Jack Wayne stared blankly at the little girl with a smile. Indeed, he had investigated on her growing up environment. If she had grown up in a family without love, her personality would definitely be very gloomy, but Gloria Miller didn't seem to be affected by her personality. She was still like an innocent child sometimes, with a pure heart, and the only difference was the sadness written on her face when she faced her father's endless demands for money.
She could get over this matter, but why was he holding on to it so tightly?
Moreover, he was still a man. What reason did he have to be half—dead?
"Gloria!" Jack Wayne reached out to hug her tightly, then leaned into her ear and apologized in a low voice, "I shouldn't have been so fierce towards you just now, but it was my fault. I wasn't able to control my temper.
Gloria Miller had already understood what kind of man Jack Wayne was. Although he seemed cold and arrogant, he was willing to let go of his pride for the majority of the time.
"I know you're not in a good mood, but I can't comfort you. If you're dissatisfied, it's good to let off some anger!" Gloria Miller said with a sigh.
"Aren't you angry with me?" Jack Wayne released her hand, placed both of his hands on her shoulders, and nervously looked at her expression and asked.
Gloria Miller shook his head: "No, I know you are not a person who likes to throw a tantrum, you just met with trouble!"
Jack Wayne nodded his head: "Gloria, my mood is much better now, I want to beg you for a favor."
"What is it?" Gloria Miller's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
"I want you to accompany me to my grandfather's funeral tomorrow!" Jack Wayne pleaded in a low voice.
"Huh?" Gloria Miller had thought that he was begging for something else, but she didn't expect that he had actually decided to bring her to see his family, and furthermore, it was to suddenly appear at his grandfather's funeral.
"Scared?" Jack Wayne's eyes dimmed, thinking that she did not want to accompany him.
Gloria Miller bit her lips and said softly: "Everyone from your family will be here, if I go with you, will I be able to see them?"
"Yes, you will meet them, but I really want to bring you to meet my grandfather. Even if it's too late, I still want you to accompany me to kowtow!" Jack Wayne leaned against a wall on the side. Actually, two days before Grandfather's accident, Jack Wayne had already prepared to bring Gloria Miller to meet her grandfather and grandmother, and wanted to invite the two elders over for a meal so they could see his future wife.
He didn't think that his grandfather would leave just like that after things happened so suddenly. He truly felt upset in his heart.
"Alright, I will go!" Gloria Miller could tell that he was very sad, and did not want to make him upset again.
Jack Wayne gazed down, and his gaze focused on her face. He lightly swiped his finger across her cheek: "Gloria, it's definitely because I've used all of my luck in my life to meet you."
Gloria Miller was startled, following that, her face flushed red.
If what happened that day in the hotel could be considered as a kind of meeting, then she really didn't want to have to do it again.
Jack Wayne was also startled, as if he had mentioned something that he shouldn't have. He couldn't help but let out a light cough. "You cook. I'll go clean up the room!"
"Alright!" Seeing that he had finally recovered his previous state, Gloria Miller's mood calmed down.
Early morning the next day, Old Wayne's funeral was held around ten in the morning. Halfway up the mountain to the east of the cemetery, he chose the best cemetery. It was beautifully constructed and was a rare Feng Shui treasure.
Aside from his family, the ones who came to see him off were his friends. At his age, there weren't many friends, and most of them had gray hair. However, they still carried their walking sticks and came trembling to send their old friend off on his final journey.
Everyone was dressed in the same black, and it was snowing.
Old Wayne's friends were all brought here by their families as escorts, and at this moment, an umbrella was held up by Edwards Wayne's bodyguards above the elderly's head. Lily and Lareina held the child in one hand, and some people helped them to hold the umbrella.
Standing beside Joshua Wayne was Elizabeth Jones. Her lower abdomen moved slightly, and it was unknown if it was because of the sadness in her heart, causing her to feel that at this moment, the baby in her womb was moving so strongly, causing her eyes to become inexplicably red.
