Chapter 78 I Really Miss You

Feeling helpless, Aurora had no choice but to answer the call.

"Hello." She felt that she couldn't be as composed in front of Julian as she was with Hayden.

"Where are you?" Julian's deep voice came through.

At that moment, he was standing outside Aurora's villa. It was not even nine o'clock yet. She had no reason to be asleep so early.

The house was pitch dark. Obviously, no one was home. Given her previous habits of working until midnight without fatigue, he found it unlikely she would be asleep so early. Julian, finding the house empty, felt an emptiness in his heart.

"I'm at a hotel," Aurora confessed, fearing the repercussions of lying to Julian.

"What? Why? Is there something wrong with your new home?" Julian asked, relieved she hadn't lied.

Aurora glanced around the pink, girlish room and replied softly, "I still need some things for the new house, and the hotel is more convenient. Where are you?"

"Outside your house," Julian answered honestly.

"What are you doing out there?" Aurora was taken aback.

Julian, detecting the surprise in her voice, felt somewhat helpless. He had been drinking and suddenly felt a strong desire to see her, even if just for a moment.

He had his chauffeur take him here, only to find she wasn't home. The cool sea breeze helped sober him up a bit.

"Nothing. I just wanted to see you. It's getting late. Go to bed early and don't work too late," he said with concern.

Aurora, who initially felt nothing, was unexpectedly touched by his words.
