Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 124

In the end, Willow relented. "I'll see how my schedule looks. If nothing comes up, I'll be there."

"Wonderful, wonderful. I'll be waiting for you."

The moment Genevieve ended the call, she dialed Julian. Her tone instantly shifted back to a stern command, ordering him to keep his Sunday completely clear and to return to the estate. She emphasized twice that he was to come alone—no Vivienne, no Toby.

Sunday morning arrived quickly. Since it was a lunch arrangement, Julian was up early. He carefully selected a tailored charcoal suit, paired it with a matching tie, and even took the time to style his hair with texturizing spray, sweeping it back effortlessly.

Watching him get ready, Vivienne felt a knot of suspicion tighten in her chest. She hadn't heard of any important banquets happening today. Why was he suddenly putting so much effort into his appearance?

"Julian, do you have some free time today?" she asked casually. "My favorite boutique just got their new collection in. The sales rep said there are a lot of pieces I'd love. I was hoping to go take a look. Could you come with me?"

Julian didn't even look up as he adjusted his tie. "I don't know the first thing about fashion. Just take one of your friends."

Vivienne masked her disappointment. "But I only buy these things to look good for you. You don't need to know fashion, you just have to pick what you like on me."

Julian walked over and gave her head a dismissive pat. "Be good. Go with your friends. Take the card I gave you and buy whatever you want."

In the past, this kind of blank check would have made Vivienne ecstatic, but today, she couldn't shake the feeling that he was intentionally trying to get rid of her.

She refused to back down. "You don't have any plans today either, so just come with me."

"I'm going to the estate to have lunch with Grandma."

"Just you and Grandma?" Vivienne pressed.

Julian finally lifted his gaze. He didn't say a word, but his eyes grew cold.
