All Chapters of All the Distance Between Us: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Once they were gone, Zara could no longer hold back. She raised her hand and slapped Julian hard across the face.The slap split the corner of Julian’s lip, and blood began to seep out. He did not get angry and simply wiped the blood away.“You’ve seen everything, so I won’t hide it from you anymore. Yes, I cheated on you. Be angry at me all you want. Just don’t go after her. She’s pregnant, and she can’t be under any stress right now. Do you understand?”He used to say, “Zara, you’ll be the only person I love the most. I swear that even if we have to be in a long-distance relationship, I’ll never betray you or cheat on you.”Yet he admitted so casually that he had cheated on her. He even told her not to cause a scene in front of the other woman.Zara laughed. Then, she started crying.“Julian, tell me, why?! What did I do wrong? How did I fail you? Why would you do this to me? If you don’t love me anymore, why couldn’t you just tell me? Why did you have to hurt me by cheating on

Julian did not come home all night, and Zara spent the entire night packing her things.At dawn, Zara was about to get some sleep when Julian returned home.He stormed in and looked furious.Zara frowned. She had not even had time to taunt him about becoming a father or ask how he felt about it when he grabbed her and yanked her off the bed.“Zara, why did you have to call Zoey the other woman? Do you know she locked herself in her hospital room? She won’t even take the baby! You’re coming to the hospital with me right now. You’re going to apologize to her!”Zara sneered. “She is the other woman. I didn’t say anything wrong. Why should I apologize to her?”“Get her to the hospital. Now!”Julian gave the order, and two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and forced Zara into the car.The car sped all the way to the hospital. Zara had not even reached the hospital room when she heard the baby crying.Ruby stood outside the door with the baby in her arms. “Zoey, stop this. The

Zoey was not discharged from the hospital until the next day, so Julian asked Ruby to take Zara home and show her around.Zara kept a cold look on her face and did not say a word the entire way.Ruby was the one who finally broke the silence.“Zara, please don’t blame me. I’m Julian’s secretary, so I have to do what he tells me. I knew about Julian and Zoey from the very beginning, but I couldn’t tell you. If I had, I would’ve lost my job.”Zara still did not say anything. They were no longer her friends, so there was nothing left to say to each other.The car finally stopped in front of a mansion that Zara had never been to before.The first thing she saw when she got out was a yard full of hydrangeas. They were her favorite flowers.She walked inside and saw that every detail in the living room looked exactly like what she had once imagined.Even the paintings on the walls were ones she had mentioned to Julian before.“Julian actually planned to give this mansion to you, but

Newborns mostly eat and sleep, so the baby was easy to take care of.Once the new nanny took over the baby’s care, Zoey had an easy life.Julian spoiled her. He even cooked chicken soup for her.He also sent her different gifts every day.Only a few days after giving birth, Zoey had enough gifts to fill the entire room.The servants often talked about how lucky she was.“Ms. Ramsey is so young, and she’s already about to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich man’s wife. She even had his baby. She skipped so many of life’s hardships.”“Exactly! Just look at how much Mr. Sterling spoils her. She gets the finest supplements, and all her clothes are limited editions. Even a little pair of earrings costs a fortune!”“Compared to her, Mr. Sterling’s ex-wife really wasn’t as lucky…”Zoey smiled smugly when she heard that.She went into the study and turned on Julian’s computer.There was a folder on the desktop called “True Love.” It contained all the photos Julian and Zara

“You’re crazy!”Zoey had heard enough. She snatched the baby from the nanny and turned toward the stairs.The servant blocked her way and refused to let her go upstairs.Zoey had no idea what to do when Julian finally returned.When Julian saw Isla, he greeted her. “Mom.”“You got back pretty quickly.”Isla gave him a cold look. She picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip without saying a word.“I heard you divorced Zara because you wanted to marry this woman.”“Mom, this has nothing to do with Zoey. She didn’t know I was married when we got together.”Julian stood up straight. His voice was firm. “I’m the one at fault. I’m the one who cheated on Zara. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don’t take it out on her.”“She didn’t know you were married?”Isla looked at her son in disappointment. He was decisive and ruthless in business, yet he could be incredibly naive when it came to other things.“She knew you were married from the very beginning. She knew it fr
