The convenient Bride novel Chapter 409

The reason why Sachin didn't tell him the truth probably was that he didn't want him to worry. But he couldn't await his doom.

He stared at Julie, who was sleeping soundly, and made a decision.

He reached out and gently stroked her cheek, saying in a low voice, "Juliet, I will definitely exonerate Mr. Elton."

As he spoke, his eyes shone with determination.

This time, he didn't want to hide behind Sachin.

....

Juliet woke up with a severe headache. She opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling.

She frowned. Wasn't this Payton's room?

She sat up immediately and felt even more uncomfortable. And the headache almost caused her to shed tears.

She groaned, then raised her hand and rubbed her forehead to relieve the pain.

After she felt that the pain had subsided, she got up and slowly walked out of the room.

The room was quiet, as if no one was around.

Juliet came to the door of the guest room. She raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, but she suddenly gave up. She directly opened the door and walked in.

The thick curtains blocked the light outside. The room was dim, but even so, she could clearly see that there was no one on the bed.

She frowned. Where was him?

She walked out of the guest room, then she endured the headache and looked around for Payton in the house.

Living room, empty.

Balcony, empty.

Kitchen, empty.

Bathroom, empty.

She couldn’t find him anywhere and thought that he might have gone out to buy breakfast just like last time.

So, she went to the living room and sat down on the sofa, rubbing her painful head while waiting for him to come back.

However, half an hour later, Payton did not come back.

Only then did she realize that something was wrong. She ran into the room, took her phone, and dialed Payton's number directly.

Just when she thought no one was going to answer it and was about to hang up, the call had been put through.

"Juliet."

Payton's hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. She felt sad somehow, and her eyes became tearful. She shouted discontentedly, "Where are you? Why aren't you at home?"

He was silent for a long time and said, "I come back to the Lu’s."

Juliet was stunned and asked, "Why do you suddenly go there?"

"I have something to do."

His answer was simple, but it indicated that he didn't want to tell her the exact reason.

But she didn't ask any further. She simply asked, "When will you be back then?"

"I'll be back this afternoon at the earliest, but I can't guarantee this. It depends."

....

The car stopped in the parking lot in front of the Lu Family's villa. Payton opened the door and got off the car. He looked up at the old villa with mixed feelings.

Every time he came back here, he felt as if this villa was unfamiliar to him.

The villa had both happy and unhappy memories of his childhood, but unhappiness outweighed happiness.

After his mother moved out, he and his brother also moved out, because they felt that this was no longer the familiar home they remembered.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. Not only was this not the home he remembered, even the owner of this villa, his father, had long become stranger to him.
