Books Chapter2.
Juliana's thoughts suddenly flashed back to that summer when they were still young.
During the scorching summer break, two youthful figures sat facing each other on a park bench.
Stanley told her, "You know, I've decided to change my college application."
Juliana looked up in surprise. "What? Why?"
Stanley smiled, his gaze firm. "I want to go to university with you."
Juliana felt warm in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Tears soaked her face as she pushed him, urging him to change his application back to the original one.
How could he be so reckless just for her?
But what did he say?
Well, he said.
"With me around, what are you afraid of?"
It wasn't an illusion; she had heard it.
Juliana was lost in her memories, while Stanley had already stood up, preparing to leave.
He looked at Juliana, a complex emotion flickering across his face.
Stanley said, "Juliana, there is something I need to handle."
Juliana looked up, puzzled. "What is it?"
Stanley didn't answer but just replied lightly, "Don't worry about it."
A trace of unease arose in Juliana's heart. She noticed a strange coldness in Stanley's eyes that made her uneasy. She wanted to ask more but was interrupted by Stanley.
"Stanley, we're both adults, and so is Amelia. Have you considered that she doesn't need to socialize? Why does she always have to follow along? It's because..."
"It's because she wants to help me share the work and can't bear to see me so exhausted. Not everyone lives like you, a parasite who relies on men."
Juliana's mouth hung open in shock.
A parasite... she thought.
So this is how he sees me?
Juliana's heart turned to ice.
She realized that Stanley's gentleness was all for another woman.
Her self-esteem seemed to be trampled by his harsh words.
Juliana trembled, trying to calm down, but couldn't withstand the excruciating pain in her heart. She blacked out and collapsed to the ground.
