Chapter 67 Sorry, I’m Not

Elise smiled as she answered with another question, “What do you think?”

Julius immediately jumped from his chair and ran toward her. However, when he was half a step away from her, she stopped him. “Hey, calm down. There’s no need to get too worked up.”

His eyes reddened. “It’s been so many years and you’re finally back! We’ve looked everywhere for you…”

As he spoke, his voice started choking up.

Then, Elise patted him on the shoulder. “Look, I’m back in one piece. I see that you’re learning to enjoy life more now, eh? You seem to be getting by quite nicely on your own.”

It took a while for Julius to finally calm down, albeit slightly. Then, he asked, “Do Noel and the others know that you’re back?”

“For now, I don’t think so.”

He hurriedly wiped the tears from his eyes as he added, “Noel has been waiting all these years for your return and he’s the only one who insisted on waiting for you in the same place. I heard that he’s the exclusive lyricist for an artist since he still has his way with words. However, without your voice and songs, the best effect cannot be achieved no matter how good the lyrics are.”

Elise didn’t say a word as she looked around at the courtyard houses. After a while, she suggested, “Let’s go out for dinner tonight.”

An elated Julius replied, “Then, I’ll ask them to come along.”

She quickly responded, “No, don’t tell them that I’m back. Let’s just have dinner together.”

There was hesitation on his end. “I promised Noel to inform him of any news relating to you the moment I receive them.” After saying that, he seemed to arrive at a conclusion. “Never mind, I’ll just keep quiet. Maybe I can show you around instead?”
