Chapter 100
Upon hearing this, Julian glanced at his watch and politely declined, “I’m sorry, Samuel’s waiting for me alone at home.”
Upon receiving his rejection, Yvonne felt a pang of disappointment. Nevertheless, she maintained a smile and uttered, “I see. Then you should head back soon. Don’t let Samuel wait alone at home for too long.”
She tried to comfort herself by saying that Julian declined her dinner invitation due to Samuel, not his lack of interest in having dinner with her.
Then, Yvonne mentioned, “Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that Grandpa is throwing a welcome party for me this weekend to officially celebrate my return. You definitely have to be there!”
Julian nodded in agreement. “Sure, I’ll be there.”

Why are you lost in thought?” Sabrina’s voice snapped Celeste back to reality. She then discovered that the water had from the glass.

Sabrina smiled helplessly. “You can’t let yourself get so consumed by the project. You seemed distracted all day and even had dark circles under your eyes. It seems like you didn’t sleep well last night. Make sure you prioritize getting enough rest.”
