Russell, Cecilia Tamsias veke suddenly called out from Nahind
Pulian stopped, turned around, and asked, “Tamsin what are you doing here?
“L… I just wanted to check in and see how things were going. Youre not out at me, are you? Tamxin mumbled, looking down
No, aliam replied. Test try not to skip class agam
He glanced back, Nut Chelia was already gone.
Sorry, Mr. Rusow‘ you and Tamsin started.
Tve got something to do, so I won’t be seeing you of Julian cut her off, quickened his pace, and left without even a glance at the disappointed Tamsin.
It was the first time Julian had treated her so coldly, and she couldn’t hold back her tears. But this time, Julian wasn’t there to wipe them away. Her eyes turned red from crying, filled
with resentment.
Why did it have to end up like this? She only made one mistake; why couldn’t hulian forgive her?
Julian, of course, didn’t get what Tamsin was thinking. He hurried to the parking lot and, sure enough, saw Cecilia leaning against the car window, waiting for him.
“If you were any later, I would’ve left, Cecilia said, glancing at him.
Where to? The mountains? Julian raised an eyebrow. “It’s hard to get a cab here
Aren’t you going to see her off? Cecilia asked.
“My wife’s here, why would I see her off?” Julian got into the car and looked at Cecilia still standing outside, signaling her to get in.
Cecilia shrugged, thinking he was just obsessed with acting.
Meanwhile, at the Coleman Mansion, Kian was lounging on a chair in the courtyard, watching the Russell Group’s promo event live stream, when he heard the sound of glass breaking
from inside the house.
“Fuck! No way!” He was startled, threw his phone on the lounge chair, and rushed inside.
He saw his limited edition Skyview City streamlined crystal glass cup shattered into pieces on the floor, its signature broken into fragments. “Alaric!”
His face turned red with anger. That was his favorite designer cup! He had spent a lot of money and time to get that signed cup.
“Even if you’re jealous, why take it out on my cup! Kian scolded. “If you’ve got the guts, go into the TV and snatch her away. Why break my cup!
“Sorry, I squeezed it too hard,” Alaric said flatly. “I’ll buy you double the next time she releases a new one.”
Kian’s mouth twitched. The designer did have another cup he liked. With Alaric’s promise, Kian wouldn’t have to spend a dime.
“Alright, I forgive you. Whoever you like, go after her. Ill always support you! Kjan said.
Alaric pressed his lips together, staying silent
Kian stared at him for a bit. Alaric’s face clearly showed how pissed he was.
“Yesterday, when Cecilia and Lancelot went to the hotel, you werent this mad, Kian tematked. “By the way, what’s the deal with Julian? Is he faking it or is it real? If he’s acting, it’s a shame he’s not in showbiz
Alaric frowned, his eyes darkening. She wouldn’t show that kind of expression to Lancelot.”
“What?” Kian was puzzled. He hadn’t watched closely. To him, Cecilia’s and Julian’s actions were just a normal couple showing affection publicly, with Julian looking steeply in love and Cecilia gazing affectionately.
Alaric glanced at Kian, his expression cold. Alaric wouldn’t mistake Cecilia’s momentary heart flutter.
Chapter 24 Julian, Get Out–1
Cecilia being close to Lancelot didn’t bother Alaric much. After all, the Elikin family’s status was beneficial for her, and Lancelot posed no threat to him.
Now that it seemed Cecilia still had feelings for Julian, he became Alaric’s biggest obstacle.
However, he smiled and said, “She’ll eventually look at me with that expression too.”
Kian got chills from Alaric’s smile. He needed someone to snap Alaric out of his lovesick stupor!
At the Russell Mansion, Julian watched Cecilia obediently finish her medicine and handed her a piece of candy.
Cecilia pursed her lips, scrutinizing him.
She thought, ‘He wouldn’t show kindness without a reason; there must be a motive!
“What do you want?” she asked.
Julian frowned. ‘What do you mean?”
Seeing that Julian had no intention of talking to her, Cecilia ignored him and took the candy upstairs.
“Grandma will come home tonight,” Julian said, “I’ll pick you up after your class this afternoon.”
