Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 330

Chapter 330: Will she be needing help...

Richard’s response left Julian stumped. His heart lurched, and the sharp sting of disappointment gnawed at his chest.

He dared not imagine that even after today, after coming all this way, he might not be able to see her.

Let alone tell her the truth: that they shared a past, that they had a connection and are bound by blood or that she was the reason he had returned to Country Y.

He wouldn’t even get the chance to tell her that their father still waited earnestly, hoping each day for her return.

He was truly disappointed. He hadn’t expected this to be the case but then there is nothing to do.

Taking a deep breath, Julian rolled his shoulders back, forcing a smile to his lips. "Do you know the sort of emergency? Will she be needing any help?" he asked, his voice calm despite the flicker of worry in his eyes.

Richard shook his head. "It’s a private matter. I don’t know the details. But I’ll find out now that the launch has finally ended," he said, his tone neutral but laced with curiosity.

Julian gave a small nod. "Please do. And if possible, kindly reschedule my meeting with her regarding the partnership."

Richard studied him for a beat longer, his gaze narrowed at him. From the outset, he’d sensed this Anderson had come with purpose. His intent seemed to extend beyond the scope of business.

Yet despite his instincts honed from years of navigating complex people, he couldn’t detect any malice. No ulterior motives, just... something deeply personal.

In fact, Julian seemed like a man who had found a long-lost treasure, something precious that he once thought was gone forever. And now that he had a glimpse of it again, he was determined and vowed never to lose it again.

Richard folded his arms, his gaze probing. "Aside from the partnership, is there any other business she has with the Anderson Group?" Richard asked, his suspicion written all over his face.

"Not explicitly," Julian replied, the faintest smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. "But we’re hopeful. In the nearest future, I believe there will be a lot."

Richard arched a brow "In the future?" He murmured to himself but remained silent.

After a long pause, he finally said, "She had actually been worried about not receiving you by herself. That’s why she asked me to step in."

Julian sighed. It seemed it wasn’t in vain. As long as she noticed him and had shown a little courtesy that proved he was recognized, the effort wasn’t entirely useless.

Still, he couldn’t help but wonder: What happened that pulled her away from the launch?

The question lingered in his mind even as they wrapped up their conversation.

After a few more pleasantries, the men parted ways as Julian with a thoughtful smile made his way back to the hotel. As for Richard, he already made a mental note already to schedule another meeting within the week.

~Davis home~

The golden wash of the setting sun bathed the compound as the large gate opened slowly, welcoming them back. The cars glided in, their windshields catching the last glow of the light, as it reflected on the glass.

Doors swung open one after the other as each of them alighted their own car. From theirs, Jessica stepped out of her vehicle, Davis right beside her, his hand gently clasping hers in quiet support.

As they approached the entrance, Jessica suddenly paused mid-step. Turning around, she faced the small group as each one of them halted in their tracks, silently watching her with curiosity and concern.

She inhaled deeply.

Though her mother’s time with her had been brief and short, one lesson of hers had etched itself into her soul "Always show gratitude to the hands that lifted your burdens."

At that time she will pat the seat beside her and she beckons her to sit then comes the question "Jessy, how many persons helped you today?"

She will make mention of them. Her mother will ask her "Did you thank them?"

And if she hesitates in giving her answer, her nagging will follow

"At every point in time, show your gratefulness to the little hand stretched toward you. Say thank you because without them, you would be lonely, bearing your burden alone."
