The next day.
Sean actually went to the Stranz family’s place to look for Juliana.
Inside the Stranz home, Juliana was still down in the dumps. She couldn’t settle her nerves until Scott gave her a clear answer. After all, Sandy was pregnant now—and that was Sandy’s biggest trump card.
What the Stranz family really needed was a child.
Juliana had even considered patching things up with Sandy, asking her to let her adopt the baby. She was willing to share Scott with Sandy if that meant she could finally have a child.
She wasn’t the same Juliana she used to be—her old principles were long gone.
“Mom! Andrew and Paradise are on vacation together! Look, Andrew just posted it on Facebook!” Layna came bounding down the stairs, phone in hand.
Usually Andrew hid his Facebook posts from Layna, but this time he must’ve been too happy and forgot.
Juliana barely glanced at it. “If they’re on a trip, let them be. If you want to go somewhere, I’ll have someone take you too.”
“Mom, cousin really likes Paradise. What if he actually falls for her?” Layna couldn’t stand seeing Paradise happy. She wanted everyone’s attention on her, not Paradise.
Juliana just shrugged. “If he likes her, he likes her. At your age, it’s all just a game. When you’re older, you’ll have so many options. Trust me, no one remembers their childhood crushes.”
“But cousin is glued to Paradise—he’s practically her shadow.” Layna’s jealousy was obvious. “Mom, summer break’s here. I want to go to Hong Kong to see Justin.”
“Justin’s gone to England. His mom called me today—he’ll be there for three years,” Juliana replied. “What’s the point of going to Hong Kong?”
“Justin’s in England?” Layna was stunned. “How come I didn’t know? When did he leave? Mom, I want to go to England too.”
Layna’s mind was made up—she just wanted to be where Justin was.
