Chapter 18 First Signs of Affection_1
Yesterday, Ruby Bluen’s escape from her arranged marriage had infuriated Glades Horne, to the point where he even refused to see Julia again. In the end, however, it was his grandmother who allowed Julia to go to the top floor to find him. Is that boy not angry anymore?
"It’s Miss Julia," Uncle Ying confirmed once again. He was actually a bit puzzled. How could the Young Master bring Miss Julia back with him?
"Quick, instruct the kitchen to immediately stir-fry a plate of noodles!" The old lady, having regained her composure, immediately instructed Uncle Ying. "That girl Julia is crazy about noodles, especially stir-fried noodles. Be sure to add shredded mushrooms—without shredded mushrooms, she won’t like them. Also, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour ribs—prepare a bit of everything she loves to eat." It was as if she knew Julia’s preferences like the back of her hand.
Uncle Ying smiled. "Old Lady, it’s already prepared. I’ll have someone bring it out now."
"Go, hurry," the old lady waved, urging Uncle Ying to quickly bring out the dishes Julia loved.
Uncle Ying turned and left the dining room. Just as he stepped out, Glades Horne walked in, holding Julia Bluen’s hand.
"Grandma," Glades called out gravely.
"Glades, you’re back! Oh?" The old lady turned her head. When she saw her proudest grandson holding Julia Bluen’s slender, pale hand, her eyes immediately lit up as if she had seen a large box of glittering diamonds.
Catching the old lady’s slightly surprised but mostly ecstatic gaze, Julia Bluen immediately withdrew her hand.
