Chapter 66 Don’t Make Me Ask Twice
Angela lowered the curtains and switched on the lights in the dark living room.
The living room was in the worst condition. The couch, chairs, and tables were all destroyed, and the walls were painted red.
The painter had repainted the walls white to cover up the glaring red paint, but they still needed to buy new furniture.
Although things could be replaced, they were different from Grandma’s belongings.
Angela felt the house was unfamiliar because it was empty, and all the familiar items were gone. She looked around and left the house.
Angela went to the alley and purchased red candles, three incense sticks, and joss paper. Then, she took the bus to the cemetery on the outskirts. Charlotte was buried in the public cemetery in Northcity. George had paid for it and made it luxurious due to his reputation.
It was almost 9 p.m., and the cemetery was quiet. There were no streetlights, and the cold wind blew loudly. She was dressed lightly and felt cold. The exposed parts of her limbs had turned slightly blue from the cold. Finally, she arrived at the cemetery. The caretaker was an old man. He shone his flashlight on Angela’s face and said, “We’re closed now. If you want to pay your respects, please come back tomorrow morning.”
Angela was taken aback momentarily and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know I couldn’t come at night.” She was afraid of causing trouble and apologized before turning around and leaving.
The old man saw Angela standing outside in the cold night while dressed lightly, holding a few candles in her hand. He felt she must have suffered some grievances but had no one to talk to. Thus, she could only come to visit her deceased loved ones. In that split second, he. felt that she was pitiful.
“Never mind. Come in. After paying your respects, you should hurry back home.”
Angela expressed her gratitude and followed her memory to find Charlotte’s tombstone.
On the black and white photo was Charlotte’s face.
Angela felt like crying as she silently lit up the candles and incense. She also burned some
paper money.
With the help of the burning paper money, Angela’s frozen body gradually warmed. she felt a hint of warmth.

By the end, the large stack of paper money had burned away, and the surroundings became utterly dark
Angela could no longer see Charlotte’s face.
She sniffled and stood up, brushing the dust off her knees before turning to leave.
Just as she stepped out of the cemetery, her phone rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was Donald calling.
“Angela, it’s already 10 p.m. Why aren’t you home yet? Is something wrong?” Donald’s anxious voice came through the phone.
Angela had been talking for quite a while, so her throat was hoarse. “I went back to Grandma’s house. The painter called me and said everything had been repaired, so he asked me to look at the finishing touches. I’m sorry. I forgot to tell you. Don’t worry.” Angela explained.
Relieved that Angela was fine, Donald told her to return soon and hung up.
When Angela returned to Donald’s house, it was already very late. She tiptoed, trying not to make any noise since she feared waking anyone up.
Just as she entered the room in the dark, the lights suddenly turned on. Angela was surprised and turned around to find Quincy with a stern expression.
“Where have you been?” he asked.
Angela blinked. “Didn’t Uncle Donald tell you? I went to Grandma’s house…”
Quincy raised an eyebrow and stared at her coldly. “Don’t make me ask twice. Tell me honestly, where have you been?” After all, even if Angela had gone to Charlotte’s house, it was still too late. The house was small, and she could have seen it hundreds of times by now. Thus, she should have come back sooner.
“I went to the cemetery to visit her,” Angela admitted, knowing she couldn’t hide the truth. from Quincy.

Quincy frowned and asked, “Why did you suddenly go to the cemetery?”
Angela pursed her lips and lowered her head, unsure what to say.
The only people who knew about her treatment of Jonathan were the Lawsons, and they believed her.
She wondered if Quincy would believe her if she told him about it. After all, she dared to use Jonathan as a practice when she had only learned little medical knowledge from Charlotte.
“Forget it. Go wash up and rest early. Don’t let Uncle Donald worry about you again.” Quincy glanced at her faintly. Then, he went back to his room.
Angela breathed a sigh of relief when Quincy didn’t continue questioning.
The next morning at the breakfast table, Angela took out an envelope she had prepared. yesterday and handed it to Donald.
Donald was taken aback. When he realized it was money, his face immediately turned sour. “What are you doing? I don’t want your money!” As he spoke, he threw the sealed letter onto the table.
Angela smiled and tried to comfort him. “Uncle Donald, you can keep the money. This is my first time showing gratitude to you with the money I’ve earned. Do you think it’s too little?”
On the other hand, Emilia’s eyes were fixated on the envelope when she heard it was money.
Donald’s expression softened when he heard Angela’s explanation. There was no problem with gratitude, but he felt that there were other things she could do instead of giving him.
money.
Donald could also guess Angela’s intention in giving him the money. She knew it all and wanted to appease Emilia by giving her money.
However, Donald couldn’t bring himself to accept the money.
Seeing that Donald wouldn’t take it, Emilia decided to take matters into her own hands. She smiled and said, “Since it’s Angela’s gratitude, you should keep it. If you feel embarrassed to accept it, I’ll take it for you.” Then, she eagerly opened the envelope, revealing hundreds of dollars. At that moment, she found Angela more pleasing to the eye.
Angela took the opportunity and said, “By the way, Uncle Donald, I have something to tell you. Grandma’s house is renovated, so I’ll be moving back this week. Thank you for letting me stay here these days.”
3/4
“That’s too sudden… Can’t you wait a couple more days before moving? I can help you move. your things and check out the place where you’ll be living. Be careful. Those workers might not have done a great job and deceived you.” Donald was reluctant to let her leave. He was also afraid that the Kins would bully Angela once she returned.
Quincy said, “It’s her own fault for being deceived because she’s stupid. Do you think you can take care of her for the rest of your life? Don’t strain yourself to help. I’ll do it.”
Donald became infuriated and slapped Quincy in the head, causing the latter to cry out.
Looking at the scene, Angela smiled warmly.
At that moment, her phone buzzed. Angela glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was James.
After contemplating for a few seconds, Angela returned to her room before answering the call.
“Angela, Mom’s birthday is coming up this week. I don’t care if you still want to throw a tantrum, but remember to come home on that day!”
