Leaving You Bereft (Willow and Julian) novel Chapter 170

Melanie left the hospital and headed home. As soon as she got out of the car, she asked Noah, “Where’s Liam?”

He had to hold back his laughter when he saw the state she was in te pointed at the study and said, “He’s speaking with Mr. Tyler.”

Melanie couldn’t care less about her appearance at the moment. Her grandchild was all that mattered.

Tyler and Liam were discussing work in the second–floor study over some tea. Julian would be gone for two months, and there was a lot of work at the company to be dealt with. Someone had to take the reins, and Liam wanted Tyler to go into the office.

As they talked, Melanie barged into the room, looking unkempt and disheveled. As soon as she entered, she cried, “Liamn!”

He was startled. He stared at her for a long time before saying, “People would think you were newly widowed with the way you look.”

Only then did Melanie notice Tyler. She was a little embarrassed as she said, “Oh, you’re here too, Tyler.”

She tidied her hair before saying to Liam, “I have good news. Willow is pregnant.”

“What?” He shot to his feet. “What about Julian? He’s gone abroad What are we going to do?”

Tyler found the situation challenging, too.

Melanie held her head high and kept them in suspense as she picked up Liam’s cup of tea and sipped it. “I had Lewis

immediately take me to the airport when I learned the news so I could stop Julian. You have no idea how risky things were earlier –he was already at the security checkpoint! Thank God I managed to catch him.”

She led smug as she spoke. Liam stepped forward to hold her hand, looking delighted. “Good job!”

Tyler complimented her too. “You were quick on your feet, Melanie.”

She couldn’t help looking even more smug.

Liam strode out of the study, looking pleased as he stood before the railing on the second floor. He looked down at Sebastian and said, “Dad’s mourning period is over, so it’s time to change the decorations. Put up some cheery ones so we can celebrate Julian becoming a father!”

Sebastian was happy to hear that. Soon, the Ziegler residence was decorated festively. There were bright colors everywhere.

Liam and Tyler even paid their respects to Dominic and told him the good news. Once they were done, everyone discussed heading to the Chapman residence to make a formal apology. Naturally, they had to prepare gifts.

Melanie was already doting on her grandchild and picked the best items from the storeroom to be given to Willow to boost her health. Even Karen added a few things instead of getting jealous.

Dusk approached, and crimson clouds drifted across the sky. A convoy of black luxury vans slowly pulled into the Chapman

residence.

As soon as the cars stopped, Melanie clapped a hand over her mouth and tried to hold back her tears. She saw Julian on his knees outside the manor.

It wasn’t convenient for Timothy to be around, so he was hiding. Meanwhile, Heather was venting her anger on Julian. She not only berated him but also his family.

It had rained that afternoon, but Julian hadn’t budged from where he was. His shirt was soaked from the rain and clung to him. There were still water droplets that hung from his handsome face.
