Mrs. Maton replied to him in dissatisfaction, “I'm not very satisfied with her, but you are older now, and if there is a woman who likes you so wholeheartedly, you should stop being so picky. It doesn't matter whether I am satisfied as long as she can treat you well.”“There are so many women who love me wholeheartedly!” Julian emphasized righteously. What did she mean, he was too old? She made it sound as if he could not find a woman who wanted to marry him when in fact, he was not looking for a woman to marry. Mrs. Maton was urging him to get back together with his ex-girlfriend a few days ago, but she was now trying to set him up with Yvonne. Her stance had changed too quickly.He definitely would not understand the complex mentality of a mother who wanted her son to start a family, especially when she saw other people with their grandchildren running around. She could not wait for him to grab just any woman and get married.After saying this, he quickly changed the topic. “Is
She felt a little sad and a little aggrieved when she thought of this. He was the first and only man in her life, but she was among the most inconspicuous among his many women.It was unfair—it was really unfair. But what could she do? It was impossible for a man like him to settle down for her. Just look at how often he changed girlfriends. When Julian suddenly hugged Yvonne, Benjamin, who was behind him, was startled. His first reaction was to look at Nora, who was far away, fearfully. Nathan, who was relatively calm, wanted to step forward and separate his boss and Yvonne. After all, he knew that Julian was deliberately doing this to irritate Nora. Such behavior was too childish and risky. If Nora was agitated, she would think that he was a playboy and ignore him more. It would not be worth it at all. However, Julian’s original image was already that of a playboy. As for Julian and Yvonne, who were the parties involved, Julian was doing exactly what Nathan was thinking—he was
That unknown girl was the end of him.Nathan waited until Yvonne was tired of crying and venting, then he helped her get into the car before he took her home.This night was chaotic; it was so chaotic that Nathan, who had never been late for work in so many years, was late for work for the first time. He was half an hour late, and he was even wearing the same clothes he was wearing yesterday.Julian did not say anything, but Benjamin kept pestering Nathan for a long time and asked him what happened last night. Nathan never said a word, and Benjamin was so anxious that he almost jumped off the building.In the next few days, the employees of Maton Group were all discussing the scandal between Julian and Yvonne, and some people even pictured their wedding.Nora originally thought that Julian had a new girlfriend, so she could finally have peace. As a result, Julian stopped coming to look for her, but his name was constantly lingering in her ears all day long. Several colleagues arou
He always felt that she was still a little girl. Julian had to admit that Greg asking Nora to go on blind dates and what he was saying to her about marriage made Julian feel a little flustered. An inexplicable feeling of tension arose in his heart. After the break up, he had always believed that he was the perfect lover, and that no man could be compared to him.However, he had forgotten that there was a 10-year age difference between them. There were so many young, capable men in Detroit, and there were many outstanding men in every age group. If she kept to herself, he was indeed the most perfect among the limited people she knew, but if her parents intervened and helped to plan her marriage, she would have her choice among all the young bachelors in Detroit. It was Greg’s words that made Julian calm down a bit. She would eventually get married and have children, instead of always being the shy little girl who asked him to teach her how to be in a relationship.He felt even more
“Why are you here?”Julian sat down directly across from her and spoke up expressionlessly. “Benjamin went out on an errand. Just talk to me if you need anything.”Nora did not feel like talking to him at all. If she spoke to Benjamin about the same thing, it would feel like two friends helping each other, but if she spoke to Julian, she constantly felt as if something was not right. She pursed her lips and stopped talking. At the same time, she wondered why Julian was here when she had clearly made an appointment with Benjamin. Her head was spinning as she thought of ways to end this embarrassing meeting. She thought of saying that she was in a hurry to leave because she had something to do, so she smiled at him and said, “Mr. Julian—"As soon as her words fell, he interrupted her. “Benjamin mentioned that you wanted to sell your car.”Nora stopped talking. However, she had nothing to hide since he already knew everything, so she lowered her eyes and replied, “Yes, I want to sel
Regardless of whether Nora was the one who publicized this matter, Gina had no right to blame her. After all, she herself was a culprit as well. If she hadn’t told such lies, she wouldn't have ended up in such an embarrassing and awkward situation now.Furthermore, Julian believed that Nora was not the one who spread this rumor because he believed in her character. Gina was in pain, and she had a lost expression as she yelled angrily, “No one else knows about this but her! Who else could it be?!”Nora was initially sympathetic toward Gina after Julian kicked her to the ground, but when Gina continued insisting that she was the one who had spread the rumors about her, she suddenly lost all sympathy for Gina. She then declared her position righteously. “I’ll repeat myself: I didn’t spread any rumors about you. I can’t even be bothered to mention someone like you in my life, okay? It would only dirty my mouth!”This was the first time Nora had said such harsh words, but she was only
“Don’t you know how to fight back when you’re bullied?”Julian was furious, and he wanted to kick Gina again when he remembered what Gina had said to Nora at the university previously and how Gina had pushed Nora just now.Nora had a good temper and had always ignored Gina. Nora retorted, “That’s not true! I wanted to fight back, but you showed up, didn’t you?”Nora had really intended to fight back just now, and if Julian had not appeared, she would have slapped Gina ruthlessly if the latter dared to pounce on her again. She had always wanted to maintain peace, but she did not expect that Gina would take it for granted and even start a fight with her, so she could only fight back.Even the most peaceful person would fight back when pushed into a corner. “Oh, so you can fight back too? I thought you would only endure when being bullied.” Julian glanced at her as she clenched her fist angrily and said, “Don’t underestimate me!”Julian stretched out his hand and wrapped it a
However, he could easily come up with a somewhat evil and bad approach, but Nora, who had never had any bad thoughts, would never think of a direct method such as destroying the divorce agreement. All that Nora could think about these days was how she could get her mother to change her mind, but she was also panicked and worried because she knew that it was not that simple. “Such a small matter? This is a big deal to me, okay? I’ve been so worried that I’ve been pulling my hair out!” Nora protested in dissatisfaction when she heard him speaking so casually. She then made a gesture of raising her hand to pull her hair as Julian laughed in amusement. After laughing, he asked her out. “Let’s have dinner together tonight.” Before she could refuse, he spoke up again. “I’ll tell you how to solve the problem over dinner tonight.”He would tell her the solution to this matter in exchange for this dinner together. Nora could only agree because she wanted to solve this problem very badly.
