“Well, Julian caught her red–handed.”

“Julian doesn’t love Willow, though. I don’t think he’ll make a fuss about it.”

Julian leaned back against a couch placed in a corner of the room. With his black attire, it was as though he had blended in with

the darkness.

Even in a place like that, Julian exuded an air of refinement. He seemed like he could be a celestial being who would never be

tainted by matters of the mortal world.

Julian fixed Willow, who was standing at the door, with an intense gaze.

It was obvious that she had dressed up for the occasion.

Willow was wearing a greyish–blue satin dress with a fitted waistline, a pearl necklace around her neck, and a pair of diamond

earrings. She also paired her outfit with a handbag and a watch of matching colors.

She looked both elegant and feminine.

No one knew exactly when it was that Willow had started showing these changes.

She started showing this alluring side of her. Men were mesmerized by her presence and every move, including Julian. However,

Julian felt that those were just the effects of hormones and had nothing to do with emotions like love.

As soon as he took care of this primal urge, Julian was certain the attraction he felt toward Willow would fade away as well.

He cast a glance at Willow’s hands. She was holding a beautifully wrapped gift box. It was obviously a gift she had gotten for

Jeffrey’s birthday…

“So, she was getting a gift for Jeffrey. It wasn’t for me!” Julian thought.

The joy of having seen her the day before vanished instantly at that moment. Julian’s eyes hardened. He was looking at Willow as

if she was the wife who had cheated on him.

There was a strained atmosphere in the room…

Eventually, Natalie braced herself and stepped forward to welcome Willow. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t know Julian would show up here today. He’s never attended Jeffrey’s birthday parties before. He’s always said that they were boring.”

Willow did not blame her.

Moreover, she could not even be bothered with how Julian would feel. The two of them would soon be officially separated. Willow

None of them noticed how the man sitting in a corner of the room had an icy look in his eyes. Still, he maintained an unreadable expression on his face. Julian drew on his cigarette and stared at Willow with a stony gaze.
