Chapter 196

“Have you forgotten what has happened to your father?” Leonard reminded Jonathan again.

“I didn’t forget. I also said I won’t repeat my father’s mistake,” Jonathan said.

“In that case, you should kick Rosalie out of the Youngblood residence and ask her to disappear from your life!” Leonard snapped.

“I’m afraid it can’t be done.” Jonathan’s eyes darkened. When he heard Leonard say that, his heart clenched suddenly. He almost instinctively rejected such a suggestion and did not even want to consider it.

“You…” Leonard choked and glared at his grandson.

“Grandpa, I won’t repeat my father’s mistakes, so I’ll have everything under my control. I’ll make Rosie get so used to my existence that she can’t leave me at all,” he said with a low chuckle, but his eyes seemed to be warning Leonard. “So, I hope you can stay out of my business. If you interfere too much, I can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything to restrict your movements.”

Leonard’s face reddened instantly. He coughed several times before finally stopping, but he seemed angry. “Are you threatening me?”

Jonathan stared at Leonard and said, “No, I’m just reminding you. If anything happens to her, no one can get away, Grandpa!”

Leonard’s turbid but still sharp eyes stared at Jonathan. He knew Jonathan was not kidding.

“What’s so good about that woman? Why are you so obsessed with her?” Leonard could not understand it.

He had had someone bring Rosalie to him to have a look. In his opinion, she was very ordinary and drastically different from the granddaughter-in-law he wanted.

“Because she’s the first woman to treat me like family.” Jonathan smiled. Rosalie had said that they could rely on each other from then on.

Rosalie made him feel at home again after so many years.

Every time he called her Rosie, it was as if they were really family.

He wanted to keep this feeling.

Leonard looked at Jonathan in disbelief. It was as if Jonathan’s answer was ridiculous, and Jonathan had said that to brush him off.

Jonathan smiled faintly. “Grandpa, you won’t understand.”

Leonard said with hatred, “Sooner or later, you’ll regret it!”

“Grandpa, you can try to live as many years as possible to see if I’ll regret it,” Jonathan said with a gentle smile.

Leonard snapped. “O-Okay! I’ll wait for the day you regret it then!”

In the afternoon, Rosalie walked out of the diner and went to her mother’s grave with the flowers she bought yesterday. When her mother died, her father did not buy a plot in the cemetery but buried her in the graveyard of a friend’s village. It was because it was cheap.

Back then, you only needed to bribe the officials with cigars and pull some strings. It was much cheaper than buying a plot in the cemetery.

Later, she also considered choosing a date and relocating her mother’s grave. After all, the current grave was just a grave on a hill near that village.

It was inconvenient to visit the grave. In addition, there were already many cracks due to the grave being old. It would probably be a big project to repair, and it would be better to move the grave to the cemetery.

However, the idea was naturally put on hold due to her imprisonment. After she got out of prison, she had no money. Not to mention the money to buy a plot in the cemetery, she could not even afford to hire workers for the grave relocation.

When Rosalie walked to the foot of the mountain, she saw that the village registrar had already set up a shed at the foot of the mountain. Grave visitors registered one after another.

However, when Rosalie stepped forward and registered under his mother’s grave number, the registrar immediately said, “This grave has been relocated. What are you doing here?”

“Relocated?” Rosalie froze.

“Yes, someone called Gordon Leighton relocated it. He’s probably the husband of the grave owner,” the registrar said after looking through the records, Rosalie suddenly recalled how her father had asked her to return using grave relocation as an excuse last time. However, Howeve when she went back afterward, Gordon and Caitlin’s focus was not on the grave relocation but on Calvin.

She did not overthink about the grave relocation, but she did not expect her father to relocate the grave so suddenly without even noticing her.

“Do you know where they relocated the grave?” Rosalie asked hurriedly.

The registrar said, “I don’t know. We only care about the graves being moved out. We don’t care where others relocate the graves!”

Rosalie bit her lip and said relentlessly, “C-Can I go up the mountain and have a look? I’ll register and go up the mountain to have a look. If it has really been relocated, I’ll come down immediately.”

Seeing her pale and anxious face, the man let her go without embarrassing her much.

Rosalie almost ran up the mountain. When she ran to her mother’s grave, she only saw an empty pit.

The tombstone was gone. Besides the pit, there was only a small pile of dirt.

The grave had indeed been moved away!

Rosalie froze. Then, she took out her phone and dialed her father’s phone number.

The phone rang for a long time before finally getting through. Gordon’s voice came from the other end of the line. “What is it?”

“Did you move away Mom’s grave?” Rosalie asked.

Gordon replied impatiently, “So what if I did? What’s the matter? Do you still remember your mother’s grave, you ungrateful brat?”

“Where did you relocate Mom’s grave to?” Rosalie asked.

“Ha, do you care about your mother’s grave now? Didn’t you say you’re not part of this family? I don’t think you need to know where your mother is buried now,” Gordon said impatiently.

Rosalie pursed her lips and took a deep breath before replying, “Then what will it take for you to tell me where you’ve relocated Mom’s grave.”

“You ungrateful brat, are you begging me? Do you remember what you said when we asked you not to mess with Calvin lest you ruin your sister’s relationship? I’m telling you, I won’t tell you where the grave has been relocated if you don’t pay me 10 million dollars,” Gordon threatened.

Gordon hung up the phone after saying that.

When Rosalie called him back, he did not answer the phone.

Rosalie hurried down the mountain and came directly to the Leighton residence. However, no one answered her whether she rang the doorbell or knocked on the door.
