Chapter 600 A Naughty Offer: Ep4
- Julia had liked Shelly a lot. She had encouraged and supported the two teenagers, happy to see them happy and gladdened by the positive effect that Shelly had on her son. Thanks to Shelly, Mike had really matured emotionally, becoming more confident about himself and relaxed around women. Julia was well aware of the sexual aspect of their relationship, and she did nothing to impede it. She never had anything against Shelly and Mike being alone together in his room. She actually preferred knowing that the two of them were having sex under her roof rather than in the backseat of Mike's car somewhere.
- Julia didn't want Mike nor Shelly to think that sex was something to hide or be ashamed of. When she had the birds and bees talk with Lyla and Lori first, and then later with Mike, she had tried to explain things in a direct and honest way, without hypocrisy, focusing on the emotional importance of sex in a person's well-being. Julia considered sex to be a natural and beautiful experience and she wanted her daughters and her son to live it joyfully, without guilt.
- She tried not to be too dramatic about Mike's situation, but as the days passed and he just kept getting worse, Julia seriously began to fear for her son. He was depressed all the time, his grades were plummeting and he was a wreck, physically and psychologically. Beside crying and lying catatonic on his bed, the only thing that he seemed to be interested in these days was masturbation.
