An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1273

Over in a meeting room at Zephyr Lodge.

Cornelius said to Natasha apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ms. Harmon, you're one step behind. Sir Rhys has left Millsburg."

"Left? Where did he leave for? When did he leave?" Natasha was full of questions.

"Sir Rhys left for Oakvale this morning. He said he had some things to deal with there but never gave us any details. Oh, right!"

Cornelius recalled something, took out a letter, and handed it to Natasha with both hands.

"Ms. Harmon, here's a letter Sir Rhys left for you. Before he left, he ordered me to hand you this letter if you ever come. He said you'll understand once you read this."

"A letter?" Natasha took the envelope and opened it. It had a lengthy letter inside.

The general content of the letter was Dustin telling Natasha that he had something important he needed to handle and would be there for some time before he returned. He also reminded Natasha to take good care of herself.

He mentioned that he didn't want Natasha to worry about him, so he chose to leave her a letter.

"He's one to run away quickly." Natasha was relieved after reading the letter.

She wanted to ask Dustin to go to Oakvale together. But she hadn't even mentioned it to him, and he had already left for Oakvale before her.

She was surprised but glad they would end up at the same place.

"I guess we'll meet in Oakvale, then." Natasha smiled and kept the letter before leaving Zephyr Lodge.

Since she knew where Dustin was headed, she had nothing to worry about anymore. They would eventually meet in Oakvale.

…

On the southern platform of the train station in Oakvale, Dustin made his way out from the crowd with his luggage.

Compared to ten years ago, Oakvale had undoubtedly flourished much more. It was now a bustling city full of traffic and people, and the entire city was just teeming with activity.
