Lucian calmed down the housekeeper and immediately called Cayden to have the latter prepare for handling the death at the Jarvis residence.
Roxanne didn't want to go back there that night. With a father like that, there was no need to even see him one last time.
Lucian spent the whole night talking to Roxanne, and it was not until three or four in the morning that they felt sleepy. After she fell asleep, he continued to gently hold her in his arms.
They didn't sleep for long, as there were still many things to do.
When Elias and Sonya learned the news, they didn't express much sadness or sorrow. Instead, they pondered why Grant had committed suicide. Is it due to guilt toward his ex-wife or because he wanted to protect his mistress?
“Mom, Dad, let's keep Grant's funeral simple. We don't need to make it public either. We'll pay our respects today and send him away tomorrow!” Roxanne told the older couple.
“Okay, then the children should skip school today. Let's all go and pay our respects. After all, he was their grandfather.” Elias nodded in agreement.
The family made preparations according to Roxanne's wishes by handling everything simply. The three children also had some understanding of their maternal grandfather's death.
“Mommy, I think Granddad must have gone to be with Granny. Don't be too sad!” Estella comforted Roxanne.
Archie and Benny also nodded in agreement.
At that, Roxanne hugged the three children and kissed their cheeks.
From that day on, Roxanne left the Jarvis family for good and belonged only to the Farwell family.
In the afternoon, a wake was set up in the Jarvis residence. Roxanne and the children went to pay their respects and handle the funeral, with Lucian and his parents accompanying them throughout the whole ordeal.
