“You understand.”
“I do! Look, what woman doesn’t want to be carefully protected? Even if she goes to meet friends, I’m willing to wait for her downstairs. Mr. Walters wouldn’t do that, right?”
In Lion’s eyes, Ulric was always busy. How could he possibly have time to accompany Rosalind?
So, part of the reason they separated must have been because Ulric couldn’t always be there for Rosalind.
What he didn’t know was that Ulric could put aside all company matters and cancel morning meetings just to make breakfast for Rosalind.
Even now!
He had moved all his meetings online just to be in Jingtown.
“She won’t accept you.” Ulric had seen through Lion as just a pursuer.
No different from himself.
Except Lion could pursue openly, while he… could only do it secretly like this.
“Then let’s wait and see.” Lion was obviously confident and waved at Ulric. “I won’t bother you anymore. See you around.”
He turned and left, and Cedric got out of the car.
“Mr. Walters, should we do something about Eastsun Corporation…”
“No need.” Ulric shifted his gaze from Lion’s back to the restaurant entrance, his eyes deep. “Rosalind won’t choose him.”
“Naturally! You are better than him in every way, whether in status, appearance, or character.”
That was the absolute truth!
No flattery intended.
Ulric smiled with some self-mockery. “But she won’t choose me either.”
“…”
“Zenith Corporation has collapsed. They should be leaving Jingtown soon. I’ll return to Northville City.”
Ulric knew he had responsibilities and couldn’t continue being so reckless.
Besides, in what capacity could he pursue Rosalind?
He leaned back into the car, where a conversation between the driver and Rosalind was playing.
Yes, the driver had gone in with equipment! It wasn’t that Ulric wanted to eavesdrop; he was mainly worried the driver might say something wrong.
“Thank you so much, you’re really a good person!”
Rosalind’s voice was still so gentle and pleasant.
It was clear she genuinely appreciated the driver.
Ulric didn’t dare imagine what would happen if she knew the truth about that night with him…
The conversation between the driver and her continued in the recording, and Ulric closed his eyes to listen.
Suddenly-
Rosalind’s phone rang.
Ulric instinctively furrowed his thick brows and opened his eyes.
“What?! He… he ran away from home? Did you go out to look for him? Call the police! You must find him!”
Ulric didn’t know who Rosalind was referring to, but it was clear she cared deeply about this person.
“I’m sorry, I have an urgent matter and need to leave! I’ll treat you next time.”
“Okay… okay!” The driver could only nod dumbfoundedly.
Then he saw Rosalind grab her bag and hurriedly leave the restaurant.
After confirming she left, the driver called Ulric. “Miss Ruell has left.”
“Who called her?”
“I don’t know! It was a man, sounded very anxious, and Miss Ruell looked very worried and left immediately.”
A man.
Could it be Leonard?
“You’re done here; you can go back now.”
After hanging up, Ulric immediately had Cedric drive after Rosalind and Lion’s car.
