Chapter 225 A Reluctant Homecoming
Christian shook his head from the side.
This kid really didn’t know what was good for him.
Finished
Tristan had spent eighteen years searching for his little sister. In that time, she had become his obsession.
In a way, his little sister was Tristan’s one untouchable line.
And Tristan’s untouchable line was Ronaldo’s.
Ronaldo’s was his.
And this punk had the guts to cross all their lines? He clearly wasn’t afraid of going back and getting at beating.
“You. Come here.”
Ronaldo’s command left no room for argument.
Halbert’s face darkened.
Ronaldo’s gaze turned cold, his voice dangerous. “Come over and apologize.”
Halbert clenched his fists.
Eliza, not one to hold back, added fuel to the fire. “If Halbert doesn’t want to, forget it. I hate forcing people. Worst case, I just won’t go back with you.”
She knew full well she was taking advantage of the situation while acting all innocent.
But so what?
Halbert looked down on her. If she didn’t make him show her some respect before going back with them, she’d just seem weak and pathetic.
As expected, after hearing what Eliza said-
–
Ronaldo ran out of patience. “Are you coming over, or should I go to you?”
Cornered, Halbert had no choice but to take a step forward.
“Ms. Eliza, I’m sorry.”
He continued stiffly, “I ask that you come with us overseas.”
Eliza narrowed her eyes in a smile. And what would I be going overseas for, Halbert? You need to be more specific.”
“…To acknowledge our family.”
Eliza said, “Say the whole thing/in one go.”
Halbert looked like he was about to grind his teeth into dust. “Ms. Eliza, I’m sorry! I ask that you come with us overseas to acknowledge our family!”

Only then did Eliza nod. “Since Halbert’s begging me so nicely, I’ll go with you. But I’m just going to take a look. Doesn’t mean I’m accepting the Sue family.”
Seeing her agree, Ronaldo’s eyes lit up with barely concealed joy. “As long as you’re willing to come back with us, everything else can be worked out.”
Halbert hadn’t seen Ronaldo this happy in ages. Swallowing his frustration, he turned and left the classroom.
Christian stepped forward and said, “Your ticket’s already booked. If you have anything you want to bring, just let Christian know and I’ll get it for you.”
“Tomorrow then. I’ve still got some things to take care of tonight.”
She hadn’t told Nolan yet about going overseas.
Since he was her boyfriend, he deserved to know.
Ronaldo said dotingly, “Don’t worry about school. I’ve already arranged your break.”
Eliza wasn’t used to this sudden affection. She’d never had family who cared.
That evening-
She spotted Nolan’s car waiting at the gates of Claire University.
He must’ve been there a while. Eliza got into the passenger seat. “If you keep skipping school like this, they’ll kick you out.”
“They can’t kick me out.”
“Oh? That confident?”
“Very.”
Nolan handed her her favorite milk tea.
Eliza stared at the cup, suddenly hesitating.
“What’s wrong?”
Nolan always caught her shifts in mood instantly.
She hesitated, then said, “I… I’m going overseas tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Hearing only that one word, Eliza looked up in surprise. “You’re not mad?”
They had just started dating, and now she was agreeing to leave the country.
Anyone else would’ve been upser.
“If you’ve already made up your mind, then I’ll support you.”
Nolan added, “I’m not the kind of boyfriend who’s unreasonable.”

Eliza looked a little embarrassed. “I thought you’d try to stop me.”
In her previous life, after marrying Zayden, she’d been trapped at home.

Finished
Any time she asked to go out, Zayden would shut her down, claiming she didn’t know how to handle. herself.
Eventually, she’d stopped asking altogether.
“I’ve already packed everything you’ll need. It’s windy overseas, and the nights get cold. I packed some warm clothes for you.”
While driving, Nolan listed off everything she should be mindful of abroad.
Eliza blinked in surprise. “You knew I was going overseas?”
“Yeah.”
Nolan said, “I figured you’d want to go see for yourself.”
No one could resist the pull of their origins.
So he’d already prepared all the clothes and essentials she’d need.
Eliza said earnestly, “I promise I’ll come back as soon as I can.”
Seeing that she cared about how he felt, Nolan smiled. “Mm.”
The next morning-
Eliza headed for the airport. The Sue family people were already there.
Inside the terminal, only Ronaldo and Christian were waiting, along with a few bodyguards handling their luggage.
