All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Willow picked up the scattered documents, only to catch sight of an acquisition proposal that involved a holding company acquiring Gibson Legal Group. Willow was surprised, staring at it for a moment before quietly putting it back down.Julian seemed to guess what she'd seen and said casually, "Rosabelle missed her flight. She rushed to the airport but couldn't find him, and was even crying on the phone this evening."Willow remained indifferent.Julian softened his voice, making it gentle. "What? Are you still trying to keep your distance?"Willow couldn't stand being provoked and said coldly, "Why would I do that? We're no longer legally married."Julian stared straight at her. After a while, he smiled apologetically. "That was poorly said. I'm sorry, Ms. Harper. Please don't be mad at me.""There's nothing to be mad about," Willow replied before going into the bathroom.These days, they would occasionally share the same bed, but nothing ever happened. There wasn't even any la

It was evening, and the sun's fading light poured into the bedroom. Willow dozed off from pure exhaustion. Julian had his pants on, and his shirt was draped over him casually, with only two of its buttons done. One of his arms might have been damaged and looked hideous, but it did nothing to diminish his virility and stunning appearance. They were trying to make a baby. So, he didn't smoke. Instead, he stared at the setting sun as he rubbed her black hair and reminisced about the hot, passionate moment they had just shared. Willow slowly woke up. Unlike before, she didn't turn her back to him. This time, she remained leaning against Julian's chest with his broken arm in her sight. She stared at it for a brief moment and asked softly, "Why did you do it?"He was immediately stunned. Afterward, he guessed what she was asking about. This was the first time she had openly brought up Alicia since they had been reunited. Lowering his head, he looked at her and responded gently, "W

Julian and Willow fixed their gazes on each other's reflections in the mirror. Moments later, she hummed in response. "I'm almost done."She didn't tell him that she was pregnant because she was worried that it might come to nothing, but she was definitely fired up about it. When she was eating the pies, she was a little out of it too. Julian gave Willow some pies. "Have some. It's your favorite."She smiled faintly, lowered her head, and ate a piece of pie. Karen noticed that things were going great between Julian and Willow. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Turning sideways, she said to Dexter, "When are you bringing Eleanor and the kid back? Your dad and I want to spend some time with our grandson too."Dexter responded sulkily, "She doesn't want anything to do with me. What can I do about it?"Karen got anxious. "Even the toughest lady can't resist a persistent man. Learn from Julian's example! He's good at this."Everyone immediately fell silent. Then, Tyl

The next day, Julian went to the check-ups at the hospital with Willow, and all signs pointed to a healthy baby. Melanie was overjoyed when she learned about the news. She sprinted to the study and told Liam about it. To her surprise, he already knew about it long ago, and he was still carefully wiping his precious antique. She flew into a rage and bellowed, "All you do is wipe these old pieces of crap. You never showed any interest in our son's life!"Liam turned sideways, looked at Melanie, and responded slowly, "They're not nearly half as old as you."She slumped into the chair and wept quietly. "I know I'm old and not as young or beautiful as your assistant. And I know that you think I'm a fool. You still blame me for what happened a few years ago!"But, do you think for a second that I wasn't crushed by what happened?"Julian was in my belly for ten long months when I was pregnant. He was born a perfect boy, and yet one of his arms is ruined forever. Do you think that it d

Now, however, all Julian wanted was to shower Willow with love. He wanted her to be happy. On the last working day before the new year, Julian was sitting in the CEO's office at Nebula Group. He had just signed the last document and given it to Esther. "You can get off work after you distribute these documents to the relevant departments."She took it and chuckled faintly. "Alright. Mr. Ziegler, Happy New Year."He hummed in response, pulled out an envelope from his drawer, and said, "Here you go. Happy New Year."There was a 660-thousand-dollar check inside. Needless to say, Esther was thrilled to get it. She was willing to work 12 hours a day, six days a week, if it meant she could get more money.Just as she was about to leave the office, Julian suddenly felt dizzy, and his vision blurred. Esther was immediately shocked. "Are you okay?"He stared at her with unblinking eyes, and his mind suddenly blanked. He didn't regain his consciousness until over ten seconds later. He
