The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2269

Rosalynn wrapped her arms around Wayne's waist with a gleam in her eyes. "I've been thinking," she said.

"Thing about what, hon?" Wayne replied, his tone light and teasing.

"How about we engrave their names on the headstone?"

Wayne pondered for a moment, his eyes downcast. "It's been ages; hardly anyone remembers them. It's a fitting tribute, really."

"Next time, let's bring Cory and Ivy with us."

Wayne was taken aback for a second. "You think that's okay?"d2

"Why wouldn't it be?" Rosalynn looked at him as if to say, 'Isn't that obvious?'

She wanted Wayne to understand.

His past wasn't a stain; there was nothing to be ashamed of.

"But how should I introduce them?" Wayne fretted, "As Grandpa and Grandma?"

"Introduce them however you feel comfortable about," Rosalynn soothed, running her hand gently down his back. "It's no big deal. You don't have to decide this instant. You've got all the time in the world to think it over."

While they chatted, they made their way to the cemetery office.

They spoke to the staff and arranged for the engraving on the tombstone.

A few days later, Rosalynn received a WhatsApp message from the cemetery caretaker.

The inscription had been completed as requested.

The final resting place of Ayden and Betsy, together in eternity.

After paying their respects, with daylight still burning, Wayne and Rosalynn played tourists for a bit, enjoying the local sights and flavors. It was only in the late afternoon that they drove back to H City.

After resting up in their apartment, they headed to the airport and caught the flight back to L City. By the time they touched down, night had enveloped L City, yet the air was still oppressively hot.
