Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 647

“What?” I yelped. Priscilla wanted to leave him at his darkest hour, and she got herself and the baby killed? God, Robert must have been devastated.

“Someone rigged the car. It was meant for Robert, but Priscilla was roped into it instead. His guilt crushed him. He loved Priscilla deeply, so he didn’t hate her even though she betrayed him. He only blamed himself for it. I was worried when I found out, so I sneaked out to check on him.”

Julia raised her head to keep her tears in. Then, she pointed at somewhere far away. “It happened at the roof of Century Tower. It used to be the Andersons’ building. I saw him on the roof, harried and tired. He was crushed and on the verge of breaking down. I wanted to talk to him, but Robert cursed me. He even thought I played a part in Priscilla’s death.

“I snapped eventually, so I yelled back at him. I talked about things I shouldn’t, and I laughed at him because Priscilla left him instead of facing the darkest hours of his life with him. I kept provoking him, saying that he lost everything, including his family. I even said that he has no reason to live anymore.” She covered her face, but tears fell through the cracks between her fingers. “He was an idiot. I could have given everything up for him, but he chose someone who only loved him for his money.”

I was in no position to judge a person who was dead, but Julia had a point. I couldn’t even make an argument for Robert. It was a tragic, heartbreaking, and unacceptable story. Sadness welled up within me, and I looked at Christopher. He held my hand, giving me a look of encouragement.

“I wanted to show my concern since I used to have a crush on him, but instead, I insulted him. I couldn’t take back what I said, so I escaped the scene. The very next day, I found out Robert had leaped off the building and died just like that.”

Julia wiped her tears away, but the more she wiped, the more she cried. In the end, she looked up at the ceiling and let her tears fall freely. “I regretted that decision even until today. If I didn’t sneak out and insult him, he wouldn’t have killed himself. I knew full well that he was breaking down, but still, I insulted him out of petty anger.
