?Chapter 624:


    Nina froze for a second, then suddenly remembered Henry. Without wasting any time, she pulled out her phone and dialed his number.


    The call connected almost instantly.


    “Uncle Henry, guess who I’m having dinner with? Mr. Briggs! You always talk about him—why don’t you say hi?”


    She stretched her arm toward William, offering the phone. The pink crystal bracelet on her wrist sparkled faintly under the light, drawing attention to her smooth, delicate skin.


    He nced briefly at the bracelet before taking the phone and walking over to the tall window nearby.


    Henry, excited to get a rare call with William, chatted away cheerfully.


    Toward the end of the call, he said meaningfully, “William, Nina is a remarkable young woman. In some ways, she even reminds me of you in your younger days—smart, confident, and driven. Seeing you two together really puts me at ease.”


    William wasted no time clearing things up, not wanting Henry to get the wrong idea. “Henry, you’ve misunderstood. Nina’s just working on a project with us at the institute. That’s all.”


    Henry paused, slightly disappointed. He had hoped something romantic might develop between the two.


    “You’re so picky, William. What, is Nina not good enough for you? You’ve never dated anyone for as long as I’ve known you. Don’t tell me… are you gay?”<fn1528> Get full chapters from find(?)ovel</fn1528>


    William let out a softugh. “No. I like women. In fact, there’s someone I already have feelings for. She’s smart, capable, and beautiful.”


    Henry caught on immediately. William was already in love.


    “Well now, I’m really curious. What kind of woman could steal your heart?”


    William smiled gently, the image of Ste surfacing in his mind.


    “You’ll meet her someday. When the time’s right.”


    To him, no onepared to her—she was perfect in every way, even if others didn’t agree.


    Henryughed. “Sounds like I need to make a trip to Choria soon—you’ve got me intrigued!”

    Looking out at the sunset, William replied calmly, “You’re always wee in Choria.”


    After hanging up, he walked back and handed Nina her phone.


    She hadn’t heard a word of the conversation, so naturally, she was curious.


    “Mr. Briggs, what did you and Uncle Henry talk about?”


    With his usual calm expression, William replied, “He spoke highly of you and said you have real talent.”


    A spark of happiness lit up her face. If Henry had praised her, did that mean he also mentioned how well they matched?


    She looked at William with anticipation, hoping he would say more.


    But he simply stood up and began helping Ste clear the table.
