Chapter 1530


    Vanessa blushed and smiled awkwardly. At that instant, she was a little displeased with Julien.


    Julien brought her home with him, but not only did he not officially introduce her and Lawrie to his


    family, but he also left Vanessa alone and went to apany his grandfather. How could he just let


    her handle his family all by herself?


    She subtly looked out to the porch, hoping that Julien woulde back to apany her.


    However, no matter how many times she looked out, Julien did not show up. Karen Joy and Karen


    noticed Vanessa''s gaze in an instant and after giving each other a knowing look, Karen Joy said,


    "Vanessa, why don''t we go out to the porch for a walk."


    "Sure." In fact, the three of them had been talking for quite a while now, so Vanessa had been


    wanting to go out for a walk. Moreover, she wanted to see where Julien was, but she couldn''t bring


    it up. Karen Joy''s proposal was indeed timely.


    Karen said, "I''ll hand Vanessa over to you now. You''re responsible for taking good care of her


    today."

    Karen Joy reassured, "Don''t worry, Mom. I will definitely take good care of my future sister-inw."


    Secret Garden was extremely spacious, and it''sndscaping was very well maintained, making


    each and every corner of it extremely pleasing to the eye.


    This was Vanessa''s first time at Secret Garden, so she wasn''t particrly familiar with the


    surroundings. When Karen Joy took her around, she could not help but feel amazed. Vanessa was


    born in a rtively well off family, but they couldn''tpare with the Kyle family at all. She finally


    got to see what it really meant to be the richest family in the world.


    "Vanessa, there''s another garden behind. How about we go there?" Karen Joy said while walking.


    After a while, she brought Vanessa to a pavilion and sat down. "Vanessa, would you mind if I ask


    you a question?"


    Vanessa''s heart skipped a beat. She thought that the Kyle family were different from other families,


    but it seemed that they still cared about Lawrie''s existence. In the end, they were the same as


    everyone else.


    That was what Vanessa assumed so she unconsciously put on a distant and polite smile, and her


    tone became much colder in an instant. "Miss Kyle, you can ask whatever you want. I will answer


    everything I know."


    Karen Joy saw the change in the look on Vanessa''s face and wondered if she shouldn''t have been


    so meddlesome. However, what she wanted to ask concerned Julien''s future happiness, so no


    matter what, she had to get to the bottom of it. "Why did you and Julien break up back then?"


    Vanessa pursed her lips. "What do you want to know, Miss Kyle?"


    Karen Joy knew that Vanessa must have misunderstood her, so she immediately added, "Please


    don''t get me wrong, Vanessa. In fact, I''ve also asked Julien this exact question. But you know him,


    don''t you. He''s extremely stubborn and he insisted that this was his private matter, so he refused to


    tell me."


    Vanessa asked again, "You mean you want to know about Lawrie?"


    The entire Kyle family knew that Lawrie was Julien''s son, but they did not bring the matter up in


    front of Vanessa. Karen Joy was sure that Vanessa must have misunderstood her question, so she


    once again exined, "Vanessa, no matter who Lawrie is, we will ept him like we acknowledged


    you. I''m not asking you about Lawrie, I just want to know how much do you love Julien."


    Vanessa was speechless.


    It turned out that Karen Joy wasn''t asking about Lawrie.


    "Julien is my only biological brother. I don''t want him to go through the pain he experienced back


    then. I hope that the girl he likes will love him as much as he loves her, and I hope that the two of


    them can live happily ever after."


    Vanessa was a little skeptical that this was all Karen Joy wanted to ask. "Do you have any other


    worries about me?"


    Karen Joy shook her head and said, "No, I have no bad intentions. I just hope that you and Julien


    can be happy. Julien has always been a sensible person since he was a kid. Naturally, he received


    less attention and care than the rest of us. However, it doesn''t mean that our family doesn''t love


    him. On the contrary, we love him very much and hope that he can form a happy family with the


    woman he loves."


    After hearing what Karen Joy had said, Vanessa finally understood that Karen Joy meant no harm


    to her. Karen Joy loved her brother too much and she wanted him to be happy, that''s why she was


    trying to sound Vanessa out.


    Now that Vanessa had cleared all her doubts, she smiled sincerely and said, "Don''t worry, Miss


    Kyle. That''s what I thought too. I hope that Julien can be with the woman he loves and build a


    happy family. However, I hope that the woman he loves is me. I''m willing to love him with all my


    heart and make him the happiest man in the world.


    Little did Vanessa know, when she was saying those words to Karen Joy, Julien was standing not


    far away from her. He heard every single word that she had said. He thought, no wonder he was


    sneezing when he was out there ying chess with his grandfather! It turned out that Vanessa was


    thinking and talking about him.


    He walked towards them, and Vanessa noticed him. The moment Vanessa saw him, Vanessa


    turned shy. "You''re here."


    "Yeah, I''m here." Julien walked over and reached out his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear.


    "What are you guys talking about?"


    "Miss Kyle said that you should take good care of me, and you''re not allowed to bully me," Vanessa


    answered.


    "Well, that''s a given." Julien looked at her and couldn''t stop himself from nting a kiss on


    Vanessa''s forehead in front of Karen Joy. "I''ve been away for so long, but you''re still smiling so


    happily. Don''t you miss me at all?"


    Vanessa wanted to say that she did miss him, but Karen Joy was still here. She was too shy to say


    it out loud.


    However, Karen Joy was smart enough to read the situation, so she said, "Well, Vanessa and I have


    been talking for quite a while now. I''ll hand her over to you then."


    Then, Karen Joy walked away, letting them spend some alone time together.


    Once Karen Joy left, Julien asked, "My sister didn''t make things difficult for you, did she?"


    "She did," Vanessa said sullenly.


    Julien instinctively spoke up for Karen Joy, "My sister isn''t that kind of person. Did you


    misunderstand what she said?"


    Vanessa rolled her eyes at him and said, "Since you know that she''s not that kind of person, why


    did you ask such a question? Just think how sad she would be if she happened to hear you."


    Julien could not refute Vanessa''s words.


    It was true that he hadn''t considered the situation thoroughly. His first instinct was to check if


    Vanessa wasfortable here, so he did not think much about anything else.


    Vanessa added, "Your mom, Karen Joy and Silvia really treated me like I''m one of you guys."
