Chapter 104 Absent On Business

• Wholeheartedness was the only thing Susan Shelby ever desired in a romantic relationship. She would also decide to leave without a second thought if Julian Shaw had any regrets, even if he was only hesitant about their connection. She did not want him to vacillate; she wanted his whole affection. She didn't know if Julian could provide her such a connection. She still surrendered her heart to him, though. This was due to her desire to periodically put wagers as well as the fact that she just could no longer pretend to herself.
• Nevertheless, despite her suffering, Julian would decide to leave if he came to the conclusion that he still loved that person. That would be the last pride she had. Susan's look was serious; Julian's too. He grinned and gave Susan a tender glance. "Susie, it's possible that you'll be encountering a surprise after some time." What a dumb little girl she was. There was no such thing as a "love rival." She was the one and only person he loved from the start.
• In any case, their agreement was about to come of age. He resolved to give the woman some time to continue to be troubled by the concept. "What surprise is that?" Susan sulked. "Stop diverting away from the conversation topic!" Julian's eyebrows went up. "I don't need to change the subject of the discussion in the slightest. That's because what you said previously is completely irrelevant. If you ever have the guts to go, Susan, I'll have the guts to go with you." Susan couldn't decide if she should laugh or cry. This dude was really... But she couldn't help but feel calm and persuaded in her heart.
