Chapter 81
Early the next morning.
Noah had changed into a black suit, his hair combed impeccably, and even had a pair of gold rimmed glasses on his nose bridge, making him look even more refined and suave.
Feeling a bit spaced out, he spotted Rosalynn from a distance, running towards him in her black down jacket.
The morning fog was thick.
Her cheeks and nose appeared cherry-red from the run, and her eyes were clear and watery.
As the passenger door opened, she hurriedly got in and rubbed her reddened hands together. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“It suddenly got so cold!”
With the car heater on, Rosalynn gradually warmed up.
‘Here’s breakfast.”
Noah handed her the breakfast.
Expecting a store-bought sandwich or something similar, Rosalynn was surprised to see what he’d prepared,
“Did you make this?” she asked, incredulous.
Noah nodded. “Eat it before it’s getting cold.”
“Noah, you used to be a kitchen disaster, and now you can cook?” Rosalynn was astonished
“I wasn’t used to foreign food, so I’ve slowly learned how to cook over time,” Noah replied as he started the car.
They headed towards Hillside Memorial Park.
It was quite a distance from the city to Hillside Memorial Park, nearly two hours by car.
Having eaten her fill, Rosalynn started to feel drowsy again in the warm and cozy atmosphere.
During a red light, Noah handed her a small pillow.
Rosalynn hugged it and immediately fell into a comfortable sleep.
Within the car, country-jazz played at a low volume, creating a serene ambiance
Noah couldn’t help but glance over at Rosalynn from time to time.
In retrospect, proposing marriage yesterday may have been a bit impulsive.
But after thinking it over all night, Noah didn’t regret his spontaneity at all.
Now it was all about how to get her to agree.
Upon arriving at the cemetery, the fog had mostly dissipated, and the sun emerged, making it feel a bit warmer. The usual caregiver was off today, replaced by a woman Rosalynn didn’t recognize.
Seeing Rosalynn, the lady pulled out her phone to verify something, and her eyes lit up immediately.
As Rosalynn walked away, the worker quickly dialed a number labeled “God of Wealth” on her phone.
Tall and lush pine and cypress trees adorned the cemetery
Noah placed flowers by the gravestones and carefully wiped them.
Facing the tombstones, Rosalynn said, “Mom, do you remember Noah? You used to like him so much when I

was little!”
Noah was there listening, Noah recalled a teasing remark from Rosalynn’s mother back then.
“Noah, when she struggles with her homework, you won’t even let me discipline her. If she grows up to be a silly girl who can’t do anything, will you marry her, then?”
At that time, Noah was a bit shy. Although surrounded by teasing, he still blushed and replied, “Til marry her! Just don’t hit her!”
Noah put his palms together to pay his respect to Addy Tesdal, saying, “Auntie, I’m here to fulfill my promise. Please bless me so I can marry Rosalynn!”
Afterward, he bowed to the elder couple of the Tesdal family, earnestly praying, “Grandpa and Grandma, I will treat Rosalynn very well and never let her suffer alone again. Please bless me as well and make my wishes
come true.”
Seeing Noah silent, Rosalynn turned to look at him.
She saw him standing as upright as a pine tree, palms together and eyes closed with a devout expression.
She thought to herself, was he talking nonsense to my grandparents?
Rosalynn quickly chanted in her mind “Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa, please don’t listen to Noah! I don’t want to be a burden on anyone!”
After she finished, she got up and interrupted Noah’s prayer.
“Noah, do you want some ice cream?”
