plucked two flowers on the way and presented them to you.

I'll bring you a magnificent bouquet of flowers the next time I visit, so don't get so upset with me, please."

His solemn tone amused Rachel. She stroked the tip of his nose with her finger and muttered, “Aunt Abby treasures you the most. She'll never be mad at you for anything."

Abby used to peek at Rachel's tummy and make educated guesses about the gender of the unborn child. Even the baby's birth present was on

Abby's list of things to prepare.

Abby was even more concerned about Rachel's unborn child than Rachel herself.

Abby really liked the kid. If she were still living, she might have pampered this tiny kid to the point of obsession.

It was beginning to grow dark.

Rachel and Joey didn't spend much time at the cemetery. They left, probably due to the growing darkness.

The driver exited the vehicle early and waited for them. He opened the rear door as soon as he spotted them exiting, so they could get inside.

They heard the vehicle radio as soon as they got inside the automobile.

"It has come to our notice that the houses on the high floors of

Building A of Gentlefolk have been engulfed in flames. Firefighters are trying their best to control the raging inferno which has already caused a heavy traffic jam. If you are going to the places around that axis, please try to make a detour and pay attention to traffic safety. Autumn has the highest incidence of fire outbreaks. Recently, there has been a steady rise as regards the number of properties being gutted by fire in many communities far and near. It is very important to strengthen our safety consciousness. Please turn off electrical appliances when they are not in use. Remember to turn off the gas before leaving your house so as to ensure the safety of both you and the members of your family."

Joey was sitting obediently in the child seat while listening to the announcement on the radio. Then he muttered in a low tone,

"Gentlefolk? Why does it sound so familiar?"

Meanwhile, Rachel was helping the boy fasten the seat belt when that particular community was mentioned. For a moment, she stopped what she was doing. The name also sounded somewhat familiar to her.

"Gentlefolk is a real estate project developed by the Sullivan Group.”
