Chapter 223 The bleak mansion
Julian returned to the Grahams’ mansion in a displeased mood.
He just got home and hadn’t entered the house yet.
From a distance, he saw a figure in front of the big French window.
After walking over, he recognised it was his mother.
Linda sat alone in the room, staring out the window without moving.
The lonely figure, coupled with the quiet atmosphere around her, made the whole person’s eyes quite dull.
Julian even saw a lot of fatigue from it.
It seemed she aged several years in an instant.
Julian’s expression altered slightly.
“Mother, what are you up to?”
He entered the room and casually took off his suit. The servant took the suit jacket from him and placed it on
a clothes rack on one side.
“Sir, you just came back from outside. I made ginger tea. Have a sip to take the cold off.”
When Lily saw Julian coming back from outside, she quickly brought a cup of ginger tea forward.
“No, thanks.”
Julian pushed away the cup of ginger tea.
He walked straight to Linda.
“It’s getting late, why are you staying here alone and not going to bed?”
Linda glanced up at her son without saying a word.
His mother ignoring him didn’t upset him.
He looked up in the direction of Linda’s staring and saw nothing.
“The weather is not fine today and there is no moon up there. What are you looking at?”
“If you want to appreciate the moon, the north of Los Angeles is a good place to go, which is very suitable for watching the moon. I can take you there when I have time.”
Linda remained silent, even pretending not to see her son.
Julian became a bit annoyed now.
After coming out of the clinic, his mood was not very good due
to Ryan’s sudden appearance.
Now he returned to the Grahams’ mansion and his mother didn’t show b
a good face……
Lily followed the Graham family for more than ten years and even watched Julian grow up from a young age. Seeing that the man’s face was a bit off, she quickly stepped forward.
“Sir, don’t be bothered.”
“Mrs. Graham is often alone at home, with no one to talk to and feeling dispirited. That’s why she’s not very bright to you. Don’t take it to heart.”
“And the old master’s recent condition gives her… “Lily couldn’t continue.
Julian frowned and looked up at Linda’s back.
Under the shadow of the pitch-black window, it looked lonely.
His face softened slightly.
The man looked around at the house again. Up and down, except for occasional servants walking around,
there was no one else.
Although the lights were bright, they were not so lively.
The huge mansion was lifeless.
He pursed his lips.
“Before, there was your grandfather here accompanying me, an old bone. The two of us were considered
companions together.”
“Now, even your grandfather is in the hospital. Can he wake up? It’s still unknown. What do you think I can
da?”
Linda suddenly spoke up.
This sentence carried some pain.
Julian didn’t respond.
“In the past, if Natalie was at home, it would have been joy and laughter.”
“Whatever I did, Natalie was always by my side. Whatever I needed, whatever I want to eat, Natalie could
always make me happy.”
Linda looked out of the window and sighed, “Now, such a good girl was forced away by you. How could this
family still be lively?”
The man’s expression was originally calm, but upon hearing Natalie’s name.
He felt as if his anger could no longer be suppressed and couldn’t help but let out a roar.
“Don’t mention this woman to me.”
Linda was startled by the sudden high-pitched voice.
Even the fruit tray in Lily’s hand almost fell out.
“What are you mean?”Linda turned around.
“Do you want me not to mention Natalie to you? Without Natalie’s help, can we survive until now?”
Linda only felt that her son was incurable.
How could he just not remember Natalie’s kindness to the Graham family?
“Who gave us the authorization letter? Did it fall from Heaven?”
“To be a human, one must understand how to show gratitude and repay others.”
As she said, Linda became more excited, and even couldn’t help patting the table.
The atmosphere instantly changed from stillness to tension.
It was like going from one extreme to another.
The mother and son faced each other off, but Lily dared not persuade them after she put down the fruit tray.
She couldn’t do anything but wait nervously.
“If you are lonely, you can let Ni… “Julian blurted out.
But before he could finish speaking, he restrained his words.
He remembered the story of Niki lying to himself, as well as numerous incidents associated with her……
No need to bring her up.
The man took a deep breath and then throw a sentence, “I’m going back to work.”
He picked up the suit jacket from the hanger and put it back on while walking out.
Just before he took a few steps, he bumped into a rushing bodyguard.
The bodyguard saw him and quickly lowered his head to say hello, “Hello, young master.” He then walked into
the room.
He was wearing a very anxious look.
“Julian, come back, Linda called out to him from behind.
Julian turned around and said, “No, there’s something else going on in the company. You can go to bed first.”
The attitude was very firm.
Although his tone was gentle, the perfunctory tone of the man was easy to hear.
She couldn’t even have a friend talk with her son; they were just arguing. Linda was irritated and was out of
breath.
“Madam, someone outside wants to come in!” The bodyguard pushed the door in, breaking the atmosphere.
“Who’s it?” Linda frowned.
Get Bo
Who would come to visit the house at so late night?
“I’m tired. Let the person go back. “Linda didn’t even think about it.
Julian made her angry enough today and didn’t want to see anyone else.
Moreover, she was currently emotional and unable to maintain the perfect image of Mrs. Graham.
“But that person said she is Niki…” The bodyguard stuttered and squeezed out like toothpaste.
“Niki?”
Linda’s brow immediately furrowed.
Why was this woman again? What was she doing here? Didn’t she know no one would like to see her?
Linda didn’t even think about it before she spoke up. She said loudly, ‘No, let her go.
After saying this, she glanced up at her son, wanting to see his reaction.
Niki came here; he wouldn’t refuse to let her in.
But Julian didn’t seem to hear her and continued to walk outside.
Hmm?
Linda was puzzled.
That was strange. Julian was so doting on Niki, how could he let himself push Niki out?
Did they argue?
Linda thought this way and immediately changed her mind. She stopped the bodyguard who was about to
leave and said, “Come back.”
The bodyguard didn’t know, so he strode back and said, “Madam, is there anything else I can do for you?”
Linda looked cold and said, “Let Niki come in.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Julian, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up, “Don’t let her in.
Let her go back.”
He didn’t want to see her.
“Let her in.” Linda ignored her son’s words and continued to give orders.
The two of them had a quarrel, which was exactly what Linda wanted.
Just in time to take advantage of the chaos and break up this pair of “mandarin ducks”, let Natalie come back to take care of their family.
“Don’t let her in.”
The bodyguard stood in place.
He looked left and right, not knowing which one he should listen to.
Linda noticed the difficulty of the bodyguard and snorted coldly, “It’s okay. I’ll personally invite her in.”
As she spoke, she walked outside.
“Madam, put on your clothes before you go!” Lily ran after her.
Mrs. Graham was weak and it was cold outside. If she went out with the coat, she would fall ill.
Julian tilted his head and glanced at Lily. He lowered his head and pinched his cold knuckles as if he had compromised.
“Don’t go.”
