Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 345 - 189: They’re Really Together Now (Second Update, Gabriella the Alliance Hierarch +)

Lawrence Winters was originally worried about the "wild girl," but unexpectedly, the "battle" somehow reached him.Nick Zeller was there adding fuel to the fire, eager for chaos.

"Uncle! If you say that again, I’m going to get angry!" Lawrence Winters gave Nick Zeller the "strongest warning."

She looked at Nick Zeller warily, "You said it, words can’t be spoken recklessly!"

Nick Zeller was taken aback, and awkwardly said, "...I was just kidding? Can’t even make a joke?"

Gabrielle Winters noticed that Lawrence seemed genuinely angry, and with Kenneth Osborne standing nearby, Nick Zeller’s words were indeed a bit hurtful. She quickly tried to smooth things over, "Brother, you’re always so casual with your words. You raised Lawrence yourself, why say such things?"

Nick Zeller blushed slightly and muttered, "...Does she even remember I’m her uncle? Now that she’s grown up and independent, can’t wait to fly away?"

Lawrence Winters finally understood why Nick Zeller had been sounding so sarcastic lately.

Turns out, he was worried that they weren’t close anymore...

Gabrielle Winters was right; since Lawrence was six years old, she had essentially grown up with Nick Zeller.

Nick Zeller, a big man with no experience in raising children, managed to take care of her so well.

Thinking of the days spent with Nick Zeller in feng shui analysis, all of Lawrence’s discontent vanished. She walked over, hugged Nick’s arm, and playfully said, "Uncle, how could I not remember you? Don’t forget, I’m supposed to come back and inherit the family business! Be sure to run the Celestial Master office well!"

Nick Zeller was elated and quickly asked, "Really? You truly want to come back and help me?"

"Of course, but not to help you. The Celestial Master office will be mine in the future; I’m working for myself." Lawrence lifted her chin proudly.

However, she felt a bit dizzy, closed her eyes, and the color drained from her face, which everyone noticed.

Nick Zeller quickly helped her sit down, "Alright, don’t say anymore. I was just messing with you, don’t take it to heart."

He then turned to Kenneth Osborne, "Don’t mind me, Kenneth, I was just talking for fun..."

"It’s alright," Kenneth Osborne sat down next to Lawrence and said humorously, "I didn’t hear a thing just now."

"Great! I knew Kenneth had a big heart and is someone who does great things!" The old Daoist walked over from the living room and sat next to Lawrence, praising Kenneth with a smile.

Nick Zeller raised his eyebrows but didn’t continue the topic. Instead, he helped Gabrielle Winters bring the dishes from the kitchen to the dining table.

On the dining table, there were six dishes, a soup, and various staples like rice, noodles, and fine porridge.

Lawrence Winters drank some soup first, then had some porridge, and after eating a bit of steamed pork with rice flour, she was already full.

No one else urged her; she was at home, and if she got hungry, they could always cook for her.

Kenneth Osborne quickly finished his meal and then helped Lawrence back to her bedroom.

Watching their figures disappear around the corridor, Nick Zeller finally said, "Kenneth is really good to our Lawrence."

Gabrielle Winters smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I can finally rest assured, not having to worry about Lawrence encountering ’bad’ men and ended up with the wrong person."

The old Daoist chuckled and said, "Kenneth is indeed good, almost missed a good catch."

Nick Zeller felt somewhat puzzled, like having an itch he couldn’t scratch.

Finally, when Gabrielle Winters went to the kitchen to clean up, he escorted the old Daoist back to his room, specifically closed the door, and curiously asked, "Master, what are you up to again?"

"I’m not up to anything? I can’t even catch ghosts," the old Daoist widened his eyes, feigning puzzlement, "Although I come from the Celestial Master Sect, our sect only deals with the living and feng shui; we don’t deal with the dead or catch ghosts."

Nick Zeller: "..."

"Quit dodging the question," he said impatiently, "You know what I mean."

"I don’t know," the old Daoist responded righteously, "If you don’t tell me, how would I know? It’s impossible for me to know without you saying it, and if you say it, I still wouldn’t know..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Nick Zeller hurriedly stopped the old Daoist from rambling, "I’m talking about Kenneth; weren’t you against him being with Lawrence? The other day when I told you his birthdate, you weren’t very satisfied. What made you change your mind today?"

The old Daoist chuckled lightly and made a serene gesture, "Heavenly secrets are not to be divulged."

Nick Zeller looked at him for a while, pulled out his phone, opened the WeChat transfer page, "So, how much is this heavenly secret worth?"
