Chapter 934
Kaylie couldn’t help but sob.
Connor could only say to Rosalie, “Let her cry. She has been bottling up her emotions for too long.” However, Kaylie cried so sadly that Rosalie couldn’t help but wonder about it.
After a long time, Kaylie slowly stopped crying and spoke to Rosalie. “Rosie, I… I wanted to light candles for your grandfather and… I made some dried fruits and wanted to set them for your grandfather here. I hope he likes it.”
Kaylie took out a few lunch boxes from the bags and opened them, which were full of homemade Strico dishes.
Rosalie frowned because she had never seen Kaylie cook homemade Strico dishes when Rosalie was in Lofbury before.
As such, Rosalie wondered if Kaylie had specially learned how to prepare those Strico dishes for that occasion.
Meanwhile, Kaylie had already taken out the candles and put them in place.
When Connor bent down to light the candles, Kaylie said, “I’ll do it myself.”
Upon hearing that, Connor handed the candles to Kaylie.
With tears in her eyes, Kaylie lit the candles. She stood in front of the tomb with a candle in her hand and murmured at Lucian’s tombstone, “Rest in peace. If there is a next life, I hope you can live a happy life.”
In her mind, Kaylie promised that she would do anything to make up for her mistakes if there were a next life.
“Do you really think my father can rest in peace?” Jonathan’s voice suddenly came from behind them, which made Kaylie’s body stiffen.
Kaylie found Jonathan’s voice familiar to her.
“Jon, you’re here!” Rosalie greeted Jonathan.
“Yes, I’m.” Jonathan looked at Kaylie coldly. After a while, he lowered his head and held Rosalie’s hand. “Do you remember what you said? That no matter what happens, you will stand by my side?”
“I do. Why are you suddenly bringing this up again?” Rosalie was confused.
“It is because I have something important to do next,” Jonathan said.
Then, Jonathan looked at Kaylie again. “Do you think by doing this, you can wipe away the past, Mrs. Smuckler? How can a person like you dare to show up in front of my father?”
Kaylie’s body trembled, and Connor, who was beside her, became unhappy. After all, if Jonathan said that, it could only mean that he knew everything, including the fact that Kaylie was his long-lost mother.
Kaylie turned around and murmured, “Jonathan… Jon…”
Jonathan’s expression became colder and colder. “You don’t have the right to call me that!”
Kaylie felt a touch of pain in her eyes. “I know. I was so wrong back then. Jonathan, please forgive me! I know I was wrong. I’m wrong!”
As Kaylie said that, she knelt down with a thud.
Connor got anxious when Kaylie knelt. “You just left the hospital, and your legs have not recovered yet. If you kneel like this, your wound will tear!”
Rosalie was also surprised. “Mrs. Smuckler, what are you doing? Get up quickly. If there is anything wrong, we can talk about it!”
Rosalie tried to walk toward Kaylie, but Jonathan still held Rosalie’s hand and didn’t let go of it.
“Jon?” Rosalie looked at Jonathan in confusion.
“Let her kneel. It’s what she should do,” Jonathan said coldly.
Rosalie was stunned. At that moment, she thought that he was the Jonathan from a long time ago when he was ruthless and cold.

“Jonathan, I… I owe you and your father too much. I haven’t had a good day over the years, but I regret it all the time. Why did I leave you two so cruelly back then and cause things to become irreparable?” Kaylie burst into tears.
Rosalie shivered and stared in disbelief at Kaylie, who was kneeling on the ground. At that moment, she realized that Kaylie was most likely Jonathan’s missing mother.
Rosalie couldn’t believe it. She thought, “How is this possible?!”
However, a moment later, Rosalie heard Jonathan’s cold voice. “You really owe too much. Don’t you think it is time for you to repay me, Mother?”
Kaylie’s body suddenly became extremely stiff. Jonathan’s utterance of the word “mother” was so cold that it caused her heart to sink deeper.
Kaylie knew that Jonathan hated her.
Not only that, but the hatred had only become more intense over the years.
“Let’s get out of here first,” Connor said while helping Kaylie up, who was still crying. He continued, “This is not a place to talk. If you have any questions, let’s go somewhere else.”
Just as Connor was about to take Kaylie away, Jonathan suddenly sneered. “Mr. Smuckler, if you want to leave, you can do it at any time, but Mrs. Smuckler has to stay!”
“What do you mean?” Connor had a bad feeling.
“It means that she can’t leave without my permission.” As soon as Jonathan finished his words, a row of people in uniform black suits suddenly came over.
Rosalie recognized at a glance that those people were the bodyguards of the Youngblood family.
Those bodyguards surrounded Connor and Kaylie..
Connor couldn’t help but shout, “What… are you doing?”
Those bodyguards easily separated Connor and Kaylie. Rosalie hurriedly said to Jonathan, “Jon, what are you doing? Even if Mrs. Smuckler really is your mother…”
“Rosie, don’t forget what you said in the memorial hall yesterday. You will respect my decision and let me solve the problem between myself and my mother!” Jonathan warned.
“But…” Rosalie saw two bodyguards already pressing Kaylie’s shoulder. “Mrs. Smuckler has only left the hospital, and her legs have not recovered yet. What are you going to do?”
“What am I going to do? Since she’s here to honor my father today, she should do it properly and kneel before his grave!” Jonathan said, shooting a glance at his people.
The two bodyguards immediately pressed Kaylie down and forced her to kneel before the tombstone.
