Chapter 92

Shemaine said a cat coldly, “This isn’t a date. It’s just a normal dinner.”

“Got it,” said

The tension in the air rubbed Shelmaine of her appetite. She gave up eating altogether after a few more bites.

On the way back, Julien drove while Shelmaine sat quietly in the passenger seat. She did not utter a word, though he cast her furtive sidelong glances every once in a while. Eventually, she closed her eyes and leaned into her seat, looking exhausted.

when en pulled up outside her apartment building, he got out and opened the car door for her. She thanked him softly.

He couldn’t help asking, “is what I’m doing too much for you?”

“Honestly, yes.” The comes of her eyes were red as she confessed, “It made me think about some bad times. When Samuel and I got married, it happened so quickly that neither of us were ready for it

“I don’t know if you’ve heard about it, but I don’t want to make the same mistake again. Until we’re official, I’d prefer it if you didn’t joke about us being anything more than just triends.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Your reputation would be at risk if someone were against us or if we didn’t work out. It might get in the way of you finding someone better..”

Beatrix had told her that Julien hailed from a prestigious family. In short, he was yet another man out of her league.

As though understanding her argument, Julien said solemnly, “My parents aren’t the close minded sort, and you have nothing to worry about. I told my parents before I went to university that I wanted to have a say over mylide and choices.

“I built up my company and did not take a dime from my family. I’m different from Samuel. Shelly, I’m not him.”

He reached out to brush her tears away and marmured gently, “Hey, don’t cry, I don’t have any tissues on me. If you cry, I won’t be able to keep myself from hugging you.” Shelmaine’s tears were like a dagger to his heart, which broke for her. He wondered how many precious tears she had wasted on Samuel during their years together, from marriage to divorce, and most recently, after the miscarriage. Yet, Samuel didn’t even care,

“Who’s going to pick you up and send you to work? How about I become your driver? jullen offered.

“No, thanks,” Shelmaine declined calmly. “We’ll see how things go during Josie’s engagement party.” “Very well then.”

After reaching home, en immediately went up to Josie and asked if she was serious about her engagement.

She picked at the fruit platter she was eating and drawled, “Why are you so anxious about it? It’s my engagement, not yours.”

“So, are you getting engaged or not? Julien demanded impatiently
