“Follow him a few times, which is why I know where they are,” Serenity now understood the location of her parents’ graves. However, she feared that once they left town, these outrageous people might relocate them again. Therefore, she said to Noah, “You must keep this a secret as well. Don’t tell anyone what I asked you.”
She pointed to the building materials on the ground and added, “When I’m not here, you’re responsible for keeping an eye on the piles of sand, gravel, and bricks. If I return and find them missing, I will hold you accountable, and you’ll need to compensate me for them.”
Noah was at a loss for words. He did not want such a burden.
“That’s all. You can go now.”
Noah nodded at Serenity and walked away.
As soon as he left, Old Mrs. Hunt and others surrounded him, eager to know what he and Serenity discussed. Noah candidly shared that Serenity had asked him to watch over the piles of sand, gravel, and bricks. Old Mrs. Hunt was furious and cursed again, though she dared not confront Serenity directly, fearing Zachary.
“Zachary, let’s go buy some flowers in town. We’ll take them to my parents’ graves when we visit later,” Serenity said.
She and Liberty had not been able to visit their parents’ resting place for a long time.
“Alright, but let’s keep this trip under wraps. Since we don’t live here, they’ll likely relocate your parents’ graves as soon as we leave. Given their vindictive nature, I’m sure they’re capable of it.”
Serenity then turned to her sister and the others to share the plan.
After spending some time in the old house, they eventually left and visited Mrs. Deli and the mayor’s houses for a short while before departing in their cars.
Serenity and her entourage were thought to be returning to the city, but they were actually just in town to buy flowers. Along the way, Serenity said to her sister, “Liberty, let’s visit the cemetery to purchase a burial plot for Mom and Dad. We can relocate their graves there. This way, it will be easier for us to pay our respects, and we won’t have to worry about their graves being moved again.” A watchful presence would be kept at the cemetery.
