Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 330: Will she be needing help...

Richard’s response left Julian stumped. His heart lurched, and the sharp sting of disappointment gnawed at his chest.

He dared not imagine that even after today, after coming all this way, he might not be able to see her.

Let alone tell her the truth: that they shared a past, that they had a connection and are bound by blood or that she was the reason he had returned to Country Y.

He wouldn’t even get the chance to tell her that their father still waited earnestly, hoping each day for her return.

He was truly disappointed. He hadn’t expected this to be the case but then there is nothing to do.

Taking a deep breath, Julian rolled his shoulders back, forcing a smile to his lips. "Do you know the sort of emergency? Will she be needing any help?" he asked, his voice calm despite the flicker of worry in his eyes.

Richard shook his head. "It’s a private matter. I don’t know the details. But I’ll find out now that the launch has finally ended," he said, his tone neutral but laced with curiosity.

Julian gave a small nod. "Please do. And if possible, kindly reschedule my meeting with her regarding the partnership."

Richard studied him for a beat longer, his gaze narrowed at him. From the outset, he’d sensed this Anderson had come with purpose. His intent seemed to extend beyond the scope of business.

Yet despite his instincts honed from years of navigating complex people, he couldn’t detect any malice. No ulterior motives, just... something deeply personal.

In fact, Julian seemed like a man who had found a long-lost treasure, something precious that he once thought was gone forever. And now that he had a glimpse of it again, he was determined and vowed never to lose it again.

Richard folded his arms, his gaze probing. "Aside from the partnership, is there any other business she has with the Anderson Group?" Richard asked, his suspicion written all over his face.

"Not explicitly," Julian replied, the faintest smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. "But we’re hopeful. In the nearest future, I believe there will be a lot."

Richard arched a brow "In the future?" He murmured to himself but remained silent.

After a long pause, he finally said, "She had actually been worried about not receiving you by herself. That’s why she asked me to step in."
