Chapter 180: Honest to Thomas Moon
"Uncle Moon, there’s something I want to ask you," Alex said, standing beside him with his gaze fixed on Aurora’s tombstone.
Alex found himself in this place for the first time without his heart aching. Each visit had left him feeling down and burdened in previous months, knowing that Aurora, the woman he loved, was gone. Forever!
"Want to ask something? What’s bothering you, young master?" Thomas asked, gently pulling Alex from his deep thoughts. "Why don’t we chat at home?"
Alex finally turned to face Thomas Moon.
His expression stayed calm and composed, yet he felt a bubbling excitement to share all the wonderful details about his daughter.
But his grandfather’s face flashed in his mind, instantly ruining his excitement. The anger returned, and his calm expression changed to something dark.
Thomas spoke again after a few moments of silence. Alex didn’t respond to his question, and his gaze reflected his feelings.
"Young Master, why do you look distressed? Is something truly troubling you?"
"Uncle, let’s sit over there..."
Alex walked toward the garden bench nearby without waiting for Thomas Moon to say something.
Once Alex noticed Thomas sitting beside him, he asked, "Uncle, it’s good to have you here. Anyway, I want to ask about something important to you. Please bear with me." He briefly paused to catch his breath before continuing, "Have you ever let my grandpa use your cell phone?"
