Chapter 1645: No More Shenanigans

Justin was taken aback, having just entered the room, he didn't knowwhat they were talking about. He glanced at Joyce with a puzzled look.Joyce smiled lightly. “It's nothing. Don't mind it. Juanita insisted onplaying a game, but it's over now. Did you have dinner since youarrived so late?"

Justin replied, "I can't eat outside food yet. The hospital providesspecialized nutrition meals, so I've already eaten.”

Luther looked at Justin, his expression thoughtful, with anindeterminate meaning.

Justin treated their previous encounter as if it hadn't happened at all.He smiled and called out, "Mr. Warner."

Luther, as the host, said, "Mr. Henderson, please have a seat. Let meintroduce everyone. This is Justin, the president of the Hendersonfamily bank."

Juanita stared at Justin intently, looking him up and down.

Justin stayed in the hospital for a while and appeared thinner, givinghim a more gentle and refined appearance.

Juanita couldn't help but compliment, “Wow, what a dashing youngman, with a hint of illness, making him even more attractive. Too badyou came late. It seems like all the girls are into your type.”

Justin didn't know what they were talking about, and his charming facelooked slightly embarrassed.

"Hehe, don't mind. They were just joking. Among you all, who is themost handsome," Joyce waved her hand. "Juanita, you've had enoughfun. You can tone it down now. Look at Nina, she's almostoverwhelmed by you. If you continue, Chris will get angry.”

Justin burst into laughter. So, he was chosen as soon as he entered theroom?

Nina secretly glanced at Chris, afraid that he would actually get angry.She took the initiative to place her little hand on Chris's leg, showingher absolute affection for him.

Chris glanced at her.

"Do you like gentle men?"

“No, no, no," Nina hurriedly shook her head vigorously, as if denying it.Juanita teased, "Oh, Chris is jealous.”

Nina lowered her head, feeling a bit at a loss.

Chris reached over and pinched Nina's cheek. "I'm just teasing you."Then he looked up, staring at Juanita seriously. "Don't corrupt her whileI'm not around."

Before Juanita could respond, Karl took over the conversation. "Restassured, I will take care of her. You don't need to worry about thosethings happening.”

"Hey, what's wrong with me? I'm just joking around," Juanita pouted."You're looking for trouble,” Karl poked her temple. "That's enough. Nomore shenanigans tonight."

Juanita stuck her tongue out at Karl.

Justin finally understood what they were talking about. He smiled. "So,this must be Chris? I've heard about you."

Chris examined Justin, “I know you too. Your family's bank is also inAlvonia. The Henderson family's financial network is spread all over theworld."

"What are your plans next?" Karl asked. He gestured towards Luther."Mr. Warner and Joyce will return to Khebury the day after tomorrow.What about you, Mr. Henderson? The headquarters of the Hendersonfamily bank is also in Khebury. Will you go back?"

Justin shook his head. “I won't go back. I'm in the process of relocatingthe headquarters to Mufron. I'm handling it already. I'll complete thedischarge procedures tomorrow and head to Mufron the day aftertomorrow. I came here today to bid you all farewell."

He picked up the red wine in front of him.

“I can't drink, so I'll have one less glass to express my gratitude.” Heraised his glass to Luther, Joyce, and Chris. "Consider this mygratitude.”

He drank it all in one go.

"The day after tomorrow?" Joyce looked slightly surprised. “I might notbe able to see you off. We will also leave the day after tomorrow."Justin smiled. "You don't need to see me off. Tonight will be ourfarewell.” His gaze fell on Joyce. Although he felt reluctant, he wasmore resigned.

He had received Joyce's invitation to dinner, but he hesitated andhadn't come until just now. He decided to come before leaving. Hewanted to see her one last time, even though he knew it would onlymake him feel more heartbroken.

Joyce furrowed her brows slightly. Why did Justin want to develop inMufron? He had already made the Henderson family bank large andstrong. Suddenly leaving, she couldn't understand it.

However, it was his decision, and she would respect his choice.

Justin looked at Luther seriously. "Take good care of her."

There was more to his words, and his gaze carried a touch ofmelancholy. Regardless of the difficulties Luther faced, he hopedthatLuther would be able to safely overcome them. Justin's greatest wishwas for Joyce to be happy.

Luther narrowed his eyes.

Justin knew his situation, took a deep breath, and didn't know what layahead, but even if it was difficult, he would resolve it. For Joyce, fortheir children.

Luther's lips curved slightly. "You don't need to worry, Mr. Henderson."Karl and Juanita both understood the significance of Justin and Joyce'spast relationship. Chris also realized it by now. There was definitelysomething extraordinary between Justin and Joyce.

The atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

At this moment, Nina suddenly stood up. “I'm sorry, I need to go to therestroom.”

She bowed slightly to everyone and left the table for a moment,pushing open the sliding door and returning to the private room.During the meal, the atmosphere had already recovered, and everyonewas chatting and laughing.

She quickly walked to Chris's side, but the tatami was a bit slippery.Suddenly, she slipped and fell forward.

Chris, with quick reflexes, caught her in his arms.

Nina felt embarrassed, curling up in Chris's embrace, her cheeksblushing. Being embraced like this in front of everyone made her feelself-conscious.

“I'm sorry, I lost control,” she kept apologizing.

She wanted to get up and return to her seat, but Chris had drunk acouple of glasses and was slightly tipsy. So, he held onto her and coldlycommanded, "Just sit like this, don't move."

He held Nina's slender waist with one arm.

In an instant, he drank a few more glasses of foreign liquor.

The intoxication increased a bit.

At that moment, a waiter brought in a fruit platter, a luxuriousassortment of high-end fruits from around the world.

Chris picked a grape and fed it to Nina.

Nina looked around and saw everyone watching. With Chris acting soambiguously, her face turned red as if blood was about to drip. She feltextremely embarrassed.

She pushed him lightly. “You're drunk, stop drinking."

"How can a few glasses make me drunk?" Chris played with her shorthair and fed her a few more grapes. He held her even tighter, almostwithout any gap between them.

Joyce coughed a couple of times, saying to Karl, "It's getting late. Let'scall it a night. Chris is leaving tomorrow. Otherwise, can you arrange forsomeone to take him back? Luther and I will take Juanita home first."Karl nodded. "I will personally take him back."

Chris waved his hand. "I'm not drunk."

After speaking, he supported his forehead and gradually couldn't holdon anymore, resting his head on the table.
