Chapter 1258
Upon entering the gate, one could smell the faint scent of plants. All sorts of unique ferns and plants,
from the gate to the residence, made it difficult to travel by car. The plants dotted a gravel path, so the
maids would need to walk quite a distance whenever they were going out to purchase anything, as
there was only a parking space for cars near the main gate.
Only a few would visit Dominic here most of the time. Initially, many would come over and seek
Dominic's medical advice, but he refused to meet any of them.
After getting rejected several times, they started to understand that Dominic would not meet them. He
was an older gentleman with a strange attitude. Besides his students, it was also difficult for his family
members to meet him. As time passed, fewer people would visit, leaving the villa's surroundings quiet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Dominic loved the quiet atmosphere, he stayed home most days. Hence, this place appeared more
deserted by the day.
However, two cars were parked in front of his gate today, a rare sight. Austin slowly stopped his car
and stared at the red coupe before the gate for a few seconds in a daze.
In recent years, there were only a few people who came here. The few times Austin visited the place,
he did not meet anyone, so who came today?
It was not an unusual thing to see another car here, either. After all, some would still be unwilling to
give up on getting medical advice or learning a thing or two about medicinal herbs from Dominic.
However, Dominic would not meet anyone due to his strange behavior, so if Austin saw a car here, he
should have seen its owner as well, but the situation now was that the red car was in front of the gate
while its owner was nowhere in sight.
When Austin thought of it, he figured the guest wanted to visit Dominic but was sure the guest would
fail.
The thought of the older gentleman's haughty and lofty appearance made Austin smirk. He was used to
it anyway. After Austin parked his car, he got out and headed to the gate. A maid came up to him,
saying, "Mr. Austin, you can't enter now.”
“Why?" Austin frowned. He was surprised to hear that. He knew Dominic preferred solidarity and
disliked engaging in social interactions with others, so Austin would only visit him a few times a year.
Although Dominic had rejected Austin before, it was rare for that to happen, and Dominic always had a
reason for it.
It had been close to half a year since Austin last visited, and he was confident Dominic would meet him
because he had something important to discuss with the older gentleman. That was why he specially
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtraveled here. Hence, Austin felt slightly dissatisfied when the maid stopped him at the door. “I’m not
here for a casual visit today, but I have something important to tell him!" Austin walked in as he spoke.
However, the maid followed suit and stopped him once again. "Mr. Austin, you know the rules. If you
insist on barging in, then in the future..."
Austin's expression had already turned dark before the maid could finish. He knew the rules, after all.
He could only enter the place with Dominic’s permission. If Dominic had already made it clear that he
could not enter, but he insisted on doing so, he could forget about coming over again next time.
Moreover, Dominic would stop acknowledging Austin as his relative as well. Although Austin was
frustrated, he dared not take another step forward. Hence, he gritted his teeth and walked the route he
came in on.
"Fine, I'll wait here. Inform Granduncle Dominic that I'm here and will only enter once I have his
permission! Just tell him I have something important to discuss and need his advice!"
