Chapter 1049

They took turns calling Noel's phone, but it remained unreachable. Julian now realized that Noel truly didn't believe

his words and had actually disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, they checked Noel's immigration records and confirmed he was still in the country. Noel was not only

loyal to Julian in his work, but was also a respectful son. If he had the intention to go abroad, he would definitely

come back to see Albert.

Julian wanted to bring Albert back to the Fulcher Manor and wait for Noel to return, but Cecilia refused.

"What if he doesn't come back?" Cecilia asked, tears streaming down her face. Ever since she learned of Noel's

intention to go abroad, she didn't stop crying.

Julian was getting tired of her tears. "Well, what do you suggest we do now? We can't just keep wandering around

aimlessly."

"Wait here," Cecilia suggested.

"No, we can't do that,” Albert said. He was the first to oppose the idea. My home is in the countryside. Even though

it's late autumn, there are still many mosquitoes because I grow many fruits and vegetables. Sir, you're of noble

status. How could I let you stay in a place like mine? That would be unacceptable."

Cecilia didn't argue with Albert. In fact, she was overly submissive to him.

"When I see you, I'm reminded of my grandparents at home," Cecilia said sweetly. "The sweet potatoes you just

cooked were delicious. They were soft and easy to chew."

Her eyes were red. She had been crying for Noel all along, but her manners and attire were exceptional.

Albert had been curious about her for a while, but he didn’t dare to inquire about her identity. He simply treated her

very politely. "Thank you for your kind words. If you like them, I'll roast a few more for you."

As he spoke, he had already piled several bricks together and lit a match to set up a makeshift stove. Then, he

brought a large iron pot and filled it with water before tossing the sweet potatoes into the fire.

"This way, we can boil water and enjoy delicious sweet potatoes," Albert explained to Cecilia. "They taste even

better when roasted."

Since leaving the Fulcher family, Albert had been living alone in the countryside. Now that he had the opportunity to

entertain important guests, he was delighted.

It helped distract him from his concerns about Noel.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead. "Sir..."

Albert was busy roasting sweet potatoes, and Cecilia wanted to try them. With that, they couldn't leave yet.

Julian was growing impatient, and he furrowed his brows in frustration.

Despite Albert's hunched posture, Julian couldn't help but recall his two lost children and Diana's sadness whenever

he saw Albert. He couldn't sit here peacefully with Albert and wait for sweet potatoes to roast. He also didn't want

to follow Cecilia's suggestion to stay here.

Cecilia was unaware of Julian's thoughts. She couldn't understand how she had fallen for a man who showed such

little respect for the elderly.

"Albert, don't worry. He'll wait with me to roast the sweet potatoes. He'll also stay here with me and wait for Noel to

return," Cecilia reassured Albert.

Julian was, of course, against this plan.

However, Cecilia offered him an irresistible temptation.

"If you agree..." She pulled him into the yard, but her gaze remained fixed on Albert. She didn't stop smiling at the

older man.

"Julian," Cecilia said disdainfully. "Can you stop making such an unpleasant face?"

No matter how good her mood was, he ruined it with his disagreeable attitude.

Since Cecilia had admitted to Julian that she liked Noel, she found Julian increasingly distasteful.

"If you agree to stay here, I'll take the initiative to inform my mother and have her cancel our engagement."

"And there won't be any other conditions?"

"None." Cecilia shook her head. "Anyway, Noel will definitely come back to find Albert."

When she saw Noel again, she would tell him about her feelings. Hopefully, he wouldn't go abroad.

But a whole day had passed, and Noel was still missing. Cecilia's anxiety grew stronger. Julian was also getting

worried.

"I'll go back to the manor. Maybe Noel has returned there," he said.

As soon as he returned to the Fulcher Manor, a servant informed him about Layla's request to contact him.
