Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1401 A Game of Patience

At that moment, River came over and greeted the others courteously. "Good morning, Mr. Nolan, Miss Maxwell. Mr. Bleu has gone to City Palace, but before he left, he told me to make sure you guys get some rest. Later, he'll be back to pick you all up to visit the Governor General."

Olivia responded with an affirmative hum. Despite River's usual disrespectful attitude, she somehow felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the same old face she was once used to.

When River told them that they had to wait for a while, they thought he meant an hour or two, but as time went by, they ended up waiting from dawn until dusk. During the process of waiting, River also came over a few times just to tell them that they had to keep waiting because Albert was busy.

Meanwhile, Olivia, who was already experiencing fluctuations in her emotions due to her pregnancy, felt even more annoyed and impatient at the thought that she had to waste the whole day waiting for Albert. Because of that, her patience slowly wore thin, not to mention the fact that she was not a mild-mannered lady in the first place. If we can't see Albert today, we're probably going to have to stay here for one more day, but our child is still sick back home. So, why exactly is this guy making us wait here like fools?!

The thought of that made Olivia more impatient and irritable. Then, when River came over once again to tell them that they might have to wait a little longer, Olivia lost her cool and vented out her anger on him.

"What's the meaning of all this nonsense?! What's taking Albert so long? Is he still going to entertain us or what?!"

Instead of reacting with anger like he usually would, River responded by explaining patiently. "I'm sorry, Miss Maxwell. I understand your frustration, but I'm sure the reason Mr. Bleu can't come right now is because he is occupied by something. Please bear with us for a little while more. I'll check out his current status for you right now."

Governor General's residence had an older and more decrepit appearance than Albert's manor did, especially evident in the courtyard's traditional-looking structure. Apart from the tight
