Chapter 929 Reunion
Chapter 929 Reunion
Joaquin warmly shook hands with Kingsley and said, "It's been quite a while since the two of you last visited!"
Kingsley also displayed a hint of nostalgia on his face as he responded, "Yes, it's been over a decade. I didn't expect you to remember us."
"How could I ever forget you?!" Joaquin replied kindly, "This girl has always been a beauty since she was young. No one could possibly forget her after one look!"
Then, he smiled and carefully observed Kingsley, feeling emotional, "Still, you were such a mischievous little kid back then. I never anticipated you would grow up to be so successful! You've truly become a mature man now!"
Yulia appeared puzzled as she listened to the conversation between Joaquin and Kingsley.
It seemed as though something was just within her grasp. Yet, for the life of her, she couldn't figure it out.
The truth appeared to be just within her reach. Alas, it was so elusive, akin to a slippery eel!
"Mr. Mccarty, what are you talking about?" Yulia asked, her big eyes filled with confusion.
When Joaquin saw the confusion on her face, he couldn't help but remind her in a doting tone, "What? You don't remember me? Didn't you and your brother love eating the Spaghetti Bolognese I used to make back then?"
"We..." Yulia blinked her eyes twice and shook her head. "Mr. Mccarty, you've been mistaken. It was Kingsley who ate the noodles with me, not him! He is Nichol..."
Just as she was about to complete her sentence, her voice suddenly trailed off!
Huh?! Isn't Kingsley's last name Nicholson?! Could it be...
Yulia abruptly turned her head, staring intently at Kingsley's face as if trying to see through him!
Kingsley grinned and confirmed her suspicions. "Yulia."
"You… You are Kingsley?!" She covered her mouth, her eyes quickly welling up with tears. "You really are Kingsley?!"
He nodded. "Yes, Yulia. I recognized you when we were at Summers Residence last time."

The heart-warming scene that Kingsley had anticipated did not unfold.
Instead, he received a forceful slap on his chest!
Yulia had tears streaming down her face as she angrily exclaimed, "You already recognized me! Why didn't you tell me?! Y-You deliberately lied to me!"
After that, she suddenly threw herself into Kingsley's arms, burying her face in his chest as she sobbed softly.
Kingsley felt rather awkward as he stole a glance at Joaquin before gently stroking Yulia's long hair, smiling, "Yulia, you know the situation at Summers Residence back then. It wasn't the right time for us to have a reunion. So, I planned to surprise you at night. Unfortunately, I was taken to Seavale by Gavin. Later, you invited me to dinner. That went up in a puff of smoke because Caleb drugged you and took you away. After I rescued you, I had Reene send you home."
He paused momentarily before he said, "I wanted to seek revenge, but Reene was worried that you would be concerned about me. So, she didn't inform you about it. Later, Reene's company
encountered numerous issues. She was so swamped with work that she ended up forgetting about this entirely."
When Yulia heard his explanation, she finally decided to emerge from his embrace, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at him. "So, you were the one who saved me when Caleb wanted to take advantage of me? So... you've already saved me four times!"
She pouted and continued, "Then, what about afterward? Why didn't you come find me and reveal your identity?"
"Well... I was so overwhelmed with work that I couldn't spare the time." Kingsley chuckled, "Besides, I wanted to surprise you. If I simply sent you a message revealing my identity, wouldn't I miss out on witnessing your shocked expression earlier?"
Yulia playfully punched his chest and reprimanded, "You! You're just as mischievous as you were back then! You have always liked pranking me!"
She wiped away her tears and turned to look at Joaquin, feeling a bit embarrassed after her outburst earlier as she said, "Now, you've caused me to look like a clown in front of Mr. Mccarty."
"Hahaha. Oh, how could I possibly find this funny?" Joaquin laughed good-naturedly. "It seems like you two siblings have just reunited. It's my honor to witness such a precious moment! Although I have to say, the two of you are more like a couple than a pair of siblings!"
Yulia flushed crimson as she sneaked a peek at Kingsley's handsome visage upon hearing Joaquin's ribbing.
