Chapter 1393 Ariella’s Tomb
Leo could not control himself anymore and he immediately burst into tears. His hands buried in his messy hair, and he kept whimpering and sobbing, making his whole body trembling.
Even tough man like him could not bear this.
At this time, the door opened and came in Alyssa, Ivy Oda, and a few people. They threw themselves on the edge of the bed and cried heartbreakingly, ” Ariella… Ariella…”
…
On the same day, Ariella was cremated in Toyo’s crematorium.
Before Ariella’s death, she told Alyssa not to notify anyone of the Spencer family except Leo. Leo thought it was for the bank card.
However, Alyssa told him that Ariella had withdrew all her equity and all her business were handed over to her family.
The situation was very complicated, and Alyssa was not quite understand since Ariella only told her some general information.
Ariella was cremated and Leo bought the best urn for her.
But Leo was in a dilemma to find a place to bury her. He couldn’t bury her in Toyo, since she should be buried in her hometown.
If he buried her in Pompeii, he would have to inform the Spencer
family.
But the Spencer family would certainly complain him for not informing them earlier.
Leo had no idea how to explain this.
Alyssa sighed and said, “Mr. Cohen, she told me to bury her in Pompeii’s Peach Blossom Island
Leo was stunned, “Peach Blossom Island?”
Alyssa said quietly, “Yes. Peach Blossom Island.”
Leo knew that Peach Blossom Island was a very beautiful village.
He pondered for a while and said, “Okay, I will go back tomorrow and send Ariella to Peach Blossom Island.”
The next day was clear and breezy.
Leo put the urn in the travel package, got on the plane and flew back to Pompeii.
Arriving in Pompeii, Leo didn’t want to go back home. After all, he carried Ariella’s urn with him. So, he took a taxi to Peach Blossom Island.
After half a day’s driving, Leo finally arrived in the Peach Blossom Island.
It was like spring all the year round. Birds sang around, and peach blossomed making the air immersed with scents.
Leo saw an old house on the island, which was surrounded by walls, and the gate was opened.
Leo, carrying the travel bag with the urn inside, stood at the door and stared. After all, he could not come in without invitation.
At this time, an old man walked out and put down the firewood on his shoulder.
Leo immediately asked, “Brother, whose house is this?”
The old man took a moment to catch his breath and said, “This is my old house. I don’t live here anymore since I had moved to the village and live in a new house.”
Leo was overjoyed and asked with a smile, “Brother, is this house for sale?”
The old man was stunned, “I can sell it at a price around 10, 000 dollars.”
Leo laughed, “Good. 10, 000 dollars is too little. I can give you five thousand more.”
Saying that, Leo took out fifteen thousand dollars from his leather bag and handed it to the old man.
The old man took the money and smiled, “Then thank you so much. I’ll give you the property license right away.”
Leo smiled and said, “Okay.”
The old man immediately took the money and hurried home with the firewood on his back.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Leo pushed the gate and walked inside. He pushed the interior door and walked inside.
It was a hall in which there was an altar with burners on it.
Leo immediately took the urn out and placed it on the table.
There were living rooms on both sides, four rooms in total.
There were beds, tables, and chairs in the room.
In the back, there was the kitchen that was fully furnished.
It seemed that when the old man left everything here when he moved to the new house.
After a while, the old man came with a quilt, “Young man, I guess you are going to stay here tonight, so I brought a quilt for you.”
Leo smiled, “That’s great, thank you so much!”
Saying that, he took the quilt and then spread it on the bed.
The old man handed Leo the real estate certificate and asked in confusion, ” I saw an urn on the table in your living room. Whose urn is it?”
Leo sighed and said, “It’s my ex-wife. Alas, before she died, she said that she wanted to be buried in this place.”
After a pause, Leo asked, “Sir, do you know any Taoist priest here?”
The old man said, “Yes. I’ll find one for you. Wait a moment.”
The old man left then.
Leo bought this house mainly because that it would be convenient for him to stay here when he sweep the tomb on Chinese Memorial Day.
After a while, the old man came back with a Taoist priest. Leo talked to him for a while.
The Taoist priest immediately selected a date and he planned to find a good place in the mountain tomorrow.
The next day, Leo and he went there together. But he kept shaking his head along the way.
He said, ” Mr. Cohen, I just looked around and there is no good place.
But the yard where you live is a good place that sitting north and facing south. Moreover, there is a road in front of the pond in your front yard. ”
Hearing that, Leo was surprised, “That’s great! Why don’t you say so just now?”
He replied with a smile, “I was afraid that you would object that. I thought that you would be unhappy.”
Leo laughed, “How could that be! I bought this house as a gift for my ex-wife.”
Then he lit a cigarette and inhaled quietly, “That’s great! Let’s go pick a spot in the yard then.”
So, the two walked down the hill toward their yard.
The Taoist priest used the Chinese traditional compass to select a location and laughed, “This is the place. I’ll mark it with chalks. You can hire someone to dig a square hole with one meter by one meter. ”
Leo said in a deep voice, “Okay. I’ll dig it myself.”
The Taoist priest laughed, “That’d be better, Mr. Cohen. Do you want to make a tombstone with your ex-wife?”
Leo said in a deep voice, “Of course I do. I was just about to ask about it.”
“Carve the name of your child. What is the child’s name?”
Leo was stunned and said in a piteous voice, “We don’t have children.”
The Taoist priest was stunned and asked, “Then we have to carve your name.”
Leo pondered for a moment and said, “Okay! Carve my name. Since I can’t be with her when she’s alive. I should be with her after her death.”
Saying that, Leo’s eyes turned red again.
The Taoist priest sensed something special, but he did not ask.
“I have wreaths, paper money, paper houses, ghost money and everything.”
Leo laughed, “I want all of them. You can bring your store here. ”
The Taoist priest thought, ” How lucky I am! What a rich man! I’m going to make a fortune. ”
This dirty thought was hidden deep in heart, and he said, “I’ll just follow the routine as usual. Nothing more and nothing less.”
