The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 234

Imagining Julian in a wheelchair, she wondered how she could get the dragonblood fruit from him and retreat safely.

However, as she spun around, the scene in front of her stunned her.

The person approaching wasn‘t a sickly, obese middle–aged man as she had expected, but a graceful woman in her late twenties.

The woman was dressed in a fiery red body–fitting gown, showing off her curvy yet slim figure. A white fox fur scarf was draped over her shoulders like a shawl. She looked pure and innocent. Those eyes brightened with joy and surprise the moment she looked up and saw Natalie.

“You‘re Dr. Nichols?” Liliana Hoffman smiled gracefully. “Do you know how long I have been looking for you? It has been challenging to find you.”

Natalie was taken aback by her words.

Wasn‘t it Julian the one who spent a billion to find me? Wasn‘t it him who hired a top hacker to attack Xavian? How can it be this beautiful lady? Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“You...”

“Hi, I‘m Liliana Hoffman. Just calling me Liliana will do.”

Liliana reached for Natalie‘s hand, but Natalie almost flung the former‘s hand away the moment her hand touched hers.

Liliana‘s hand was as cold as ice.

Liliana apologized, “Dr. Nichols, I‘m sorry. Have I chilled you? I already have Milton prepare some warm soup for you. Please have some first before we discuss my husband‘s condition.”

Husband? So she‘s Julian‘s wife?

Natalie wasn‘t in a rush to see Julian but wanted to familiarize herself with the Todd residence and everyone there.

From the moment she stepped into the manor, she couldn‘t help feeling that something was off about it.

Natalie was led into a luxurious dining room. The table was piled with a variety of delicious dishes.

Liliana filled Natalie‘s plate with some crab meat. Then she said with a smile, “Dr. Nichols, I know you have no intention of revealing your identity, but I have been searching for you since a few months back. I had no choice but to use this method, since you were unwilling to show yourself. But it‘s good that you approached me, or else I‘d have to go to Dellmoor myself to invite you personally.”
