Chapter 107 Broken Hopes

She was still trying to fix things between them.

She still had hope. She figured Julian was just in a bad mood these days; that’s why he was acting this way toward her.

Julian didn’t respond, his hand shifting faintly.

Iris knew he heard her.

She hung her head, her heart hurting more and more. She twisted the corner of her pajamas tight, her voice soft as a whisper. “Julian, this sudden cold shoulder is killing me. Just tell me what I did wrong, okay?”

Julian stood up from the sofa, bent over, and propped his elbows on his knees. He covered his face with

his hands and took a deep breath. A heavy, cold vibe filled the room. His voice was hoarse and low, quiet and beaten down. “Iris, let’s move to another country. Alright?”

Iris froze, totally shocked.

After a long time, she finally pulled herself together. “Why do we need to move? Did something happen to you? Tell me. Maybe I can help.”

“Nothing happened. I just want to get out of here. Pick any country you want.” Julian talked to her, still bent over with his face in his hands.

Iris couldn’t see his face, but he didn’t sound like he was joking.

Iris answered him honestly, “I’m not moving. I love my country too much. It raised me for over ten years. Now’s the time for me to pay it back. I love my family too. I have old parents to take care of, a brother, and my best friend. Everything I have is right here. You want me to leave all this, give up my job, and go abroad with you? That’s not happening.”

Julian stayed quiet.

“Your family and job are here too. Why do you want to move? Did something bad go down?”

Julian’s aura was frigid enough to chill the air.

Even though it was a hot summer day, Iris felt chills sitting next to him.

“Why aren’t you talking?” Iris felt so sad she could cry.

She was so done with this cold treatment.

When he was nice to her, he was like a fire, hot enough to melt her.

When he was cold, he threw her straight into an ice cave and left her to freeze to death.

Julian said flatly, “I don’t know what to say,”

He stood up and walked toward his bedroom.

Iris stood up too and chased after him. She grabbed his hand. “You…”

It was just a quick touch. He pulled his hand away, all sensitive and disgusted. “Don’t touch me.”

That line cut Iris’s heart like a knife.

She froze, her heart turning completely cold. Tears welled up in her eyes.

She couldn’t figure out why he’d changed so much.

He wouldn’t even look at her, and he couldn’t stand touching her.

Hot one minute, cold the next. All over the place.

This was just the old Julian.

Iris’s voice cracked a little. “Okay, I won’t touch you. But if you’re gonna end this, can you at least tell me why?”

Julian stood with his back to her. His lonely figure looked so cold and dark. He looked toward the bedroom with a blank, unfocused stare, his eyes red-rimmed.

After a second, he spoke coldly. “It’s not your fault.”

“If it’s not my fault, then it’s yours.” Iris couldn’t take his coldness anymore. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed with an ice pick, cold and painful. Her voice shook with tears. “What’s so bad you can’t talk about it? Why do you have to treat me this way?”

“I’m sorry.” He dropped those words coldly, walked into the bedroom, and slammed the door shut.

Iris’s heart felt hollow. Tears streamed down her face, but she couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. It felt sad and ridiculous.

What kind of stupid apology was that?

Two years. She really didn’t know Julian at all.

This marriage was like a tomb, burying her alive.

No love, no intimacy. She couldn’t end it, and she couldn’t run away. She was just wasting away, always ignored, always hated.

Iris wiped the tears from her face gently, took a deep breath, turned to the coffee table, and picked up a tissue. She wiped all the tears from her face and eyes carefully.

She crumpled the tissue up tight and threw it in the trash.

She’d never wanted to curse so bad in her life.

Right now, she really wanted to say it.

Screw love.
