Everyone here is an adult, and Julian understands Vera’s intentions. But right now, he really doesn’t have the heart for it. He just got divorced, he doesn’t have many thoughts. At this moment, he just wants to rest, and not think about anything else. Thinking , he suddenly felt grateful for agreeing to Ian’s invitation to go to PIH earlier today. Thinking this, Julian spoke up, "I promised Ian I’d meet him. You’re not feeling well, so you should head home and rest." Vera looked at Julian, pouting, "Brother Julian... are you really not making excuses? Or is Serena still on your mind?" Her eyes welled up with tears as she spoke defensively, "If you don’t want to be with me, then go find her. I think she would still be willing to be with you." Julian let out a long sigh and gently stroked Vera’s hair. "Vera, I’ve already divorced, that was my resolve and action." Julian looked at the tearful and wronged Vera, feeling helpless. He took out his phone to show Vera the message Ian had sent him earlier. "Let me adjust for a while, okay?" Julian reassured, "I think I need some time." After seeing Ian’s message, Vera appeared to feel very guilty. "I’m sorry," Vera whispered, "I thought..." "Enough, go and rest," Julian said softly as he squeezed Vera’s hand again. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel※fire.net Finally, Vera nodded. She opened the car door to get out, and standing at the door, she said seriously, "Brother Julian, I’ll wait for you." Her eyes slightly red, she continued, "Until I can’t wait anymore." Julian paused briefly without replying, only saying, "Go on home." Vera nodded and then headed back into the building. Behind her, Julian reversed his car out of the lot after seeing her enter the building. A moment later, Vera walked out again. Her previously pitiful expression had vanished. She watched Julian leave in his Aston Martin, her eyes filled with resentment. She saw Julian’s hesitation, and she hated it. Is he still unable to let go of Serena? She must think of a way to truly become Julian’s woman quickly and conceive his child. Otherwise, many things could get complicated. While Serena and Jasper Ford were in the dance floor, Ian sat idly in the private room waiting. He took out his phone and opened the chat with Clara. After calling Ian a rotten cucumber, Clara said goodbye and went to work as a salesperson at a second-hand luxury goods store. Ian had visited that store a few times after, but the last time he heard from the store owner that Clara was no longer working there; she had moved to another location to do sales. As a counter assistant. Ian found it odd that she changed jobs so quickly, only after a few days. Could it be poor sales performance? Previously, he had always supported her financially, and she spent her days buying handbags. He thought she’d come back obediently after facing some challenges, but she’s been exceptionally persistent this time. He had to admit, he was kind of missing her lately. Her feisty little temperament was exactly what he liked. Thinking it over, he sent her a message. Ian Yates: What have you been up to lately? Do you have enough money? Do you need me to come over and help with your business? Before long, she replied. Clara Huxley: Rotten cucumber, get lost! And sent an emoji of fiercely breaking a cucumber. Ian was both amused and annoyed. "What a stubborn little temper," Ian laughed and cursed affectionately. He definitely needed to find some time to see her. With this thought, Ian put his phone back in his pocket and leaned against the edge of the private room, sipping his drink while watching the dance floor below. As he drank, suddenly, it seemed like Ian couldn’t believe his eyes. He squinted for a closer look. This wasn’t good. If Julian saw her, he’d surely explode! Thinking this, Ian put down his glass and hurried out to check. But as soon as he stepped out, the door to the room next to his was opened. Bianca walked out with a smile, saying, "Quinn, while my brother is in the bathroom, I’ll go down and play with Serena. Do you want to join..." And then Bianca stopped short. "What are you doing here?" Bianca and Ian said simultaneously. Then, Ian stepped over and glanced into the private room. Inside, he saw several handsome guys performing art. They were dancing comically with a chubby guy. Ian’s face immediately darkened. Serena and Bianca came to PIH to drink and even invited a bunch of guys to join them! And they were dancing goofily! If Julian found out about this... "What are you doing!" Bianca yelled angrily, instantly wanting to shut the door. Ian stopped her from closing it, saying, "You and Serena come here to do this?" "Huh?" Bianca became spirited, "So what? Why does it matter to you? If you can come here, why can’t Serena and I?" Bianca and Ian had known each other since childhood. Their relationship was neither close nor distant, just acquaintances. Bianca often heard Serena mention, "Julian and Ian went out drinking." Ian heard Julian often say, "Bianca and Serena are inseparable, always coming up with bad ideas for her." Lately, this grumbling has increased a lot. Now they happened to meet here, making them enemies facing off. "Us men come here for drinking, compared to you?" Ian said angrily. "Why wouldn’t we be the same?" Bianca replied righteously, "Us girls want to dance with some cute guys!" "Unreasonable, I won’t say more. You can come if you want, just don’t bring Serena." Saying this, Ian quickly thought to find Serena. "Stop!" Bianca immediately grabbed Ian, "Don’t go disturbing Serena!" "Bianca!" Ian got angrier, and they started arguing right there. Elsewhere, Julian parked his car in the parking lot. Looking at the street scene outside, he felt somewhat lost. This day seemed particularly exhausting for him. He took out his phone for a look; it was already 9 PM. In just three more hours, this day would be over. Recalling Ian’s invitation, he got out of the car and headed inside PIH. Inside PIH, the music was heavy, with giant speakers booming. The lights flashed rhythmically, and the men and women in the dance floor were enjoying themselves. Julian walked past the dance floor, intending to head towards the rooms above. But during a quick sweep of his gaze, he seemingly saw someone he couldn’t believe. Julian slightly furrowed his brows, looking at the woman who was laughing and jumping among the crowd, almost unable to believe his eyes. She looked quite happy!
