Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618: Chapter 618

The entire congregation was swept up in their grief, tears glistening in their eyes as they watched the casket being lowered, and the gravestone being set.

"Please, everyone, bow to the departed three times."

The officiant’s words prompted everyone to bow their heads, time and time again, bidding their final farewell.

With the heavy snowfall, the world turned white.

Celeste knelt on the snowy ground, clutching the gravestone, unwilling to leave. Alger knelt beside her, staring at their daughter’s portrait on the stone, weeping bitterly.

The Temple family relatives couldn’t persuade them to leave, so they thanked the guests on their behalf.

The guests left in an orderly manner.

Kenneth and Louisa wanted to stay longer with them.

Clark watched the two kneeling figures from a distance. They seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant, their backs hunched as if crushed by their grief.

"Crystal, I promise to take good care of your parents and ensure their safety," Clark said, looking at Crystal’s photo on the gravestone, his eyes welling up with tears. "I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry."

Crystal’s portrait on the gravestone smiled brilliantly as always.

Seeing Clark standing in the snow for a long time, like a statue, Rosemary couldn’t help but approach him.

"Clark, let’s go. Let them stay with Crystal a bit longer."

There was no use staying. Alger and Celeste just wanted to be alone with their daughter.

All the apologies and guilt were futile.

"Okay."

Clark eventually looked away, leaving the cemetery with a heavy heart.

"Clark, I found a few leads last night, related to those people. I sent them to your WhatsApp," Rosemary said, knowing that what Clark wanted most at this moment was to avenge Crystal.

"Same here. I sent you the details from my guys," Romeo added, forwarding all the information he’d received to Clark.

"I’ve also found a few leads. Hopefully, this time, we can get them all," Clark said, his voice filled with grief and outrage. "You guys go ahead, I’ll leave in a bit."

He still wanted to stay outside the cemetery, to spend a little more time with Crystal.

Rosemary nodded and left with Romeo. They didn’t go to the wake but went back to Reflections Villa.

"When Mom and Dad get back, I’ll ask for Grandpa’s address. We might need to travel abroad," Rosemary volunteered.

Romeo wrapped a scarf around her neck and said gently, "Alright. Let me know what’s up."

"Be careful on the road." Rosemary took off the scarf he had just put on her and put it back on him. "It’s cold outside and I’m almost home. I don’t need it."

Romeo had never had Rosemary help him with his scarf before, and watching her intent and beautiful eyes made him smile gently.

"Get inside. It’s snowing," Romeo said indulgently. "I’ll leave after you’re inside."

"You go ahead."

"I want to see you go in."

In the end, Rosemary couldn’t argue with him any longer. Seeing the snow getting heavier, she quickly entered Reflections Villa.

Romeo knew that Rosemary was hurrying because she didn’t want him to be out in the cold any longer.

Rosemary strolled towards the main building of Reflections Villa. As she glanced back, she noticed the snowflakes landing on a man’s figure. He lifted his hand, seemingly waving goodbye.

Rosemary waved back and proceeded into the house.

"Rose, I was wrong!"
