Chapter 1009: 019 She is Violet Orson_4

Throughout this time, Bernard Taylor never let go of Avery Graham’s hand. Later, he took the lead in kneeling down, urging Avery to do the same, and he introduced her, "Avery, this is Violet Orson."

"Yes, Violet Orson, hello, my name is Avery Graham." Avery nodded solemnly as she introduced herself to Violet’s photograph.

Violet Orson’s face bore a tranquil smile as she looked on at those standing before her, gazing at the world.

"Violet, this is Avery, the happiness I wish to pursue for the rest of my life. Today, I brought her to meet you and so that you can see her too. With her by my side, I will be very happy, so there’s no need for you to worry about me anymore. We will live a good life." His simple words felt like a declaration, and even more, a promise.

"..." Avery just watched Bernard and then turned to look at Violet’s tombstone.

She believed that Violet must have loved Bernard very dearly at that time. Unlike Bernard who vocalized his promises, Avery silently made her own pledge to Violet in her heart, Don’t worry, Violet, I will try my utmost to keep Bernard happy.

From now on, she would never make Bernard angry again.

They burned some paper offerings for Violet and provided some fruits, meats, and wine. The two of them stayed by Violet’s grave for half an hour before leaving hand in hand.

On the way back, Avery tried to pull away again, but Bernard spoke up while holding her hand tightly, "Didn’t you make a promise just now? Since you made it, we need to show her that we are in love and happy, otherwise, how could she rest in peace and reincarnate?"

"?" Rest in peace and reincarnate? They both had higher education degrees.

Nevertheless, Avery wished that Violet could reincarnate, hoping that in her next life, she’d have a healthy body and meet someone who loved her as Bernard did. In her next life, perhaps her life would be as happy and complete as theirs.

They got into the car, and Bernard didn’t start driving for a long time. Avery remained silent, guessing that Bernard probably missed Violet. She decided to let him ponder his feelings for her.

After a while, Bernard spoke, "Avery, when should we meet the parents? Let’s get married."

"You... Is this a marriage proposal?" Avery’s eyes suddenly widened, not out of excitement but shock. She had seen many romantic proposals, where people chose a special day for it. Bernard was truly inept at choosing the time - today was Tomb Sweeping Festival, after all, when everyone was selling flowers for the dead. What was he planning to propose with?

Was he going to buy roses from a Flower Shop at this moment? Wouldn’t that make them the laughing stock?

Moreover, who meets parents on Tomb Sweeping Festival? What if they encountered some old ladies who considered feng shui and thought they were coming to curse them?

Avery really didn’t understand what Bernard was thinking.

And she wasn’t sure what to say about being proposed to on Tomb Sweeping Festival.

"It seems the preparation isn’t quite enough." Bernard smiled, not realizing that Avery was actually hung up on the timing.

"Today is Tomb Sweeping Festival, Bernard. Choosing today to propose to me, have you lost your mind?" Avery expressed her dissatisfaction directly. She wasn’t so concerned about what Bernard might prepare; it was more about not wanting a proposal on such a day - she wasn’t without her superstitions.

"..." Bernard was speechless but then broke into a smile. This girl always managed to move him and bring him joy unexpectedly, just like now. He knew Avery was concerned about timing, yet if he truly proposed, Avery probably wouldn’t reject him.

He indeed hadn’t noticed the significance of the day. Just previously, he had felt such an urge that if the Civil Affairs Bureau had been open, he might have really taken Avery to get their marriage certificate.

People around him were starting to marry, and he felt the pressure, confident Avery did too. Moreover, Celia Wade’s bridal bouquet had fortuitously landed in her hands. This seemed to indicate, even the heavens had arranged it so that the next in their circle to wed would be Avery.

"I’m hungry, let’s go eat something," Avery suddenly said, seeing Bernard just staring at her. Past experience told her not to let Bernard gaze at her this way; such intense staring often led to trouble, and she truly did not want to have an intimate encounter with Bernard in the solemn surroundings of the graveyard.
