GoodReadOf course, Ben had no objection. A junior in the Tank family mumbled. When Larry looked over coolly, Jessie shut up and didn't dare say another word.
This was the third time Scarlett had held her family's urn. When her parents died, she was the one who carried two urns with her parents’ ashes and followed the hearse to the cemetery for burial.
No one of Booker's family showed up, leaving Justin and Alexis with her for the entire session.
And now she was holding the urn. Her grandmother Kate Brown weighed more than 50kg when she was alive, but now her ashes only weighed 0.5kg.
Life was so heavy and so light.

It was already dark when they came out of the cemetery.
Rowan was in poor health and would get rheumatism on rainy days. He stood for over an hour before Scarlett and Larry persuaded him back.
The Tank family's relatives had left, leaving her and Larry in the cemetery.
Scarlett had been with Kate for the past few days while listening to her stories from Viviana. She felt fate always played tricks with them and also felt sorry that she hadn't discovered her mother's secret earlier.
After her parents died, she rarely rummaged through their belongings. But if she had looked hard enough, she might have found an amulet of jade, which Kate had paid a fortune to have carved for Petty when she was born.
Scarlett had actually seen that jade before, but it was when she was a child. She was too young to think about it too much at that time.
But if she rummaged through the piece of jade later and saw the word "Tank" carved on it, she would have been suspicious.
Kate was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer five years ago. If she had found it out earlier, she might have been able to chat and go shopping with Kate.
Kate's only dying wish was to hug her. This showed that Kate loved and cherished her, Kate's granddaughter, who never met with Kate.
But there was no "if".
"It's getting dark. Let's go back." Said Larry beside her. Scarlett glanced sideways at him and said, "Larry, did Grandma hug you a lot?" She suddenly remembered that when she was three years old, she followed Petty back to Kyleigh's house. She thought that Kyleigh was a kind old lady, so she opened her arms for a hug but was pushed away by Kyleigh and fell to the floor.

She was in pain and dizzy from the fall. She looked blankly at her "grandmother" and couldn't even cry.
She didn't understand why at that time. It wasn't that she wasn't Kyleigh's favorite, but Kyleigh was never her "grandmother".
"No, Grandma likes girls," Larry said.
After a pause, he continued, "She liked you so much that she was smiling when she died. Don't feel bad." "Well." Scarlett replied, withdrawing her gaze, "Larry, let's go." 'How can | not feel bad?" Scarlett followed Larry out of the cemetery. It was getting dark and the lights on either side were dim in the rain, but Scarlett saw Raymond.
Holding an umbrella, he stood not far away under an old budding tree. He looked straight at her through the rain and the dim lights with his dark eyes.
Scarlett took one look at him and then withdrew her gaze. Larry saw him and then frowned, "Raymond?" "Yes." Scarlett didn't want to talk to him and even wasn't in the mood.
