Chapter 226 The Wedding Date
Larry swallowed hard. After a while, he said, “Yuliana, you won’t forgive me, will you?”
Yuliana said casually, “There’s nothing to forgive. It’s in the past. In fact, you’re Xandria’s friend. We don’t interact much, so you don’t have to apologize to me.”
Larry lowered his gaze and laughed at himself. This may not matter to you, but I’ve felt awful during this period. I’ve thought about apologizing to you and asking for forgiveness countless times. Can you give me a chance, Yuliana?”
Yuliana was silent for two seconds and uttered, “I accept your apology, and I forgive you.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Larry was stunned and smiled happily, “I don’t wish for anything much, Yuliana. I just hope I can stay friends with you.” With that, he raised his wrist and checked the time. “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? How about this? May I treat you to dinner tonight as an apology?”
His words puzzled Yuliana. He spoke affectionately, but he made her feel sick to her stomach.
Without showing much emotion, she simply responded, “I have something else to do tonight. I’ll pass on the dinner.”
Larry immediately asked, “Where are you going? I’ll drive you there.”
Yuliana frowned slightly. She was about to refuse when she heard someone calling her.
“Ms. Livingstone.”
Yuliana tilted her head and saw that Spencer had parked his car on the roadside. He lowered the window, poked his head out, and met her eyes. The two exchanged looks before Spencer’s eyes swept
over to Larry. Larry also noticed Spencer but quickly withdrew his sight after seeing the latter’s car.
“Let me drive you there, Ms. Livingstone. Ms. Clark must be nervous now,” Spencer said with a faint smile as he stared at the two. Yuliana froze for a moment and quickly understood what Spencer meant. She nodded and smiled. “Okay.”
With that, she proceeded to get into Spencer’s car.
Upon seeing that, Larry immediately called her. “Yuliana-”
Yuliana glanced at him and said, “Sorry, I have an appointment with my colleague tonight.”
After that, she got into Spencer’s car without saying anything else.
Larry stood there and watched quietly until Spencer had driven away, and his face instantly darkened.
On the other side, Yuliana was silent for a while after she had gotten into the car. After they had gone on for
a distance, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Carl. Oh, you can just let me down by the road.”
Spencer did not do that. Instead, he said, “Where are you going? Let me take you there.”
Yuliana paused and told him that she was meeting with Hailey at a supermarket.
It took over ten minutes to walk from the school to the supermarket, but it only took a few minutes by car.
There was silence in the car for a while.
Yuliana looked out of the window quietly. Spencer glanced at her sideways and inevitably saw her bulging
abdomen.
He asked, “Was that your friend just now?”
Upon hearing his question, Yuliana withdrew her gaze from the window and said, “No.”
She did not explain much, and Spencer did not continue to ask.
When he happened to pass by just then, he saw Yuliana standing at the roadside with a man, and the atmosphere seemed unpleasant. Yuliana tried to leave, but the man clearly stopped her, so Spencer stopped his car to get Yuliana out of the situation.
After a while, he asked again, “When are you planning to have the wedding?”
Yuliana smiled. “I’m not sure yet. We’ll think about it after the baby is born.”
She did not want a grand wedding.
Only inviting some close relatives, friends, and colleagues was enough.
However, she did not know what the Solace family’s opinions were.
Now that something had happened to Zachary, everyone was not in the mood. Yuliana planned to wait for a while and discuss it with Christopher later.
Spencer said, “Remember to let me know after you’ve decided on a date. I want to attend your wedding.”
Yuliana grinned generously. “Sure.”
Soon, they arrived at the supermarket entrance.
Yuliana thanked Spencer again, unfastened her seatbelt, and got off the car.
After exiting the car, she immediately spotted Hailey waiting at the entrance. Hailey welcomed Yuliana right after the latter had gotten out of the car and looked at the car behind her. Without asking further questions, Hailey entered the supermarket with Yuliana.
At night, after the high-energy music had ended, Margaret exited the dance floor and went straight to the booth in the bar. She sat down, picked up the wine on the table, and chugged on it.
“Are you in a bad mood again?”
A young girl dressed in a white sling-short skirt looked toward her.
Margaret glanced at her and grumbled, “Since when have I ever been in a bad mood?”
The girl pouted and did not answer as she continued playing games with others.
There were also two other men and women with Margaret, all of whom were her university classmates. Two girls lived in the same dorm as Margaret, while another girl in the same dorm was not in a group with them.
As for the two men, they were the two girls’ boyfriends.
All of them would hang out occasionally.
Recently, Margaret’s mood had been unstable. Any random things would offend her.
Hence, the group disliked hanging out with Margaret lately.
This time, Margaret had taken the initiative and invited them out. She had also offered to pay the bill for the night, so the two roommates called their boyfriends, and they met up.
Upon seeing the four chat happily, Margaret felt like she was being isolated and felt highly displeased. Back then, she mostly went out with her friends inside the circle.
Upon thinking of that, she snorted, took her phone, and went to the bathroom.
She walked while checking her messages.
When she saw the latest message, she stopped to reply: (I’m at the bar. Do you want to come over?]
Soon, the other person typed back: [Address?]
Margaret sent the location of the bar, put away her phone, and went to the restroom.
After finishing her business, her phone rang while she was smoking a cigarette.
“I’m here, but I don’t see you.”
Margaret said, “You’re fast.”
“I was nearby.”
Margaret answered, “I’m in the restroom. Come here.”
When Margaret had finished smoking, she saw the man standing in the corridor outside the restroom.
Many people were in the bar, and they filled the narrow corridors.
Margaret was about to approach the man when she saw someone flirting with him. She stopped in her tracks and spectated from afar.
The flirting woman was voluptuous and looked like she was in her twenties, with heavy makeup on her face. The bar was too noisy, and Margaret could not hear what the woman was saying. Margaret only
saw the man’s face turn cold. The man said something, and the woman left with a nasty expression.
Margaret scoffed as she approached the man.
“That woman doesn’t look bad. She has a big chest and bottom. Don’t men like women like her?”
The man turned around and looked at Margaret. He pinned her against the wall and said wryly, “I like women like you more.”
Margaret rested her hand on his shoulder and leaned closer to him. When their lips were about to touch, she stopped and said, “I don’t like men like you, Holmes.”
The man was none other than Larry.
Deep down, Margaret was not attracted to Larry. After all, the Holmes family could not compare to the Ziegler family at all.
