Chapter 1265
Lily went around the garden and saw the housekeeper leading Austin in when she rounded the rockery.
Austin was not wearing a suit and instead dressed casually, looking humbled. Lily raised her brow,
quickened her pace, and walked away.
Austin had waited so long at the gate that he fell asleep. When he woke, he noticed that the gate was
still closed, and there was no indication that they would let him in. The most puzzling thing was that the
red sports car was still at the gate.
'This doesn’t make sense! Dominic usually doesn't entertain his guests for too long and usually tries to
get rid of them within half an hour. However, he's been with the same guest for so long today. That
person must be special.'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFortunately, just as he thought he could not go in today, the housekeeper came to tell him that Dominic
was ready to meet him.
Thrilled, Austin followed the housekeeper into the compound. However, he felt a chill run down his
spine as he rounded the bend in the garden. Austin shuddered and halted in his path as he looked over
his shoulder.
Someone flashed past on the other side of the garden and vanished. As too many plants blocked
Austin's view, he only caught a glimpse of a figure.
'Hmmrn...' He knitted his brow and wondered why the person looked a bit familiar.
"Sir?" The housekeeper walked ahead but did not hear footsteps behind her, so she stopped in her
path. She looked over her shoulder and saw Austin zoning out.
Austin caught himself and hurriedly replied, "I'm coming!"
He quickened his pace and could not help but look back, but there was no more sign of anyone.
Puzzled, he followed the housekeeper into the living room.
Soon after, Dominic shuffled in from the back door wearing his slippers, held up a teapot in his hand,
and took two sips of tea. Letting out a satisfied sigh, he gazed up at Austin. "Why are you here again?"
"My grandpa wanted to know how you're doing and told me to pay you a visit," Austin hurriedly
answered, "I know you don't like supplements, so I only brought you some tea leaves."
"How good could your tea leaves be? You guys know nothing about them!" Dominic snorted
dismissively and sat on a chair, crossing his legs. He looked askance at Austin and said, "Since your
grandpa wants to know how I'm doing, why has he sent you, a little brat, over instead of coming over
himself?
"My grandpa is old and isn't in good shape as he used to be. He doesn't know how to care for himself
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand isn't as healthy as you."
'Austin must be up to something by saying that, isn't he?’ Dominic kept his eyes half closed and put on
a sluggish look, purposely not responding to what Austin said.
After two seconds, Austin said, despite himself, "I remember the special pills you made could improve
health. Can you give two to my grandpa? I’ll pass them to him.”
"Tsk!" The older man said throatily and suddenly looked at Austin. "How dare you?"
"I..."
'You know I only made eight of them. They took me so much effort, energy, time, and money! Now
you're asking for two pills just like that? For what? Is your grandpa dying and needs them to save his
life?" Dominic was so blunt that Austin blushed in embarrassment.
