Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 583

In the reception room.

Madam Lilian, dressed in formal clothes, was sitting on a rattan chair, reading a newspaper.

"Madam, Mr. Xanthe is here," Quina informed her in a low voice.

Madam Lilian raised her head.

"Hello, Madam." Yadriel immediately took a step forward, walked up to her, took a bow, and greeted her with utmost decorum.

"Hello, Mr. Xanthe." Madam Lilian smiled and gestured her hand towards the reception chair next to her. "Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Madam," Yadriel spoke as he bent down and bowed. He sat down carefully on one side, all smiles on his face.

"Mr. Xanthe, you're really well-informed. You even caught the wind that I'm in A City." Madam Lilian elegantly set down the newspaper, half-teasing, and half-jokingly commented.

Yadriel's face instantly tingled as he was caught off guard.

However, there was no discomfort in his astute eyes. On the contrary, he was more respectful, with a bright smile on his face.

"Madam, you are a respectable woman. I have always admired you. Therefore, I always pay more attention to your movements," Yadriel replied with great respect.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lilian smiled and continued, "Thank you for your compliment. I really don't deserve it. May I know the purpose behind your visit, Mr. Xanthe?"

"You're too humble!" Yadriel's face was full of flattering smiles as he politely uttered. Then, he questioned with curiosity, "Madam, do you still remember me?"

"You?" Madam Lilian was surprised when she heard this. She could not help but to raise her head and sized up YadrieL She had seen this person on television once or twice. As for knowing him, Madam Lilian really did not have this memory in the recesses of her mind. So, she just shook her head at the moment.

Yadriel had long known that Madam Lilian would not remember him, but if he did mention it, she might still be able to recall it slightly. After all, for her and Flavian, the meaning of that day was all too profound.

He slowly took out a pouch from his chest pocket. The rose-colored bag was a little old-fashioned, but it was very delicate. Madam Lilian looked at it and felt it was familiar. She stared at the pouch for a moment.

Then, Yadriel slowly and carefully untied the pouch. A century-old, classic, women's watch was presented in front of Madam Lilian.

She looked at it carefully, and her heart began to tremble.

"Why do you have this thing?" Madam Lilian's expression changed as she asked in a hoarse voice.

Yadriel was in no rush. He chuckled, and his attitude was amiable.

"Madam, I was the one who sent you and Mr. Moore away when the both of you left the Moore family that year." Yadriel's words were extremely tactful. He did not say anything like 'driven away', nor did he say that he was chasing them away. Instead, he used the words 'sent away', and his attitude was even more easy-going.

Madam Lilian's expression changed, and she looked up again at the man in front of her.

This man should be a little younger than her. He should be in his 60s, which happened to be the age of most high-ranking officials. After taking a closer look at Yadriel's face, Madam Lilian felt that he was indeed slightly familiar.

"So, it was you that day?" Madam Lilian asked in shock.

She remembered that when the Moore family had chased them out, Flavian had been beaten, and it was inconvenient for him to walk. Even Johan's servants had chased them out. However, that person did not deliberately make things difficult for them. He had even brought them many good things from home, including the fine bone china teapot that Flavian loved.

It turned out that Yadriel used to be Johan's subordinate. On second thought, her face softened a lot, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"That was indeed me." Yadriel observed her facial expressions and soon noticed the change on Madam Lilian's face. He immediately admitted it. After putting the watch into the pouch, he handed it to Lilian with both hands and explained respectfully, "Madam, this is taken from the Young Master's room that day. As I left in a hurry, I didn't notice this. When I handed it to Johan later, he didn't even look at it and just asked me to throw it away. I thought it's a pity to throw such a delicate watch away. I planned to give it back to you when I have a chance. So, I kept it. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to return it to you personally today. I'm glad that I could finally return it to its faithful owner."

Yadriel's tone was emotional and moving.

The expression on Madam Lilian's face gradually eased. Even her voice grew kinder. She reached out her hand, nodded, and thanked him. "Thank you, you are really thoughtful."

"It's what I should do. It's what I should do." Yadriel noticed Madam Lilian's change and was pleased in his heart. So, he responded modestly and politely.

Madam Lilian accepted the watch and flipped through it. This was the love token Flavian had given her years ago. Back then, she thought that she had lost it, but who would have thought that someone would have kept it?

Now that Madam Lilian was cradling it in her hands, and at the thought of Sara, her heart felt empty and extremely uncomfortable.

"Madam, do you have any issues weighing on your mind?" Yadriel saw the loneliness in Madam Lilian's eyes and was aware of her heavy heart. He could not help but to ask with concern.

"To be honest, I came to A City to look for my daughter. It's been so many years, but I still haven't heard anything from her." Madam Lilian sighed. Her heart was heavy as she admitted with some disappointment.

"Oh." Yadriel nodded as if he was startled and continued, "Yes, Madam, it has been so many years. It's indeed a little difficult to find the person now. However, Madam, don't worry. I am very familiar with A City, and I have connections with some people. How about this? I can help you inquire about it. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."

He spoke very sincerely and enthusiastically. Madam Lilian didn't want to reject his offer. So, she had to nod with a smile and mumbled, "Thank you."
