It was March, and things were busy at Nebula Group. Julian invested all of his time and energy into his work, propelling the company to new heights. At the end of the month, Julian attended a banquet. He might have lost some weight, but he still looked dazzling in a classic black-and-white tuxedo. Countless women looking for a husband could barely hold themselves back. He had a glass of champagne in his hand, but he was weighed down by loneliness. He could no longer see the one person he yearned for.Braxton walked over and said with a smile, "Julian, what are you doing here alone? There are plenty of ladies who would love to socialize with you."Julian grinned nonchalantly. "Mr. Young, you're too kind."Braxton saw the look on Julian's face and knew the latter was uninterested. So, he changed the topic. "Julian, thanks to your recommendation, Caleb looks more mature and manly now. On top of that, he could hold his own most of the time too. I have you to thank for all of this.

Julian stepped into the car. Esther sat on the passenger seat. She turned sideways and said softly, "The company's monthly meeting will be held in half an hour. Mr. Ziegler, here are the materials for your perusal."Julian halfheartedly leafed through it. He felt a little restless. It was like something was going to happen. Putting the document down, he relayed an order to Esther."Cancel the meeting and make it tomorrow."Esther was immediately stunned. After that, Julian drove alone to Willow's apartment. For a while now, he would swing by the apartment whenever he couldn't contain the yearning in his heart. He would spend his time cleaning the place and making a meal. He would convince himself that she was still with him and that they were still happily married. In his fantasy, she opened the door, surprised him, and said, "Julian, I'm home."How he longed to hear it. However, a word from her felt like a wish too distant for him to grasp.As usual, Julian cleaned up the apa

The next day, Julian took a flight to Yarrowmere. An emergency came up at the company. So, the presents Melanie prepared were left in the villa for days. He didn't have the chance to bring them to the Chapman residence.Julian leaned on the chair in the CEO's office in Nebula Group's branch at Yarrowmere and rubbed his eyebrows gently. Esther opened the door, came in, and placed a stack of documents on his work desk. Her voice was soft when she spoke."Mr. Ziegler, please sign these."Julian opened them and started signing. He asked casually, "I don't have any business functions tonight, do I?"Esther shook her head. "Everything has been accounted for at all places. There's an opening ceremony of an art festival this Saturday. As the special guest, you have to give a speech on stage."Julian nodded slightly in response. Events like these were organized because the municipality needed to pull in some funding. The company paid for it, and he was just there to keep up appearances.O

The sunlight was harsh, and Julian's eyes glistened with faint tears. He wished so badly that he could touch Landon with his own hand and feel his baby's presence. However, he didn't have the right to do it. Staring at Willow, he asked softly, "Landon is going to be born soon, right? Has he been active lately? Can you feel his little hands through your belly? Has he been naughty? Is he a good boy?"His voice choked up toward the end of his sentence. Willow had a nonchalant expression on her face. She was emotionless as she looked at Julian, who couldn't contain his feelings, and spoke in a frigid tone. "This has nothing to do with you. Landon is mine, and mine only. He will be a Harper and have no ties to you. None whatsoever."Julian, do you want to know what was on my mind on the night that Grandma passed away? "I didn't want to see you or hear your voice again for the rest of my life. I wouldn't have known Alicia if it weren't for you, and Grandma wouldn't have had to die

It was raining heavily in Yarrowmere that night. Willow sat on the living room couch as her hand rested gently on her pregnant belly, her gaze somewhat lost in thought. Due to complications with one of the two babies she carried, the doctor had suggested an early hospital stay, with the possibility of an emergency C-section to ensure the well-being of both mother and babies.Heather busied herself with packing nearby, getting ready for the hospital stay the next morning. Upon noticing Willow's absentmindedness, Heather walked over and gently held her hand, saying, "It'll be alright, Willow. Timothy has already contacted the blood bank, too. Though Rh-negative blood is rare, they have adequate supplies. And in case of an early C-section, I've already contacted Mrs. Gibson, who shares the same blood type and has kindly offered her assistance in an emergency."Willow gently caressed her belly and murmured, "I'm just worried about the babies."That devastating fire had not only claime
