Chapter 206
Dominic happened to have it with him, so Jane took it and compared It.
It was exactly the same, even the style and pattern of the bells were identical.
They exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement. Then, Dominic took Jane’s hand and quickly left the Condominium.
They drove to a place near the hot spring resort, close to the seaside, where the air carried a faint salty scent. After getting out of the car, the two walked along a winding mountain road. It didn’t take long before they heard a familiar voice.
“Your destiny is quite good, miss!”
“Yes… but your marital fate is a bit lacking. Ha, the two of you will part ways sooner or later!”
Jane’s heart tightened, and she quickened her pace.
Standing there was still that old lady, reading palm lines for tourists, with a smile on her face that seemed to know everything
Jane froze for a moment, only to hear the old lady continue, “But one day, you two will be happy!”
Wasn’t this the same thing she told them before?
“These two bracelets are for you.” The old lady took out two red braided ropes with bells hanging from them. “If you ever separate in the future, these bracelets will help you find each other…”
Dominic also froze.
Well, it seemed she used the same story on everyone!
He smiled wryly, about to leave with Jane in his arms. However, this stubborn little woman insisted on confronting the old lady.
“How could you do this? Isn’t this deceiving us? It’s disrespectful to the elderly!”
“Let it be.” Dominic chuckled. “If she wasn’t forced by life, she wouldn’t be here telling fortunes at her age.”
“But… because of her words, I’ve been worried for a long time!”
A warm feeling washed over Dominic.
He was the same; sometimes he woke up in the middle of the night, thinking about those words, about the inevitability of them parting ways someday, making it hard for him to sleep peacefully.
But now that they knew the truth, that this old lady wasn’t a real fortune teller but a fraud, he didn’t. feel angry about being deceived. Instead, he felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
“Well, miss, would you like me to take a look at yours?” The old lady leaned on her cane, hobbling towards them. She pretended to examine Jane for a moment and then said with a solemn look, “Miss, your destiny is indeed prosperous. I see that you are…”
“I am destined to be a queen!” jane crossed her hands in front of her chest.
A hint of surprise flashed in the old lady’s eyes.
But after all, she was an old cunning person; she pretended to remain calm and smiled slightly, “Yes, yes, that’s quite good… However, miss, your love life doesn’t seem smooth! You and the one beside you…”
“We will part ways sooner or later!” Jane burst into laughter.

My Husband Is A Secret fillomaire
The old lady rolled her eyes.
Oh no, she might have seen this one before, but she couldn’t get it right, and now they came to confront her?
Just as the old lady was about to escape, a voice came from not far away, “What nonsense are you spouting here again!”
Jane and Dominic both turned to look at the source of the voice, and it turned out to be Uncle Sebastian! Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Uncle Sebastian, the old lady looked as if a mouse had seen a cat. In an instant, her foot wasn’t lame anymore, her body wasn’t hunched, and she even threw away her cane and tried to run. But Uncle Sebastian stopped her before she could escape, grabbing her collar like catching a little
chicken.
“Hey, be gentle!”
“Why should I be gentle?” Uncle Sebastian glared, “You’re already this old and still causing trouble for people, pretending to be mysterious and deceiving others here, aren’t you?”
“No. L…”
“You’ve even deceived our young master this time?!”
The old lady was taken aback, “Your… young master?”
Uncle Sebastian pulled her in front of Dominic.
Dominic narrowed his eyes, his cold expression tinged with doubt, “Uncle Sebastian, who is she?” “Third Young Master, I’m really sorry!” Uncle Sebastian looked guilty. “She’s my sister…”
Jane gently walked up to Dominic, holding his hand with hers, and quietly looked at Uncle Sebastian and the lady.
It turned out that for these decades, besides being loyal to the Campbell family, Uncle Sebastian’s only concern was this sister of his. And his sister also cared deeply for him, trying to find odd jobs near the hot spring resort just to be closer to him.
Afterward, it was discovered that there were many fortune–tellers at the temple gate, and they made money just by talking. She learned their ways and started practicing this trade too.
Her life had been tough. In her early years, she was mistreated by her in–laws because she couldn’t bear children, often covered in bruises. Later, her husband passed away unexpectedly, leaving her childless and alone. She lived a solitary and impoverished life up to now.
So when she n read people’s fortune charts, she couldn’t really understand them, but she always spoke positively and in the best possible direction.
Because she wished for everyone who sought her predictions to be happy, hoping that no one would repeat her own misfortunes.
After hearing this, Jane felt a bit sad.
It seemed that Fortune Teller Old Lady wasn’t a bad person. Even in her difficult situation, she was willing to spread love and kindness.
“Young Master,” Uncle Sebastian explained, “I have always kept an eye on my sister. I was afraid she might spread rumors and harm the reputation of the Campbell family in this area. So when I heard that she was out giving fortunes again, I hurried over.”
“Young Master, I apologize on her behalf… If she said anything she shouldn’t have, please forgive her and Miss Jane!”
Saying this, Uncle Sebastian bowed deeply, making Jane feel embarrassed and quickly saying there was no need for such formality.
Uncle Sebastian was highly respected in the Campbell family, and he was the person the Great Benedict trusted the most. Dominic had always treated him with great respect, like an ekler in the family.
“Uncle Sebastian, you’re being too serious,” Dominic looked at him and said, “I don’t blame Aunt Flora. In fact, everything she said was positive, and I enjoyed listening.”
“Young Master…” Uncle Sebastian was somewhat surprised.
In the past, if this had happened, Dominic would have coldly driven people away and forbidden them from appearing near the inn.
But now…
After the initial surprise, Uncle Sebastian smiled knowingly and glanced at Jane.
Now, with her around, even his temperament had softened quite a bit.
“Uncle Sebastian,” Dominic asked in a deep voice, “With your position in the Campbell family, it wouldn’t be difficult to arrange a job for Aunt Flora”
“It’s not difficult, but I can’t do that,” Uncle Sebastian smiled, “Old Master dislikes favoritism. I always stay by his side, and I can’t let him down.”
“I understand the need not to show favoritism in front of Grandfather, but you can come to my side.”
“What do you mean?
Dominic’s lips curled up slightly, “Can you let Aunt Flora come to Condominium? I am considering finding someone to take care of her. If I directly bring someone over from the Campbell family, I won’t feel at ease.”
“Young Master, you…..”
“Let Aunt Flora come to Condominium, Dominic said lightly, “I will make sure she is well taken care
