Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1529

Chapter 1529

After making up her mind, Queenie called her mother. This time, it was Maggie who picked up.

“Hey, Queenie. I was too harsh with you earlier—”

“Mom, I’m not going home tonight. I’m twenty–four, and I can take account of my own actions. Also, I believe in Nigel’s character.”

“But—”

“You didn’t bother Leslie and Bonnie when they were together, so now I’m asking you to do the same with me and Nigel.” Without waiting for her mother to respond, she hung up the phone.

Meanwhile at the Silverstein Residence, Maggie sighed while sitting on her bed. She had been overly protective of Queenie ever since she was young and thought that she had not grown up enough to let her pursue the life she wanted. As she thought about that, she decided it was time to let go.

Queenie fell into a daze while standing on the balcony. When she turned around, she saw a tall figure standing by the door. How long has he been here?

She was so flustered and instantly averted her gaze. At the thought of what she had just said on the phone, she felt her cheeks getting warm. Did he hear what I said?

“Are you done with your calls?” Nigel asked casually.

She thought it would be best if he did not overhear her disregarding her parents‘ disapproval and insisted on living with him. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

However, she did not know that he had indeed heard everything and was being respectful to her by not expressing it. He was especially shocked when he heard her last sentence. It had only been ten days since they met and she actually trusted him so much.

After pondering for a while, he suggested, “How about I bring you somewhere special for dinner tonight?”

“Where?” Queenie began to anticipate dinnertime.

“To a restaurant my family owns by the beach. I can bring you out for a drive to relax.” He decided to find a way to make her happy.

“Sure!” She nodded.

“How about this? Do you remember Mr. Gilmore? He has a whole set of games at his house. Why don’t you go there?”

“I can’t. My dad doesn’t let me visit other people’s houses at will, so I can only head to yours.” Jared was also afraid of getting scolded by his parents, so he laughed sheepishly before saying, “Uncle Nigel, I’m heading out now! You’ll see me soon.”

Without getting the chance to dismiss his visit again, he had no choice but to call for help when he saw that his nephew had already hung up the call. At this point, who else could he call other than Julian?

When Julian picked up Nigel’s call, his voice sounded a little slurred as though he had just woken up from a nap. “Hello…”

“Julian, are you free from this afternoon till 8.00PM tonight?”

“Yes! I am!”

“Can you come ove to my house immediately? I need your help.”
