Chapter 637 - Six Hundred And Thirty-Seven: Julie Is Not Irreplaceable (1/2)

The third point of view:

”I tried all I could and yet I couldn't make it on time and you know that all I was going to do was apologize to you! But you didn't even give me the chance to do so!” He yelled at her as if he wanted those words to sink into her head.

”Because I don't want to!” Anabelle retorted, ”I'm so sick and tired of your apologies that I don't want them anymore!”

”What do you want then?” His face was furious, this was the first time they were having a serious fight. Every other tome, Anabelle had been understanding until now.

He went on, ”If you don't want my apology, what then, Anabelle? For me to get down on my knees for forgiveness?” He gestured mockingly, ”Or perhaps, a slap in the face would satisfy you?” He took her hand and raised it to his face.

”Slap me then if that would appease your anger, I would take it,” He incited her, ”Come on, Annabelle! Do it!”

”I just want you to take action!” Anabelle screamed and shoved him on the chest.

”And you think I was doing nothing?! How could you even think that I missed your show on purpose, Anabelle?!” He asked her.

”Well, you tell me? All I want is your presence yet that is the one thing you fail to give me. It's as if we're growing apart and I don't want it anymore. I just want you, Julie! Is that too hard to ask?!” Anabelle said, her eyes tearing up. This wasn't the Julie she knew and the relationship she dreamed of and it was hurting her.

A lump formed in Julie's throat as he saw the tears roll down Anabelle's beautiful face. If Eden knew he made his daughter cry, he would definitely hang him upside down by his thing.

”I just want us to go back to the old times, Julie,” she pleaded.

”God, I'm sorry,” He ran his hand through his hair, feeling the guilt rise to the surface. He thought that keeping her safe was all that mattered, but now it seems he hurt her in the process.

Anabelle hung Julie tighter, she was really afraid to lose him. She had invested so much in this relationship - her emotion and time - to let it go to waste. Moreover, she loved Julie too much. If it wasn't him, it wouldn't be anyone else.

”I'm so sorry, Anabelle,”

With Anabelle leaning on his shoulder, Julie ran his hand through her hair soothingly. He let his fear of losing her nearly ruin his relationship. They stood in that position for a while until a certain person came to mind.

”So,” He started, his hands absent-mindedly rubbing circles on her back, ”About that Alec,”

”Hmm,” Anabelle glanced up without losing contact with him, ”What about Alec?” she knew Julie was jealous and now, her head was clear and free from anger, she decided to tease him a little.

”How do you two know each other?” Julie inquired as he hadn't looked into the man's background thoroughly.

”He's the owner of Suez, the brand I showcased their collection. So you can say that we met through work,” Anabelle answered.

”That's all?”

”Yeah, that's all,” Anabelle pretended to be oblivious to the real question that was really on his mind. She tilted her head to the side, asking, ”Why do you ask?”

”Nothing,” Julie said abruptly.

Anabelle laughed inwardly at his lie, he was kind of cute being jealous and she wasn't done with him.

”Well...” she trailed off.

Julie's raised a brow questioningly, ”Well?”
