Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 563

“I’m fine. I just happened to choke on my soup, so it’s not a big deal, Grandma.” Linda shook her hands to placate Lindsay. “What were you talking about just now? I missed out on it.”

“Oh, we were thinking of going back to Astoria to pay our respects to your mother’s grave. Since Jerry and I had not returned in a long time, we’ll also consider it as an opportunity to return to our hometown to pay our respects to our ancestors. A few days ago, Jerry and I were talking about moving your mother’s grave into our family graveyard, so that she won’t feel so lonely. However, we have no idea where her grave is.” Lindsay was feeling a little melancholic when she said that.

Similarly, Linda was wearing a look of dejection. “My mother was buried in a public cemetery. It’s great that you would like to pay her your respects, but I’m worried that the lengthy and tiring journey might take a toll on your physical bodies.”

Because Linda had been to Jessica’s grave a few times alongside Selena, she was aware of the location of Jessica’s grave. Having the Murrays pay their respects wouldn’t be much of a problem, but moving Jessica’s grave would be a different story altogether, as it would require a lot of effort. In the case that Selena discovered what they were doing, Linda would be done for.

“Look at you, worrying about our health. Linda, you sure are a considerate granddaughter.” Lindsay was grateful toward Linda’s considerateness and maturity. In fact, she was so satisfied with Linda that she saw no flaw in her.

“For now, your grandmother and I are still physically fit. Even if we can’t move your mother’s grave, we will have to at least pay her our last respects, or else we will carry that regret with us into our deaths,” Jerry lamented. “Linda, you have nothing to worry about. Your grandmother and I know what we are doing.”

When Linda glanced at Reuben, he quickly nodded. “Mom, Dad, I will have Jason make the necessary arrangements if that is what you wish to do.”

It would be better to settle such matters as soon as possible. Jason knew that if they started preparing for the trip early on, they might still be able to make it in time, but their chances of making a successful trip would become slimmer as time progressed, as both Jerry and Lindsay were already well into their eighties.

“Alright, Jason, you should begin the preparations now. We are going to pay our respects to our ancestors this time, and this might also be our final trip back to Astoria. However, make sure that everything in Yucaria is settled before we leave.”

Jason was delighted upon noticing that everyone seemed to be leaving the task up to him, as it meant he could make his way to Astoria beforehand in order to make arrangements. “Sure, Grandpa, Grandma. Don’t you worry. I will make sure that everything is taken care of.”

On the other hand, Linda had no way to turn them down, as she had no reason to do so. After returning to her room, she paced around in agitation. What should I do? I need to stop them, or else my identity will be exposed!

Back in Astoria, Selena spent a few days in bed to recover her stamina. During those few days, she felt groggy and lethargic; no matter how much she slept, she still felt exhausted. Perhaps it was because the time she spent strategizing and playing mind games while abroad was just too exhausting.

When she was still asleep under the blankets, she felt a gush of cold air before a warm body snuggled next to her underneath the covers. “Hey, stop messing around. I’m still tired.” She gave the sturdy body a shove.

“All you do is sleep. Are you going to let the moment pass?”

Whenever Selena heard that, it was akin to hearing the phrase ‘catch the moment’, so it managed to jostle her awake. However, Pierre tackled her underneath him. “Is your period over now?”

Back when Selena was in Yucaria, Pierre dared not think of having sex with her. It wasn’t only because of his leg injury, but also because of everything that had happened in Yucaria. Now that everything was settled, it turned out that Selena was having her period. The whole thing was an ordeal to Pierre.

“Not yet!” Selena quickly denied it. “I’m still on my period, so don’t you horse around!”
