Capítulo 1689: Chapter 1689: Taking the Final Desperate Path
In the dead of night, past twelve o’clock.
The temperature kept falling, and the atmosphere grew colder. The entire city of Landon felt like a gigantic ice cellar, exuding a chilling aura.
On the night of Qingming Festival, there’s always sothing different in the air.
There were half as many people on the streets compared to usual, most of them in a hurry.
Not many would go out at this ti.
The shadows of the trees flickered, the night sky hung low, only the streetlights emitting a faint, chilly glow.
Cetery.
A few eternal lamps were still lit, while Tor and the servants had already retired.
Neither Sylvan Cheney nor Charles Mcintosh had returned, and both had left in a hurry, as if sothing urgent demanded their attention.
Tor couldn’t quite fathom what urgent matter there could be. It happened to be the company’s holiday these days unless sothing major had occurred, they wouldn’t have left so abruptly.
What could it be?
Tor couldn’t figure it out and decided not to dwell on it further.
The cetery was exceptionally quiet at such an hour, and the wind’s howl was a mournful sound.
Each year around this ti, a pain clutched at Tor’s heart, sotis intense enough to keep sleep at bay. Tossing and turning, unable to find rest through the night.
This year was no different.
It was past midnight, and she still hadn’t fallen asleep. Turning over, there was still not a trace of drowsiness.
This was a secluded cetery, surrounded by picturesque mountains and waters, ensuring no outsiders would disturb the tranquility of the grounds.
Closing her eyes, all she could see was the visage of the young lady.
The young lady was a strong-willed person, yet only in front of Teagan Cheney did she show a softer side.
Everyone in the Cheney Residence knew that Qiana Childe loved Teagan Cheney to her very core. At the sa ti, it was equally known that Teagan Cheney didn’t love Qiana Childe.
It was said that the young lady was shrewd, clever, equal to any man, yet when it ca to love, she was an unrivaled fool.
Teagan Cheney had almost nothing, yet the young lady nad the Cheney Residence after the “Cheney” surna and even the group bore the “Cheney Family” na. Even after Teagan Cheney abandoned her and went abroad, she never changed Sylvan Cheney’s na.
Every thought of Teagan Cheney made Tor clench her teeth in anger.
That man, beyond a superficial exterior, had nothing at all, possessing a character as rotten as could be.
The young lady had no experience in love, fell in love at first sight with Teagan Cheney, and gave her all to him.
Before marriage, Teagan Cheney treated Qiana Childe very well, taking care of her every need.
After marriage, once the child was born, he changed completely, indulging in debauchery and transferring assets.
Despite everything, the young lady never complained, always waiting for the day Teagan Cheney would return to her side.
At the very least, they still had a child together.
Yet, Qiana Childe refused to admit that Teagan Cheney had no room for her in his heart.
After he went abroad, Teagan Cheney never returned, got married, had children, and lived a carefree life.
It wasn’t until Qiana Childe drowned herself by jumping into a river that he ca back, yet all he saw were her ashes and her grave.
Tor still rembered that day, Teagan Cheney returned without a trace of sorrow on his face. When he glanced at Sylvan Cheney, it was but a fleeting look as if he disliked this son.
A marriage devoid of love was dood to be a failure.
It’s a pity that the intelligent Qiana Childe remained a blank slate in matters of love, understanding nothing, while longing and hoping against hope.
Tor thought, if only after the family tragedy, Teagan Cheney had returned, stayed with the young lady, her mood would have improved considerably, and she might not have taken that final, irreversible step.
As she thought about it, tears began to flow uncontrollably from Tor’s eyes.
