At that time, Julia became discouraged and depressed when she realized what Charlie had done, while Lawrence blamed himself for being unable to protect Julia.

Lawrence suggested to Julia that they leave Jadeborough behind and start a new life overseas before he left the country. Julia, however, turned him down.

Julia sighed. “These are memories from a long time ago. Why are we mentioning it again?”

The past was in the past, and nothing could be done about it.

A disappointment flashed in Lawrence’s eyes. “Yes. We should value the present and the people we

love.”

His words inadvertently revealed the thoughts that were going through his mind. Julia looked into the distance, her eyes darkening. But whether the woman had taken Lawrence’s words to heart remained a

mystery.

Just then, a ringing phone interrupted their thoughts, Lawrence picked up his phone, and it was a call from his assistant asking him to return to sign his documents.

“I’m not free. Let’s talk about this later,” Lawrence replied.

“Wait, Mr. Phelps. You must come here quickly. We need this document immediately…” The assistant was so distraught he wanted to cry. He wouldn’t have called Lawrence if it wasn’t something important.

Lawrence was about to hang up the phone when Julia snatched it from him. Her voice was soft as she spoke into the receiver. “Do not worry about it. Mr. Phelps will be heading back now.”

“All right. Thank you.”

After that, Julia dropped Lawrence’s phone into his pocket and advised softly, “You should go back

now.”

Dissatisfaction appeared on Lawrence’s face. “They will try to annoy and anger you again if I’m gone!”

At least Julia has me on her side if I’m here, and I can help her annoy Charlie too!

Julia smiled. “I’ve been through many things these few years, okay? Let’s meet again. But for now, your

work comes first.”

Lawrence, aware of Julia’s persistence and determination to do things her way, sighed and promised to meet with her the next time before he left.

Meanwhile, Christina linked arms with Nathaniel as they headed toward the backyard. They discovered housekeepers carefully picking chamomile in a large empty field.

Christina asked curiously, “Does Mrs. Hadley like to drink chamomile tea?”

Nathaniel tried to recall the information. “I’ve seen her pick it but never seen her consume it.”

Christina walked over and observed the housekeepers fill the chamomile into a special clear glass jar with the logo of an old trademark, “Hearty,” printed on the front and a packet of desiccant on the bottom to ensure freshness.

She pulled out her phone to do a background search on the brand. There she discovered their website with detailed information but no address or online store, which Christina found bizarre.

Since there was still time before dinner began, the two returned to the living room after their walk in the garden.

Linda and Charlie sat on the couch in the middle, drinking tea and chatting happily. If one had no idea of the situation, one would think Linda was the real Mrs. Hadley.
