Lily was a bit at a loss and didn't understand why Julian didn't want to come into the
apartment..
His girlfriend was sleeping now, he was supposed to come in and take a look or call Niki up
himself.
That was what a
boyfriend should do.
But Lily dared not take the initiative to ask him. Her duty was to do whatever Mr. Graham said
"Please wait there for a second, sir, I will wake Miss. Linch now."
Then she hurried to walk towards Niki's bedroom.
Just then, Julian suddenly said, "wait a minute."
Lily turned around.
"Does Niki usually wake up at this time?" Julian said as he glanced at his watch.
The pointer was pointing twelve.
"Well... It's..." Lily stuttered.
Niki usually got up at this time if there was nothing urgent. Did Miss. Linch boast to Mr.
Graham that she got up early every day?
"Why are you keeping silence?" Julian stared at her, his eyes were like a deep and secluded pool of water.
"Eh..." Lily didn't dare to look up, "Miss. Linch was too tired yesterday, so she is still
sleeping."
"She usually gets up very early," Lily said, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.
She tried to conceal her discomfort in lying.
But she didn't know that every small action and every nuance of expression was under
Julian's observation; he could see through her at a glance.
But Julian didn't ask more, "go and wake her up."
"Tell her we'll set off at one o'clock."
"Okay," Lily jogged to Niki's bedroom.
Niki was sleeping soundly but was awakened by a loud knock on the door, she instinctively
frowned.
How dare Lily made such a loud noise!
The knock on the door grew louder and louder, as If It wouldn't stop until she woke up.
Niki got up and flung open the door with great anger, "didn't I say not to wake me up?
What's the matter with you?"
She let out string of curses.
Lily was startled and quickly grabbed Niki's sleeve, gesturing for her to look out the door.
"What are you pulling me for? Don't touch me!" Niki shook Lily's hands away as she was
mad at Lily's interruption.
Lily became even more flustered and shouted out directly, "Mr. Graham is here! Right at the
door!"
'Mr. Graham is there?"
It took Niki half a second to recall what Lily had just said.
Mr. Graham... Julian Graham!
Niki quickly turned her head to look outside the door.
Julian stood at the door, dressed in black. He looked down at his shoes; though there was
no special emotion on his face, Niki felt somehow edgy.
Why Julian came here?
She closed the door and returned to her bedroom without hesitation.
Damn it... She had just woken up and didn't wear makeup or wash up... Julian must had
seen her face!
Did he hear all her harsh tone towards Lily just now?!
Her persona as a kind and elegant lady was completely destroyed by herself! Niki grabbed
her hair in despair.
"Miss. Linch, Mr. Graham said he wants you to go with him to New York and you must pack
your bags before one o'clock!" Lily shouted outside, patting the bedroom door.
One o'clock? Niki frowned.
She needed at least an hour to put on makeup, how could she find enough time to pack her
things?
She intended to ask Julian to give her more time, but when thinking of his stinky face, she
gave up.
One hour later, the clock just struck one.
Niki hurriedly went downstairs and walked up to Julian, she just had time to wear a light
makeup.
Julian leaned half against the car, holding a cigarette in his hand. He looked into the
distance, Niki didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing Niki coming to the car, he silently pinched his cigarette and raised his eyebrows,
"Let's go then."
No more words.
The alienated aura between them made Nild fell like they were just colleagues on a
business trip.
Was Julian mad at her?
She lowered her head and looked at her phone: it was 1:01. She was just a minute late, he
shouldn't be angry about it,
right?
Or did her plain face scare him?
Well, that was too much...
Niki was confident in her face without makeup. Although she looked prettier when wearing
makeup, her plain face
wasn't so ugly.
"Aren't you leaving?" Julian looked at Niki who was sunk in her thought.
Niki could fell a hint of impatience in his tone.
"Let's go now." Niki nodded. Julian's indifferent voice broke her desire to launch a charm
offensive.
"Julian, I..." sitting in the car, Niki tried to explain her morning performance.
But Julian didn't even give her a glance, but threw her a paper bag and said, "have some
breakfast first."
"You must haven't act anything since you had just woken up."
Looking down at the paper bag in her arms, she pouted her lips in distress.
She knew why Julian threw her a bag of breakfast, it meant
'Shut your mouth and eat it, don't bother me.'
Niki felt even more depressed.
In the Spears residence, New York.
"You don't want me to teach Lara a lesson for you?" Tory said with a serious face.
"I can handle it myself, uncle."
Natalie said as she lowered her head to scoop a spoonful of congee, slowly putting it into
her mouth with elegant
posture.
"You're so lenient, how are you gonna deal with Lara?"
Natalie's composure drove Tory nuts.
Natalie didn't know what kind of person Klara was!
"Lara is a notoriously spoiled princess in New York! She is big into stirring up trouble all day
long and makes the whole city a mess!"
"How can you handle such a person?"
Get Bonus
Natalie seemed to hear nothing. She scooped another spoonful of congee and slowly put it
into her mouth. "The congee is tasty. Would you like to try it, uncle?"
"You..."Tory almost forgot what he wanted to say.
"Don't digress from the topic! Let's get down to business!"
Tory saw through her trick, Natalie had no choice but to put down her spoon, saying, "don't
you worry, uncle. I will gain my justice."
"Really?" Tory was half convinced.
Natalie had a kind heart; he was afraid that she would cut Lara a little slack.
"Yeah. I'm certain." Natalie nodded with a determined expression.
She would never offer to offend others. But if someone took the initiative to provoke her,
then she wouldn't choose to
chicken out.
Suddenly the figure of Niki appeared in her mind.
"Uncle, I want to inquire you about one person," said she sternly.
Tory sat up straight and picked up his ears, "okay."
"Do you know a woman named Niki Linch?"
"Niki Linch..." Tory repeated the name which was quite familiar to him.
"She once said she belongs to our Spears Family." Natalie felt it was necessary to verify
Niki's identity.
"What?" Tory raised his tone in surprise. He tried to search for this character in his mind.
As the second leader of the Spears Family, he knew everyone well in his family, but this name didn't ring a bell.
"Don't you know her?" Natalie looked at Tory, waiting for his answer.
"I seem to have heard of this name, but she is not one of our family."
"You heard of this name?" Natalie nodded thoughtfully. Since uncle had heard of Niki's
name, then Niki didn't lie
about it.
"Wait a second."
"Last time I went to the Graham Private Hospital, was the girl in Mr. Graham's ward called
Niki Linch?"
Natalie raised her eyebrows with great interest.
"Because her name also begins with 'N', so I was deeply impressed and remembered her
name."
"That girl has a fair skin, looking quite easy-going," Tory squinted his eyes and tried to recall
the scene that day.
Tory's words reminded Natalie of what had happened in the hospital that day, "you have a
good memory, uncle. That girl is indeed Niki Linch."
Tory grinned proudly, "It seems I'm not old yet. I indeed have a good memory."
Natalie smiled and nodded.
"Did Niki say she belongs to the Spears Family?" Tory straightened his face and asked.
"Yes."
"Well, that's so strange. There is no one named Niki in our family."
So Niki lied??
How could Niki spend all day deceiving others under the name of the Spears Family?
What if she tarnishes the reputation of the Spears Family?
"Is it possible that Niki is a distant relation?" The number of people in the Spears Family was
not very large, but after
counting the distant relations, the number had significantly increased.
"Um... it's possible." Tory nodded, "but there are too many distant relatives. I can't
remember them all."
Natalie nodded thoughtfully.
"But why do you want to inquire about this girl, Nana?"
"Well... it's that she has something to do with Lara."
She had planned to go to the Spears Family's ancestral hall to look into Nild's identity.
"She knows Lara... Did she also participate in the exchange meeting?" Tory knew his niece
well, he could tell what she was thinking at a glance.
He keenly smelled something unusual among Natalie's words.
"Well..." Natalie hesitated for a moment before finally losing out under Tory's sharp eyes,
"she indeed participated in the meeting. But I am still investigating it. I'm wondering if she is
the mastermind."
Tory locked his eyes with Natalie, her gaze was calm and composed as if nothing could
leave a mark in them.
Tory knew that Nana could be able to handle it.
He nodded reassuringly.
"If you need any help, just let me know!" Tory patted Natalie on the shoulder.
Julian and Niki took a plane for nearly a night and finally arrived in New York at dawn.
Niki walked off the plane with bleary eyes, followed closely by two bodyguards, holding her
luggage.
She casually looked up at the sky.
In the distance were the rosy clouds, and a golden ray of sunshine slowly appeared in the
hazy sky.
Niki turned to look at Julian and said, "look! The sky is so beautiful!"
Julian followed her fingers and saw the brilliant morning light. He pursed his lips and nodded
in silence.
"Shall we take a break here first?"
Such a beautiful scenery, such a full romantic atmosphere, she could take advantage of it to
get on Julian's good side.
Unexpectedly, Julian frowned and said, "Let's go."
All he wanted now was to find the Spears Family and ask the divine doctor to treat his
grandpa.
There was not much time left for him since grandpa was desperately ill.
He must hurry up.
Niki rubbed her numb legs and silently followed behind him.
Wasn't Julian tired? She was run down by a whole night's flight to New York! Why didn't
Julian care for her at all!
Nild couldn't help but think of her past with him.
Streams of cars were belting along the road, the sun shone on the sea and the waves
danced and sparkled. At the highest building of the city, she and Julian nestle together to
enjoy the sunset,
How sweet they were at that time.
Cet Bonus
When she felt tired, she could enjoy Julian's meticulous care; When she was unhappy, he
would comfort her and make her laugh.
But now... Niki couldn't help but shake her head.
She finally understood now.
Love was tangible.
Love was reflected in every detail of life.
Niki followed Julian, silently muttering in her heart. Unexpectedly, he stopped and she
bumped her head into him.
She covered her head and let out a gasp.
Julian turned around. Niki looked up at his broad shoulders and handsome face.
Did Julian hear her voice and couldn't bear to let her bustle around?
"Julian..." a glimmer of hope flashed in her heart.
"You lead the way," Julian said expressionlessly.
As his words fell, a sapphire blue sports car stopped in front of them, the sound of the
wheels rubbing against the ground resounded.
The driver got off the car and bowed to Julian, "sir."
Julian nodded casually to the driver, then turned his head to Niki.
"Okay..." Niki's tone was heavy with upset, she thought that Julian noticed her fatigue.
"What's the matter, Niki?" Julian raised his eyebrows and asked, seemingly unable to
understand what Niki was thinking.
She suppressed her emotion and shook her head hard, saying, "no, I'm fine."
The car drove from dawn to noon, from the city center to the wilderness, and the further
forward, the fewer people they could see.
"Are you sure the routine is right?" Julian looked at the scenery outside the window, his
expression gradually tense.
There was no one around.
Niki scrutinized the surrounding scenery, feeling a bit unsure. "I guess it's right..."
Actually, she only came here once or twice when she was a child. She didn't know either
whether the routine based on her previous impression was right.
Now with fewer and fewer people at sight, Niki could only pretend to be calm.
Get Bonus
Julian glanced at Niki, her uneasy state ignited his suspect.
He was still emotionless, his slender fingers curled together, and blue veins stood out on the
back of his hands.
The oppressive silence was like a big palm grasping Niki's heart tightly, making her unable
to breathe.
After driving for about half an hour, a huge building came into their sights.
The building was extremely grand, and from top to bottom, the first eye-catching thing was
the yellow glazed tile roof. The top was spread out in all directions, overlapping layers after
layers, appearing exceptionally majestic in the midday sun.
"Here we are!"
Niki was over the moon: she had a good memory!
This building was just the same as she remembered!
Julian looked up; his eyes gradually gloomy.
Noble as he was, he had never seen such a magnificent building... It was more like a scenic
spot than a residence.
The Spears Family truly deserved its reputation.
The driver parked the car at the main entrance of the building.
Just as the two of them were preparing to get off the car, Niki saw a familiar figure.
She squinted her eyes to see who it was.
The woman standing not far from the gate of the building looked like Natalie?!
She didn't make it wrong; it must be Natalie! But how could she be here?
Julian realized that there was something wrong with Niki. He closed the car door and looked
at Natalie, "What's the matter?"
Niki quickly shifted her gaze away from the person behind her, "It's nothing."
She didn't want Julian to see Natalie.
Not at all.
"I saw a dog there, so I took a few more glances."
"It looks quite pitiful. Shall we go and give it something to eat?"
In Niki's eyes, Natalie was like a wild dog. She was born, but she was uneducated. She
managed to survive under the
mercy of others.
The Graham family was kind since they gave her something to eat.
Unexpectedly, Natalie was so shameless that she refused to leave.
"A dog? "Julian repeated in a low voice.
It was a quiet and remote place. How could there be a dog? It couldn't survive here at all.
But Julian didn't think too much. He just wanted to see the magical doctor of the Spears
family soon. He didn't care
about
So he casually whispered, "It's just a dog, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Niki smiled.
Julian was right. It was just a dog. It
"Then Julian... let's go," Niki smiled and naturally held Julian's arm.
Feeling the warm feeling on his shoulder, Julian looked down without speaking.
The mansion was too magnificent. The place they parked the car was far away from the
gate of the Spears' mansion.
The further Niki moved forward, the closer she was toward Natalie, and more disgust
appeared in her heart,
She was really tired today since she stayed up late to catch the plane. Also, Julian didn't pity
her at all.
She was even in a worse mood when she saw Natalie here. The tiredness in her heart
turned to hatred.
She deliberately walked on the right side of Jullan. Whenever Jullan wanted to look up to
the right, she would immediately raise her hand to block his gaze.
Actually, Niki didn't know why she did this in her heart.
Was it because of jealousy or fear?
Was she jealous that Natalie got Julian's love, which was really rare? Was she afraid that
the love she got would be
robbed by Natalie?
Niki had no idea. And she refused to admit it.
She stubbornly told herself in her heart that as long as Julian did not admit it personally,
Julian's love wasn't taken
away by Natalie.
Natalie was just a substitute.
She, Niki, was always the woman in Julian's heart. The substitute would never truly get
Julian's love.
Natalie wanted to hook up with men? Then Niki would definitely stop her.
Niki would stop Natalie to the end as long as she was alive.
Nila didn't think Natalie deserved to get Julian's love since Natalie was only a substitute.
Nik's eyes turned darker. The dark side of her heart became bigger and bigger. Finally, the
hatred grew to be like a big
tree,
She would rather destroy whatever she couldn't get than let others get it.
Julian walked to Niki's left. He didn't know what Nild was thinking, but she could feel that
she was holding the corner
of his clothes more and more tightly
The suit he wore was handmade by a famous foreign designer. It was quite expensive.
The designer was specially invited over by Oliver, so it was special to Julian.
II Niki continued to hold the suit like this, his coat would be ruined soon.
Julian turned his head to look at Niki and wanted to speak up to remind her.
But before he totally turned his head, Niki immediately blocked his way in panic. She
appeared that she wanted to stick
to his body. It seemed that she wanted to cover something.
Julian's vision was also completely blocked.
Julian was a little confused by Niki's move. "What's wrong with you? Why are you in a
hurry?"
"Ah. No." Niki stuttered a bit.
As if to ease her panic, she quickly pretended to be surprised and pointed at Julian's
clothes. She blurted out, "Hey, Julian... you have a leaf on your clothes. I will help you
remove the leaves."
As she reached out, she took the opportunity to move over, totally blocking Julian's gaze.
She absolutely doesn't want Natalie to have any chance.
Get Bonus
Julian lowered his head in the direction pointed by Niki and looked down. It was just a small
leaf, so small that it could
be ignored.
In contrast, there were a lot of wrinkles on her clothes. The wrinkles were like mountains.
Julian frowned subconsciously.
The first thing he thought of was that the suit should be thrown away since it was wrinkled
like this.
Niki also noticed the wrinkles on Julian's clothes. A hint of embarrassment flashed on her
face.
She knew how special this suit was to Julian.
She also knew why Julian chose this set of clothes today.
Niki was frantic in her heart. Why didn't she notice that?
She was all focused on Natalie, so she was unaware that she made Julian's clothes to be
like this.
The atmosphere in the room froze a little.
Niki forced out a smile and said, "Julian, I will send your clothes to the dry cleaning shop
today, alright?"
"No need."
Julian withdrew his gaze and said the two words coldly.
Niki had to swallow the words she was about to say next.
She dared not hold onto Julian anymore. She silently put her hands down, trying to stay low
key.
But since she tried to stay low-key, she couldn't block Natalie any longer. If she wanted to
block Natalie, she had to
stick to Julian. She couldn't achieve both.
Niki was really in a dilemma now.
Just as Niki was at a loss, Natalie suddenly moved. With her phone in her hand, she was
making calls while walking toward the main entrance of the Spears' mansion.
Natalle was getting closer. Niki just witnessed Natalie approaching.
Now, Niki couldn't block Natalie even if she wanted to.
Julian slightly raised his eyes. Then he saw someone familiar.
He stared at the figure and briefly froze for half a second.
Time seemed to freeze.
Get Bonus
Natalie walked slowly forward while holding her phone until she stopped at the front gate of
the Spears' mansion.
She didn't notice Julian and Niki not far away. She just lowered her head and spoke softly.
The smile on her face couldn't be hidden. She seemed to be really happy.
Obviously, the caller brought her a lot of happiness.
The one who called Natalie was Ryan. Ryan sounded quite excited. He was like a dog that
parted from its master for a long time. It was really happy to see its master.
Natalie couldn't help but be infected. A smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
With a smile on her face, she suddenly felt someone staring at her and instinctively turned
her head.
As soon as she turned my head, she met Julian's dark eyes.
When they looked at each other, Natalie was surprised, and Julian had much more complex
emotions in his
eyes.
There were too many complex emotions that Natalie couldn't understand his meaning at all.
They were both stunned.
The gentle smile on Natalie's face froze.
She only had one thought in her mind at the moment.
'Is the man in front of me really Julian?'
'How could he be at the Spears' mansion? And he happened to see her!"
The moment Julian and Natalie looked at each other, everything around them seemed to
stop. They could only see
each other in each other's eyes.
Natalie thought quickly. She appeared to be calm, but actually, she wasn't.
She had countless questions in her heart. For example, how did Julian find this place? Why
did Julian come here? Did
he discover her true identity? Or did he have some other ideas?
There were countless questions in Natalie's mind.
Her grandfather liked quiet places. He loved peaceful places and a quiet life.
Ancestors of the Spears family all thought so. This was why they built the Spears' mansion
in such a quiet and remote
place.
Of course, there was another reason. This place was close to Dragon Valley. There were
countless rare herbs in Dragon Valley. They could go to pick up rare herbs there at any time.
This place was really remote. Only members of the Spears family knew about this place.
How did Julian find out about this place?
It really surprised her.
"Is this Natalie?" A gentle female voice suddenly appeared.
The strange atmosphere was broken by her voice.
"It's really Natalie! Why is she here?" Niki sounded surprised and happy.
Although she had a smile on the surface, she was actually about to go crazy as she
watched Natalie and Julian gaze at
each other in front of her.
She was afraid that if she remained silent, Julian would walk to Natalie.
Natalie followed the sound and saw Niki's familiar face.
In fact, she was completely immersed in the shock of suddenly seeing Julian just now. For a
moment, she didn't even
ser Niki at all.
Now she saw Niki, her eyes were filled with playfulness.
Nild also followed here?
If it weren't for the sound made by Niki, Natalie would definitely ignore Niki.
Niki really came at the right time.
Natalie was trying to get chances to investigate Niki. And now, Nild sent herself here. What
a great opportunity!
Natalie laughed in her heart.
Cut Banus
Niki naturally noticed Natalie's gaze. She didn't know what Natalie was thinking. She
immediately tensed up, as if she
was about to tight.
The moment Natalie looked over, Niki almost immediately lifted her hand and held Julian's
arm.
She stuck to Julian closely to declare her sovereignty over him. She was showing off to
Natalie.
She looked proud, as it saying that she was the best match for Julian.
But the next second, Julian turrowed his brows and pushed Niki away. He took a step and
walked straight toward
Natalie
"Hey, Julian, where are you going? "Niki panicked.
She quickly trotted to keep up.
"Why are you here?" Julian stood still in front of Natalie to question her.
Natalie raised her eyebrows and asked with an expressionless face, "Shouldn't I ask you
this question?
"Why are you here?"
Julian frowned. Natalie's words made him a little unpleasant.
He knew in his heart that the reason why Natalie came here was very obvious.
This place was really remote. If not for Niki's guide, he wouldn't know about this place at all.
How could Natalie possibly find this place by herself?
It shouldn't be impossible that she could know about the Spears' mansion, but she did.
She must have deliberately followed them here.
Apart from this possibility, Julian couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"You must have come here to see me." Julian raised his eyebrows lightly and spoke in a low
voice.
This sentence is a complete affirmation, not a question.
Julian clearly had an answer in his heart, but he still chose to ask this question. Because he
wanted to hear Natalie say the answer herself.
He wanted to hear Natalle personally admit that she came for him.
Upon hearing Julian's confident words, Niki had her expression changed. Finally, she
managed to remain calm and put on a surprised expression.
She gently covered her mouth and spoke in a sharp tone, "What? Natalle has been
following us?"
"How could this happen?"
Gut Bonut
"Natalie, if you want to come, just tell Julian. He will definitely bring you over. Why do you
have to secretly follow us?"
She seemed to remind Natalie kindly. But actually, she was ridiculing Natalie.
"But the Spears' mansion was really far away from the airport. This place is really remote.
How did you come here?"
"You drove here alone?"
"It must take a long time, right? We flew on the plane for a night to get to New York."
"In order to meet Julian, you really spent a lot of effort."
Natalie quietly watched Julian and Niki ridicule her together. She only nodded slightly and
smiled coldly. Then as Julian
glanced at her, the smile became bigger.
"Why should I follow you?"
There was nothing wrong with her. Why should she follow him?
She would try her best to avoid him, yet he framed her for following him?
"You know the best what you are thinking about."
As Julian spoke, he looked at Natalie's wrist with a somewhat meaningful expression.
Natalie's clothes fell from her forearm with her unintentional movement. Then the string of
beads on her left wrist
appeared.
The string of beads was made of crystal clear white jade. It reflected a faint shimmer in the
sunlight, looking very
eye-catching.
Julian had such a string of beads too.
The one in the Graham's house was made of black sandalwood. It emitted a faint fragrance.
One was white and the other was white. It was obvious that the two were matched.
Was there any better evidence than the beads?
The answer was no.
Natalie must have seen his black beads in the Graham's house, so she bought the matched
white ones.
Julian felt that she definitely still loved him, but he refused to admit it stubbornly because of
her self-esteem.
Natalie followed Julian's gaze and also saw the white string of beads on her own wrist.
She took this string of beads from her grandfather's bunch of wooden boxes. She chose this
one because it matched
the elegant dress she was wearing today.
Natalie was a little confused.
Get Bonus
She didn't understand what was wrong with her beads. Why did Julian keep staring at
them?
"You..........." Natalie thought carefully about what to say next. When she was about to say
something, she was interrupted
by Niki
She shook Julian's arms and appeared to be cute. "Julian, didn't you come to look for the
doctor? Let's hurry up and
get into the Spears' house."
"This is the most important thing"
Every time Julian talked to Natalie, she felt crazy.
So she couldn't help but speak up and forcibly snatched Julian's attention from Natalie.
"Looking for someone?" Natalie keenly caught these words.
"Yes, Julian and I came to the Spears' mansion to look for someone." Niki raised her chin.
and said proudly.
She deliberately emphasized the words "Julian and I". She was afraid that Natalie.
couldn't hear her.
Upon hearing Niki's answer, Natalie frowned in suspicion.
Julian came to find someone?
Who did he want to see? He even came to the Spears' mansion himself?
Was this person so important? Julian flew in the plane for one night just to see this
person?
Natalie didn't like Julian, but apart from that, she had to admit that he was serious about. his
work. Once he was immersed in his work, he would forget about eating and drinking for
days.
Julian spent a lot of effort in his company. He seldom really rested.
When Natalie still lived in the Graham's place, he often got off work until midnight.
And now, Julian left his work behind and came here to New York?
No matter what he needed to do this time, it would waste much of his time.
Why was he willing to leave the company for so long? Wasn't he afraid that something
would happen to his company?
Natalie began to think. She was curious about who they wanted to see.
Get Bonus
Niki couldn't let go of any slight expressions on Natalie's face. When seeing the doubt on
Natalie's face, she was more excited.
Niki exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Natalie, don't you know about that?"
"I thought Julian had already told you."
"He went to find you in the hospital early in the morning. He seems to care about you
very much. I thought he would tell you everything."
It wasn't like this actually.
Sure enough, Julian didn't really care about Natalie. He only visited her out of sudden
interest.
"Find me in the hospital?" Natalie froze.
She looked at Julian and said, "Did you go to the hospital to find me?"
Julian froze when hearing this.
The awkwardness and unwillingness he felt that day came again.
He didn't go to find her in the hospital like a fool, but she transferred secretly. Only he was
fooled.
He had never been fooled by a woman since childhood.
His self-esteem didn't allow him to admit this.
"No."
"How could I go to find you?" Julian sneered with a hint of contempt on his face, as if he
thought that Natalie's words were ridiculous. Finally, he added.
Get Boorus
"I advise you to stop thinking nonsense."
Natalie was stunned by Julian's words.
He said she was thinking nonsense?
Natalie was angry by his words. She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. She
took a deep breath to force her anger back.
Niki said that he went to find her in the hospital, so she asked.
Why did he say that she was thinking nonsense?
So, in Julian's opinion, whatever she did was to attract his attention?
"Julian, you didn't go to find Natalie? I remembered that
you did."
"Did you forget? That morning, the day we were at the hotel..." When Niki mentioned the
hotel, she looked shy.
Seeing Niki twist shyly when mentioning the hotel, Natalie hurriedly looked away.
Her shy appearance was clearly telling others what happened to her and Julian.
"When we were in the hotel that morning, I didn't see you on the bed when I woke up.
Didn't you go visit Natalie in the hospital?"
Niki intentionally acted shyly while looking at Natalie with slanted eyes. Her eyes were
filled with smug.
She deliberately emphasized the word "hotel" to make Natalie misunderstand that she
had slept with Julian.
Natalie would definitely be angry to death.
But Natalie was expressionless when she heard this. Niki didn't see the expression she
wanted to see on Natalie's face.
Get Bonus
Natalie even had some mockery on her face. She seemed to look down on Niki.
It shouldn't be like this, right?
She expressed her meaning so clearly, but Natalie was still unmoved?
Niki raised her eyebrows. Okay, Natalie could really manage her temper well.
"You remember wrong," Julian said coldly with a gloomy face.
"No, I didn't. Julian, you definitely..."
Niki didn't seem to notice Julian's expression. She continued.
Before she could finish her words, she heard an angry roar.
"I said no. Are you questioning me?"
Niki had no idea how she offended Julian. She just found that his gaze turned sharp and
cold. The way he looked at her made her feel that he wanted to kill her.
She was scared and stopped talking.
Fine. Why was he so fierce?
After Julian said this, he walked toward the gate with a cold face, not talking to Niki
anymore.
Niki quickly followed her.
After she was scolded by Julian, she finally found that something was wrong.
Did he roar at her because he didn't want Natalie to know that he went to the hospital?
The Bonna
Niki blinked. She walked while secretly wondering what had happened between Julian.
and Natalie.
They arrived at the gate of the Spears' mansion.
When they were far away, they couldn't see clearly. When they came closer, they realized
how magnificent the mansion was.
The huge red copper gate appeared. It looked gorgeous and wonderful. Everyone would
be shocked when standing at the gate.
Niki looked at the gate and swallowed silently.
She had long forgotten the exact location of the Spears' mansion, though she had come
here when she was a child. When she finally stood here, she felt a little afraid.
Would the Spears family agree to see her?
Niki was only from a branch of the Spears family. Maybe they would just ignore her.
Thinking of this, Niki wanted to retreat.
"Come knock on the gate." Julian turned around to look at Niki and signaled her.
This was the Spears' place anyway. He had to show respect. It was better to let Niki
knock.
Niki looked up in a panic, "Ah...? Knocking on the gate?"
Julian found that something was wrong with Niki. He said, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing. Nothing." Niki stuttered.
She clenched her trembling hands into fists and slowly knocked on the gate.
Maybe the gate was too heavy, or maybe Niki didn't use much strength because she
hesitated. When she knocked on the gate, she didn't make much sound.
Niki knocked again. There was still no sound,
Julian frowned.
On Bonus
He seemed to have lost patience. He walked past Niki and knocked hard on the gate
with his own hand.
Finally, a sound was made. The giant red copper gate made a muffled sound. The sound
spread in the air.
Julian and Niki both held their breath.
Natalie stood not far away, silently watching them knocking on the gate without
expression.
It had been many years since someone knocked on the gate of the Spears' mansion.
It was a rare thing for someone to knock.
She folded her arms around her chest with a meaningful expression.
This was really a rare thing. But it was hard to say whether her grandfather would let
them in.
The Spears' mansion was not a tourist attraction. Not everyone was allowed to come in.
After the muffled sound, nothing happened. Julian raised his hand and continued to
knock.
Finally, rustling footsteps came from the door.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Niki couldn't help but take deep breaths to calm herself down.
She silently told herself in her heart, "Niki, you can do it. Don't be nervous. Be calm. You are
related to the Spears family anyway!'
Her branch wasn't important in the Spears family, but she was related to the Spears family anyway. She believed that they wouldn't shut her out.
