Chapter 535

“I have committed Everleigh to fulfill her final wish.

”

Tears started streaming down Juanita’s face.

Leonel was taken aback, having never seen his mother so vulnerable.

She always appeared composed and sharp in front of everyone else.

With her hands hiding her face, Juanita wept.

“The day before Everleigh took that leap, I met her.

She confided that her greatest desire was to witness the union of the two kids in marriage.

She also mentioned…”

Memories rushed back.

It was two decades ago when the young Lindsey and Sumber were mere infants.

Holding her daughter, Juanita had visited Everleigh.

The first time the two kids met, they reached for each other’s hands and laughed together.

“Juanita, see how fond they are of each other.

They’ll make a perfect pair as they grow up.

”

“Juanita, I wish they could grow up overnight.

I’d Love to witness their wedding and the joy of becoming grandparents.

You and I will surely be the loveliest mother-in-laws.

”

“Juanita, please make sure to take good care of them and keep them safe.

”

“I hope he lives a happy life, also for my part.

”

These memories cut deeply into Juanita’s heart.

“If I had known earlier that she was contemplating suicide that day, could we have prevented all of this? Would she still be leading a good life today?”

For all those years, Juanita always felt sorry for her friend.

Ruby stepped closer and wrapped Juanita in a comforting embrace.

“You can’t blame yourself.

It’s she… she chose to give up.

Once a person gives up on themselves, no amount of persuasion from others can make a difference in their will to live.

”

With her fists clenched, Juanita leaned into Ruby’s embrace and resolved, “I will fulfill Everleigh’s last wish.

That’s my promise to her.

”

Sumner raced down the city road, gripping the steering wheel tightly.

The exchange between Juanita and Lindsey stayed with him, lingering in his thoughts.

Abruptly, he slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.

Resting his head against the steering wheel, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

He had been ready to let go of Lindsey.

But then Lindsey’s mother suddenly told him that it was his mother’s final wish that he could marry Lindsey.

He had feelings for Lindsey, but she didn’t return his affections!

His thoughts were all jumbled up, and he felt lost, not knowing what to do.

What was the real story behind his mother’s passing?

Why had everyone kept it from him? Why was it shrouded in secrecy?

Sumner felt like he’d stumbled into a massive web, trapped in a corner, bewildered and powerless.
