The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 45

Luna had officially become his mother, but it seemed he wanted more – a closer bond with Luna.

And what was that to me?

I looked at him with distaste. "Why are you telling me this? Do I know you?"

Nigel stood there, stunned as if my words had hit him hard.

I frowned, making no effort to hide my annoyance. "Whatever you want to do to build a relationship with your mom, just go ahead. That's your business, not mine. Please, stop coming over to tell me about it over and over again. I don't have the time to waste, got it?"

With that, I walked past him, but after a few steps, I turned to address the staff, "I hope you will keep a better watch on your students in the future. Don’t let them bother strangers."

After spending some time together, I had a pretty good read on him. Settling into a comfortable position, I leaned back.

"I just think you're doing great," Reuben said, his voice neutral, eyes back on the road. "Making a choice and sticking to it."

I chuckled lightly.

"Got any plans for what's next?" Reuben asked.

I shook my head. "Not yet."

At the same time, I mulled over a few things...

If I were to start a business, would I want to open shops like these?

The conclusion was a no.

First off, running a store required long hours, which would clash with my time with Joyce.

And secondly, compared to jobs that required interacting with a lot of people, I realized I’d rather find something I could do from home.

My pace slowed. Even though I hadn't finished exploring, I was starting to get a clear picture of what I didn't want to do.

As for what I was truly interested in...
