Chương 435: Chapter 434- Another clue against Alexander.

An hour later…

Derrek strolled out to the backyard, arms wide on both sides, stretching his back. He yawned loudly, shifting his gaze to the person sitting on the patio.

"Julia…" He narrowed his eyes. "Did Declan forbid her again from going out?" He approached her and looked at the coffee mug she was holding. "Enjoying coffee alone."

Julia, who had been staring at the flowering plants on her right, shifted her gaze to Derrek. "Yes... sigh... "I needed to get some fresh air."

Her reply strengthened his doubt. He felt sorry for her, but he knew his brother was doing everything he could to keep her safe.

"Have you taken the day off?" she asked, sipping the coffee.

"Yup. My current boss, Mr. McCoy, has taken a few days off.  He said I could also rest a day. So, here I am, enjoying my holiday." He smirked. "What about you?"

"The same." She smiled.

"Oh!" Derrek raised his one eyebrow. "I thought Declan barred you from going out."
