Grandpa Kyle laughed, "In my opinion, the company is not the proudest work of the two of you... The little guy sitting between you two is your proudest masterpiece."
It was finally Larry's turn to speak. He quickly said, "Great- grandpa, I am indeed their proudest work."
Grandpa Kyle smiled and asked, "Larry, I hear that your relationship with your Uncle Julien has improved a little recently?"
Larry quietly took a look at Julien and then looked at Grandpa Kyle, speaking in a small voice, "Great-grandpa, it hasn't improved at all. Uncle Julien still keeps a straight face and doesn't like to talk to me."
Grandpa Kyle said with a smile, "Then come play with me. I will pamper you."
Larry nodded enthusiastically and said, "Okay."
Now that he had asked about most of the family members, Grandpa Kyle looked to Julien, who was sitting at the far end of the table. Julien's expression was cold, and he was not paying attention at all to the conversation before him. He started,
'Julien...'
Coincidentally, when Julien's grandfather called out to him, his phone suddenly rang. He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and then stood up immediately saying, "Grandpa, everyone - please go ahead and eat first. I've got to take this call."
His grandfather said, "Kid, why are you in such a hurry?"
Julien replied, "Grandpa, please eat first. There's no need to wait for me."
Kevin hated phones at the dining table. He was just about to give the topic a piece of his mind when Karen grabbed his hand. She said to him, "Kevin, this dish is made specially for you. Have a taste."
The anger that had lit up in Kevin's heart was quickly put out by Karen's gentle words. He looked at her and his expression softened.
Karen smiled, "Give me a compliment if you like it. I'll work harder next time."
Kevin said with a sullen face, "Delicious."
She smiled softly. To be honest, it was not that she had always been the one to bend over backwards for him all these years. In fact, it was the other way round. Kevin would always compromise in the end whenever they had a disagreement.
It was nearly impossible for a man like him to make such a change, but he actually did it.
Julien walked out of the dining room and immediately answered the phone, "What's the matter?"
It was Joel. "Mr. Kyle, the information from Averland that you've asked for has been sent to you," Joel informed.
Julien turned and walked towards the study upstairs.
He always thought that if you liked someone, you should respect them and not pry into their private matters. There were many instances where he wanted to check on Vanessa because he wanted to know what she had been through all these years, but he managed to refrain himself from doing so.
If it was not for Lawrie's existence, he would not have thought to investigate this matter.
But because of Lawrie, he just had to. During the twenty days when he was gone, he had actually gone to Averland to find out about Vanessa's past. However, not much was discovered. When he
heard that Vanessa's family had arrived in Chatterton Town from Averland, he quickly returned to stop them from troubling her.
After waiting for two days, the results were finally here.
Julien opened the mailbox on his browser and looked at the new e-mail. As soon as he clicked on the e- mail, he would be able to open it and read its contents. He would be able to learn about what had happened to Vanessa. But he suddenly felt hesitant at this critical moment. He was afraid that the outcome was not what he wanted.
After battling his hesitation for a moment, Julien ultimately decided to open the email.
Four years ago, when Vanessa was about to graduate, Julien had to return to Chatterton Town to handle some matters. Thus, he was not there with her on the day of the convocation party.
Although he was not physically there with her, he was technically "there" with her the whole time.
In order to prove that they could endure the test of love, they each put a location chip in their respective phones. Whenever they wanted to know each other's location, they would be able to turn on the location system in the phone to know of each other's specific location.
Julien had just finished his work that day when he received a call from Vanessa. On the phone, her gentle voice told him, "I'm going to the convocation party tonight, Julien."
Julien knew that the party would be held later that night, and replied, "Okay."
"I've dolled myself up," Vanessa said. "Aren't you worried that other guys might take an interest in me and snatch me away from you?"
Julien said with a smile, "You're mine. No one would dare snatch you away from me."
Vanessa continued, "Who do you think you are? You're just an employee at Rovio. Why are you so confident that no one would snatch me away from you? Other people may think you're the successor of Rovio if they heard you speak. Let me remind you, you shouldn't think you're all that just because you share the same surname with the Kyle family of Rovio."
Julien kept to an extremely low-profile while he was away at university, and Vanessa had never questioned him about his background. Although they had dated for almost three years, she was still in the dark regarding his true family.
Julien said seriously, "Well, I am the true successor of Rovio."
Vanessa's voice sounded through the phone, "Wouldn't that make me the wife of the future President of Rovio then?"
"If you're willing, you can be that any time," he answered. Just by listening to her tone, Julien could imagine just how cute her facial expression was. Whenever he thought of her adorable expressions, the corners of his lips would always involuntarily rise.
"I don't want that. I'd rather be your wife, than the wife of the future President of Rovio since you caught my eye first." Vanessa continued, sounding a little frustrated, "You're not even here, Julien. So, what's the point of me dressing up so nicely? I only want to dress up for you."
Julien said, "I'll be heading back soon. Dress up for me then."
Vanessa said, "Oh right, when are you coming back? You haven't been around me for so long that I've even started to miss you in my dreams every night."
She was such a straightforward girl. She was not shy at all and would always tell him frankly just how she was feeling. Hence, Julien liked her so much. He had finished his work and was ready toThis is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
fly back, with his fight departing in two hours. However, he wanted to surprise her so he said, "I still have some matters to attend to. As soon as I'm done, I'll come back to you."
"How long are you going to be busy for?" Vanessa sounded extremely disappointed, "What about this, Julien? Once I'm done with the graduation party, I'll buy a ticket to Chatterton Town. I really want to be with you and see you every day."
"Okay," Julien raised his wrist to check the time. He had to rush to the airport now, otherwise, he might miss the flight. He desperately wanted to see the surprised look on Vanessa's face when he suddenly showed up right in front of her. He said, "I've got some work to do now, Vanessa. I'll wait for you to come to Chatterton Town tomorrow to see me."
