Chapter 279 Grandpa's Memorial Ceremony
"Marty and Susan are very sensitive about their reputation. If we let them and everyone else see that
scene, and I tell them about Norah and Shawn being divorced, even if Shawn doesn't want to marry
me, he'll have to."
Rosalyn looked at her in awe and said, "Lily, you are so right."
"And..." Lilian's eyes turn cold. She continued, "Don't forget the Fountain family will be there."
"The Fountain family will definitely go to the memorial ceremony for your grandfather. If they see me
and Shawn back together, they'll surely use every possible way to force Shawn to marry me, even if
they have to risk their lives."
"After all, there are no more snobbish parents than them. It is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
make them rich, so they'll take it even if it will cost their lives."
"Lily, don't worry. I'm sure I'll help you. I'll find a way to get my brother to drink that glass of water that
night, but how are you going to get in there?" asked Rosalyn.
"A lot of people will be going to the memorial ceremony for your grandfather. The Lawson family will
definitely let their guard down that day. Besides, they won't expect me to be able to get up and walk
already. Even if I walk in the broad daylight, no one will stop me."
"Alright. If my brother drinks that glass of water, I'll help him rest in the west room. You just wait there."
"Hmm." Lilian nodded.
Lilian had all sorts of excited looks on her face as she thought about what would happen that day.
Lilian thought, 'Fine! Very well! Didn't Shawn's grandfather dislike me? Didn't he do everything he could
to break Shawn and me up?
I'm going to have sex with Shawn on that specific day. I'll choose exactly the date of the memorial
ceremony for his grandfather.
I'm going to make his grandfather watch it. I'll make him regret it and turn over in his grave.
Haha..."
Lilian couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought.
She had a sinister and terrifying look on her face.
That day was coming soon.
Her day was coming soon too.
Lilian had plenty of ways to get herself pregnant, so she had nothing to fear at all.
The memorial ceremony for her grandfather would be held on Saturday, so Norah didn't have to ask for
a leave.
Norah woke up at the crack of dawn. Once she had just put on her clothes and shoes, she got a call
from Shawn. "I'll meet you downstairs."
"Alright. I'll be right down."
Because Norah and Shawn were attending a memorial ceremony, both were wearing long black coats.
On their chests, they pinned a white flower.
Both were in a low mood. Neither one offered to say anything. They were silent the entire time.
They stayed that way until they were almost out of the car. Shawn took out the jewelry box from his
side and took the green jade bracelet out of it. "My parents don't know we're divorced yet. They got
suspicious about it when they saw that you did not wear the bracelet last time."
"And the bracelet was given to you by Grandpa himself. Since we came together to see him today, you
definitely have to wear the bracelet."
Norah was cooperative this time.
She took the bracelet and put it directly on her hand without even thinking about it.
If God really existed, or if Shawn's grandfather could watch her from heaven, she knew that
grandfather would definitely want her to wear this jade bracelet.
The weather today was just as bad as the day Shawn's grandfather died.
The moment Norah and Shawn got out of the car, a sudden gust of strong wind hit them.
Shawn spontaneously took Norah's hand. "It's windy. Let's walk together."
"Hmm."
When they arrived, Shawn's parents were already there.
Norah knelt in front of the photo of Shawn's deceased grandfather with Shawn and Shawn's parents.
"Dad, we came to see you!"
"Grandpa, we came to see you!"
The four of them said at the same time. They kowtowed at the same time when they finished.
After they kowtowed three times, each of them didn't get up.
After quite a while, Shawn picked up Norah and said, "You're weak. The ground is cold here. And it's
very cold today. If you kneel for a long time, it'll be bad for your health."
"Get up first. It's the same if you stand."
Norah shook her head and said, "All of them are kneeling. I want to be like you guys."
"Norah..."
As Shawn was about to talk Norah down again, Susan said, "Shawn, let her be. After all, today is the
memorial ceremony for your grandfather. If she doesn't kneel in front of Grandpa, she will feel
uncomfortable inside."
"Thanks, Mum."
Susan kowtowed once again. "Dad, it's been a while since you passed away, but I wanted to update
you on what's been going on in our family. Please rest assured. Everything is fine with us. Norah and
Shawn are fine now. They are not divorced. They have not failed you."
"As for the business of the Lawson family, Shawn and I will definitely help you keep it. And we will carry
it forward. We will never let the family fortune fall into the hands of outsiders."
As Norah listened to her words, she felt unusually upset inside because she knew she had failed
Shawn's grandfather.
She didn't know how to say that she and Shawn were divorced.
She didn't know how to tell Shawn's grandfather that she was sorry. She was the one who had failed to
protect Shawn's grandfather's great-grandson, so she couldn't hold her baby boy in her arms to see
him today.
Norah felt even sadder when she thought about the baby she lost.
Since Susan and Marty had guests at the house, they went ahead and left.
Norah and Shawn left after a while.
"There's something I want to talk to my grandfather alone," said Shawn.
"Alright."
Norah went to the side and waited for Shawn.
No sooner had Norah left than Shawn immediately plopped down on his knees.
"Grandpa, I've been a terrible grandson. I'm sorry. I failed you, Norah is such a good girl, but I didn't
cherish her. Instead, I hurt her. I lost her from my world."
"I didn't protect her or the baby either. I made her suffer a lot of pain. Grandpa, I've understood
everything you said to me. You don't have to worry. I will definitely get her back."
"Don't worry. Since Norah is your approved granddaughter-in-law, no one can take her away."
"Grandpa, if you are watching me from above, please help me get Norah back as soon as possible. I
will let you have a cute little great-grandson as early as possible."
After saying that, Shawn kowtowed three times and got up to leave.
He still held Norah's hand because the path down the hill was not very smooth.
When they reached the bottom of the hill, without the cover of the trees, Norah saw Shawn's parents
not far ahead.
It seemed that there was something going on between Shawn's parents. They looked like they were in Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
a heated argument about something.
When Susan looked at Marty, she was shaking with anger.
Susan pointed one finger at Marty and said, "Marty, don't even think about it. If you're going to keep
that woman, I'm leaving. If you bring that woman over today, I'll leave right now."
"Also, I just swore in front of Grandpa that I would guard the family business of the Lawson family. I will
definitely not let anyone else get a touch of it."
Norah immediately stepped away. She was just about to step forward when Shawn yanked her back.
"Let them handle this on their own. My mum didn't argue in front of us because she didn't want us to
worry. If we show up in front of them now, it'll just embarrass her."
"So we just leave it?"
"Don't worry. Eventually, my dad will compromise," said Shawn.
For the first time, Norah was curious about the relationship between her in-laws.
She didn't even understand why her in-laws never wanted a divorce if they were at this point.
"Do you want to know why?" asked Shawn.
Shawn seemed to see that Norah was curious about it.
