Michael had no choice but to start leaving the house again. Not because he needed to go out to get groceries or go eat dinner outside, but because of his family's funeral procession.
He had to set everything up, and he could only do it alone. Pedro was there to assist him, but there was only so much that Pedro could help with.
He was basically alone through the process.
During the day of the funeral, he stood in front of the funeral house, receiving guests with a gloomy expression on his face.
No one expected him to smile or be lively, though. After all, he did lose his entire family in a fire, and they were all there to mourn them.
There were a few shameless people who did not close their mouths and kept talking about how all the properties had been sold and the money was given to Michael.
They shamelessly whispered, wondering if he was pretending to be sad just for show or if he was secretly happy that they had died, leaving everything to him since they had once disowned him.
