Chapter 1529
After making up her mind, Queenie called her mother. This time, it was Maggie who picked up.
“Hey, Queenie. I was too harsh with you earlier—”
“Mom, I’m not going home tonight. I’m twenty–four, and I can take account of my own actions. Also, I believe in
Nigel’s character.”
“But—”
“You didn’t bother Leslie and Bonnie when they were together, so now I’m asking you to do the same with me and
Nigel.” Without waiting for her mother to respond, she hung up the phone.
Meanwhile at the Silverstein Residence, Maggie sighed while sitting on her bed. She had been overly protective of
Queenie ever since she was young and thought that she had not grown up enough to let her pursue the life she
wanted. As she thought about that, she decided it was time to let go.
Queenie fell into a daze while standing on the balcony. When she turned around, she saw a tall figure standing by
the door. How long has he been here?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was so flustered and instantly averted her gaze. At the thought of what she had just said on the phone, she felt
her cheeks getting warm. Did he hear what I said?
“Are you done with your calls?” Nigel asked casually.
She thought it would be best if he did not overhear her disregarding her parents‘ disapproval and insisted on living
with him. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
However, she did not know that he had indeed heard everything and was being respectful to her by not expressing
it. He was especially shocked when he heard her last sentence. It had only been ten days since they met and she
actually trusted him so much.
After pondering for a while, he suggested, “How about I bring you somewhere special for dinner tonight?”
“Where?” Queenie began to anticipate dinnertime.
“To a restaurant my family owns by the beach. I can bring you out for a drive to relax.” He decided to find a way to
make her happy.
“Sure!” She nodded.
At that moment, Nigel’s phone rang. He took a look, smiled, and told Queenie, “I need to take
this call.”
After that, he took his phone and entered his room.
“Hey! My little nephew.”
“Uncle Nigel, I don’t have any homework this afternoon and I wanna come over to your house and play games with
you.” The cheer of an excited child sounded from the other end.
However, Nigel immediately refused. “No, you can’t come over. I’m busy lately and I don’t have time to play games
with you.”
“Uncle Nigel, are you at home? I’m coming over.” The kid was not giving up that easily. He rarely had the afternoon
off, so he was dead set on coming over.
“Jared, how about you come over next time? I’ll bring you to some good food, go to the amusement park, and we
can do whatever you want.” Nigel did not want to be overly obvious, so he had to coax the kid to change his mind.
Otherwise, things might get out of hand.
“I don’t want that. I want to head over and play. I’m asking Mr. Caine to send me over now.” The kid had a private
bodyguard, so he could go out whenever and wherever he wanted just by telling his bodyguard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNigel held his head as he tried to think of a solution. He could reject anyone, but the kid was clingy to him. Before
he entered elementary school, he would come by every Saturday and stay the night. If he had not been swarmed
by homework, he would have been coming over every weekend.
“How about this? Do you remember Mr. Gilmore? He has a whole set of games at his house. Why don’t you go
there?”
“I can’t. My dad doesn’t let me visit other people’s houses at will, so I can only head to yours.” Jared was also afraid
of getting scolded by his parents, so he laughed sheepishly before saying, “Uncle Nigel, I’m heading out now! You’ll
see me soon.”
Without getting the chance to dismiss his visit again, he had no choice but to call for help when he saw that his
nephew had already hung up the call. At this point, who else could he call other than Julian?
When Julian picked up Nigel’s call, his voice sounded a little slurred as though he had just woken up from a nap.
“Hello…”
“Julian, are you free from this afternoon till 8.00PM tonight?”
“Yes! I am!”
“Can you come over to my house immediately? I need your help.”
