My Reborn Admirer Wins Over My Heart Chapter 44 Oriana's Whereabouts 998 Finished " Mr. Holloway , you're Oriana's guardian . You should respect her , not make every decision for her . " Kirk let out a sigh , his voice heavy with meaning . " Oriana might look gentle and easygoing , but she has a quiet strength and self - control . If you would sit down with her calmly , talk to her honestly , maybe she wouldn't have felt the need to hide things from you and leave for Jindiwood on her own . " Grant's chest tightened . His lips parted , but not a single word came out . His face sank , darker and darker . Kirk's words cut through him like invisible blades - each slice stripping away his cold pride until all that was left was shame and a raw , stinging wound . He had been so certain Oriana would never turn her back on him , so convinced she wouldn't dare hold him accountable . He'd been lying to himself , clutching that false confidence - yet when the moment came , she slipped quietly out of his world , alone . All this time , he had buried himself in work , blind to her shifting moods . Worse , he had noticed little details here and there but brushed them aside , telling himself he'd make it up to her once he was less busy . But now he remembered that morning of the signing ceremony . He had overheard her on the phone . She hadn't been preparing a surprise for him at all . She had already planned to leave that day . And he he had practically shoved her out with his own hands . Grant's chest felt as if a giant fist were crushing it , squeezing so hard he could barely breathe . " Grant- " Suddenly , Alaric , who was holding Oriana's application form , began trembling uncontrollably . Grant instantly sensed something was wrong . He snatched the papers out of Alaric's hands . His eyes flew down the page , scanning in frantic bursts , until they froze on two words that seared into his skull , turning his vision dark and twisted- She was married ! Alaric's mind spun , landing on an absurd , almost impossible thought . " Grant , Oriana couldn't possibly be- " 1/3 8:32 Fri , Oct 10 Chapter 44 Oriana's Whereabouts " No ! " 99 Finished . Grant's eyes burned red , veins bulging across the back of his hand . He snarled the word , his voice raw , before storming out without looking back . " Grant , where are you going ? " " Book the next flight ! I'm going to Jindiwood ! " " What ? Hey - wait , Grant , wait for me ! " The two of them rushed off , leaving Luna behind . She stood frozen , staring after them , her hands slowly curling into fists , hatred flickering like fire in her eyes . Oriana was unbelievable . To provoke Grant's possessiveness , she had actually gone so far as to fake a marriage ? Luna had underestimated her . She couldn't compete head - on , so she stooped to dirty tricks . Well , Luna would never let Oriana have her way ! ***** In Jindiwood , Oriana returned from the manor to the city . The taxi couldn't get inside the neighborhood , so she paid the fare and got out , walking toward the gate . Ahead , an old man riding a bicycle suddenly toppled sideways , crashing to the ground . Oriana rushed forward , lifting the bicycle and helping him up . " Sir , are you all right ? " The old man was covered in dirt , his clothes patched and torn in places , and he carried a sharp , unpleasant odor . But his eyes were bright , full of vitality . Seeing that , Oriana relaxed a little . At his age , a fall like that could've been disastrous if he'd been frail . " I'm fine , thank you . You're the only one who came to help ." The nearby pedestrians , who had been about to step forward but thought better of it , froze in awkward silence . Oriana gave him a small smile . " I'm just glad you're okay . Let me help you up . Do you feel dizzy at all ?

Noah watched her , pleased beyond words . Micah had always been a thorn in his side , but finally , he'd done something right . Noah liked the girl very much ! After making sure nothing was missing , Oriana looked up to find Noah staring at her . She blinked in surprise . " Sir , what is it ? " " Miss , thank you for helping me . As repayment , how about I read your future ? " " Read my future ? " Oriana tilted her head , glancing at the cart full of scrap piled on his tricycle . Noah thumped his chest . " I'm from Harborin . Reading fortunes used to be my trade . But Jindiwood cracked down hard , so I had to switch jobs . Still , I'm good at it - never miss ." His gaze sharpened as he studied the lines of her face carefully . " Miss , you just got married , didn't you ? Congratulations ! " Oriana's eyes widened in disbelief . Noah grinned and went on , fingers twitching as if calculating . " And I can tell - you've only recently been through heartbreak . You've come a long way , all the way here to Jindiwood . " " Sir , that's incredible . " " No , trick at all . Since you were kind enough to help me , let me read your marriage fate . " Muttering under his breath , he traced signs in the air , then suddenly nodded , his eyes lighting up . " Perfect match . Miss , you and your husband were destined by fate , tied across three lifetimes . Cherish it well , and you'll spend your days in love and harmony , live to grow old together , surrounded by children and grandchildren , with happiness beyond measure .
