Try would usually catch Julianne and embrace her fully.
It looked as though he was going to catch her as usual, but then be seemed to reconsider it. Instead, he quickly aide stepped her and simply reached out, grabbing her arm to steady her.
Julianne was already in a bad mood. When she saw how unwilling tvin was to embrace her, her expression became thunderous.
Icouldn’t help smirking at the sight of Irvin avoiding her.
See, as a married man, he knew he shouldn’t behave intimately with any woman other than his wife. He knew that doing so was
чтопр
Yet in the past, he would casually hug Julianne and even allow her to cling to his arm. They would behave to intimately with
each other.
When I had called him out on it, he had the nerve to say I was reading too much into it because I had already made up my mind about their relationship,
After reading the contents of my journal, I was glad I had lost all memory of him. If I hadn’t, I would still be living in a constant state of self–doubt while constantly being gaslighted by him. I probably would have fallen into depression long ago due to this.
Before Irvin could say anything, Julianne cried, “Irvin Millie had me chased out of the hospital earlier this morning. And now, she’s gathered people to wreck my house!
“I know I had immediately assumed the worst of Millile without even asking her. But I’ve already admitted I was wrong and apologized to her!”
Her tears fell freely as she spoke.
She was already trembling like a flower in a storm, so her crying made her look even more pitiful. Seeing her in such a state would surely evoke sympathy.
Irvin had always been sympathetic toward her. Thus, he looked at me and said, “You know what you say about me and Lianne isn’t true. So why are you doing this?”
I did warn Julianne yesterday about what I was going to do. She then ran to him and complained about it.
However, he thought I was merely making an empty threat. He also assumed I was just throwing a tantrum to force our divorce. Thus, he didn’t believe I would actually follow through with what had said.
He never imagined I would actually do it.
Not only did I have Julianne kicked out of the hospital, but I had also gathered people at her home to help me stir up trouble for
lver
Feeling suddenly overwhelmed, his head began to ache. It hurt even more when he met my gaze , which seemed to say, “This is how I am. Help her if you think you can.
He had never felt so powerless before, not
ot even when he had been kicked out of his home by his father.
“Please don’t do this, Emi.” He looked at me pleadingly.
The old me would have been heartbroken to see the pitiful look in his eyes. She would’ve forgotten everything in an instant because she couldn’t bear to see him upset
Too bad that I was no longer that person. He had lost someone who loved him the most.
I crossed my arms and replied coolly, “What if I want to?”
Irvin’s grip on Julianne’s arm unconsciously tightened , and she cried out in pain. Only then did he realize what he had done.

He would usually side with Julianne and impatiently scold me. And from the looks of it, he seemed to be at his breaking point. It was just a matter of time before he behaved as he always had
However, he suddenly let go of Julianne’s arm. Then, he came and stood next to me.
is what you really want, babe, then so be it. You can do wherever you want as long as it makes you happy,” he said. His behavior was so out of character. Not only was I stunned by what he said, but Julianne was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
Irvin had been raised by her mother, Diana. It could be said that he floted on Julianne more than Diana did. He was also much closer to her and treated her better since childhood.
He also never did anything that would upset her.
He had just been kicked out of his home when she had gotten together with Phillip. Yet, he never said anything negative to her. Instead , he still spoiled and indulged her like he usually did.
