~Chapter 23

Third POV

Julius's health had been improving and so has his want for Vera.

His mum left them knowing well that Vera could take care of him.

He had started walking on his own but was still adviced to rest for the time being.

He stayed away from work per the doctor's advice and he never missed a chance to make Vera blush or faulter in whatever she was doing either by small gestures or teasing.

Vera on the other hand never protested but she was conflicted whether to take his gestures as love for her or to take them as him exacting his rights on her.

She found herself getting worked up thinking about it

"It's silly you think he doesn't love you"

Vera had turned to her best friend for help, knowing she would be able to understand her uncertainty

"It's not silly.

It's completely justified.

If he loved me he would have told me "

She sighed running a hand through her hair

"All he has done for you isn't enough to tell you he loves you.

He brought your family to you and he kissed you in front
