My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2176

In the end, we couldn't bring Irvin back.

The funeral was arranged three days later. Shirley locked herself at home and did not attend the funeral while we dealt with Irvin's post- death matters.

After that, I personally sent Daniel home.

The door was not completely shut. I pushed the door open and led the child in. The house was empty with no one in sight.

When the owner was gone, it was not home. It was just a house.

Dust layered the floor. With every step we took, it left a trail. It seemed that the servants had been dismissed for some time.

We found Shirley in the master bedroom. She was still in the wedding dress she had on the other day. Her eyes were blank, staring out the window, holding Irvin's favorite suit close to her body.

"Mom..." Daniel's small eyebrows wrinkled together, and his eyes were filled with pain and surprise.

I let go of his hand, and he trotted over to her. He tried to nudge her arm with his little hand. "Mom, what's wrong?"

Shirley had no response at all. It was as if we weren't in the room with her.

Daniel was puzzled and looked at me for help.

I walked into the room, raised my voice, and said, "Shirley? Can you hear me? I've brought Daniel to you." Nothing changed; she did not move at all. She was like a statue that had completely fused with the ground.

"Who is it?"

Suddenly, a sound came from behind me. I thought I was hallucinating, but I turned around after a moment.

A woman stood at the door. She looked much older than me, and was staring at us in confusion. She felt like a kind person. I figured she was someone easy to get along with.

"I am a friend of the owner. You are?"

She wore jades and pearls. With that, I assumed she was not any ordinary person; perhaps she was one of Irvin's relatives.

Although Shirley had Irvin's child,

they were not a registered couple. They did not have a wedding either Without credentials, the Ministry of Public Security would naturally contact the deceased's close retatives.

"You must be tryin's friend, right? Shirley never mentioned you before." The woman's eyes were clear. Her presence and the way she carried herself indicated that she was a capable woman. She introduced herself before I could say anything. "I'm J, Shirley's mother."

As she spoke, she walked towards Shirley. She lifted her arm and tried to pull her up, but because she was feeble, she had a very hard time doing so.

I quickly stepped forward and reached out to help. It took me a lot of effort to move Shirley to the bed.

"Thank you." J thanked me softly and focused on dressing her daughter's hair.

She was a mess, but probably felt a bit of tenderness and warmth in the presence of her mother. She must have missed the feeling of being pampered for a long time.

I didn't want to disturb their reunion.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, when I saw Daniel standing next to me, I bit my lower lip and did not dare to approach them, but I couldn't bear to leave the

child behind either.

I raised my hand and pulled Daniel to face Shirley and J. I introduced him to them, "J, this is

Shirley's son, your grandson."

I deliberately avoided mentioning Irvin's relationship with the child. After all, she had a fight with her family because of him.

Upon hearing this, J calmly turned her face and glanced at him. Her expression did not change. "He really does look like a carbon copy of that man. He is indeed his child."

Her tone was indifferent and distant, like that of a bystander.

The words "that man " hinted at plenty of sadness and discontent.
