Chapter 803 Secret Delight

The door was pushed open at that moment. Harold had led Yuliana Lynch into the room. When he saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, he smiled with just the right amount of politeness and greeted. "Hello, Mr. Flinders." The man known as Mr. Flinders nodded his head slightly in response. Only then did Harold walk up to Gregory Graham, then whispered, "Boss, she’s here." Gregory looked up, glanced at him, and gave a "hmm". "You may leave." "Yes sir." Harold then respectfully retreated. Yuliana stood there, somewhat confused. Originally, she thought that Gregory had wanted to see her in private and was elated, but in this situation, it was obvious that he was meeting a guest. At this time, why did he ask her to come over? Yuliana was arrogant enough to think that Gregory would bring her along to socialize with his guests. After all, she was nothing in his eyes, much less be considered his woman. Then why did he summon her? With a puzzled feeling, Yuliana looked up towards Gregory. She saw that he was examining her. An eeriness flashed in the depths of his seemingly deep eyes. For some reason, her heart fell with a thud. She had a foreboding feeling. Just at that moment, another man also raised his head towards her. "This is…” Due to the angle of the entrance, at that time, Yuliana's back was facing the man. Thus, he did not see her face. Gregory smiled slightly and introduced them. "Yuliana, meet Mr. Flinders." She was stunned. Yuliana? This was the first time Gregory had addressed her in this manner. There was some subconscious panic, but even more so, a secret delight. With a crisp response, she turned around and looked at the man behind her. This look, however, was a startled one. She originally thought that all of Gregory's friends should be similar to him. They must all be bold and macho men. Unexpectedly, the one sitting on the sofa in front of her was surprisingly a gentle and elegant bespectacled middle-aged man. At a glance, he looked like a highly educated man. When she was sizing him up, the man had also reciprocated. Unlike her surprise and curiosity, the man's eyes were just filled with shock! Gregory noticed his expression and a touch of satisfaction crossed the depths of his eyes. At this time, Yuliana had already come back to her senses. With a sweet voice, she said, "Hello, Mr. Flinders." The man did not respond. His gaze was locked onto her as if he was in a daze. He did not even respond when she greeted him. Yuliana's heart felt a little uneasy and turned to look at Gregory, but she saw that he was only looking at her encouragingly. She then turned back again and called out, "Mr. Flinders?" This time, Shimon Flinders finally responded. He seemed to have realized his lack of manners, changed his expression, and said, "Sorry, where are my manners, this lady is…” He glanced towards Gregory. Gregory curled up his lips into a smile and said, "A guest that I’d unintentionally saved earlier. She had recently taken up temporary residence in the chateau, but she's from China and I'm planning to send her back someday." "A Chinese?" Shimon Flinders was surprised. This time, Yuliana was also astounded. ‘What? Send her back?’ ‘Didn't he say he wouldn't send her away again? Now, why...’ Yuliana became anxious and quickly pleaded. "Mr. Graham, I can't go back. I already told you before, I…” However, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Gregory’s chilling gaze. Gregory looked at her with a sharp gaze that implied an admonition. The rest of Yuliana’s words had instantly halted in her throat. At this time, Shimon also reacted. He realized that they were talking about something that he did not understand and asked, "What are you guys talking about? Why can't she go back?" Gregory smiled slightly. "She’s from China. She only ended up here because she ran away from her marriage. I heard that her father was going to marry her off to an old man because her family business had failed. She was unwilling, so she ran away, but unexpectedly ran into a trafficker on the way and got hurt. I just happened to meet her and rescued her." At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and let out a self-conscious chuckle. "As you know, I like my peace and don't like having a woman around. Since I’ve saved her, I can't just leave her behind, so I had planned to get someone to send her back. As for what happens after she goes back, it's not within my jurisdiction." Yuliana's face instantly turned pale at those words. Shimon, who was beside her, frowned tightly after he heard this. “If it's really as you say, then you really shouldn't send her back." As soon as this was said, Yuliana desperately nodded in agreement as if she had found some hope. "Yes, Mr. Graham. Since you've saved me, please be kind until the end. As long as you don’t send me back, I’ll do anything you ask." Gregory looked at her and did not say a word. Shimon felt a little awkward, but at the same time, some hidden emotions were growing in his heart. He laughed and said, "Gregory, since the lady has asked so nicely, you might as well be kind once more and not send her away." As he said that, he scrutinized Yuliana's face and his eyes darkened. He smiled and added, "After all, it's quite a pity for such a beautiful little lady to marry an old man." Gregory raised his eyebrows. Yuliana saw that someone was finally willing to speak up for her and begged even harder. She even threw in some tears for the show. "Mr. Graham! Gregory, please! I beg you. Don't send me away, okay?" With that pleading voice and pitiful face, no matter who saw it, they could not help but feel moved. Shimon's gaze deepened a little more. He looked at her and his expression changed slightly. Gregory took it all in for a moment before he finally smiled. "Alright. Since Mr. Flinders has spoken on your behalf, I'll reluctantly take you in for a while longer, but you have to remember that it's all for the sake of Mr. Flinders." Yuliana was flabbergasted. Somehow, she always felt that Gregory had a clear motive when he said this. She did not understand what he meant at the moment. However, she still turned to Shimon Flinders, and politely thanked him. "Thank you, Mr. Flinders." Shimon was perplexed. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. That eyebrow, that temperament, that gentle voice… It was as if he had seen another person through her, with a similar aura, with that gentle and concerned gaze, slowly calling out to him. "Brother Shimon, Brother Shimon…” Shimon felt his heart tremble. However, he concealed it extremely well. At least, Yuliana did not see that he was lost in his thoughts.
