Anastasia admired her cousin’s fearless spirit. After offering some encouragement, she said, “Since you’ll be studying with him, you’ll have to move to Riverton. Do you want to come with me now, or later?”
Juliet thought for a moment. “Later. I want to finish reviewing everything first.”
“Alright,” Anastasia nodded.
“But Anastasia, what about my parents and Grandpa…?”
“I’ll talk to them. This is Bruno Austin we’re talking about. If he wants to take you as his student, do you really think Grandfather will say no?”
Half an hour later, Anastasia and Juliet returned to the Brennan family home, where Anastasia laid out the plan.
Mr. Brennan and Murray were floored.
“Bruno?” Murray was stunned, and even Mr. Brennan looked surprised.
“Anastasia, you know the senior Mr. Austin?”
“Yes,” Anastasia confirmed. “We met by chance and have a friendly relationship. He has already agreed to take Juliet on.”
Murray gave his niece a long, searching look. Getting the senior Mr. Austin to agree to take on a student was far more than just a “friendly relationship.”
It took the family a while to recover from the shock. Finally, Winni asked uncertainly, “But doesn’t Juliet want to be a celebrity? Why would she want to study medicine?”
Juliet glanced at her mother but said nothing.
It was embarrassing to admit, but in all the years of her marriage in her previous life, she had never once set foot in the Lancaster family home. At first, they had lived at Rosewood Manor. Later, when he returned to Riverton, he had taken her with him, but they had stayed in his private residence, not the family estate.
She was intensely curious about them.
Harrison noticed her nervousness and chuckled, his voice a soothing balm. “It’s nothing special. But once you’re there, it’s your territory. You can be the same way there as you are at Rosewood Manor.”
“And if you don’t like it,” he added, “we can always move out.”
“…Okay.” Leaning against his chest, listening to his deep, reassuring voice, Anastasia felt her tension begin to melt away, a soft smile gracing her lips.
Four hours later, they arrived in Riverton.
