Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 560

Chapter 560

Julia’s eyes flashed when she looked him in the eyes. “Let’s talk about this another time,” she said softly.

Julia could finally let down the weight she had been carrying now that Royden Group was saved.

“Ivan, let me take you out for a meal to express my thanks.”

Things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly if it weren’t for Ivan’s help. She also wanted an excuse not to go home as she knew Edgar and Jean would have a lot to talk about tonight.

“Sure. What do you want to eat?” He asked happily. He was fine as long as Julia stayed and did not avoid him.

“Let’s go to a bar. I wonder if that alley bar is still open,” Julia said as she stared into the distance.

Ivan immediately knew the place she was talking about. He nodded his head and said, “It is. I was there a few days ago.”

Julia’s eyes soften. “I can’t believe you remember after all these years.”

“I will never forget the things you like.”

Ivan buckled his seatbelt and drove away.

Ivan did not know Julia had another motive when she asked him for dinner. She arrived home late at night, reeking of alcohol. She thought no one was home as Jean should be at Royden Residence. She did not expect the chandelier in the living room to light up the moment she stepped into the house.

Jean was sitting on a couch. She shot Julia a fierce look and said, “Aunt Julia, tell me you didn’t stay out so late just to avoid me.”

Julia’s heart jumped, and she hastily shook her head. “Of course not, Jean. Why would I avoid you? I just ran into a few old friends, so we chatted till now.”

Julia pretended as though nothing was out of the blue. She faked a yawn and walked toward her room, but Jean’s gaze followed her. “Aunt Julia, how did you and Uncle Bolt meet?”

What was bound to come came.

Julia cleared her throat and turned back to look at Jean. “It’s been too long. I can’t remember.”

Even at this point, Julia was adamant about not telling the truth.

Jean sighed tiredly, “Should I jolt your memory? You met him sixteen years ago and left this country because of him.”

The color on Julia’s face slowly faded, and unhappiness started to show.

“Why do you ask if you know about it?”

Jean rubbed her temple resignedly. “Auntie, you don’t have to go do that extent for me.”

Jean didn’t understand why someone as free-spirited as her aunt, who advised her to let go and think more about herself and not let things hold her down, would make such a big sacrifice to save Royden Group and Eyer Group. No matter what happened, Julia had been overseas for so many years and even married. Yet, she returned single and did not contact any of her old friends. It was apparent she did not plan to stay but made an exception for Edgar and Jean.

Julia raised her head and looked Jean in her eyes. She waved her hands casually and said, “Alright, alright. You’re looking at me like I did something amazing. I just asked, and he agreed. It’s that simple.”

Jean did not want to pressure her.

“Aunt Julia, how about you have a cup of tea to sober up?” Edgar asked as he came out of the kitchen. He was waiting for them to finish their conversation.

Julia’s eyes widened into saucers when she heard how he addressed her. “What did you call me?”
