Chapter 796

Julian could only back off when he saw Katherine’s reaction. However, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

When Linda saw Julian, she quickly headed toward him. Valerie felt a headache coming on when she saw the three of them gathered in one spot. It was as if she had arrived at a battlefield. She also felt a little awkward.

There was a moment of awkwardness. Valerie could not stand it anymore and finally broke the silence.

““Juhan, Linda, I haven’t thanked you two for helping out previously. Why don’t I treat all of you to a meal? If it weren’t for you two, Mathew wouldn’t have returned so quickly.”

Landa smiled at Valerie. “It’s nothing. You’re Julian’s sister so Matlaw is also family. It’s no trouble at all?

“But it’s a big deall to us. As they say, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Wakanda is so dangerous. I’m sure it’s not easy get bark”

Valerie then tugged at Julian’s arm. Julian, why don’t you join us? I haven’t eaten yet either.

ay for you

you guys to help Mathew

Julian accepted the invitation. Katherine could not refuse either. If she did not join them, she would appears Thus, she went along with Valerie’s suggestion mutely. It was just a meal anyway. It was no big deal.

r somewhat petty.

The whole group then headed to a private dining room in a restaurant nearby. As she glanced at Linda’s protruding belly, Katherine forced herself to smile. “Congratulations! I didn’t expect you to get pregnant so quickly. I wish the two of you happiness. When the child is born in the future, you

Although she knew that Linda and Julian would return to Sueca eventually, she still had to exchange the usual pleasantries.

Unfortunately, Katherine’s words made the atmosphere awkward, Julian glanced at Katherine and their eyes met. Katherine tried to calm herself down and smiled at julian.

Julian looked away. Linda expressed her thanks as she glanced at Julian. However, the man did not say anything

Katherine pretended to casually look in Julian’s direction. When she saw him giving a deep sigh silently, she could not help feeling a little heanachie

Nonetheless, she still pretended to be indifferent

Linda’s pregnancy was already so obvious. It seemed that Julian and Linda had already engaged in intimacy before they got engaged, Katherine gave a bitter smile. This was not surprising. After all, they had already confirmed their relationship.

Katherine subconsciously touched her belly. She felt even more determined to give birth to the child. After that, she and Julian would remain far apart and never trouble each other again

Valerie noticed everything and could not help sighing deeply Julian was too ridiculous. She did not expect her brother to move so quickly. He had only been with Linda for a short while yet the pregnancy was already so advanced

Originally, Valerie wanted him to make things clear with Katherine, but now, she could not say anything anymore.

She did not know where to start either. Initially, she wanted to separate Julian and Linda, but after pondering for a while, she decided not to. After all, the children were innocent.

Valerie sighed inwardly again. She glanced at Katherine’s lower abdomen and silently looked away.

The four of them were engrossed in their own thoughts during the meal. Valerie scooped up another serving of creamy onion soup for Katherine. “Katherine, have more nourishing soup! Julian, you too.”

After Valerie served Julian the soup. Julian smiled and did the same for Linda

When Katherine saw that, she could not help feeling jealous. Then, she stopped herself. What right did she have to be jealous!

With a heavy hram, she took a sip of soup but instantly, her stomach churned. She quickly covered her mouth and dashed out. “Katherine!” Valerie put down her cutlery and went after her.

Katherine rushed to the washroom and retched. As Valerie followed right behind her, she wondered, ‘Is this a reaction caused by morning s

After vomiting for a long time until her stomach finally felt empty, Katherine rinsed her mouth.

Valerie apologized profusely. I’m sorry, l’in sorry y. I didn’t give due consideration.”

sickness?

“It’s fine. It’s all my fault. I didn’t expect my appetite to be so bad. I’ll just eat something light later. By the way, Valerie, you mustn’t tell Julian Valerie’s heart ached terribly: “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything recklessly at a time like this”

Katherine felt very relieved. As soon as she emerged from the washroom, she saw Julian with a worried expression. Katherine did not talk to him but Julian rushed up to her and asked, “What’s wrong! Are you feeling unwell‘ It’s better to go to the hospital for a checkup!”

Katherine immediately objected. “No need. It’s just th

after drinking some warm water.

my stomach isn’t feeling too well and I ate too quickly. Let’s go back. I should feel better

She led Valerie back to the private dining room. Linda also appeared very concerned

Katherine made some excuse and then drank the clear broth. She felt better this time. Julian was relieved to find that she was fine now and returned

to his scat.

Julian had been too anxious. When he saw Katherine covering her mouth and rushing out, his heart skipped a beat. He instinctively followed her and forgot that Linda was still here.

Fortunately, Linda smiled and reassured him. She was not bothered at all.

After the meal, Valerie thanked Linda again before leaving with Katherine,

As the two of them walked off, Linda looked at Julian. “Aren’t you going to go after her? That’s the girl you like. From the looks of it, she seems to have feelings for you too.

“It’s clear that you care about her and that’s why you were so anxious earlier. Aren’t you going to explain it to her now? Why don’t I tell her then? Anyway, the child in my belly isn’t yours. We’re only getting married in name.”

Julian could only give a bitter laugh. “It’s too late. She has a new life too. I won’t trouble her anymore. Now that your family is embroiled in internal strife, you need me the most. I will continue to be a husband–in–name to you. As for her, forget it. We’re not fated to be together.”

The way Katherine looked at him just now was so cold. No matter how dim–witted julian was, he could tell that Katlserine really wanted a break with him

d a clean

Linda took a deep breath after listening to him. “Julian, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, things wouldn’t have developed to this point.” Linda reminisced about the time she was overseas a few months ago. She had a wild fling one night with some stranger when she was drunk. However, she did not know who the other party was, so she did not take it seriously.

After all, it was only one night. When she woke up, she was in a daze. The to the pressing circumstances then, she had left in a hurry. She did not even know what the other person looked like.

Later on, her family fought for power. Though she was a member of the family, she was quickly marginalized. If no one helped her, she would lose the chance to become a core member of the family completely.

God knew how anxious Linda was at that juncture. After that, she met Julian. She then realized that she needed a marriage to consolidate her position

That was why she was bold enough to pursue Julian. Wasn’t it just a marriage Julian was responsible and gentlemanly. He was the most suitable candidate for marriage. That was why she pursued Julian all the way here.

However, Julian had never accepted her overtures. At first, Linda thought that she was not attractive enough. Later, when she saw Katherine, she realized that Julian already had someone else in his heart.

Linda thought that Julian was truly a faithful man, She sighed inwardly, wondering why she did not have the fortune of meeting such a good mari
