Chapter 8

Author: Long Journey
Zoey's face turned ashen as she begged Julian for another chance, but he never once looked back.

After the wedding, Dad started targeting Julian's company. Some companies would rather terminate the contract than continue working with him.

Overwhelmed and frustrated, Julian still had to deal with Zoey pestering him constantly. Even so, he never missed a day to come and bother me.

"Noelle, I got us two concert tickets. They're for the artist you've always wanted to meet. Let's go together, okay?"

I glanced at the dark circles under his eyes and replied coldly, "No need. My husband's going with me."

I had always wanted to go to a concert with Julian. But back then, he thought it was a waste of time. Eventually, I stopped bringing it up altogether.

His expression immediately changed as he watched me get into Silas' car.

Seeing this, Zoey dashed toward him and slipped her arm around his. "Mr. Grant, if Noelle won't go with you, I will! Let's go together, okay?"

    Julian couldn't believe it. He reached out and tried to tear the marriage certificate apart, but I dodged him quickly. His face contorted in agony as he pleaded, "Noelle, don't marry someone else. I'm begging you. Didn't you say you were going to marry me?"I know you're angry that I gave the VP position to Zoey. I was wrong—I'll replace her right away. The position is still yours, okay? "Don't be mad anymore. We've been together for ten years, and I can't believe you'd just leave everything behind and marry someone else.""Enough!" Dad snapped. "Julian, you were the one who let Noelle down first. To think you have the nerve to say such shameless things at her wedding! Get out. Stay away from my daughter from now on!"Julian immediately swerved toward my dad and cried out, "Benjamin, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have broken my promise. I swear I'll treat Noelle well from now on. Please don't let her marry someone else—she won't be happy."I sneered. "Why would you say that? As if mar

    But even after three days, Julian still hadn't heard from me. Now, he was shirtless, with Zoey lying flushed in his arms. He kept opening our chat over and over again, struggling to cope with the growing frustration in his chest whenever he saw the breakup text I sent. He lit a cigarette. As he puffed on it, he suddenly got out of bed and got dressed quickly. "I'm going back to check on Noelle," he explained after sensing Zoey's bewildered gaze. Julian's lips were pressed into a tight line as he sped home, his eyes fixated on the road ahead. It took him only ten minutes to finish a 30-minute drive. He had no idea why his heart started pounding, why his legs were starting to give out. It was the same feeling he'd had when he got the call about my car accident. Back then, too, he'd lost all sense of what he was doing or how he even got to the hospital. Only after confirming I was okay did he finally collapse to the floor. But now, that same feeling wouldn't go away. Julia

    Frowning, Julian yanked Zoey's hand away from him. As the jeers around him drowned out the notification chime from his phone, a wave of frustration surged through his chest. He wasn't in the mood for Zoey's games. He glanced around, but I was nowhere to be seen. "Where's Noelle?"Winnie was just about to respond when Zoey suddenly lost her balance and collapsed into Julian's arms. Looking up at him with teary eyes, Zoey bit her lip and said, "Ms. Jones said she still had work to do, so she left early."Mr. Grant, my foot hurts. Can you take me home?"Zoey had crossed the line multiple times at the party tonight, yet Julian continued to indulge her. Everyone knew what kind of relationship they had, so no one dared to upset her. With all his attention drawn to Zoey's sprained ankle, Julian deliberately ignored the simmering frustration in his chest. After telling the others to enjoy themselves and that he'd take Zoey home, he scooped her into his arms and left the room. Th

    Zoey sent me a photo of Julian massaging her foot. From the knot between his brows, it was clear he was genuinely concerned about her. As I began typing on my keyboard, she sent another message. "By the way, Ms. Jones, thanks for preparing my welcome party. I love your office as well!"You're coming to my party, right? If not, it'll be such a shame for you to miss the surprise Mr. Grant prepared for me."Or… is it because you can't bear to see how much he's smitten with me?"My fingers stilled. I turned off the screen, then I went to the party with my resignation letter in hand. The moment I showed up, the room, which had been loud just seconds earlier, immediately fell silent. My colleagues exchanged glances, then all turned their eyes toward the couple in the center of the private room.Julian was downing a glass in one gulp, his expression unreadable. His gaze flicked toward me for a brief moment before he looked away. Zoey was leaning against him, her leg in a cast. F

    Zoey clung to my arm, squeezing it as if we were close friends. But I could clearly see the taunting look in her eyes.I withdrew my hand and dismissed everyone else. Now, only Zoey and I were left in my office.As soon as everyone was gone, she immediately pulled her hand back and grumbled, "Ugh, you reek like an old woman."The moment her words fell, she clasped her hand to her mouth. Her gaze darted around wildly, feigning fear as she whimpered, "Ms. Jones, I didn't mean it that way! It's all Mr. Grant's fault… He's been saying that all the time, and I couldn't help it. You'll forgive me, right?"Malice flared in her eyes—she didn't look the slightest bit sorry. Seeing I was unfazed, Zoey pushed further. She slipped one side of her shoulder out of her shirt, revealing several hickeys as she continued smugly, "Ms. Jones, look how shameless Mr. Grant is. He totally wore me out. I'll have to cover these up for the entire week!"I really envy you. You can wear whatever you want—u
