Semua Bab Leaving You Bereft: Bab 321 - Bab 330

After a while, Julian walked in. Standing at the doorway of the office, he watched Willow working at his former desk. That sight made his heart ache.She was single-handedly managing a multibillion-dollar corporation while raising three children. Just the thought of it was exhausting.Julian could've revealed his hand, but considering the public statement Nebula Group had previously released, doing so now would seem frivolous. It might even affect shareholders' confidence and damage Willow's image.Furthermore, Julian had set his sights on the AI robot project bidding and was eager to meet Michael Hall from Ascent Group.Willow smiled faintly at him and said, "Why are you still standing there? Sit on the sofa. I have some things to tell you."Julian walked over and sat down, bathing in the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The scorching June sun shone on his face, accentuating his features.Just looking at him was a feast for the eyes, making Willow realize that hiring

At 10:00 pm, the car stopped at Paradise Street.As soon as the car stopped, the driver stepped out to open the passenger door for Willow, while Esther got out from the other side.When Willow stepped out and was about to walk into Harold's shop, she spotted a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.It was none other than Michael from the banquet earlier. His car was parked across the street. A beautiful woman was sitting in the passenger seat.They appeared intimate, but not overly so, as if they were discussing something.Willow caught a glimpse of the woman's face. It was actually…At that moment, the glass door of Harold's shop slid open. His daughter, Tiffany Foster, came out to greet them. "Ms. Harper, my father is waiting for you inside."Normally, the shop would have closed by now. But Willow had placed an order of six suits, worth around 200 thousand dollars. For Harold, pulling a late night for such a deal was hardly a big ask.When the group entered, Tiffany se

It was a night of unrestrained passion. The night was still as Willow nestled in Julian's arm, still immersed in the lingering waves of pleasure.Julian propped himself up slightly, naturally reaching for the bedside table drawer. He remembered there were two unopened packs of cigarettes inside, but when he pulled one out, he ended up putting it back.Lowering his gaze, he looked at the woman in his arms, and his brows relaxed.The past had been bitter, but what he held now was real. He would spend his whole life repaying what he owed Willow by cherishing her and making her happy as they raised their children together.Of course, because of the bidding project, he didn't want to announce he had regained his memory for the time being. He wanted to strike Michael with a lethal blow.Julian had long outgrown the age of being competitive. This was entirely for the bigger picture. Also, it was to bring a little fun between him and Willow.Willow had no idea, and perhaps that made thin

Willow didn't think much of Michael. His wife had just passed away less than half a year ago, and he was already planning to remarry.Plus, he had a son who was over ten years old. Remarried couples often had their own agendas. Eleanor shouldn't give up her career.Willow thought for a moment before offering her personal opinion. "Eleanor, for Maisie's sake, please reconsider. You've reached your ceiling at Nebula Group, but in a couple of years, I can allocate 1% of the equity to you."Although it can't compare to Michael's billions in assets, there's a saying I believe in—a bird in hand is worth two in the bush." Eleanor was deeply moved. She knew full well that someone in her current position wouldn't normally receive such treatment. This was coming from Willow's personal regard for her.Her voice trembled as she declined. "Thank you, Ms. Harper. I know you've always treated me well, but I'm sorry."Eleanor stood up and lowered her head slightly. She still remembered many yea

Julian sat upright on the sofa, his dark eyes as deep as ink. After a moment, he asked gently, "How did you figure it out?"Willow stared at him intently, her lips trembling slightly. "Because the Julian Ziegler who lost his memory would never have gotten a vasectomy. He wouldn't understand the pain of childbirth."Back when she gave birth to Landon and Gabriella, she had complications and heavy bleeding. Julian had gotten down on his knees to beg Dorothy.Later, the accident on the highway happened. And then, he fell ill, and she brought him home from Lake Tolpond.They had been through so much together. But now, it felt like a lifetime ago.Willow didn't say anything more, nor did she mention the past. She simply put down the papers in her hand and gently hugged the man in front of her.She gently stroked his right arm. He was no longer the Julian of the past. Even though he still carried his scars, he was seemingly closer to being a good father and a good husband.That night
