Chapter 1437
"Alright."
Darwin pulled an ice cream cone from the bag, unwrapped it, and handed it to Fiona. "This'll have to do for now. Next time we visit Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom, I'll make sure you get your favorite ice cream."
Fiona smiled and took the cone.
As the sun rose, its golden rays dispersed the fog on the mountain.
Fiona took a deep breath, gazing towards the family cemetery, looking completely at ease.
Darwin sat down next to her, unwrapping another ice cream cone, and they sat shoulder to shoulder.
But his eyes were fixed on the winding path that led up from the foot of the mountain.
After the plane crash that year...
During his illness, Darwin's nightmares always included the scene of a rainy day, with Fiona carrying her grandmother's portrait alone, walking up from the bottom of the mountain, and then kneeling alone in front of the tombstone all day.
Every time, he wanted to run over and be with Fiona.
But no matter how hard he tried, the distance between them grew further and further.
Thankfully.
Fortunately.
Heaven had mercy on him, giving him a chance to make things right.
After finishing their ice cream and resting for a while, Fiona stretched comfortably. "Let's head back. If we wait any longer, it'll get too hot."
"Alright."
Darwin nodded in agreement.
Hand in hand, they walked down the mountain along another path.
When Darwin went to pay for parking, Fiona stood there, glancing instinctively towards the road.
After she decided to separate from Darwin that year, she had come to pay respects to her family with Dagwood. When they were leaving, Darwin had caught them here.
At that time, Fiona never thought she would have a future with Darwin.
All she wanted was to escape.
Strictly speaking, even when she returned to Armie five years later, she never thought there would be anything more with Darwin.
Now, she felt content with everything, but also felt she owed Dagwood a lot.
When Darwin finished paying and turned around, he saw Fiona staring blankly at the road.
He knew that place well.
After all, when Fiona first disappeared from his life, he had searched tirelessly for her, only to find her here, cozying up with her childhood friend.
Darwin remembered how furious he was then, wanting to kill Dagwood.
"Has Dagwood contacted you since then?" Darwin asked softly as he walked over.
Fiona shook her head. "He said he wouldn't look back, and he hasn't."
Darwin lowered his gaze. "I owe him an apology."
Fiona looked at Darwin. "We both do. So in the future, if he or his family ever needs help, we must do everything we can."
"Absolutely!" Darwin nodded immediately.
"Let's go. Before we head back to Bay City, let's take care of this ice cream factory business!" Fiona said, taking Darwin's hand.
