Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 483

“Mother, I didn’t mean to upset you. I just don’t know what to do in a situation like this.”

Grace Lockwood said, “Tomorrow is the fiftieth anniversary of his death. We must hold a grand service. We’ve been preparing for this for a long time. It would be a waste of everyone’s effort not to proceed.”

“But Father-in-law might still be alive. Should we really go all out?” Mrs. Lockwood asked cautiously, her heart twisted in knots.

*This is so infuriating,* she thought. *These traditions can be a real killer sometimes.* Everything had to be done perfectly, or it would cause gossip. Other relatives would criticize them for not holding a service for the fiftieth anniversary, but he was supposedly alive. Since they hadn't seen him in person, how could they explain it to the rest of the family? And what if that young punk was just messing with them? Mrs. Lockwood felt like her head was going to explode. It was too difficult, just too difficult.

Grace Lockwood said, “Even if that old man’s bones aren’t in the ground, in my heart, he died fifty years ago. He ignored us for fifty years, and now he wants to rise from the grave? All the more reason to hold a proper service and put his ghost to rest!”

Natalie and Terence exchanged a glance. Everyone felt conflicted. Honestly, the fact that the matriarch’s husband—Terence’s grandfather—was alive should have been happy news. But who would have thought he’d faked his death, remarried, and had a whole other family? What did that make the matriarch’s decades of devotion?

But thankfully, the matriarch was a resilient woman. It made sense. Grace Lockwood, the legendary woman who had steered the Lockwood family through an era of war and turmoil, was no one to be trifled with.
