Charlie's mother sighed, "It's a pity you and Charlie didn't get together back then. Otherwise, marrying Charlie would have been so wonderful. I really want you to be my daughter-in-law."
Charlie also said, "Lucy, my mother is right. It's a pity we're not meant to be together. But the three days I spent with you on my mom’s birthday were the happiest days I've ever had."
Lucy glanced at me anxiously and said to Charlie, "Don't talk nonsense."
Charlie smiled and glanced at me with disdain. Lucy explained to me, "Honey, Charlie was talking about the three days of my godmother's 80th birthday. There's nothing else to it. Please don't misunderstand."
"I understand." I replied calmly.
Lucy didn't need any explanation. I used to be worried and angry. But now it didn’t matter. Soon, she and I would have nothing to do with each other.
I drove to the cemetery. Lucy was surprised.
"Honey, did you drive to the wrong place?"
"No, this is it."
Lucy's face paled.
I turned and looked at her, my tone expressionless, "Mom has already been buried, on the same day you attended Charlie's mother's 80th birthday."
