When she saw him, she smiled and greeted him with a sweet smile. “Hello, Mr. Julian. It’s been a while.”Her expression was ordinary, as if he was just an ordinary friend she hadn’t seen in a long time. Julian felt as if they had returned to the beginning, when she was just Ryan’s sister, and he was just Ryan’s friend. She would smile sweetly and greet him, without feeling happy or sad, every time she saw him.He was just someone whom she could recognize on the street after having met him a few times. It was as if there had never been a heart-wrenching relationship between them, and they had never loved or hated each other. Julian felt that the various methods that Rowan had used to torment him over the past year and a half were nothing compared to the pain he felt at this moment when she said ‘It’s been a while’, as if they were complete strangers. The most painful thing in the world was when she had already given up, but he was getting deeper and deeper into it and was comple
Nora then asked, “Mrs. Maton, did you miss me so much?” She cleverly transferred these feelings to Mrs. Maton, and even Mrs. Maton, who was a cunning and experienced person, did not know how to answer her. She could only laugh and say, “Yes, I missed you. You won’t be leaving after you come back this time, right?”Mrs. Maton looked very eager, and it was obvious at a glance that she was helping Julian obtain information. Nora smiled and said, “I’ll decide as things go.”In fact, she was just saying that perfunctorily as she had already planned to head to the airport directly to return to the United States after the banquet today. She still had work to do there, and she had to take photos for the fashion promotions for Rowan’s company’s new season. Therefore, she was very busy.Rowan’s company had developed very well in the past year. Rowan had spent all his energy on the management of his small company, and he was also in charge of the designs himself. Nora quickly accumulated
Jane, who was sitting on Jason’s right side, looked at the time before she frowned and said to Wendy, “Why isn’t Miya here yet? The banquet is about to start.”As Silvia’s best friends, they would never be absent on such an important occasion as Silvia’s son’s 100-day banquet. Therefore, Jane, who was in Staten Hill, and Miya, who was in Blackstone, had deliberately rushed back to Detroit. They had agreed to spend every important occasion in their lives together, regardless of whether it was their respective wedding ceremonies, the birth of their children, or when their children got married and had children in the future. Wendy was anxious as well. She was about to call Miya when Jane shouted happily, “You don’t need to call Miya anymore. She’s here!”Jason looked in the direction they were looking and felt as if he was gasping for air. He saw a beautiful and enchanting woman wearing a bright red dress with wavy hair parted in the center walking elegantly in on high heels with a
Miya called Jason ‘young man’ as Wendy did, making it clear that she regarded him as a little boy and a younger brother. As Jane was seated to Jason’s right, Jason would be in between them if Miya and Jane wanted to talk. That would be inconvenient and awkward, so Miya thought of switching places with Jason so that she could chat with Jane as much as she wanted. When Miya smiled at him like this, Jason felt that he was so mesmerized by her charming smile that he was about to faint.She looked exquisite with her makeup on, and her dazzling facial features matched the red dress she was wearing. Faced with her expectant eyes and smile, Jason had no other option but to give up his seat to her.“Thank you,” Miya said as her red lips parted slightly. She then got up and switched places with Jason. When she got up and approached him, the faint fragrance from her body caused Jason’s body to tense up. He finally knew what it was like to desire a woman for the first time in his life.Mi
Nora sat quietly at the main table as she accompanied Harold and was responsible for serving tea to the elders at the table. Every move she made showed her temperament as a remarkable young lady, and she stunned Julian with her beautiful and bright smile.Julian saw Nora lowering her head and fiddling with her cell phone for a long time halfway through the banquet. Not long after, Julian received a call from his friend at the airport.His friend said, “Julian, something’s not right. Isn’t Ryan Pierce’s son’s 100-day banquet going on now? Why did your girlfriend buy a flight ticket to go back to the United States in the afternoon?”“What?!” Julian’s expression instantly turned gloomy. She was fiddling with her cell phone for such a long time because she was booking a flight ticket?!‘This woman is really too heartless! She’s leaving after only coming back for a few days!’Mrs. Maton had come to him earlier saying that Nora had not mentioned when she would be going back to the Unite
When Nora heard Rowan swearing, she could not help but ask him quickly, “What’s wrong?”Nora did not know what was going on in Rowan’s mind and was only wondering whether Rowan was swearing because something had happened. Rowan hesitated to speak and finally said lightly, “Nothing.”He really wanted Nora to cancel her flight, but this would delay the filming of the promotional poster in the United States. These tasks had all been scheduled in advance and could not be changed, so he could only bite the bullet and let Nora take the flight back. Rowan was a little distracted after Julian mentioned the name Evelyn without warning today, and Julian took advantage of this fact.Nora said goodbye to Rowan before going through the security check after arriving at the airport. Rowan wanted to warn her about Julian in advance, but he did not say anything in the end because he was afraid that he would upset her. He only told her to call him when she arrived safely. Nora was not used to lea
He could earn more money if he lost some, but he would not be able to get her back if he really lost her. Therefore, he would handle the temporary work matters that he could and leave those that he could not to Nathan and Benjamin.Speaking of Nathan and Benjamin, Nathan had held a wedding with Yvonne during spring after the New Year, and they had officially become husband and wife. Julian felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw how sweet they were when he attended their wedding. He had obviously fallen in love with Nora first, but Nathan ended up getting married first. Julian naturally knew that he had brought everything upon himself. Regarding his current pursuit of Nora all the way to the United States, he had never thought about trying his best to impress her so that she could reconcile with him quickly; he understood that Rome was not built in a day. His only thought now was to be able to see her and have contact with her, not like when he did not have any news about her at
“This was specially prepared for you. It’s so exquisite. You should enjoy it.” She then smiled at him and said, “Mr. Julian, you might have a bad memory because of your old age, so I would like to kindly remind you that I’m not your girlfriend. I’m your ex-girlfriend, so please don’t make this kind of mistake again in the future.”Old age?Julian felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart when he heard these words. He felt the anger in his heart surging but was being suppressed. He could not vent and could only stare at her. He finally sighed in anger as he looked at her and said, “You have become much more eloquent after just more than a year.”Nora smiled brightly and said, “You’re not that bad yourself, Mr. Julian. You seem to have become even more shameless.”Julian really felt like dying.After the verbal battle just now, Nora discovered something that was more fun and interesting—it was to infuriate Julian. Instead of deliberately pretending to be indifferent toward him,
