He was like a robot always on standby, ready in his best condition to double down and work.
Yet, this time, he looked so distracted.
Sometimes, even when there was a commotion outside, Noel would continue standing rooted to the spot in a daze,
as if he didn’t hear anything at all.
Seeing him so unlike himself, Diana sighed. She decided to let Julian talk to Noel.
Julian’s words carried more weight to Noel. Noel might heed his counsel, and give himself and Cecilia another
chance.
Julian disagreed, however. Diana out, he analyzed the situation for her. “He wouldn’t listen to me. You don’t
understand. Firstly, his pride has suffered a beating. Secondly, he felt like he was let down for trusting her.”
The problem between him and Cecilia wasn’t going to be easily resolved.
“Noel’s probably going to feel down for a period. The Jarvises clearly have a hand in this, in an attempt to stop
them from being together.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNew problems would arise even after resolving this misunderstanding. Whatever it was, the Jarvises would never let
Noel be with Cecilia.
“Oh, right,” Diana said.
At the mention of the Jarvises, something clicked in her mind. She suddenly recalled what Cecilia said during their
meal.
“It’s not just Noel. Right now, the Jarvises don’t even want you and I to be in contact with Cecilia.”
She was able to invite Cecilia out because of Fanny.
Julian knew about it, but didn’t expect that Cecilia’s refusal to see Diana was caused by the Jarvises.
“She said that our meetings in the future will have to be in secret, so that her mom doesn’t find out.” Diana found it
strange. “Cecilia’s already a grown-up, but her family watches her so closely. Wouldn’t there be problems in the
future?”
“This isn’t the problem. The problem is that the Jarvises don’t want Cecilia in contact with anyone from our family. I
suspect that aside from looking down on Noel and his family background, they’re still bothered by me calling off the
engagement with Cecilia.
“For all we know, they think that I’m urging Noel and Cecilia to get together. Ever since then, they’ve hated us so
intensely they don’t want us in contact with Cecilia,” Julian said.
Given the grudge between them and the Jarvises, it made sense to Julian and Diana that the Jarvises refused to let
Cecilia contact the Fulchers.
They didn’t think any further.
That night, although both of them were concerned about Noel and were busy thinking of solutions for him, their
hearts didn’t feel so heavy.
They continued doing everything they often did in an orderly manner: rubbing stretch marks oil, washing and drying
her hair, talking gently to the babies in Diana’s womb, and so on.
It was a quiet night.
After figuring out a way to help Noel, they fell into a peaceful slumber.
At the same time, Sean, who was all the way at the training camp, couldn’t seem to fall asleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was terrified.
It wasn’t because he was being bullied. Although he didn’t really get along with his dorm mates, none of them
actually physically attacked him.
Yet, at the same time… No one talked to him, either. He was isolated from everyone in the dorm.
Sean didn’t feel good about it.
Especially after he utterly exposed the “chief” of the dorm…
It made things even worse for him.
He couldn’t sleep well or eat well, and he was losing weight rapidly. He looked so small amidst a crowd.
When they were training, no one saw him as a worthy opponent.
But if Sean went on without an opponent, it would be pointless for him to be in the training camp. Instead of
becoming stronger, he would become even more vulnerable.
He needed to turn the tables.
He needed to prove himself, and show everyone that he was a worthy opponent despite his tender age.
The archery competition tomorrow in the training squad was his chance.
