Chapter 126 The Moon,

“Doesn’t it seem like it’s going to rain?” Jessica took a peek at the sky while asking.

“Don’t worry. There’s an umbrella with me in the car. Alex replied.

He frowned upon their arrival because it started pitter–pattering once they reached the resting place of those from the Saffin family.

Jessica reached for Alex’s umbrella she brought along with her, sheltering themselves from the drizzles, standing in front of the tomb of the Saffin family. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

As time flew by, it began pouring heavily. Consequently, the temperature of the surroundings dropped drastically.

Alex wasn’t bothered by it at all, but Jessica, who was by his side, shuddered due to the chilling breeze.

Although she hadn’t brought it up in front of Alex, she was utterly horrified deep down because she was afraid of supernatural phenomena.

Perhaps it was human nature to be afraid of such things. If Alex weren’t by her side, Jessica would barely be able to pull herself together.

Alex lowered his head and gazed at Jessica’s side profile the moment he detected a fragrance coming from

her.

Actually, Jessica was gazing at Alex, but he had no idea as their surroundings were pitch black.

She looked at the man in his eyes, imagining what would lie ahead in the future.

Alex smiled at her in return, and Jessica’s heart skipped a bit. She turned around as soon as possible. Judging by the woman’s reaction, she was anxious.

“Is it going to rain throughout the night?” In an attempt to divert the man’s attention, Jessica brought another topic up.

“I’m pretty sure the rain will stop soon since it’s merely a drizzle,” Alex assured Jessica. –

“Mm…” Jessica nodded.

“AHHH!” Suddenly, the woman shrieked, throwing herself into Alex’s arms, taken aback by the swaying tree branches.

Alex could feel Jessica shuddering in between his arms. The woman was obviously utterly horrified.

He caressed Jessica’s shoulders, assuring. “Hey, it’s okay. In fact, I’m pretty sure the ghost won’t show up on such a rainy night. It’s too much of a hassle”

Jessica subconsciously wrapped her arms around Alex. She was taken by surprise when he had unintentionally brought up the existence of the ghost again.

Half an hour later, the rain finally stopped. The fact remained that they couldn’t see anything as their surroundings were pitch black.

It was a horrifying environment as they were completely enshrouded by darkness.

Needless to say, Jessica, who was holding on to Alex, trembled in fear. She asked in a quivering voice, “M- Mr. Jefferson, w–when can we remove the unholy item?”

She couldn’t wait to leave the place because she could barely take it anymore. Even though she was in between Alex’s arms, she couldn’t deny the fear and anxiety she felt deep down.

“It’s almost time. Once the moon shows up, we’ll get going immediately.” Alex raised his head, checking the weather. He was certain the moon would show up once the clouds dissipated.

Even if the female ghost or the evil spirits showed up out of nowhere, Alex would get rid of them once and for all before dealing with the unholy item.

“Do you think the moon will show up? I mean, it was just drizzling half an hour ago, right?” Jessica asked.

“I’m sure it will. You know what? You should have faith in your charisma even if you don’t have faith in me.” Alex pulled her leg in return.

Alex’s effort worked like a charm because Jessica soon eased up and returned to her usual self.

She ran her fingers through her hair, touching up her makeup and overall appearance while Alex put away the umbrella.

All of a sudden, a little girl dressed in red showed up out of nowhere. She had a bleeding wound on her forehead. Once Alex put the umbrella away, Jessica caught a glimpse of the little girl.
