“Grandpa, we’ll come along with you again next year, Cameron promised Carl.
Carl nodded with a smile.
After the long journey, everyone slept soundly, the courtyard was quiet.
The next morning. John woke everyone up to prepare for the visit.
Since it was neither a public holiday nor any traditional date, there were very few people on the road.
Wearing his old army uniform, Carl looked more energetic and walked ahead of them without their support.
By the time they reached the cemetery, tears had slipped down Carl’s wrinkled face. Cameron and Yanina supported him or
either side.
Carl cleaned around the tombstone and arranged the offerings neatly. Others behind him did the same.
He opened a few bottles of wine, poured some onto the ground, took a sip, and repeated.
Worried he might drink too much, Yanina advised, “Grandpa, you should share some with your buddies.”
Carl understood, smiling, and gently patted her head.
Until noon, he started heading back after John’s persuasion. “Yanina, come ride with me.”
She walked to him. But she didn’t expect Cameron to get into Cirl’s car as well.
“Why did you come along? Carl asked.
“I want to know what you and Yanina will talk about, replied Cameron.
Carl nodded in response.
The car started and got onto the highway after driving through a muddy path for a few minutes.
Carl looked in the direction of the cemetery, closing his eyes. “Yanina, your grandpa was here earlier.”
Yanina was excited and almost stood up. She thought, ‘Eight years. I haven’t seen Grandpa for eight years. Since he came. why didn’t he meet mer‘
Tearsrolled down her face. She wanted to find her grandpa but she couldn’t because there had to be a reason for that. Carl paused before continuing. This meeting was arranged by your grandpa; he misses you a lot too.
“He asked me to tell you to live happily with Cameron and not to worry about him. He’s doing great.
“When he’s ready to see you, you’ll get to meet him.
Yanina sobbed and choked, without saying a word. She merely nodded,
Carl gently touched her head, feeling sorry for her. “He just hopes you can live a normal life.
“Staying away from trouble is the best choice. Don’t be sad, you got me and Cameron; we’re always here for you. Good

Yanina nodded firmly again.
John quickly changed the topic. “It’s a coincidence this time. Mr. Carl Zamora was worried that our sudden visit to th cemetery might raise some suspicions.
But Mr. Gavin White and his friends came over so that no one would suspect.”
the
Carl agreed and asked, “Since we’re out and have friends with us, why don’t we take this opportunity to walk around? Tm getting older, and my outings will be fewer. So accompany the to have some fun.”
Yanina wiped her tears and nodded.
Sitting next to her, Cameron put his arm around her shoulders and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Yanina’s back tensed up a bit by his embrace. But his gentle, reassuring pats soon completely eased her.
For a moment, she felt like Cameron was truly her family. She no longer held back her emotions and burst into tears. Carl wiped his tears with a handkerchief. “You’ve kept your feelings bottled up for too long. It’s good to let them all out. Yanina’s emotions, like a flood, poured out. After quite a while, she realized she was crying in Cameron’s arms.
She instinctively pushed him away and noticed his wet clothes, feeling a little embarrassed. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to,” She didn’t mean to dirty his clothes, much less fall into his arms. She just needed a shoulder to lean on for a while. Cameron surely knew what Yanina meant. He was just thankful that he had come over and she was leaning against him. He handed a tissue to her. She took it, gently wiping the corners of her eyes.
Carl watched them and was satisfied. “Yanina, don’t make your grandpa worry. Just enjoy your life.
“And you, Cameron, if you dare to upset Yanina, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
Cameron nodded, laughing. He thought, I’ll never upset her, but she could give me a hard time.
He promised, “Grandpa, I’ll never do that.”
Yanina’s phone rang. It was from Yetta. She sniffed before answering the call. “Hello, Yetta.”
Noticing something was off in Yanina’s voice, Yetta immediately raised her tone. “Yani, are you crying? Did that jerk Cameron pick on you again?”
Even though Yanina didn’t have the speaker on, everyone could clearly hear Yetta’s voice in this small space.
Yetta, unaware of this, kept on talking. Just ignore him. He’s a stupid jerk.
Yanina was a bit awkward. It was okay Cameron overheard it, but Carl was also there. Calling Cameron a jerk right in front of his grandpa…
Worried that Yetta might say something ruder, she quickly interrupted her. “I’ve just caught a cold because of waking up early
“Oh, then take good care of yourself Yetta didn’t notice that she was lying and believed everything she told her.
She continued, “By the way, the case about the fake reporters went to trial today.
“You have no idea how amazing Mr. Smith is! When you get back, you must treat him and Zak to a big dinner.

“It’s all thanks to them that the case got resolved so quickly.”
Even though Yanina was a bit far from Cameron, he still heard everything clearly.
Barry was his family’s lawyer who handled Carl’s will.
When Yanina mentioned she wanted to file a lawsuit, he immediately thought of Barry. He was glad to know that Barry helped her win the case.
He wondered if there was a spot for him at the big feast Yetta was talking about.
But he didn’t care about the dinner, nor who would host it. What mattered to him was spending time with Yanina.
“We should treat Mr. Smith to a meal. You arrange it, Yanina told Yetta.
“Guess how many years they got,” Yetta asked.
Yanina thought for a moment. Three years?”
you!
“Have law? How did you know that?” Yetta was amazed. “It’s three years.
Tve researched relevant information. It’s rare for a person in a case like this to get such a long sentence. Even a few months of detention is considered a long time. That’s why Mr. Smith is so incredible!
“The fake reporters instantly panicked. They started insisting they were at the request of others, trying to withdraw their
statements,
