“What’s complicated? Explain it to met Talk to me!” I begged.
“We,” she said, taking a step back from me. “You know that would never work. It’s better this way.
Each of us in our
“Better for whom?” I asked, turning her to face me, “Look at me, Julia I’ve been suffering like hell without you, and it’s only been a week, which seemed like an eternity to me.”
“William…” she tried to speak, but I pulled her arm, causing her to slam into my chest, I felt my body tingle from her being so close.
“Tell me, Julia, did you miss me too? Or was I the only one in love in this relationship? I asked, desperately. I felt like I lost my girl.
“…” A tear ra
ran down her eye, making me feel like the worst person in the world because I knew I was the reason. I kissed his tears away and caressed his face.
“Don’t cry, my love,” I whispered.
I missed you,” she confessed softly. I wanted to hug her and erase all this longing that crushed my chest, but I preferred to wait for her to speak: “I missed you, missed your hugs, your kisses, and your perfect care. I realized constantly how much the longing hurts, how horrible it is to be away from you like this, and you, patiently calling me, running after me, waiting for me.”
“And why do you want to push me away?” I ask, trying to understand what’s going on in her head.
“You’re going to be a father. She tried to pull away, but 1 held her body even closer to mine. “I heard your conversation with Angeline’s father… I don’t want our families to suffer because of us.”
*Your problem is with money,” I asked incredulously.
“No, it’s not that

“I understand, fulis.” I took a step back, heading towards the door to leave the bathroom, but stopped, turning to face her again. “Money isn’t everything in life. Julia. I would give my entire fortune for you without a second thought.”
“You don’t understand.” She reached up, trying to take my hand, but 1 pulled away.
“I’m sure I didn’t misunderstand. But go ahead, explain it to me,” I asked.
Kiss me
“You made it clear to my father that you wouldn’t usury Angeline because you were in love with someone else, who I assume is me, she recounted, and I nodded “So, if we’re together, there are so many cons… First, my father would never accept it. Second, I dont want your child to grow up without a family. Third, I don t want you all to lose everything. I feel selfish, thinking only of myself.”
“Júlia, first, I would face the world for you. Second, I’ve said a million times that I dont know if this child is mine, but if it is, I’ll take responsibility, care for, and protect them, but for that, I don’t need to be together with the mother. Third, I don 1 care about losing everything as long as, in the end, I have you. Because with you, I would have everything.”
Julia’s eyes were teary, and mine weren’t much different.
“You say you don’t want to be selfish and think only of yourself. But are you thinking of me? Of course not. You’re only thinking about yourself and, of course, the money we might lose.”
“Don’t say that,” she pleaded in a choked voice.
“Honestly, I don’t know anything anymore… We were fine, and suddenly you m

I raise my hand to caress her tear–streaked face.
