Chapter 645 We Don’t Believe That
Caroline blushed and thought, “What was I thinking?
“I’m going with my brother. He’s waiting in the car,” Caroline informed.
Evan remained silent but reached for his phone to make a call.
He said, “Follow Caroline’s car. I’m going with them.”
After hanging up, he asked Caroline, “You don’t mind me tagging along, right?”
Caroline looked at him in shock. He was demanding to come along even though he had a car, and he hadn’t sought her approval. Could she still reject him now?
They all got into the car, and Evan was visibly surprised to see the three children.
Caroline explained, “It’s lucky we took the MPV today. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have a place to sit. I brought the children so they could visit my parents.”
She turned to Neil and said, “Neil, he wants to join because he’s Axel’s father, after all.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeil didn’t say much after hearing Caroline’s remark.
Liora clung to Evan while he played with her.
Neil whispered to Caroline, “I didn’t expect him to be so patient with children.”
In frustration, Caroline said, “I don’t know when he started being so gentle with Ty and Lia. He used to call them bastards…”
Neil frowned. “Is it because he found something?”
“I don’t think so. He would have asked me if he found out about it,” Caroline said.
“That makes sense.”
Twenty minutes later, Caroline got out of the car with the children while Evan carried Axel and joined Neil
in getting out of the car.
An elderly man with a hunched back, wearing an old gray coat, was sweeping at the graveyard’s entrance. When he heard the commotion, he turned to look at the newcomers.
Neil greeted him, “Hello, Benjamin. We’re here to visit.”

Neil introduced him, “Caroline, this is Benjamin, the gravekeeper.”
Carol looked at the man named Benjamin.
Liora broke free from her hold and hid behind Caroline before she could see Benjamin, which startled
Caroline a bit.
Benjamin appeared to be around 60 years old, with sallow, deeply wrinkled skin and a permanently
hunched back, even when he stood upright. But the most shocking thing about him was his eyes: one was
normal, while the other only had whites. He exuded a gloomy presence even in the daytime.
Caroline was also startled but didn’t show any dramatic reaction. She held Liora’s hand tightly and smiled
at Benjamin. “I’m sorry for intruding so early in the morning. Benjamin.”
Benjamin stared at Caroline indifferently, and Liora was so scared that she hid behind her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe said, “The child is not allowed to enter.”
Caroline looked at Neil in astonishment. The latter shook his head, showing his confusion about the
situation.
Caroline asked respectfully, “Why is the child not allowed to go. Benjamin?”
Benjamin explained, “Her body is too weak, and she might attract unknown entities. Besides, the sun isn’t
out yet, so it’s not suitable for her to be here.”
Caroline smiled upon hearing Benjamin’s explanation. “We don’t believe that.”
Benjamin looked away and continued to sweep. “As you wish, then.”
Caroline didn’t comment further but walked to the graveyard after nodding to Benjamin. She followed
Neil to the tombstones. Liora let go of Caroline’s hand and ran over to hold Evan’s hand.
She stood on her tiptoes and clutched Evan’s top, softly begging, “Can you carry me? It’s cold out here…
Evan frowned and put Axel down. “Axel, stand here for a while.”
Axel obediently nodded. “Carry Lia, Daddy.”
Evan carried Liora, and she buried herself in his arms, avoiding looking at the tombstones. Neil and
Caroline were too distracted to notice Liora’s condition.
