Chapter 207. The Dalloz Clan

“How are you going to avoid talking to Steffan now? Everyone will be at her wake, and funeral.” Jade said, looking at Racheal.

Racheal looked at her blankly.

Then she picked her phone up from the carpet it had fallen on.

Racheal

Three days. I need three days of quiet. Please. Don’t approach me.

09:00

She sent it to Steffan, her eyes ignoring all the texts he had sent.

“I think that is settled.” She said out loud, and scrolled towards her saved contact.

She hesitated but dialled anyway.

“Delbert.”

Her voice broke as she mentioned his name.

“Racheal, come home. Maman would have wanted you here.”

His voice was subdued, and he sounded even calmer than usual.

“The wake is this evening. If you prefer to come then.”

“I will come now.”

“Ok. My parents will be here by afternoon too.”
