Fled With CEO’s Twin Babies by Sherri Roman Chapter 708

Chapter 708 Someone’s Been Tending the Graves
Speaking of this, Sir Smith suddenly looked at Joe as if he remembered
something. “You don’t need to continue arranging for someone to tend to your
parents’ graves every day… I…”
“Tend graves?” Joe frowned at the words. “I haven’t arranged for anyone.”
Sir Smith was puzzled. “But today…”
Sir Smith had the habit of visiting Joe’s parents’ graves when he had free time.
Today, when he went, he found traces of offerings on the graves. He originally
thought Joe arranged it and even believed that Joe was becoming more
attentive because he was getting married.
Enter title…

However, it turned out not to be Joe’s doing.
Joe also furrowed his brow. He informed Sir Smith about what he had witnessed
during his last visit to the graves with Charlotte. This left Sir Smith even more
puzzled.
The Smith Family didn’t have many relatives, and very few would voluntarily go
to pay respects at Joe’s parents’ graves. Who could have left the offerings
behind?
Regardless of the identity of the person responsible, they followed the customs
of making offerings without any inappropriate behavior. Joe and Sir Smith
decided to have someone observe the area nearby but didn’t intend to
investigate further.
Listening to their discussion, Charlotte furrowed her brows slightly, feeling like
she had seen a similar scene before.
“What’s wrong?” Joe noticed her distraction and asked with concern.
Charlotte shook her head.
Not long after, the surveillance team made a discovery.
They caught a middle-aged man dressed plainly and brought him before Joe.
Before Joe could say anything, the man kneeled down with a thud, saying, “I… I
genuinely have no ulterior motives. Mr. Ralph saved my life, and I just wanted to
repay the favor.”
Joe opened a file on his desk containing information about the man’s life.
The man was Ralph’s college cla*smate.
Over a decade ago, the man had been sentenced to prison for white-collar
crime, and it was Ralph who had taken care of his wife and children, even
financially supporting his child through college.
After his release from prison, the man had learned that Ralph had tragically
pa*sed away, and he felt deeply saddened. In his grief, he had regularly visited
Joe’s parents’ graves.
His identity had been verified, and his story checked out. Joe nodded, “You don’t
have to be scared. We were just curious about who had been tending to my
parents’ graves, and we had no other intentions.”
The man quickly nodded and left, which was the matter’s end.
A couple of weeks later, Charlotte had just finished a meeting when she saw Joe
waiting in her office.
“Why are you here?”
Charlotte looked at Joe with surprise. He had been on business trips recently;
this was the first time he had come to pick her up after a long time.
Joe gave her a faint smile. “I was wondering if you have some time to go on a
business trip with me, Miss Clinton.”
“A business trip?” Charlotte was momentarily puzzled. There hadn’t been any
collaboration projects between the Smith Group and the Horizon Group recently.
Joe nodded with seriousness. “There’s a project I’d like you to inspect with me.
The time is a bit tight, and I’ve already brought the luggage.”
Charlotte didn’t expect him to be in such a hurry, so she somewhat
absentmindedly went along with it and boarded the plane.
As the plane soared through the layers of clouds, Charlotte pa*sed by the
orange-red sunset. She gazed at the clouds tinted with shades of pink and
orange, her face lit up with amazement.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Joe walked up behind her and gently embraced her. “Indeed, it’s very beautiful.”
While he praised the scenery, his gaze remained fixated on Charlotte’s delicate
profile.
