You're Out of My Life のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Julian stopped talking. He cleared his throat and averted his eyes before asking, "Would you believe me if I said I just guessed?""Maybe half of it," Angela replied before launching into her own rational dissection of the situation. "My family members share similar preferences to other people their age. So, it's possible to guess what kind of gifts to get in general."However, the fact that you even bought the right brand of watch and purse means you must have taken the time and effort to find out about their specific likes and dislikes. You prepared for this much earlier, am I right?"She fixed her eyes on Julian. As she recalled the gossip Tanya had told her earlier, she asked a question that would make the old her think she had an inflated ego."I heard you've been in love with someone for many years now. Am I… the one?"Before Angela finished speaking, Julian had already looked over to meet her gaze. Staring straight into her eyes, he admitted to it with a slightly trembling

"What are you saying, Dad?" Angela hastily protested in embarrassment.Blinded by love back then, she didn't think her actions were a big deal. Now that she'd given up on Carl, she abruptly realized just how foolish she'd been all these years. She was utterly mortified.Smiling, Julian helped her out by saying, "She has me now, Fred. I won't let her suffer anymore."After glancing between Julian and Angela, Fred smiled approvingly. "Good! Now, let's have dinner."A home-cooked meal at the Thompson residence couldn't possibly compare to a feast prepared by the chef of a luxury steakhouse, but what it lacked, it made up for in warmth and coziness. Julian and the Thompsons all sat around the table and chatted happily without feeling any awkwardness at all.Just like he did at lunch, Julian continued to serve Angela throughout the meal. This time, she was a lot more comfortable with this gesture and didn't keep thanking him for it.Seeing this, Sienna whispered to Graham, "He's a lot

All along, Angela assumed the venue for the rehearsal that Julian kept mentioning would be the hotel she'd previously booked for her wedding with Carl. However, upon arrival, she realized the majestic building before her couldn't possibly be that hotel.The hotel, which was located on its own private estate, was never on her shortlist in the first place.Feeling rather dazed, she remained seated in the front passenger seat. Seeing this, Julian said gently, "Since we're already here, don't you want to go in and take a look?"Evidently, he was the one who made the switch in venues.Humming in acknowledgment, Angela was just about to open the door when she saw Julian hurrying over to her side of the car to open it for her. He held his hand out like a gentleman and said, "Let's go."He waited patiently for her to place her hand in his before grasping it with just the right amount of pressure. The two entered the hotel ballroom looking like a loving couple.Although it was only the

Carl was outraged. To make Angela regret everything, he didn't even bother waiting until his swelling went down before he headed to the hospital to visit Lucy.Angela had snarkily said she hoped the two would have a baby together soon, hadn't she? Well, he was going to prove to her that she was the one who couldn't be without him, while he would have a far better life once he'd gotten rid of her.Lucy was pregnant, but her pregnancy was a little unstable, so she had to be hospitalized for better care. Carl decided to take a few photos of them together and flaunt their relationship.Brimming with self-confidence, Carl went to the VIP hospital room he'd booked for Lucy. He was just about to surprise her with his visit when he heard the sound of a man grunting and a woman moaning.The sounds weren't too loud, but he could tell they came from the VIP room—and the woman's voice belonged to Lucy!Furious, Carl was able to kick the door open in one go, even though it'd been locked from t

Countless miniature crystal lights hung from the ceiling, creating the look of a starry sky. Even the paintings on the walls were said to be the original masterpieces by famed artists.With her friends by her side, Angela made her way across the red carpet until she arrived in front of Fred.Fred's eyes were red with emotion as he took Angela by the hand and walked her down the aisle that was covered with rose petals. Once he led her over to Julian, he said in a shaky voice, "Please take good care of her from now on."With each movement conveying just how much he cherished her, Julian took Angela's hand and lifted her in his arms. All the guests exclaimed as they watched while he carried her bridal style up to the altar.The stairs that led up to the altar didn't prove to be an obstacle for him. He even made sure to hold the hem of her gown to make sure it didn't catch on anything.Angela instinctively wrapped her arms around his shoulders for support. In doing so, she caught her
