Gregory's funeral lasted for five days, and Cassidy stayed by Zeke's side the whole time. During those days, Zeke didn't go back to his villa, he stayed at Cassidy's apartment instead.
On the day of the funeral, Cassidy decided to bring Claire. After all, Gregory was her grandfather. She had talked to Zeke about it first. At first, Zeke didn't think it was a good idea, worried Claire might feel uncomfortable. But Cassidy reassured him that Claire was smart and could adapt well.
The funeral was small and private, only family, close friends, and a few trusted office staff attended. There was no media, no paparazzi, just the people who truly cared.
Cassidy being by Zeke's side was nothing unusual, everyone was used to seeing that. But Claire standing with them was a different story. A few guests exchanged curious glances, quietly wondering who the little girl was, especially after noticing the warm, almost protective way Zeke looked at her during their conversation.
