Love Unspoken

Chapter 1556 The snake slipped off Alexander, and he snagged it mid-air.

Calvin's eyes went wide, not 'cause Alexander was fearless, but 'cause of his speed. Calvin couldn't move that fast. Calvin said, "Man, you're quick. Didn't see that coming." Alexander shot back, "Calvin, if you're this bored, go find something useful to do. Stop with these childish pranks." Then, he just tossed the snake on the ground. It slithered away into the grass.

Calvin grumbled, "If I had something to do, I wouldn't be here messing with snakes." Alexander ignored him and walked out of the yard.

Calvin smirked and headed the other way.

First thing Zeke did when he got back was order folks to dig around the yard to find the snake hole.

But after searching high and low, even flipping flower pots, they still couldn't find the snake hole Calvin mentioned.

When Calvin walked by, he stopped and peeked inside. Zeke was in the middle of the yard, and others were rummaging around. Calvin couldn't help but chuckle.

Zeke suddenly turned to look at him, and he quickly put on a serious face. Zeke demanded, "Perfect timing. Where'd you catch that snake? Show me." Calvin shrugged, "I just picked it up off the road. No clue where the hole is." Zeke frowned. He wasn't scared of snakes, but he sure didn't want one in the yard. If it crawled into bed at night, it'd freak anyone out.

Zeke ordered again, "Search carefully. We need to find that snake hole." Calvin offered, "Zeke, lethelp you out." Zeke gave him a look but didn't say anything, which was as good as a yes.

Calvin swaggered in and pretended to search the yard. Zeke stood there for half an hour. Seeing they hadn't found anything, he told them to search more carefully and then left. Calvin followed Zeke for a bit, and after seeing him walk away, he turned back. "You won't find it like this. Try looking inside the house. The snake hole might be in there." As he spoke, he headed towards the nearest house.

The servants didn't dare to go inside and kept searching the yard. Since Calvin wanted to go in, they didn't stop him, hoping to find the snake hole quickly and finish up. Calvin asked, "What's this room for? Why's it locked?" A middle-aged man stepped up and said, "This is the storage room. Kieran's stuff is kept here." Calvin raised an eyebrow. "Why keep his stuff here? Isn't the Lynch mansion big enough for a proper storage area?" He continued, "Open the door and lettake a look. Storage rooms are prspots for snakes to hide." The middle-aged man hesitated, looking uneasy.

Calvin turned to him and asked, "What's the problem? Kieran's gone. What's there to hide?" After Kieran passed away, most of his things were burned, and the useful items were divided among others. What could be left in the storage room? The man replied, "It's not that we can't look, but none of us have the key. Zeke has it." Calvin asked, "He carries it with him?" The man nodded. "Yeah." Calvin rubbed his chin and looked around. "Go find a piece of wire." The middle-aged man didn't move.

Calvin gave him a nudge with his foot. "Go on, man. If Zeke gets mad, I'll take the heat. I just wanna see if there's anything I can keep as a memento." Hearing that, the middle-aged man went off to find the wire. In the Lynch family, the only person Calvin really cared about was Kieran.

Kieran had taken him in and raised him like his own grandson.

When Kieran passed away, Calvin didn't even get to say goodbye, and naturally, he didn't get any of Kieran's belongings.

After a bit, the middle-aged man cback with the wire.

Calvin skillfully worked the wire into the lock and popped it open after a few tries. He pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Even though it was a storage room, it was super clean, with everything neatly packed in boxes. Calvin casually opened a box. Nothing special, just sstuff Kieran used and books he read.

Calvin flipped through them. A lot of the books were out of print and pretty valuable.

There were Kieran's watches, his phone, and pens he used.

Calvin rummaged through the items. Kieran read a lot, and there were books in all sorts of languages.

As he flipped through, he got impatient and tossed the books back.

Suddenly, a photo slipped out from between the pages. Calvin paused and bent down to pick it up.

It was a group photo with four people: three men and one woman.

He recognized the three men. Despite their youth, he could tell they were Kieran Lynch, Loren Mellon (Calvin's grandfather), and another guy he didn't recognize, probably Ulysses Kennedy. He'd seen this photo at Loren's place when he was a kid. He also recognized the woman as his grandmother, who had passed away early, around her thirties or forties.

It was from Loren's stories that Calvin knew she was his grandmother. Loren had lots of photos with her. Calvin suddenly remembered a bunch of childhood memories. Loren always told them stories of the past. Calvin snapped back to reality and slipped the photo into his pocket. He then went through all the books in the box.

He found quite a few things, including a yellowed letter from Ulysses to Kieran.

The letter read: "Kieran, I know you'll get this letter. I don't expect a reply. Over the past two years, my health has been going downhill. Sitting in the yard every day, I often think of our glory days.

I want to talk to someone, but I don't know who. Do you think old people always reminisce and regret the past? Why is old age so miserable?

I've regretted it more than once. I was too ambitious back then, wanting everything, always eager to conquer the world. Now, looking back, how ridiculous I was. Kieran, I don't have much tleft. Do you think Loren will forgivein hell? Probably not. He'll likely tearapart.

You old fool, why didn't you stopback then? You knew what I was going to do. You had your own selfish reasons, didn't you? You were afraid Loren would drag us down, but you you? didn't want to be the bad guy, so you pretended not to know. But cutting ties withchanged nothing.

You can't change the fact that you were an accomplice. Forget it, there's no point in saying this. I've kept these words to myself all my life. If I don't F.

say them now, I might die with regrets. Kieran, if I die, you won't have it easy either. How dare you cut ties withand ignoreall these years? Old friend, see you in hell.

-Ulysses."
