Like a considerate and gentle husband, Bill, along with Vivian, drove Julie back to the Smith mansion.

Along the way, he didn't even once blame Julie for misunderstanding him. On the contrary, he spoke generously, trying his best not to complicate things further.

Even Vivian seemed to act unusually sweet, following her father's Lead. She knew that right now, not saying anything reckless would be the best thing to do.

But when Julie finally got off the car, Vivian said in an almost sobbing tone, “Mom, how can you abandon me?"

These words touched the softest part of Julie's heart, making it ache a lot.
