Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 244: Invitation

Moira Young couldn’t understand why he agreed to Fiona Rhodes’ invitation?

Julian Sinclair closed the file in his hands. Fiona Rhodes hadn’t expected Julian Sinclair to agree so readily. She had originally prepared to keep pestering and persuading him shamelessly, but the task was accomplished after just a couple of sentences.

Fiona Rhodes was secretly pleased, moved forward to try to link her arm with Julian Sinclair’s, but Julian Sinclair subtly avoided her.

Moira Young sat on the sofa, staring dazedly as Fiona Rhodes and Julian Sinclair left together, without Julian leaving a single word behind.

She didn’t understand, didn’t understand what he really meant.

After a while, Butler Liu came in.

"Miss, shall I take you home?"

Moira Young hadn’t been crying, but upon hearing these words, she immediately started to cry, "I don’t want to."

"Miss, Master Adrian is still waiting at home." Butler Liu persuaded.

"It’s not me who asked him to wait!" Moira Young wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, determined not to return home.

Butler Liu tried to persuade her with kind words, and kept at it for a long time, but Moira Young wouldn’t listen.

Until Moira Young suddenly remembered that she had bought a gift for Julian Sinclair.

She had to go back and throw away that gift, Julian Sinclair definitely didn’t deserve the gift she intended to give.

Butler Liu dropped Moira Young home, then left.

Adrian Grant sat at the dining table with drool all over the table, "I wonder why you both are taking so long? This cake has been here for a long time and nobody’s lighting a candle."

Upon hearing sounds from the foyer, Adrian Grant immediately started grumbling.

"It’s just me." Moira Young said coldly as she walked in.

"Hey? Where’s Julian Sinclair?" Adrian Grant glanced back, noticing Julian Sinclair wasn’t there.

"He’s gone on a date with Fiona Rhodes." Moira Young threw out this line and went upstairs to her room, not wanting to hear Adrian Grant calling from downstairs.

She dug out the cufflinks she had custom-made for Julian Sinclair, what a joke, they were even engraved with her name.

Moira Young opened the window and threw them far out, without a moment’s hesitation.

She knew Julian Sinclair was a liar, yet she insisted on staying to endure this humiliation!

Moira Young packed a few clothes and went downstairs, planning to return to her own home.

Adrian Grant looked at Moira Young, baffled, "Little Moira, where are you going?"

Moira Young glared at him with red-rimmed eyes, saying nothing.

"How could he possibly go on a date with Fiona Rhodes, it can’t be!" Adrian Grant refused to believe, "Isn’t there some misunderstanding?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"The event happened right before my eyes. There’s no misunderstanding."

"Absolutely impossible, there must be some reason, wait, I’ll call him and ask." Adrian Grant became serious, convinced there was a reason behind Julian Sinclair’s date with Fiona Rhodes, but for now, having Sinclair Group’s power, what reason could there be that would entangle him?

Adrian Grant was about to pull out his phone when Moira Young took advantage of the moment to slip past him and leave.

——

On the other side.

Fiona Rhodes had booked the best restaurant in Aleridia and cleared the venue.

She truly had ulterior motives and had prepared a birthday cake for Julian Sinclair with two children figures on top, a boy and a girl, very cute.

Fiona Rhodes pulled out a photo and handed it to Julian Sinclair, "Julian, look, this is a photo from when we were kids. I placed it on the cake."

In the photo were two children, a boy and a girl, holding hands, smiling brightly.

Julian Sinclair had seen his childhood photos before, so he believed the people in the photo were him.

But what he didn’t expect was that his relationship with Fiona Rhodes had been so close and joyful when they were young.

Fiona Rhodes noticed Julian Sinclair’s gaze staying on the photo for quite some time, so she forced out a couple of tears, "Julian, we were so close as kids, but now..."

"But it doesn’t matter, whether we can get married isn’t important, what I really hope is that you’ll be happy." Fiona Rhodes looked into Julian Sinclair’s eyes, "Since Aunt Sinclair passed away, you’ve rarely smiled..."

"I hope today’s birthday party can help you find the feeling of the birthdays I’ve spent with you in the past."

Julian Sinclair pushed the photo aside and said lightly, "Stop pretending."

Fiona Rhodes’ smile froze, "Pretend... pretend what?"

"That necklace isn’t yours." Julian Sinclair said coldly.

Fiona Rhodes had already prepared her story when she went to find Moira Young that day, "Julian, I’ll be honest with you, the necklace incident was to test if you had lost your memory."

"I didn’t keep it from her; I’ve already returned it to that girl Moira."

Julian Sinclair didn’t say anything.

"Also, in our home, when my brother took photos of us, it really was because my relationship with you is so close, that this happened."

"If you are mad because of this, I’ll apologize to you on his behalf."

Julian Sinclair’s expression was indifferent; he didn’t care much to hear Fiona Rhodes speak of such trivial matters. He took out his phone and sent a text to his subordinate—find out where Moira Young went this afternoon.

This text wasn’t sent to Butler Liu. Julian Sinclair knew Butler Liu occasionally helped Moira Young cover things up.

"Julian, it’ll soon be Aunt Sinclair’s memorial day; I usually accompany you to visit her, but this year we..." Fiona Rhodes didn’t finish her sentence.

"Can I accompany you to visit Aunt Sinclair this year?"

Julian Sinclair received a reply from his subordinate—Miss spent the afternoon with a man looking at storefronts, and rented two shops near the Art Academy.

The veins on Julian Sinclair’s hand popped out, and his fine eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"Julian?" Fiona Rhodes was a bit puzzled, knowing that Julian Sinclair’s current demeanor wasn’t aimed at her.

"Go." Julian Sinclair put his phone away, agreeing without hesitation.

Fiona Rhodes gazed at him happily, "Alright, I’ll stay domestically with you then, and when the time comes, we’ll go to Vesperia together to visit Aunt Sinclair."

"Hmm." Julian Sinclair grabbed his wine glass and drank it all in one go.

Although Fiona Rhodes couldn’t quite guess what Julian Sinclair was thinking, she didn’t care at the moment about his thoughts, just as long as Julian Sinclair was willing to drink, then tonight, let him drink more.

The real drama lies ahead.

Julian Sinclair’s mind was filled with images of Moira Young lying to him, and the content of that message just now.

Just two shops, why couldn’t she just tell him straight? Why hide it?

Could it be because of that man?

"Julian, you should drink less..." Fiona Rhodes deliberately tried to persuade him, but Julian Sinclair had already had quite a bit.

But Julian Sinclair wouldn’t listen.

Fiona Rhodes didn’t plan for Julian Sinclair to get drunk in today’s scheme, but things always come unexpectedly. Seeing Julian Sinclair drunk, an idea sprouted in her heart.

She thought, since Moira Young was at Julian Sinclair’s house, then she should go home with him this time.

Let Moira Young see with her own eyes how she once again ends up in Julian Sinclair’s bed.
