Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 154

Hearing this, Julian's temper subsided. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head, snapping him instantly back to reality.

Thinking back on his intense reaction to Willow just moments ago, he realized he had been completely out of his mind. Neglecting Toby and Vivienne at home just to come out here and tangle with her—he must have lost his senses entirely.

He chalked his erratic behavior up to a momentary lapse of judgment. Because she had changed, because she was so different from before, he had found it thrilling. But if push came to shove, Toby and Vivienne obviously held a far more important place in his heart.

After all, she had given him a child.

Julian had always known about his hidden medical condition—a low sperm count that made having biological children nearly impossible. Having Toby was the greatest blessing of his life. Even his initial decision to commit to Vivienne had been largely driven by that exact fact.

Now that he had sorted out his priorities, his internal conflict vanished.

"I'm sorry, the meeting with my client got a bit tense, so I was on edge," he explained to Vivienne. "Wait for me at home. I'm heading back right now."

Vivienne didn't call him out on his lie. "It's fine, but won't leaving now affect your work? If it's a problem, just stay. I can take care of Toby by myself."

"It's not a problem. I'll be there in half an hour."

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you."

Hanging up the phone, a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corners of Vivienne's lips.
