Valerie und angrily, Julia, we need to go back immediately and show them what you’re made of Let them know you’re not someone to be messed with. You have me to bark your tap. He’s with another woman, and post can’t just walk away”
She added, “They’re the ones in the wrong. They’re the ones who should leave, not us, Julia, you can’t let yourself be treated like this. Harry is despicable. Didn’t he promise to cut off contact with Arya”
Thinking about Harry’s behavior towards her in recent days and their delightful conversation, even though they often bickered and she got upset, Julia fel a sense of happiness.
Valerie dragged Julia back, but Julia said, “It’s okay, Tim net täpset. I’ve known all along. I jour didn’t let it bother me. It’s my fault for not controlling my emotions. Let’s go
“So what? You’re the one who’s been betrayed. Why are you saying things like this Valerie couldn’t understand what Julia was thinking, how she could endure this. “You’re nothing like the Julia | kusw.”
Julia’s mind was in turmed. She knew better than anyone how her feelings for Harry had grown wildly over the past few days. Almost all the secrets. she had kept buried in her heart were on the verge of being revealed these days.
She pulled Valerie again, “Let’s find another place to eat. My treat. Let’s have a drink”
Sering Julia didn’t want to go back, Valerie didn’t push further. She continued to vent her frustrations about Harry and Arya as they walked. criticizing Arya from beginning to end. But what difference would it make!
Julu had considered going back to the restaurant and asked Harry what their interactions these past few days meant. But she knew that if she asked, Harry would realize what was bothering her
She had asked Harry long ago if he remembered a little girl who always followed them around when they were young, but he said he didn’t
remember
Since Harry didn’t remember, she didn’t want to bring up the past and let it go.
The person she had a crush on in her youthful years would be buried in her memories as time passed. It was fine like this. Now, Harry was just her husband in name only, unrelated to her childhood crush, her memories, or her feelings.
Julia took Valerie to a small pub.
Valerie stared at Julia for a long time, then asked, “Why can you tolerate Harry and Arya sering each other? You know Arya wants to be with Harry. She defnitely wants Harry to divorce you and be with her”
“Why should I care about what someone I don’t even care about is doing?” Julia’s question lefi Valerie speechless, Julia’s best state was when she had just married Harry. At that time, she was focused on being herself, and nothing Harry did could affect her mood.
Valerie couldn’t understand. “But I can see that you like Harry”
Then, Julia immediately denied it. I don’t like him.”
Valerie rolled her eyes. “We’re both women, and I’m not some naive young girl in love. If you don’t like Harry, then why have you been constantly checking your phone today? Are you waiting for him to contact you?”
Valerie continued, “If you don’t like Harry, why did your face darken when you saw him with Arya? If Harry truly doesn’t matter to you, why keep emphasizing af Often, the more someone emphasizes something, the more it shows they actually care.”
Julia’s response was calm “Sometimes, expressing your feelings won’t lead to a desired outcome. People shouldn’t express their feelings if they know it’s futile. I’ve never wanted to waste my time on romantic entanglemerus.”
Watching Julia gradually regain her composure, Valerie found herself losing the meaning of what she wanted to say. She looked at Julia with sympathy, thinking. So marrying a rich man lant all sunshine and roses. Rich men aren’t always faithful. For example. Harry.
Julia lost track of how much she had been drinking. She leaned her head on the table, oblivious to the buzzing phone in her bag. She chatted aimlessly with Valerie, who listened silently.
“Julia, stay put. Don’t wander off. I’ll take this call, Valerie said as she noticed an unknown number Hashing on her phone. She went to a quiet place
The voice of Harry came through the phone, and Valerie coldly sorted, sarcastically asking. “Who are you looking for?”
