“Is Luna troubling you? It’s okay, I’ll face anything with you. You still have me.”
Jasper was annoyed and turned off the phone, tossing it onto the table.
When the phone hit the gift box, he noticed a note underneath.
“Jasper, another year older, be a good adult. This time, I won’t wait for you.”
“Smile on your birthday.”
Jasper obediently smiled, but a tear unexpectedly fell on the letter, smudging the words. He hurriedly wiped it, only to erase the words completely.
He stared blankly at the note, suddenly covering his eyes with his hand, tears streaming down through his fingers.
Afterward, Jasper took swift action, employing the top legal team from his family to prosecute the driver responsible, ultimately achieving a heavy sentence of life imprisonment.
Once everything settled, he organized a grand memorial service for Luna.
At the memorial, Jasper stood numbly in front of the tombstone, Luna’s photo smiling, serene and bright.
Sadly, she would forever remain that age.
Every guest expressed regret, lamenting the unpredictability of life.
Near the end, a girl in a white dress suddenly walked in, holding flowers, moving slowly towards the altar.
Before she got close, someone grabbed her throat tightly.
“Who let you in?”
Lily’s face turned red as she desperately hit his hand.
Seeing this, people rushed forward to pull them apart. Lily coughed violently, then hoarsely spoke with difficulty.
“I just wanted to say goodbye…”
“Who are you to her that you need to say goodbye? Get out!”
Lily’s eyes instantly filled with tears, “Jasper…

Lily’s eyes instantly filled with tears, “Jasper…”
“Shut up! Don’t make me say it again.”
Lily lowered her head, tears falling, looking pitiful and helpless.

Some people watched, entertained, while others who didn’t understand felt sorry for the girl.
Lily bit her lip, listening to the whispered discussions around her, feeling humiliated, and suddenly turned and ran out.
At that moment, the sky started to rain, and the guests began to disperse.
Jasper stood still, quietly staring at Luna’s photo on the tombstone, the rain sliding down her cheek.
Like tears.
He reached out with a trembling hand to wipe the rain off the photo, but the rain only poured harder, impossible to wipe away.
Suddenly, Jasper fell heavily to his knees in front of Luna’s tombstone, using his body to shield the stone, oblivious to the rain pouring down on him.
“Luna, I’m sorry… Even at the end, I ruined your funeral.”
The next moment, a pair of black high heels appeared before him.
Jasper looked up to see Cora, holding an umbrella, looking down at him.
Jasper mumbled, “Did she have anything she wanted to say to me before she died?”
“Yes.”
Jasper’s eyes lit with hope.
“What did she say?”
“She said, after waiting for you all these years, she wouldn’t mind waiting one more time…”
“She still wanted to go home with you.”
After she spoke, the empty cemetery echoed with painful, desperate sobs, like a lonely, mourning bird, lingering for a long time.
In the evening, the rain continued to fall.
As Jasper drove back to Blue Water Bay from the cemetery, someone suddenly rushed out from the corner, forcing his car to a stop.
“Jasper.”
Lily stood in front of the car, without an umbrella, her wet dress clinging to her thin body, looking ever more fragile.
In the past, Jasper would’ve pulled her into his arms in an instant, but now he felt nothing, even glancing at her with a hint of disgust, his words
cold and ruthless.
“If you want to die, don’t do it in front of me.”
Lily’s face turned even paler. She thought that after Luna died, she could rightfully become Mrs. Jasper.
But ever since Luna passed, Jasper had not only ignored her but also kicked her out of the company.
Yet she didn’t know what she had done wrong, they used to be so in love.
“If dying means you’ll remember me forever, then I’d rather die.”

“If dying means you’ll remember me forever, then I’d rather die.”
“Jasper, Luna is gone now, let me stay by your side.”
Jasper’s voice was icy: “Even if she’s gone, she’ll always be Mrs. Jasper. I have no plans to remarry…”
“But I’m pregnant!”
Lily bit her lip, guiding Jasper’s hand to her belly.
“Jasper, you’re going to be a dad.”
Jasper frowned, pulling his hand away, “The apartment you’re living in now, plus five million, consider it compensation. Go and terminate the pregnancy.”
