He could earn more money if he lost some, but he would not be able to get her back if he really lost her. Therefore, he would handle the temporary work matters that he could and leave those that he could not to Nathan and Benjamin.Speaking of Nathan and Benjamin, Nathan had held a wedding with Yvonne during spring after the New Year, and they had officially become husband and wife. Julian felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw how sweet they were when he attended their wedding. He had obviously fallen in love with Nora first, but Nathan ended up getting married first. Julian naturally knew that he had brought everything upon himself. Regarding his current pursuit of Nora all the way to the United States, he had never thought about trying his best to impress her so that she could reconcile with him quickly; he understood that Rome was not built in a day. His only thought now was to be able to see her and have contact with her, not like when he did not have any news about her at
“This was specially prepared for you. It’s so exquisite. You should enjoy it.” She then smiled at him and said, “Mr. Julian, you might have a bad memory because of your old age, so I would like to kindly remind you that I’m not your girlfriend. I’m your ex-girlfriend, so please don’t make this kind of mistake again in the future.”Old age?Julian felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart when he heard these words. He felt the anger in his heart surging but was being suppressed. He could not vent and could only stare at her. He finally sighed in anger as he looked at her and said, “You have become much more eloquent after just more than a year.”Nora smiled brightly and said, “You’re not that bad yourself, Mr. Julian. You seem to have become even more shameless.”Julian really felt like dying.After the verbal battle just now, Nora discovered something that was more fun and interesting—it was to infuriate Julian. Instead of deliberately pretending to be indifferent toward him,
“Who is this?”Nora smiled faintly and introduced lightly. “He’s my brother’s friend.”She eliminated the relationship between her and Julian completely with just one sentence. Julian would feel better even if she had just introduced him as her friend, but she actually said that he was Ryan’s friend.Everything between them started when he was Ryan’s friend, and he had returned to being Ryan’s friend to her. He was in her world, but it was as if he had never been there before. This gave Julian mixed feelings and made him feel very uncomfortable. “This introduction doesn’t seem very accurate, does it?” Julian refuted Nora’s words with a gloomy expression and looked at the young man as he sneered and introduced himself. “I’m her brother’s friend, and I’m also her ex-boyfriend. I’m the ex-boyfriend who is pursuing her to try and win her back.”After Julian introduced himself in this manner, the young man seemed to have realized something as he exclaimed, “Oh, I got it now! You’re th
She turned around and planned to leave. Julian’s cold voice then sounded from behind. “Are you going to let me sleep on the street like this?”Nora stopped and turned to look at him. She was speechless. “Mr. Julian, how can you say that I’m letting you sleep on the street? There are so many hotels, so you can stay at any hotels that you want, right? Besides, this is not my home. It’s my brother’s house, so I have no right to let any outsiders in without his permission.”Nora did not hesitate when she said these words and refused to take him in. Unexpectedly, he simply stared at her with a sad expression in his eyes as he said, “I came here because of you, so you have to be responsible for my food and accommodation.”Nora was really impressed by how shameless he was when she heard this. She put her smile away and sneered, then she turned around and swiped her fingerprint at the front door of the villa and went in without looking back. There was still a short distance from the gat
Nora’s first reaction was to raise her hand and wipe her lips hard as she yelled, “Julian, you bastard!”Then Nora pushed him away, turned around, and ran toward the villa.Julian picked up the umbrella and his suitcase, which was on the ground, and chased after her. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. When Nora ran back to the villa, she was already drenched. When she closed the door, she was blocked by Julian, who squeezed in shamelessly. Nora turned around angrily and ran back upstairs. She went back to her room and went directly into the bathroom because she was completely drenched. She took a hot shower and changed into clean clothes. She recalled that there was another person downstairs who was also completely drenched, but she was too lazy to care about him when she thought of the kiss earlier. She locked her room door and let him fend for himself.As soon as she sat down, she heard the person downstairs calling out, “Nora, please lend me a clean bath towel.”Nor
Nora glanced at the bowl of ginger soup in front of her. He had added brown sugar and boiled it to the right temperature. However, she did not feel that his kind gesture was very touching at all. After all, she would not have caught a cold if he had not hugged and kissed her forcibly in the heavy rain. Therefore, she did not accept his kindness at all and flatly refused his gesture. “Thank you, but I don’t like drinking ginger soup.”She closed the door and planned to go downstairs to grab her cold medicine. Julian frowned and stopped her as he said, “You have to drink it even if you don’t like it. Otherwise, you’ll really suffer when you catch a cold.”Nora retorted, “So you do know I’d feel miserable if I catch a cold. Then why did you drag me in the rain with you just now? Is this how you show that you love me? Does the so-called loving someone mean that you will kiss them forcefully, force yourself into their home, and force them to accept you?”Nora accused him of one thing a
A lot could happen in over a year.It could change a person's preferences. It could even change their heart, turning love into indifference.However, the determination to win her back grew stronger despite the setbacks.Julian had resolved to spend his life with Nora, and no matter how many disappointments and setbacks he faced, he never considered giving up.So, the next moment, he acted as if nothing had happened. He picked up his utensils and started eating.Then, he casually asked her, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"His tone was light and natural, as if he hadn't been affected by what she'd just said.Nora couldn't help but look at him in surprise.‘Isn't he usually quite proud? From when we were in the plane until now, I've put him down several times. Doesn't he mind at all?’However, before she could say anything, she sneezed.Nora felt like she might be coming down with a cold; even the ginger soup didn't seem to be helping much.Julian frowned and said, "Finis
"Nora, it's been over half an hour since the scheduled photoshoot time," the photographer remarked.The photographer had worked with Nora numerous times, and they were quite familiar with each other. So, the photographer indirectly hinted that she was running late without sounding too rude.It's worth noting that in pursuing perfect promotional photos that would showcase her charm and the allure of the clothing, Rowan, a perfectionist, had spared no expense to hire a renowned photographer after interviewing several.The photographer's time was precious. When Nora realized she was over half an hour late, her mind sharpened to attention. She looked up and noticed she was in the studio's parking lot.Quickly, she apologized. "I'm sorry. I'm in the parking lot. I'll be there in a moment."After hanging up the phone, she began to undo her seatbelt and turned to Julian, who was sitting beside her.She asked with annoyance, "Why didn't you wake me up when we arrived? Don't tell me you p
