Chapter Refusing 157
Chapter 157
Ever since Harry went on the business trip, Cromont City had been raining for two consecutive days. Sometimes it rained heavily, sometimes it drizzled. It was as if Cromont City had entered the rainy season. The weather was a little abnormal
On the day of the sudden rain, Julia happened to send her car for maintenance. She stood at the entrance of the company alone and watched the bean-sized rain splash on the ground. It was useless even if she held an umbrella. She would still be drenched. Julia did not know how long she had been standing at the door. Asher's car suddenly parked in front of her. The window rolled down, and Asher's pretty face was smiling. "You didn't drive here? Come on in. I'll send you back."
Unlike Harry, Asher liked to drive by himself. When there was an important event, he would arrange for a driver. Usually, he would drive himself to and from work. He found it convenient and exciting.
Only then did Julia know that Asher's greatest dream was to become a top-notch racer. Unfortunately, his family's mission had directly strangled his dream in the cradle and he would never be able to achieve it in this lifetime. Julia felt that it was impolite to sit in the back seat. However, she felt that it was inappropriate to sit in the front passenger
seat.
After thinking about it, Julia still felt like sitting in the front passenger seat.
Julia wanted to refuse, but the heavy rain made the cars on the road rush. Pedestrians who could hide from the rain were standing under the eaves. There were very few taxis on the road. Even if there were, they would immediately be taken by someone else. She rushed into the car as fast as she could, but Julia was still drenched. She took the tissue from Asher and thanked him. The sudden rainstorm and the sudden drop in temperature had all happened so suddenly that no one was prepared for it.
Julia had never been good with words, much less actively looking for topics to talk about. On the contrary, Asher talked about everything along the way. Julia would occasionally say a few words, but most of them were silent. To be precise, he was deep in thought. "Jeff will be here tomorrow. Is Harry still on a business trip?"
The topic suddenly changed to Harry. Julia immediately became energetic. She nodded and said, "He has been quite busy recently. I rarely contact him."
"You didn't ask him what he was busy with?" Asher asked meaningfully.
Julia smiled. "I didn't ask. It's just work."
Asher smiled and did not say anything, but he changed the topic. After sending Julia to his door, he drove away.
Before he left, he suddenly called out to Julia, "If Harry can't make it back tomorrow, you can come to our gathering as his wife."
Julia did not know how to answer. Harry did not tell her about the gathering at all. She thought about it and rejected it. "Let's wait for Harry to rush back. It's fine if he can't. It's not fun for me to go. I'm not familiar with them." Upon hearing Julia's words, Asher stopped persuading her and drove away.
Julia quickly ran home and did not take the gathering to heart. She looked at her phone, but Harry still did not reply to her message. She felt that he must have been especially busy to not reply to her messages.
Twenty minutes later, Julia finally received a reply from Harry.
The two of them chatted for a long time, but Julia did not mention anything about the gathering before hanging up.

Chapter 137
She felt that perhaps Harry did not want her to go. Besides, Harry was not around, so there was no point in her going. Those were Harry's friends. It was just hard for her to imagine that Harry had other friends besides Asher and Jett Without Harry at home, Julia suddenly felt that time had passed very slowly. She missed bickering with Harry, chatting with Harry, and also missing Harry playing tricks on her from time to time.
In short, Julia was used to Harry appearing by her side every day When he suddenly disappeared, Julia felt uncomfortable.
The next day, Julia was woken up by a familiar ringtone. She picked up the phone in a daze.
Asher's chatter came from the other end of the line. She didn't know who else was next to him, but they seemed to be cheering. She could vaguely hear someone saying her name, and then she heard them saying Harry. She forced herself to open her eyes. It was only ten in the morning.
When she was not at work, Julia always liked to stay in bed and would not wake up for breakfast. The servants at home had figured out Julia's living habits and would not disturb Julia on weekends so that she could sleep in peacefully. Julia held the phone and changed her posture. She said in a hoarse voice, "Asher, why are you calling me?"
Asher answered, "I am calling you to tell you to come join us for a meal. Everyone wants to see you because Harry has been able to hide you so well. He didn't even let them see you get married. Everyone is very curious about you."
Julia wanted to curse. Last night, she stayed up late to watch dramas until past three in the morning. Coupled with the fact that Harry was not by her side, she kept waking up in the middle of the night. Before she could speak, the phone was taken away by someone. An unfamiliar voice came.
Julia frowned. It was a woman. She was also urging her to come quickly.
By the time the phone returned to Asher's hands, Julia had already lost the chance to refuse.
She casually got out of bed and tidied up. When she went out and saw the surprise in the servant's eyes, she knew how annoying Asher's call was..
The car that was sent for maintenance had been sent back yesterday. Asher sent the address to Julia on WhatsApp. She followed the navigation and took a long detour. This place was so well-hidden that she had to take a detour to find it.
When she arrived, there were already a few people in the private room. Other than Asher and Jeff, she did not recognize any of them. She stood at the door in a daze.
"Fuck, who called a beauty over? You guys know this girl?" The person who spoke had brown hair, big eyes, long eyelashes, and slightly curly hair. He looked young.
He walked towards Julia and placed one hand on the wall. He looked at Julia with a smile. "Beauty, who called you here? Can I add you on WhatsApp?"
Julia thought, "This man is even more outgoing than Asher. How did Harry become friends with him? Harry has such a dull personality'
Just as Julia was about to speak, Asher finally discovered her. He quickly walked over and pulled the curly-haired man away. "She is with Harry. How dare you add her on WhatsApp?"
When Asher mentioned Harry's name, the curly-haired man immediately looked like a coward. He looked at Julia with a lot of admiration and respect. "Julia! I've heard a lot about you. You are indeed the best in the world. Only someone like you can subdue Harry." Julia was flattered and at a loss. Asher pushed the curly-haired man away. "This is Troy Sidney. He likes to joke. Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry... I quite like his personality." Julia smiled. "He's lively."

When Troy heard this, he quickly rushed in front of Julia as if he had met someone who knew him best. "You are the only person who understands me the best."
Julia was shocked as she thought, "Troy is indeed very lively!'

"They must be jealous that I have too many women who like me Troy said firmly. As soon as he finished speaking, a woman with long straight hair grabbed his neck and dragged him over. The two of them were playing around, and everyone was used to it. SEND GIFT
