Chapter 46 The Wedding Of Luke Jenkins

• On the walk home, Susan glanced at Julian. He arched an eyebrow. "What is it?" His abrupt inquiry stunned Susan, and she finally responded quietly, "Today, Luke..." "Is only a miserable worm," Julian went on coolly, "and you handled it well today. I think he will stop bothering you. Susan let out a sigh and bowed her head. "What? Does your heart hurt? After giving it some thought, she candidly stated, "A little. I was depressed when I glanced at him. She couldn't help talking to Julian about this, even though she knew she shouldn't.
• She wanted someone to listen to her feelings right then. She expected Julian to be upset, but she was surprised when he looked at her and answered. When she noticed that he was not upset, she went on and quietly grumbled, "Madam Jenkins didn't actually accuse me of stealing the $100,000. However, why did she disparage Luke's and my past? That gave me the impression that something lovely from the past had been abruptly destroyed. I'm depressed about that. Susan expressed her sadness for the second time. Susan glanced at Julian in astonishment as the car abruptly came to a stop by the side of the road. Then he gave her a hug. "What are you doing?" Susan was taken aback.
• He gently remarked, "Since you're depressed, I'm lending you my shoulder to lean on." She continued to be perplexed as she gazed at his flawless side profile, and her heart began to warm up. As soon as she rested her head on his shoulders, she felt as if everything had improved. "I believe Luke will no longer come look for me, Julian. He and I are no longer together. No, we had already called it quits. Simply put, the door is shut more securely this time," Susan remarked softly. "Hmm" was Julian's only reply. She smiled and remarked, "Even though I'm a little sad, I find it relaxing." He caressed her hair without uttering a word.
