Chapter 144 You are still confident


During the interval of waiting for Natalie to reply, Julian shook the glass on the table. The color of the wine in


the glass was mixed in a strong red and extremely light yellow, inexplicably with a chill.


After seeing the message from Natalie promising to meet, Julian picked up his glass and drank it all in one


gulp.


“Young master, how did you start drinking this morning? ” Aunt Lily, who was cooking, seeing Julian sitting


alone at the table drinking a muffled wine. She quickly put down the spatula in her hand and walked towards


him.


Julian seemed as if he had not heard of it.


He drank one mouthful after another, and immediately filled his glass as if he had not drunk in a long time.


Aunt Lily looked at him like this and sighed. She didn’t know when the young master who didn’t drink alcohol suddenly started drinking. Sometimes he come back in the middle of the night, he would sit alone in the


living room drinking and drinking until dawn


In those days, Aunt Lily felt very distressed for her young master.


But she really didn’t know what caused Mr. Graham to become like this, after watching him drink


continuously countless times. She couldn’t help but tell the Lady Linda about it.


Unexpectedly, the lady had already known about this and just sighed, “He’s under too much pressure… the


whole family relies on him.”


Aunt Lily was puzzled, but Mr. Graham had been the CEO of the Graham family for many years, and the pressure had been there for a long time. Why did he suddenly start drinking now?

Aunt Lily flicked away the memories in her mind and looked at Julian in front of her, feeling anxious. But after all, Julian is her boss, and she definitely cannot directly stop him from drinking.


“Young master, stop drinking. Drinking this in the morning is not good for your health! “She could only try her best to persuade.


She didn’t know if her persuasion worked, but when Aunt Lily saw Julian’s expression suddenly become serious, her worries finally disappeared.


“Let me cook some ham for you? Or what do you want to eat, let me make it for you?” As long as the young master doesn’t drink, she will make him whatever he wants to eat.


But his next words shattered Aunt Lily’s imagination.


“Aunt Lily, why do I feel like something’s burnt?” Julian said as he looked into the kitchen.


“Ah, my meal!” Aunt Lily patted her head as she came to advise the young master not to drink in the morning, but forgot to turn off the fire! It turned out that it wasn’t her persuasion that worked, but the kitchen food was burnt.


She quickly ran back to the kitchen with a spatula.


Julian finished his last glass of wine, picked up his phone on the table and the suit jacket draped on the back


of the chair, got up and went out, “I’ll go out first.”


After standing up, he strode towards the car parked in the yard, opened the car door, and casually threw his


phone and coat onto the passenger seat.


After some movement, Julian sat in the car, loosened his tie with one hand, and then started the car. A series


of movements rushed away without any delay.


Aunt Lily was left behind shouting, “Young master! You haven’t had breakfast yet.”

Natalie was disturbed by Julian’s sudden text message and suddenly lost her appetite. She looked at the carefully crafted breakfast in front of her and thought for a while before putting it in the refrigerator.


Just as she put the plate back in the refrigerator, the refrigerator door had not closed yet, and there was a doorbell outside.


Natalie instinctively frowned and thought, ‘Did Julian


returned that message.


me so soon?’ It’s less than half an hour since she


When she bought a house at that time, a major factor she considered was that the distance between the house and the Graham family, the further the better, and the Greenlife villa was the most suitable choice.


The Greenlife villa is located in the southernmost part of L.A. and the Graham house is in the northernmost


part of L.A., spanning the entire city.


How could Julian have come to her house so quickly? Did he come by flying over?


But the doorbell outside the door only rang once, and there was no

ound.


The person standing outside is not Julian, but Hugh. He stood straight at the door and saw Natalie open the


door without speaking, just standing in place!


Natalie saw that it was Hugh, and the confusion in her heart had just dissipated. She casually lifted her


eyelids, and as expected, a Maybach parked under the steps


Yesterday he didn’t listen when she was talking, so today he came to pick her up and go to the laboratory as usual.


“Can you leave with finishing listening in the future?” Natalie turned to Hugh and said,” I was about to tell you last night not to pick me up this morning, but you just left and didn’t hear what I say.”


She took a step back and said, “Don’t blame me for running for nothing today.”


Upon hearing Natalie’s words, Hugh’s expression remained unchanged. No anger, no dissatisfaction, no embarrassment on his face.


Almost as soon as her voice finished, Hugh straightened out his back and turned around to leave… The entire


movement was neat and neat.


Natalie looked at Hugh’s back and blinked, with a smile on her lips. This guy didn’t ask if he wanted to pick. her up tomorrow, and just left? Isn’t he afraid of wasting his time again tomorrow?


But before the smile on her lips could be lifted, a shadow fell in front of her, “Miss Spears, Are you so happy


for my coming?”


Natalie looked up and saw a playful face.


She almost immediately took another half step back and said, ‘Mr. Graham, I haven’t seen you for a while, you’re still…” She paused and carefully thought about her wording. “You are still so confident.”


As she spoke, she continued to step back, hoping to be far away from Julian.


Julian didn’t think too much, as if he didn’t understand Natalie’s meaning at all. “Have you had breakfast yet?


I haven’t had breakfast yet this morning.”


He walked into the room as he spoke.


Natalie had just opened the door, and before the door of the villa could be closed, Julian walked in in


naturally, as if it was his house.


By the time she reacted, Julian had already reached the position in the living room.


Natalie furrowed her brows and strode to catch up with the man’s pace, blocking Julian from continuing to


move forward recklessly. “Mr. Graham, it’s not good for you to get into my house without my invitation?”


Julian was blocked in the road.


“Sorry. “Julian apologized.” I just really like the structure and decoration of this house. The overall style is


very similar to the Graham house. So for a moment, I forgot that this is Miss Spears’s home, not the Graham


house.”


Julian’s gaze lingered around the house… The decoration style of this villa is almost identical to the Graham


house.


It seems that though Natalie is talking about getting divorced and leaving the Graham family. In fact, in the end, she’s still inseparable from the Graham family, otherwise how could even the decoration style


of her house is similar to the Graham house?


Natalie didn’t know what Julian was thinking at the moment, so she just said, “Could you please come over here? There’s my bedroom ahead, and it’s not convenient for Mr. Graham to go any further.”


“Okay. “Julian withdrew his gaze and quietly followed Natalie, as they walked one behind the other to the reception room.


Natalie opened the door and stepped into the reception room first. Then he looked up at Julian and said, “Mr. Graham, please sit.”


Julian stood still and didn’t move at all. “Won’t you treat me to breakfast first? I didn’t even have breakfast


before I came here today.”


“No, I have nothing to treat you.” Natalie decisively refused.


Get Bogus

“Really? Without breakfast, I don’t have the energy to discuss with you.” Julian said, inexplicably threatening.


Natalie was very clear in her heart that Julian was completely talking nonsense! During the three years of her at the Graham family, the days when Julian had breakfast seriously were few and far between.


He is deliberately making things difficult for her.
