Chapter 49
Nick Arthur’s sudden departure surprised Mr. and Mrs. Arthur. It also made Jeremy Arthur think that Nick Arthur was even more arrogant.
“What does that mean? My brother is getting married today. Why is he acting like this? Who does he think he’s trying to impress?” Jeremy Arthur spoke angrily. She truly couldn’t tolerate Nick Arthur’s behavior.
“What are you talking about? Maybe your uncle has some matter to attend to!” Lady Arthur frowned and said unhappily upon hearing Jeremy Arthur say that.
Even Mr. Arthur and Oliver Arthur agreed with them, making it seem like Jeremy Arthur had no point at all.
This made Jeremy Arthur even angrier. Eventually, under Katie Adams’s persuasion, he managed to hide his displeasure.
Meanwhile, Nick Arthur, who had left the wedding venue, was now dining at a quiet restaurant with Simone Milton and Martha.
In this elegant restaurant, the air was filled with the fragrance of jasmine. The violinist, dressed in a black suit, began to play a cheerful melody after receiving the guests’ requests.
Sitting in her seat, Simone Milton glanced at Nick Arthur with concern. “Will it be okay to just leave like this? After all, this is Alberta Arthur’s wedding. It doesn’t seem right to ignore her like that.”
Thoughtfully, Nick Arthur tied a napkin around Martha’s neck. With calmness, he glanced at Simone Milton and said, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen. I think it won’t be long before he comes to us on his knees.”
“Huh?” Simone Milton couldn’t quite understand what Nick Arthur meant when he said that.
She really couldn’t figure out what else Alberta Arthur might possibly need from them. Unless it was something related to Katie Adams.
As if he could read Simone Milton’s thoughts, Nick Arthur nodded slightly and said, “It’s exactly what you’re thinking. I guess it won’t be long before Alberta Arthur comes to plead for Katie Adams.”
“But…” Hearing this, Simone Milton still found it somewhat magical.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Katie Adams has now joined the big leagues. Logically speaking, things in the entertainment world shouldn’t be that important to her anymore.
Of course, she came to this conclusion based on the original story: after Katie Adams married Alberta Arthur, it made sense for her to withdraw from the entertainment world and become a proper wife of a wealthy man.
Even in a sequel years later, Katie Adams mentioned that entering the entertainment industry was the most regrettable decision she’d ever made, yet also the most fortunate one.
Simone Milton had no idea that Nick Arthur had completely shut down Katie Adams as a way of taking his anger out on her.
In the original story, the reason why Katie Adams left the entertainment industry so naturally was that she had achieved a status that most people could never attain.
But in reality, Katie Adams was blacklisted by Nick Arthur at that time. It goes without saying that Katie Adams wouldn’t just give up so easily.
And Nick Arthur didn’t intend to tell Simone Milton all the details either. He simply told her to wait and see what would happen.
In response, Simone Milton could only shrug her shoulders and act like she didn’t understand anything at all, simply ignoring the matter.
As for why, perhaps she felt that, whether this scene happened or not, it wasn’t that important to her after all.
Getting involved with the male and female protagonists too much isn’t beneficial at all. In fact, it might even lead to problems due to the butterfly effect.
Although Simone Milton isn’t worried about the potential butterfly effect this might cause.
But she feels that she’s making progress and striving forward in her field right now.
And to have a precious daughter and a boyfriend who makes me very happy by my side is already wonderful enough.
Isn’t this a wonderful life? Why must one be around the male and female protagonists anyway?
She’s not the protagonist after all. How could she always find herself in troublesome situations and somehow resolve them effortlessly?
In short, with these thoughts in mind, she has so far simply ignored what Nick Arthur said, treating it as mere nonsense that didn’t deserve any attention.
However, just a few days later, Alberta Arthur suddenly came by, wanting to discuss something with Simone Milton.
At this moment, Simone Milton, who had been suddenly visited, was somewhat bewildered.
“What do you want from me?” Simone Milton frowned, staring intently at Alberta Arthur.
And Alberta Arthur, who was sitting next to her, also had a less than pleasant expression on her face.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke slowly and revealed his true intentions.
“Actually, I’ve come here to ask for your help with something… There’s no one else who can help me with this matter. So, I hope you won’t refuse me.” Alberta Arthur said this, her gaze shifting slightly.
It seems that he doesn’t know whether he should tell Simone Milton everything that’s on his mind.
He didn’t even know whether his efforts to find Simone Milton were actually worthwhile at all.
But he still came.
“Only I can help you. What you’re saying sounds absurd. If I really had such great abilities, I wouldn’t still be just a little actor today.” Hearing this, Simone Milton couldn’t help but laugh.
It wasn’t just what she said; she truly believed that Alberta Arthur might be overestimating her.
She isn’t as great as Alberta Arthur thinks she is.
“No, you don’t need to say that. In fact, apart from you, really no one else can help me anymore!” Alberta Arthur sighed.
He covered his cheeks with his hands, feeling ashamed. He didn’t dare to look at Simone Milton’s expression at that moment.
He took a deep breath, mustering the courage to say, “I hope you can help me tell my uncle to lift the ban on Katie Adams… After all, Katie Adams is now part of our family. Continuing to ban her isn’t a proper solution.”
“Why do you think what I say would be useful?” Upon hearing this, Simone Milton finally understood why Alberta Arthur had come to her.
What she didn’t understand was: what kind of confidence did Alberta Arthur have that, after she told Nick Arthur her opinion, he would definitely act on it?
The person who made this decision was Nick Arthur; she had nothing to do with it at all.
After all, Alberta Arthur should go to Nick Arthur himself, not to her!
“No, no one other than you can persuade my uncle. There’s no doubt about that. So, you needn’t belittle yourself…” Alberta Arthur shook her head.
His brows were tightly furrowed, but his gaze was fixed intently on Simone Milton.
Even more, he wanted to rush straight to Simone Milton’s side. When he touched her, he wanted Simone Milton to feel his sincerity.
“No need. Instead of going to Simone, you might as well come to me directly. She won’t agree to anything you ask.” Nick Arthur, who had appeared there somehow, suddenly spoke up.
Nick Arthur’s sudden outburst startled Simone Milton completely, leaving her shocked.
She kept patting her heart, which was pounding wildly. She turned her head away, clearly displeased.
