Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 530

Julius closed his eyes, a deep sense of disappointment washing over him. Janina had really changed. She had become so… unreasonable and aggressive.

Elena glared at the departing Holts before finally turning her attention back to the room.

Seeing Yvonne’s swollen face, she offered a few words of comfort.

Then, her tone shifting as if she’d found a new ally, she immediately took Yvonne’s hand and glanced down at her stomach.

“Yvonne, does it hurt? Why did you come? That was so close. You need to be careful. You’re pregnant now, why are you still wearing high heels? When the baby is born, he mustn’t be anything like the Holts. My grandson will be raised in the Aurelius family.”

Yvonne lowered her gaze, her hand gently resting on her abdomen, her eyelashes fluttering.

She inwardly scoffed at Elena. She’d been so thoroughly humiliated by Janina and hadn’t dared to do a thing.

When she looked up again, the hatred and disdain in her eyes were gone, replaced by a soft, obedient expression.

“Don’t worry, Mother. The baby is Julius’s. What other name would he have but Aurelius? I’ll change into flat shoes as soon as I get home.”

Her docile and sensible demeanor was a stark contrast to Janina’s aggressive behavior.

Some of the anger Elena had felt from her confrontation with the Holts began to subside.

Julius glanced at Yvonne’s stomach, a flicker of unease crossing his face.

Three months ago, he had woken up from a drunken night to find Yvonne lying naked beside him. That one time had resulted in her pregnancy.

He should be happy about this child’s arrival.

But for some reason, he just couldn’t bring himself to feel any joy.

Yvonne was so good; she would surely be a good mother.

He tried to convince himself. Yvonne was carrying his child, so he should give her a wedding, take responsibility for her.

Although they had recently gotten their marriage license, what woman doesn’t dream of a beautiful wedding?

After all, he had always loved her, hadn’t he?

From his first love in his youth until now. Even marrying Janina had been an attempt to forget Yvonne.

But it didn't matter. Yvonne was now carrying her son’s child.

The more Elena thought about it, the more she liked Yvonne.

Julius collected himself and looked down at Yvonne.

His face finally cleared, a smile touching his lips. He gently put his arm around her shoulder and asked softly, “Does your face still hurt?”

Yvonne shook her head with an understanding expression, but the unshed tears in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

Julius grew concerned, cupping her face in his large hands.

He studied her with a worried gaze, as if she were a precious treasure. “I’ll take you to the hospital to get it checked. You’ve been through a lot.”

His face was so close, filling Yvonne’s vision. She could feel the anxiety and heartache in his eyes.

In that moment, she was deeply grateful for the two slaps from Janina. They had completely shattered the distance that had grown between her and Julius.
