After catching Leon Rockfell and his first love in bed for the fifth time,Julianne Cross’s world finally collapsed.

“You bitch!How long have you stalked on Leon and me?”Silvana dragged Julianne and jumped from the second floor with her.

Silvana only got minor injuries.It was unfortunately for Julianne who was three months pregnant.She had heavy bleeding and fainted after the fall.

Before losing consciousness,Julianne saw Leon run straight to his first love,Silvana Blake,without hesitation.At that moment,her heart completely broke.

When Julianne woke up in the hospital,she seemed like a different person.She no longer asked Leon to stay with her.She no longer sent him messages.

Even when she knew Leon was taking care of Silvana...the very woman that caused her baby's death,Julianne felt nothing.

Meanwhile Leon,who always told her to be understanding,now started to regret things.

***

In her hospital room,Julianne held the necklace that contained a resized ultrasound photo of her baby.In silence,she cried.

Due to her rare body condition,Julianne had to take injections for six months just to get pregnant.Then,Silvana had caused her baby’s death so quickly.Now,all that was left were the needle marks on her arms and the cold necklace her friend,Tiana Hills,had made for her.

Tiana felt deep sadness upon seeing Julianne's broken spirit.“I’ll call Leon.He must give you and your baby an explanation.Silvana can’t live longer anymore!”

Before Julianne could stop her,Tiana had hit the call button.“Do you even know what happened to your wife?You didn’t come to check-up on here in the past three days!What kind of man are you?”

Leon was silent for a moment.“Silvie is hurt too,you know?I can’t just leave her!”

Tiana cut him off coldly.“If you don’t show up today,then don’t bother to show up forever!”She then hung up.

Julianne sighed softly.“If Leon doesn’t want to come,don’t force him.I don’t care anymore.”

Her baby was gone along with her last hope.From now on,whatever Leon did,Julianne would not care.

Tiana held her hand tightly.“You've turned like this because of him!There's no way I'm going to ignore you!You used to be our proud and free little princess.Now you’re like a puppet.I really can’t stand it.”

Before meeting Leon,Julianne’s life at 20 was almost perfect.She came from a rich family,was beautiful and had a great personality.

One day,she fell in love at first sight with Leon,a car mechanic.She gave up her pride and chased after him.

Her parents became so angry and stressed that they both died of heart attacks on her wedding day.People called her“love-brained,”and her reputation fell to the ground.

Julianne,however,didn’t regret her decision.She gave Leon her love and her family’s money.She loved him blindly.

Now only 28 and married for five years,Julianne felt like a sixty-year old woman who had lost all passion for life.Only today did regret came for her.Julianne no longer had expectations for Leon,but everything was already too late.

At that moment,Leon finally came to the hospital.He walked into the room and saw Julianne’s pale and exhausted face.

His heart clenched in pain.“Jullie,are you okay?I came to see you.I couldn’t come yesterday because Silvana was badly hurt.Don't be mad.”

It was laughable that in truth,Silvana only got a twisted ankle.But in Leon’s heart,that was more important than Julianne’s miscarriage.If it were few weeks ago,Julianne would have gone mad and argued with him.

Now,she simply nodded calmly.“I understand.”

Leon froze for a moment.For the first time,his heart felt strangely empty.

“Tonight,I’ll stay with you.What do you want to eat?I’ll buy it for you.”

Leon sat down and looked carefully at Julianne.He noticed that she had lost a lot of weight.Her lips were pale and dry.

Compared to Silvana,Leon remembered how she looked healthy and rosy before leaving.Meanwhile,the current Julianne looked extremely weak.

“Jullie,I’ll order some chicken soup.It's good for your recovery.”

Leon quickly took out his phone,as if doing this could make up for his guilt.

To his surprise,Julianne refused coldly.“No need.I’m allergic to chicken.I can’t drink the soup.”

They had been married for five years,but Leon still didn’t remember what she was allergic to.

The air in the room became instantly awkward.Leon laughed nervously.“Then I’ll order beef soup.Sorry,my tongue just slipped!”

Julianne said nothing in response.

Seeing that things seemed to calm down,Tiana cleared her throat and prepared to leave.“Leon,remember what you once said.Take good care of Jullie.She just lost her baby.Don’t hurt her again,understand?”

Leon nodded.“Don’t worry about it.”

After everything that happened,Leon also felt uncomfortable.

On one hand,he knew he had wronged Julianne and their dead child.He wanted to make it up to her.

On the other hand,he felt even more attached to Silvana.In his mind,that woman was willing to jump off a building just to stay with him.In his heart,the balance still leaned toward Silvana.

Today,he decided to stay with his wife and act like a real husband.

“Jullie,I’m here.I’m not going anywhere.If you want anything,just tell me.”

Julianne didn't give much reaction.The reason was because Silvana just sent her a message:

[Do you think pretending to be sick can take Leon away from me?Today I’ll show you who is the most important in his heart.]

Julianne had never won against Silvana in Leon’s heart.

Sure enough,when the beef soup delivery had just arrived,Silvana walked in with a crutch.

Silvana looked at Leon with the most pitiful expression she could wear.“Lee,I’m hungry too.Jullie's beef soup smells so good.Can I have some first?”

Leon immediately felt a headache.Julianne was a clean freak.She would not share that soup with Silvana.

“If you want some,I’ll order another one for you.Don’t take hers,”he said.

Jealousy flashed in Silvana’s eyes.Then,she walked closer to Julianne.“Then let me feed you,Jullie.”

Silvana opened the bag and held the spoon toward Julianne.

At first,Julianne frowned,but she decided to play along.Suddenly,Silvana intentionally shook her hand and spilled the hot soup all over her own hand.The soup was still very hot.Silvana screamed in pain.Red blisters quickly appeared on her fair skin.

Anyone could see Silvana did it on purpose.But in Leon’s eyes,it was Julianne who had pushed Silvana's hand away.

Leon stood up angrily.“Enough!Why did you do that to her?I thought you had changed,but you were just looking for a chance to hurt Silvie again!”

Leon thought Julianne would explain or argue like before.But this time,Julianne was surprisingly calm.

She said,“First,I didn’t even touch her.She spilled the soup on her own.Second,if you want to defend her without caring about the truth,then go ahead.You don’t need to force a fake reason.”

Leon’s anger disappeared at once.He hesitated.“T-that’s not what I meant…”

However,Silvana started crying first.“Lee,it really hurts…”

Leon had no choice but to pick her up and take her to the doctor.

While laying on the hospital bed,Julianne gave a bitter smile to herself.She already knew that Leon would always choose Silvana as long as that woman was around.

Julianne pressed the call button and asked the nurse to clean up the beef soup on the floor.Then,she ordered some food for herself before closing her eyes to rest.

Yet,her mind couldn’t stop thinking about the five years she spent with Leon.

In the beginning,she didn’t know Leon had a first love.She only knew that he came from a rich family before it went bankrupt.He became a car mechanic afterward.He also dropped out of school early because he couldn’t afford the tuition.

Julianne taught him many things and found that Leon was very interested in computers.She even hired experts to teach him and helped him become one of the best computer experts in the Great Capitol.

Just after Leon won a big computer competition and became famous,his first love,Silvana,came back.She had a terminal illness.Her family was gone and Leon was her only“support”.

That day,Leon locked himself in the room for a long time.Then he told Julianne that he had to stay with Silvana for the rest of her life.

From then on,whenever Silvana felt unwell,Leon would go to her.He even bought an apartment nearby just to care for Silvana.That woman became more and more dependent on Leon.She kept posting photos of the two of them online.Finally,they couldn’t control themselves and slept together.

The first time Julianne found out about their affair was on her birthday.She invited many people to celebrate at home.When she turned on the lights,she saw Leon and Silvana was tangled together on the sofa.

Leon knelt down naked and begged for forgiveness.“If you’re angry,be angry at me.Don’t hurt her.I couldn’t control myself.”

Unfortunately,Julianne couldn’t bring herslef to punish him.

After crying alone for three days,she made Leon sign a promise to never see Silvana again.She swallowed her pain and got back together with him.

The second time she caught them,she made Leon sign an agreement that he would leave with nothing if he betrayed her again.Then,the third time,the fourth time,Julianne wasn't brave enough to leave.

Leon slowly realized that Julianne would never leave him.So he became even more fearless and bold.Now that things had reached this point,it was all because Julianne had spoiled him.

Just then,the food delivery arrived and broke her thoughts.

She slowly ate red bean soup,feeling bitter inside.

Leon didn’t like red beans,so after getting married,Julianne rarely ate them.No one knew that red beans used to be her favorite food.

After finishing her meal,Julianne took out her phone and called her grandfather.She hadn't contacted him for a long time.

“Grandpa Finn,I regret it.I’ve decided to divorce Leon.Blue Tech will go public in the stock market within seven days.I want you to help me take back my position as the main director.”

Finnick Cross was the biggest shareholder Blue Tech under the Cross Enterprises.In the past,Julianne didn't want to hurt Leon’s pride,so she gave up being the director.

Julianne now understood that Leon didn’t deserve her thoughts.What belonged to her,she would take them all back.

Her grandfather’s voice choked on the phone.“You finally woke up from that nightmare.At least you were done from being fooled.This time,you must not regret your divorce,or I won’t help you anymore.”

Suddenly,two messages appeared on her phone.They were from Silvana.They were photos of Leon gently applying medicine for her.

Julianne’s heart became even more determined.“Don’t worry,Grandpa.I won’t disappoint you again.”

She truly didn’t want Leon anymore.Leon had already signed the divorce papers before.Julianne only needed to submit them.

Once the call was over,she then closed her eyes in relief.Finally,everything was about to end.

This time, she's going to take back everything she's lost!
