Chapter 29 Falling In Love with Niki at First Sight

Julian met Niki for the first time at a grand outdoor banquet.

At that time, the Graham family was not only omnipotent in LA, but also ranked in the New York city where. there were many rich families.

Because of this, the Graham family also got the chance to attend that banquet.

At the age of twelve, Julian and his brother went to the party with their grandfather. As for which rich family held the party, he had already forgotten.

He only remembered how luxurious the party was. Everyone was so well dressed and even their hair was shining. It was a place where all the top celebrities gathered. Even he, who had attended many parties at a young age, felt a little timid at the party.

At the banquet, Grandpa kept talking to the people around him with a flattering smile.

Julian was always silent and a little unsociable, not as optimistic as his brother. As expected, his easygoing brother made many friends as soon as he arrived at the banquet. They sat together and smiled happily.

Her brother noticed him and asked him to join them. But he was annoyed, shook his head and ran out.

Her brother’s voice became distant in his ears. He kept running until he ran to a bridge. He could no longer run and stopped breathlessly.

Julian sat down. Wild flowers and plants grew around the river, looking prosperous.

He unwittingly rolled up his trousers, took off his shoes and sat on the shore. He didn’t know how long he had been sitting there, and heard his brother’s shout.

Hearing the voice, Julian stood up, but he didn’t notice the slippery at his feet. He lost his balance on the slippery soil, and he slipped and fell into the water.

The overwhelming river rushed over and almost drowned him in an instant. The feeling of suffocation came. Julian took a deep breath, but he was still drowned in the water. He desperately wanted to cry for help, but

his mouth was filled with more water. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Just when he thought he couldn’t breathe, there was a sound of someone falling into the water around him. He held back the breath and looked up. It was his brother.

But his brother could only barely reach his hand. Before Julian could hold his hand tightly, he was a little tired. His rose and sank in the water, and the water even covered his head. Julian struggled to swim towards his brother, but failed.

“Stop splashing in the water! Don’t struggle!” Julian heard a childish and delicate girl voice. He looked up and indistinctly saw a girl shouting on the shore.

The girl jumped down abruptly, and she held his hand, but he was already exhausted at that time, and didn’t

even feel the process of being saved.

He laid on the grass. The dazzling sunshine went into his eyes. He opened his eyes reluctantly and saw the girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, smiling at him.

Julian was a little stunned, and her eyes were so beautiful that Julian almost fell into it in an instant. He felt his heart sk ip ped a beat.

Was she an angel? Was he dead? The angel came to pick him up?

He tried to open his eyes wide to see the girl’s face, but there was an adult’s anxious voice from the distance,

“Niki, where are you?”

Hearing the shout, the girl turned around and left. Julian could only see the girl’s luxurious dress and the ring shaped amulet on her clothes clearly.

Julian came out of his memory and looked at the woman in front of him. Her face was flawless. Time did not leave any trace on her face. She also had such a beautiful face as a child, but time had brought such a great change to her men tality.

The proud, bright and noble girl had become like this…

Julian felt heartbroken.

He didn’t protect her well when she was in trouble…

Niki noticed that when Julian saw the amulet, there was obvious regret in his eyes. She knew it worked, but she pretended not to know and slowly picked up the amulet.

She picked up the things in her bag one by one and was about to head out.

Julian frowned and said in a low voice, “stop.”

Niki didn’t stop. Apparently, she had made up her mind.

Seeing that Niki was about to walk out of the gate of the Graham’s, Julian was in a panic. He waved his hand and made a signal at the bodyguard.

After receiving the order, the bodyguard immediately stood up and stopped Niki. Niki pretended to be angry, “let me out. have no reason to stay here…”

Julian strode to Niki, who was stopped by the bodyguards, and gently pulled her into the room.

Niki lowered her eyes.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Julian sighed, “Niki, come on.”

Niki didn’t speak or look at him.

After a moment of silence, Julian said in a slightly soft tone, “I’m sorry for what you had been through. You’ve

suffered a lot for all these years.”

Hearing this, Niki was secretly happy. She knew that Julian had already given her a chance. She should go

down the steps now.

If she continued to act like this, things that had been getting better might become worse.

Niki continued, “Julian, don’t hate me. I promise that I won’t care so much about money in the future.”

She held Julian’s arm and looked at him sincerely.

Julian’s brows softened and said gently, “I wasn’t being considerate either.”

He called Zack, “Zack, get a secondary credit card for Niki. The sooner, the better.”

“Okay, I’ll do it right away.” said Zack, lowering his head.

Hearing what Julian said, Niki raised a smile in surprise. She managed to hide the smile and looked at

Julian.

It seemed that this amulet was very helpful. She not only got Julian’s forgiveness, but also got his credit

card.

Julian reached out and stroked Niki’s hair. “Don’t worry about money in the future. You can spend as much as

you want. Don’t worry about it.”

Niki nodded obediently.

Linda was lying on the bed. When she just woke up, Lily came up from downstairs and sat beside her bed.

Seeing Linda wake up, Lily stood up in a hurry.

“Madam, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?”

Linda nodded. She was still thinking about what had happened just now. Sitting up, she asked, “Lily, where is

Natalie?”

Lily didn’t know how to tell Linda about what had just happened. She hesitated and said, “she’s gone.”

Gone? Was she taken away by the police?

Linda got nervous, and she asked anxiously, “What about Niki?”

Lily was even more hesitant. She didn’t know whether she should say it or not. “Niki…”

“Tell me,” said Linda anxiously.

Lily said in a low voice, “Miss Linch… Is downstairs…”

Why was Niki still here?! After driving her daughter-in-law away, how could she be so shameless to stay in the Graham’s and ignore her?

Linda was so angry that she quickly stood up and went downstairs. Lily chased after her and said, “Mrs. Graham, young master is also downstairs…”

Linda sneered. It turned out that Niki was so arrogant to drive away her daughter-in-law just because of her

son’s preference. Niki hadn’t married into the Graham family yet, but she was so arrogant. When she married Julian, would she be way out of line?

When Linda walked to the living room downstairs, she saw Niki holding Julian’s arm and sitting on the sofa,

with a bright smile.

She was even angrier.

Linda walked over.
