“Yosef, stop!”

Old Godfather immediately intervened, “Emmanuel didn’t mean any harm. There’s no need to further amplify the

sadness at this point.”

Yosef halted, but his expression couldn’t regain its former composure.

Susie looked at him, understanding that he must be feeling very upset right now.

He had been in love with Queenie for over 20 years and had silently waited for her to change her mind. He believed

strongly that Queenie would ultimately choose him, especially after learning about Emmanuel’s marriage.

Yosef had always known that Queenie never really had a boyfriend. The men she brought home during New Year’s

Day were all intentionally meant to provoke Emmanuel.

He was the one who understood Queenie the most and was the most tolerant toward her. But he definitely couldn’t

have expected that instead of Queenie changing her mind, he would ultimately receive news of her death.

It must be disappointing and painful to wait for a love that would never be reciprocated.

“Emmanuel, you’re responsible for Queenie’s death. The money your family gave me won’t be enough!” At that

moment, Queenie’s mother, Nancy Griffin, approached and sarcastically demanded money from Emmanuel.

“How much more do you want?” Mackenzie didn’t wait for Emmanuel to respond and asked coldly.

“You only gave our family 45 thousand, but my daughter is so beautiful. She’s worth at least 150 thousand!” Nancy

made an exorbitant demand that even her husband thought the same, not to mention the villagers around them.

The average annual income in Hero’s Village was only 4,500. How could anyone think their daughter was worth 150

thousand?

But Mackenzie sneered, “Fine, I’ll give you another 105 thousand, but you’re not allowed to mention this to

Emmanuel again!”

“Really?” Nancy suddenly looked pleasantly surprised, as if she had forgotten that it was Queenie’s funeral. Even

her husband and Howard instantly stopped feeling sad.

“I don’t have time to joke with you.”

Mackenzie took out a pre-prepared card and handed it to Alessandra while saying, “Mom, there’s 150 thousand in

this card. When the Banner family pays you back the 45 thousand, give it to them.”

“This-” Alessandra hesitated, feeling that it wasn’t right for her daughter-in-law to pay for it. Besides, Queenie had

done this voluntarily!

“It’s fine, Mom. Just do as Mackenzie said,” Roselynn quickly persuaded her. 150 thousand was nothing to

Mackenzie. It was about taking care of Emmanuel’s feelings and helping him solve the problem. Why is Mom being

so hesitant?

“Well, okay.” Alessandra nodded and decided to resolve this conflict for her son and daughter-in-law.

Emmanuel smiled at Mackenzie and said, “Mackenzie, thank you!”

He felt that Mackenzie was spoiling him too much. Not only did she not blame him, but she also took the initiative to

help him deal with the aftermath of his childhood sweetheart’s passing.

He really didn’t know where to find such a wife in his next life.

“Why thank me? I just want you to solve the problem quickly and go home to rest!” Mackenzie pretended to be

cold.

Emmanuel loved seeing her pretended indifference and instinctively held her hand tightly.

“Tsk. Tk. This is torturing us single folks!” Shane complained to Frederick.

He thought he would get a response, but to his surprise, Frederick had a puzzled look on his face and said, “Who is

‘us’? Who said I’m single?”

D*mn!

Shane immediately stared at Frederick in astonishment and asked, “Wait. So, you’ve found a girlfriend too?”

Frederick proudly tilted his chin up. His expression confirmed it all without words, making Shane understand.

After the funeral, everyone left the hilltop, and only Yosef remained.

He stood in front of Queenie’s grave, humming the theme song of “Jewel in the Palace.” His smile was warm, but it

carried a heartbreaking sadness.

As night fell, Susie gently pushed Old Godfather forward, and her heart ached to see him in this state.

“Yosef, it’s time to go back,” Old Godfather’s voice remained as steady as ever.

With his age of over a hundred, he had witnessed too much joy and sorrow, so he had become accustomed to

everything.

“Old Godfather!” Yosef stood up and performed a respectful bow to him before sighing. “I won’t go back. I can’t go

back.”

Old Godfather asked, “Why?”
