Chapter 350 The Bald Man
I drove here myself, but at this point, if I were to go back alone, I guess he wouldn’t feel at ease. So, I
simply nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, I looked at Daniel and said, “Happy Birthday. If you have no plans tomorrow, could you
follow mine?”
He gave a faint smile and nodded, “What arrangements?”
I raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, “Let’s talk tomorrow. I’m going home now. You should go to
bed early and not overthink. Remember, flowers and good-food can heal everything. After a full meal
and a good sleep, tomorrow will be a new day.”
He paused slightly, then nodded with a faint smile, “Okay.”
I knew I wasn’t good at comforting people. Although this might be a bit harsh, it was the truth after all. I
hoped he could take it in.
After saying goodbye, Sebastian and I left the villa’s hall together and went outside to the yard. There
was a black off-road vehicle parked outside, and a man in black with a buzz cut was standing outside
the yard.
It seemed he had been waiting outside. Seeing us come out, he greeted Sebastian, “Is Brother Yi done
with his work?”
Sebastian glanced back at me, looking somewhat displeased at the bald man, and said, “Go in.”
The man grunted, sidestepping us and went straight into the villa.
This man had a strong aura of hostility. When he brushed past me, I

subconsciously moved my body aside.
Sebastian looked back at me and smiled, “Ms. Conner, your car will be driven over to you by someone
tomorrow. I will take you home tonight.”
I nodded, accepting it.
On the car, curiosity filled my heart and I couldn’t help but ask Sebastian, “Does Mr. Monroe have
something to do at this hour?” It was clear that the person just now was going to see Daniel.
But at this point, how could Daniel have met with such a malicious person, and what could they have
discussed? Why did it have to be at dawn, and on a birthday no less.
Sebastian said in a soft voice, “He’s not here for business. He’s a friend of the gentleman from
Freyhedge, probably here to celebrate the gentleman’s birthday. He arrived too late, and the gentleman
didn’t want to refuse him, so he let him in.”
I frowned, who would come for a birthday at this late hour?
Moreover, when I came out just now, I noticed the appearance of that person. He seemed to have been
waiting outside all this time, as if he was waiting for Daniel to finish his work before calling him.
I was doubtful, but I also knew that everyone had their own way of handling things. I couldn’t guess
others’ thoughts based on my own. With this in mind, I simply stopped overthinking.
Having been fussing until now, I was genuinely tired. After emptying my mind, my head gradually
became groggy. I was truly sleepy and kept dozing off all the way.
When they arrived at the bottom of the Conner’s place in a daze, it was still Sebastian who spoke, “Ms.
Conner, we’re here.”

Hearing his voice, I glanced at the familiar yard outside, nodded, opened the door, and got out of the
car.
“Ms. Conner.” Sebastian’s voice came from behind her after she had only taken a few steps.
I stopped in my tracks and looked back at him, “What’s wrong?”
Looking at me, his face serious and solemn, he said, “Thank you for tonight.”
I pursed my lips and smiled, “Thanks? You’re not implying that you’re touched because I ran to cook
noodles for Daniel in the middle of the night on his birthday, are you? Don’t be like that, I’m the type
who would ship any CP.”
He paused for a moment, momentarily struck dumb with laughter, and said, “I am very grateful to the
gentleman, he has helped me a lot.”
Understanding his meaning, I laughed and said, “Got it, you and Mr. Monroe are friends, and so am I. If
I didn’t know it was his birthday, it would be fine, but now that I know, it wouldn’t be appropriate if I did
nothing. Friends are supposed to support each other through tough times, right? Besides, if I’m feeling
down in the future, I might need you guys to be with me too, right?”
He grinned and said, “Right!” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
After waving goodbye to him, I went home. It was too late, I didn’t know if my mother and Alexander
had returned. I went back to my bedroom and fell asleep shortly after.
The next day, the snow had already stopped, but the thick layer of accumulated snow had not yet
melted.
Unlike when it was snowing, on days without snow, the temperature was particularly cold, and most of
the roads outside were icy.

I stood by the window for a while before going downstairs. There were bread and milk on the dining
table, obviously left by my mother. I had
a text message from her in my hand, saying she was going to the hospital to see Marjorie and asked
me to have some bread and milk for breakfast.
I wasn’t picky about food. After simply having some bread and milk, I left the house.
Surprisingly, Daniel was outside the yard of the Conner’s place, with Sebastian driving. Daniel, who
was in the back seat, was dressed more warmly today. Seeing me going out, Sebastian waved at me.
After being surprised for a few seconds, I walked over to the car with a smile, looking at the two people
inside and asked, “How did you get here so quickly?”
