Josephine was also surprised. “Oh? I’ve never heard you mention it before?”
Julian said, “It’s a private matter, Grams.”
Then, Josephine stopped asking and said. “Then be careful and remember to keep in touch with Alex”
Alexandra did not raise her head the entire time. Was it necessary to keep in touch?
Alexandra didn’t even have Julian’s number.
Julian glanced at Alexandra and said, “Okay, Grams. I’ll go pack my things first.”
“Alex, you go up too. Help Julian pack his things.”
Actually, Josephine wanted to give Julian and Alexandra time to say goodbye.
Alexandra was stunned slightly.
Actually, Alexandra was not full yet and did not want to go up.
Julian didn’t say anything, turned around, and went upstairs.
Alexandra had no choice but to put down her fork. She glanced at the unfinished drumstick and stood up.
When Julian returned to the bedroom, the sofa was clean, and everything was already put away.
Footsteps sounded behind Julian. Julian turned around and saw Alexandra walking in..
Alexandra didn’t move when she walked in and just stood on the other side.
Alexandra’s hands hung by her sides, and she did not speak, just like a maid waiting for her boss to speak.
Julian glanced at Alexandra from the corner of his eye and felt angry.
Why was it that no matter if Alexandra was obedient or disobedient, she could still make Julian feel uneasy?
But Julian couldn’t lose his temper at her at all.
Julian ignored Alexandra and went to the storage room to get a black suitcase. Then, Julian opened the wardrobe and began to pack his clothes.
Since Julian was going out to look for Ace, there was no need to prepare formal attire.
Julian’s casual clothes were placed on the right side of the wardrobe. He didn’t wear them often, but he needed to bring a few over this time.
Alexandra secretly glanced at Julian’s back as he packed his clothes. Then, Alexandra lowered her head and scratched her nails in boredom.
Suddenly, creaking sounds sounded.
A strange sound was heard.
Julian, who was bending down to look for clothes, paused for a moment. Behind Julian, Alexandra was also stunned.
The air was silent for two seconds.
Then, Julian reached his hand in.
At the same time, Alexandra ran over quickly.
Julian touched something and took it out.
Julian stood up, glanced at Alexandra, who was running over, and picked up the two bags of cranberry cookies.
“You hid them?” Jalian asked Alexandra without any emotion or expression.
Alexandra stared at the things in Julian’s hand, her face burning.
Snacks were not allowed at home.
Julian was a clean freak.
More importantly, no food was allowed in the bedroom.
These were all snacks given to Alexandra by Emery’s mother when Alexandra was a guest at Emery’s house that day.
Alter Alexandra came back, there was nowhere to put them, so she hid them in the wardrobe.
Unexpectedly, Julian, who was going on a business trip tonight, found out.
Alexandra was definitely Julian’s nemesis!
Alexandra opened her mouth and blinked. “Emery’s mom gave them to me! I originally wanted to let Grams and Mom try it, but I forgot!”
Chapter 58
Julian would never forget the first day Alexandra went to Ranford Tower and even packed away the snacks that she couldn’t finish.
Indeed, one’s nature could not be changed.
Alexandra was already an adult, yet she still brought delicious snacks from her good friend’s house!
Wasn’t it embarrassing?
Looking at Alexandra’s quibbling expression, Julian really could not do anything to her.
“Alexandra, are you a pig?”
“I’m not a pig. I think I’m more like a bunny!”
Julian was stunned.
After Alexandra finished speaking, she realized that she was talking back to Julian, her boss, again.
Alexandra felt a little regretful and stopped talking.
Alexandra was waiting for Julian to throw out all the delicious snacks she had hidden, but Julian threw the cookies in his hand in again.
It was as if Julian did not find them at all.
Julian continued to choose clothes from the wardrobe and threw them on the bed.
From the corner of his eye, Julian saw that Alexandra was still standing there. Then, Julian said to Alexandra, “What are you standing there for? Are you supervising your boss who is working?”
Alexandra was stunned.
Without saying anything. Alexandra picked up the clothes on the bed, folded them for Julian, and placed them in the suitcase.
Alexandra helped Julian pack his suitcase. Julian went to the bathroom to wash up and changed into a black casual suit.
By the time Julian was done, Marco was already outside the door.
Julian pulled his suitcase to the door. He felt that he still had something to tell Alexandra.
For example, telling Alexandra that he was going to look for Ace.
For example, telling her his phone number.
However, when Julian turned around and saw Alexandra standing at the side with her head lowered, he did not say anything and left directly with his
suitcase.
After Julian left, Alexandra went to give Josephine a massage.
After Alexandra was done, she returned to the bedroom. Just as she was considering whether to sleep on the bed or the sofa, Alexandra received a new message on her phone.
It was from Jesper on WhatsApp.
Jesper had disappeared for almost half a month.
Alexandra opened the chat box and saw Jesper’s message. Then, Alexandra felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Jesper sent Alexandra an address and a name, saying that this was the last patient that Ace treated before he disappeared.
Perhaps this patient knew where Ace had gone.
Alexandra wasn’t sure if Jesper’s information was true. Since even Julian couldn’t find Ace, how could Jesper find him?
Alexandra asked Jesper. [Are you sure?]
Jesper replied. I also made some effort to find out from a friend. Do you want to go and take a look?]
Alexandra immediately replied. [Yes, I want to go.]
Alexandra closed the chat box. As Alexandra went to get her suitcase, she booked the latest flight on her phone.
After packing a few clothes and daily necessities, Alexandra put on a jacket and left.
When Alexandra went downstairs, she bumped into the maid, Ruth. Alexandra told Ruth that her father, Peter, had a cerebral thrombosis and was hospitalized, so Alexandra had to go back and stay for a few days.
Ruth did not suspect anything and let Alexandra leave.
When Alexandra arrived at the airport in a taxi, Julian’s plane had just taken off.
Alexandra sat alone in the airport lobby. Thinking that she might be able to find Ace this time, Alexandra was both excited and a little depressed.
Perhaps if Alexandra found Ace this time, she could leave the Ranford family?
However, Alexandra had clearly promised to work with Julian for a year. Il Alexandra left just like that, would Julian be unhappy?

Most importantly, if it was that case, Alexandra couldn’t get her salary!
Then, how could Alexandra buy a house?
And how could Alexandra become a rich woman?
Sigh!
Alexandra was so conflicted.
Julian arrived at Sheffield Airport at one in the morning. As soon as Julian left the airport, a tall man with a buzz cut in a black windbreaker walked up.
“Mr. Ranford.” The man bowed and reached out to take the suitcase from Julian.
Julian had not seen Frank for a long time.
This time, even though it was night, Julian could tell that Frank had lost a lot of weight recently. Frank’s face was covered in stubble.
However, Frank’s eyes were beautiful and sharp, shining.
Julian followed Frank to the SUV and asked him, “Is the news accurate?”
Frank replied, “I’ve been to a few places before. Some people said that Ace went to the deep mountains to study some kind of immortality medicine. Others said that he had already passed away. This time, it was a coincidence. When I went to a village to investigate, I heard that their village had a plague a few years ago. Almost everyone in the nearby village suffered from it. It was Ace who brought his two disciples here. After seven days of stopping the plague, they left. Half a year later, the village head of the neighboring village contracted serious rectal cancer and contacted Ace. Ace came again. However, not long after Ace left that time, he disappeared.”
