The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2161

Natalie had always been exceptionally kind to her. No matter what she did to others, Rosalynn just couldn't bring herself to speak ill of her.

A soft drizzle fell upon the tombstone, blurring Natalie's etched smile.

"I don't know why I felt the need to come here, but it seemed right... to talk to you," Rosalynn said, gazing at Natalie's cheerful visage captured in stone.

There were too many unanswered questions in her heart, but with Natalie gone, those answers seemed forever out of reach.

Ms. Albinia and Penn had also flourished under her guidance, and she was extraordinarily tender with Rosalynn.d2

Rosalynn desperately wanted to ask Natalie why she had done what she did. She was so stringent with Ayden, yet she coddled Quentin into an overgrown, helpless man-baby. And in the end...

Rosalynn stood silent before Natalie's memorial, consoling herself with the thought that the deceased are beyond our judgment. She turned, ready to leave.

Felix, noticing her demeanor, quickly came over, taking the umbrella from Rosalynn's hand, "Ma'am, it's getting late. How about we grab a bite before heading back?"
