Chapter 1049


    Chapter 1049 They took turns calling Noel''s phone, but it remained unreachable.


    Julian now realized that Noel truly didn’t believe his words and had actually disappeared without a


    trace.


    Fortunately, they checked Noel''s immigration records and confirmed he was still in the country.


    Noel was not only loyal to Julian in his work, but was also a respectful son.


    If he had the intention to go abroad, he would definitelye back to see Albert.


    Julian wanted to bring Albert back to the Fulcher Manor and wait for Noel to return, but Cecilia refused.


    "What if he doesn''te back?" Cecilia asked, tears streaming down her face.


    Ever since she learned of Noel''s intention to go abroad, she didn’t stop crying.


    Julian was getting tired of her tears.


    "Well, what do you suggest we do now? We can''t just keep wandering around aimlessly." "wait here,"


    Cecilia suggested.


    "No, we can''t do that," Albert said.


    He was the first to oppose the idea.


    "My home is in the countryside.


    Even though it''ste autumn, there are still many mosquitoes because I grow many fruits and


    vegetables.


    Sir, you''re of noble status.


    How could I let you stay in a ce like mine? That would be uneptable." Cecilia didn''t argue with


    Albert.


    In fact, she was overly submissive to him.


    "When I see you, I''m reminded of my grandparents at home," Cecilia said sweetly.


    "The sweet potatoes you just cooked were delicious.


    They were soft and easy to chew." Her eyes were red.


    She had been crying for Noel all along, but her manners and attire were exceptional.


    Albert had been curious about her for a while, but he didn''t dare to inquire about her identity.


    He simply treated her very politely.


    " Thank you for your kind words.


    If you like them, I''ll roast a few more for you." As he spoke, he had already piled several bricks together


    and lit a match to set up a makeshift stove.


    Then, he brought arge iron pot and filled it with water before tossing the sweet potatoes into the fire.


    "This way, we can boil water and enjoy delicious sweet potatoes," Albert exined to Cecilia.


    "They taste even better when roasted.” Since leaving the Fulcher family, Albert had been living alone in


    the countryside.


    Now that he had the opportunity to entertain important guests, he was delighted.


    It helped distract him from his concerns about Noel.


    Suddenly, he pped his forehead.


    "Sir..." Albert was busy roasting sweet potatoes, and Cecilia wanted to try therm.


    With that, they couldn''t leave yet.


    Julian was growing impatient, and he furrowed his brows in frustration.


    Despite Albert''s hunched posture, Julian couldn''t help but recall his two lost children and Diana''s


    sadness whenever he saw Albert.


    He couldn''t sit here peacefully with Albert and wait for sweet potatoes to roast.


    He also didn''t want to follow Cecilia’s suggestion to stay here.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Cecilia was unaware of Julian''s thoughts.


    She couldn''t understand how she had fallen for a man who showed such little respect for the elderly.


    "Albert, don''t worry.


    He’ll wait with me to roast the sweet potatoes.


    He''ll also stay here with me and wait for Noel to return," Cecilia reassured Albert.


    Julian was, of course, against this n.


    However, Cecilia offered him an irresistible temptation.


    "If you agree..." She pulled him into the yard, but her gaze remained fixed on Albert.


    She didn''t stop smiling at the older man.


    "Julian," Cecilia said disdainfully.


    "Can you stop making such an unpleasant face?" No matter how good her mood was, he ruined it with


    his disagreeable attitude.


    Since Cecilia had admitted to Julian that she liked Noel, she found Julian increasingly distasteful.


    "If you agree to stay here, I''ll take the initiative to inform my mother and have her cancel our


    engagement.” “And there won''t be any other conditions?" "None." Cecilia shook her head.


    "Anyway, Noel will definitelye back to find Albert." When she saw Noel again, she would tell him


    about her feelings.


    Hopefully, he wouldn''t go abroad.


    But a whole day had passed, and Noel was stil] missing.


    Cecilia''s anxiety grew stronger.


    Julian was also getting worried.


    “T''ll go back to the manor.


    Maybe Noel has returned there," he said.


    As soon as he returned to the Fulcher Manor, a servant informed him about La''s request to contact


    him.
