Cultivate Wizard novel Chapter 16

Finneas had an inexplicable feeling as he stared at the number on the slip of paper.

After a moment of hesitation, he took the note and headed out of the private room.

“Finneas, it's about to start, where are you going again?”

Jayson had been closely observing Finneas. Hence, he promptly asked out loud.

If Finneas were to leave, who would he show off to tonight?

However, Finneas ignored him as if he hadn't heard a thing and walked out of the private room!

Darn it!

Jayson clenched his fists.

His fury drove him to desire gathering a group of people to ruthlessly trample Finneas underfoot.

A societal parasite, a mere insignificant creature! What right do you have to be so arrogant? How dare you ignore me time and time again?

“Mr. Yowell, he's just a nobody, there's no need to pay him any mind!” Upon noticing something was amiss, a school leader promptly voiced out.

“Jayson, you and Finneas are from two different worlds... he's not worth your attention.” Sabrina gently persuaded.

“Hehe. You've got it all wrong! I was just worried about not being a good host. Finneas might have been in a bad mood, but I'm someone who values relationships deeply. He's an old classmate of mine, I wouldn't want to embarrass him.”

A smile returned to Jayson's face, yet a trace of coldness flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Finneas had offended him by repeatedly embarrassing him.

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message.

After leaving the private room, Finneas found a secluded corner and pulled out his mobile phone. He dialed the number he had found on the piece of paper.

At this point, the only option was to face it head-on.

He had made up his mind!

If Natalie was truly having a hard time, then he would win her back!!

Loving someone meant accepting all their flaws.

Moreover, it was Finneas himself who had let her down.

The call quickly connected.

“Hello?”

The raspy voice of Natalie came through from the other end of the phone.

The voice didn't sound like it belonged to a woman in her thirties. Instead, it resembled the voice of a woman who had experienced a great deal of hardship in life!

“It's me.” Finneas' voice slightly quivered.

“Natalie, it's me, Finneas! I have returned...”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, followed by an abrupt end to the call.

Undeterred, Finneas tried calling again. However, this time, the other party didn't even pick up.

“Natalie...”

Finneas clenched his fists, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Meanwhile, inside a dimly lit, cramped basement.

Natalie sat on the bed, holding an old mobile phone as tears silently streamed down her face.

If this had been awhile back, she would certainly have given Finneas a piece of her mind, demanding to know where he had been all these years upon receiving his call.

She wanted to ask why he chose to disappear all those years ago?

However, during the day, when she saw Finneas being intimate with two young girls, her heart was utterly broken.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Finneas, but she couldn't find any reason to trust him anymore.

Natalie walked up to the mirror, gazing at her reflection.

Her face was slightly pallid, and she appeared utterly dispirited and melancholic.

Reflecting on the hardships she had endured over the past decade, she couldn't help but feel like a complete fool!

She was undeniably a beauty, wealthy and fair-skinned, widely recognized as the campus belle.

Yet, why did she have to endure so much hardship?

Her life now felt like a complete mess, all for the sake of that so-called, laughable thing called love.

“Mommy... Mommy.”

At that moment, a girl dressed in a pink skirt suddenly woke up from her dream.

The little girl had big eyes and long lashes, her features as delicate as a porcelain doll's. However, her overall demeanor seemed rather stiff and awkward.

“Mommy's here, Mommy's right here.”

Natalie's heart ached as she quickly comforted the girl. After the little girl's emotions gradually calmed down, only then did she take out her phone and make a call.

Once the call connected, a hoarse voice came through.

“Mom, I was wrong, I want to come home tomorrow.”

“Natalie, you've finally come to understand! Don't hold it against your father. He watched you suffer and it pained his heart! If he hadn't frozen your card, you would've never given up!” On the other end of the phone, a woman offered words of comfort.

Subsequently, the woman spoke again. “Natalie, do you still remember the Janssen family?”

“I do!”

“Here's the thing,” she began. “Your brother will be making a trip to Jacaster in a few days. If you're facing any difficulties right now, you could seek help from the Janssen family. Then, you can return home with him when the time comes. Does that sound good?”

Upon hearing those words, Natalie fell silent for a moment.

The Janssen family was a prestigious family in Jacaster.

The fiancé her mother had previously introduced to her was also a member of the Janssen family.
