Free Web NovelChapter 323: Chapter 322: One More Aunt
South Grant bid farewell to Chester Lynch and was about to get into the car when he spotted a familiar figure about 50 meters to the right of Marinus Shore, near The Argentum Club.
This figure was none other than Nathan Foster.
Unexpectedly, the party he was attending was at The Argentum Club, right next to Marinus Shore.
The moment South Grant saw Nathan Foster, his eyes brightened. He was just about to walk over to greet him when he saw a woman walking out behind Nathan. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The two seemed acquainted. The woman called out to him, and Nathan Foster turned around, but South didn’t know what she was saying to him.
Then the woman handed Nathan Foster a watch. South Grant’s eyesight was excellent; she saw it was Nathan Foster’s watch that he usually wore.
Why was Nathan Foster’s watch with her?
At that moment, she stood on her tiptoes and picked off a long strand of hair from Nathan Foster’s shoulder, then tossed it to the ground.
The woman’s face carried a consistent smile, and Nathan Foster’s expression was also gentle, unlike the cold demeanor he showed to subordinates.
After possibly saying thank you to her, Nathan Foster turned and got back into the car.
Witnessing this scene, South Grant was almost fuming with anger. Why was there hair on Nathan Foster’s shoulder, and such long hair at that!
South Grant then recalled Nathan Foster’s fondness for long hair; could he be seeing someone on the side?
Was it the woman just now?
Chester Lynch saw South Grant standing there and approached her, following her gaze to the scene across the way.
By now, Nathan Foster was already in his car and gone, and the girl was still at the entrance of The Argentum Club, distantly watching the direction Nathan had left in.
"Was that my uncle just now? Could I have been mistaken?" South Grant spoke hesitantly, wondering if she was seeing things. Maybe it was just someone who resembled Nathan Foster from the side.
"It was indeed Mr. Foster; even if you mistook the person, his car is unmistakable," Chester Lynch said.
Chester Lynch’s words made South Grant face reality. She knew she hadn’t been mistaken.
Asking that question was merely to console herself.
Earlier, she had silently wished for bad karma to befall those unfaithful, thinking that being by Nathan Foster’s side required singular dedication.
But now, seeing this scene, South Grant felt extremely upset, not just upset but almost explosive.
At this moment, Chester Lynch continued, "The woman speaking to your uncle earlier is from The Lockwood Family. My grandfather and I were hosted by The Lockwoods when we visited the south the year before last. Her name is Vivian Lockwood; she’s a Lieutenant at the military district hospital. I heard from my grandfather that the Lockwoods plan to settle permanently in Aethelgard this time and intend to find Vivian a husband."
Chester Lynch paused here and glanced at South Grant.
"Previously, when we were at The Lockwoods, the grandfather expressed great admiration for Mr. Foster, often praising him. It seems you might be gaining an aunt."
Gaining an aunt...
Chester Lynch didn’t know about the other level of relationship between South Grant and Nathan Foster, so he went on about The Lockwoods.
South Grant gritted her teeth, "That might not be certain. My uncle may not fancy her. Plenty have tried to win my uncle over before—school beauties, police beauties, nurse beauties. What makes her, a lieutenant, special!"
"This Vivian Lockwood is indeed different from those school beauties and others, not to mention her education and medical skills. Just two years ago, she participated in the 613 evacuation event right after graduation, performing surgery on wounded soldiers in war-like conditions, completing the surgery perfectly despite the harsh circumstances. She can be said to be a soldier when in uniform and a socialite when not. Do you think Mr. Foster wouldn’t be moved by such a woman?"
