Chapter 758 - The Solemn Funeral (1/2)

Marie never expected that she could really forget about her pain by screaming her hearts out in Universal Studios. In fact, she didn't remember when she felt such happiness in her whole life.

Suddenly, three hours passed... just like that. Marie almost lost her voice for screaming too much during the rides, she could barely speak. However, her eyes were filled with happiness. When they finally got off the last ride, it was already 4 pm.

”Thank you for taking me here,” Marie touched Nicolae's hand and rubbed the back of the man's hand with a grateful expression. She looked at him deeply. ”I'm not too sad right now.”

Nicolae nodded with a smile. He ruffled Marie's hair gently, like to a child. ”I am glad to hear that.”

Nicolae then took Mary's hand and brought her back to the parking lot. He opened the passenger door for the girl, then get into the driver's seat. They did not say anything along the way back to the crematorium.

Nicolae glanced sideways several times and he was satisfied to see that Marie's face looked brighter. He felt a little relieved that he managed to console her. He knew losing a parent was a heartbreaking experience because he had been in a similar position.

He hoped after he left the girl, Marie would slowly recover and return to her original self. In a few days, Nicolae would go to Grosetto and return Altair and Vega to their parents.

He still didn't know what he wanted to do afterward. Maybe he would visit Terry's place in New York and stay there for some time and find out what he wanted in life.

He did not want to keep staying away from his family just because he still harbored love for his brother's wife. If that didn't work ... then he would go back on adventures and see the world.

During his six-year adventure around the world, he had met so many travelers and witness so many less fortunate people lived. That made him count his blessings and appreciated his life more. He also started learning new languages ​​and cultures. They had made his life richer.

Ah, that reminded him, he must immediately prepare for his departure. Tomorrow, he and the children must start packing because they had to leave for Italy in two days.

Those thoughts managed to divert Nicolae's attention from the sadness that filled her c.h.e.s.t when she saw Marie grieving for her mother's death. He thought a lot about his departure to Grosetto and his life after he went back to being alone, without Altair and Vega. At the same time, Marie was contemplating her fate. She also had nobody in the world and had officially become an orphan.

The journey toward the crematorium was very quiet. When they arrived back at the crematorium, the staff immediately took them to the waiting room. There, a jar containing Mrs. Lu's ashes had been prepared for them. Sadness immediately returned to Marie, but she managed to hold back and not cry.
