The conversation didn't last too long, but for some reason it made quite an impression. Jonathan didn't usually talk about his feelings, let alone at such length. Bill felt like he was really his son. Technically, Bill was the man's biological son, but in terms of his role, it was clear that he was still very far away--or rather Bill felt that there was still a distance that might be due to their past history. Bill said goodbye to Jonathan to go home. "I'll talk to your grandfather about this later," Jonathan told Bill. "But, don't expect more. You know how stubborn your grandfather is." Just hearing that made Bill feel good. At least Jonathan shared some of his views. "All right, Dad. Thank you," Bill said.Afterward, Bill actually left the mansion. He returned to his apartment late at night. In his apartment room, Bill was still thinking about the conversation with Julie and Diana. Bilk understood that Jonathan's intention was only to share his feelings of longing for the two
Julie's cursing voice attracted the attention of several people who passed by them. Bill felt his stomach twist and wanted to disappear right now. However, he realized that this kind of swearing was not the first time in his life. He'd gotten a lot of abuse from people he even loved in the past. Bill's throat felt dry. He wanted to retaliate, but there wasn't a single word he could get out even with his mouth open. Julie was probably right, Bill should never have come to the Rainer family. In fact, he didn't-Bill was forced to come by Ryan, even in an unethical way. "You know what? Your existence is a disaster for me and my son! It's enough that your mother took my husband in the past! Enough of that dead woman making my past a hell for me!" Julie was still cursing Bill at will.Bill clenched his hands into fists. It was very painful, but he didn't know what to do now. Should he apologize? But Bill couldn't figure out where he went wrong. Was the fact that his mother was a home wrec
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Julie, who had been reluctant to look at the man, now had a worried look in her eyes. It was a natural reaction that could not be hidden even though anger had previously enveloped. "What did you say?" Diana asked to make sure.Bill dropped his gaze down, staring at the floor he was standing on. "I can't be sure how Grandpa is doing right now." Bill wasn't exactly lying, as he hadn't had a chance to ask Jonathan about it. "I hope he's doing well now."Julie clenched her hands into fists. She looked the other way so that the puddle of tears in her eyes would not be noticed by Bill. Julie did harbor great anger and disappointment towards Ryan, but that didn't mean her sympathy and compassion had completely eroded. After all, she had lived with her father-in-law for more than thirty years, and she had been treated well and loved like a daughter. Julie's departure from the mansion was not out of hatred, but rather a sense of disappointment that she h
Bill returned to his apartment with some relief. Although he didn't know if Julie and Diana would really agree to the offer he made, but at least Bill had tried to provide a middle ground for all of them. In addition, Bill was also relieved that he had told Julie about Ryan's situation.Before Bill had time to clean up, Bill's apartment bell rang. It was Joana who came to meet him. She was standing with something in her hand when Bill opened the door."Hi, Jo. Come on in." Bill invited Joana to come in.Joana entered and frowned slightly when she saw Bill's dirty clothes."I brought you dinner. I cooked too much spaghetti. I thought we'd better eat together," Joana said."Oh, what a coincidence that I haven't had dinner yet. Thank you so much for being so considerate." Bill replied with a happy face. After his mood had been frantic all day because of Julie and Diana, the attention given by Joana at this time was really a solace for him. "You just got home, huh?" asked Joana looking a
Meanwhile, Julie and Diana were seen in their apartment discussing Bill's offer."It's hard to trust that kid," Julie said. She didn't agree with Diana who asked her to just agree.The mother-daughter duo were still debating about the deal Bill was offering. For Julie, as tempting as the offer was, it didn't make sense. It was precisely because Bill didn't seem the least bit interested in the Rainer family that Julie felt reluctant to trust him one hundred percent. "I understand, Ma. But, we can try to trust him. After all, I'm the one who will take care of the agreement. I'll make sure that Bill won't cheat us." Unlike Julie, Diana felt that this was a great opportunity. After all, there was a slight change in her view of Bill. "You can trust Bill that easily?" Julie looked at her son in disbelief."Who said that?" Diana smiled a little. "I don't fully trust him. That's why I'll be in charge of the agreement.""What if he does something untoward halfway through?" Julie still looked
"Well, it's not a problem for me." Ryan answered as if it was nothing.The man who was previously going to be matched with Diana, turned out to have a bad side that even Ryan himself did not believe in. Although initially Ryan was worried about the loss he would get if the match was canceled, now there was nothing to disturb his mind at all. "That bastard," he said again with a quiet rush of breath. "He doesn't deserve to be with my granddaughter." Earlier, Ryan had estimated the loss he would incur, but after it happened it turned out to be no worse than he had imagined. So, Ryan wasn't bothered about it anymore. "Tell Diana she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore." Ryan said to Julie.Julie was relieved to hear it, but on the other hand she was also a little furious. Why didn't Ryan make an effort to cancel Diana's engagement to that asshole if it wasn't a problem. "Okay. Thank you, Father." Although a little annoyed, Julie still thanked him with a faint smile.Ryan rep
As promised, the letter containing the agreement between Bill and Diana was all taken care of by Diana herself and Julie. Bill did not intervene at all during the drafting."I wonder about him. Is she really that stupid?" Julie was still in her apartment with Diana. While her daughter was preparing everything she would bring for the signing. "It's not something you need to think about all the time. After all, I have made this agreement in such a way." Diana smiled. Julie picked up the envelope containing the letter. She read it again and this was the fourth time she had done so. "It's exactly what we expected," Julie muttered. "But I didn't let this happen because I trusted Bill." Actually, the contents of this letter were enough to test how serious Bill was about his decision. If it turned out that he was just pretending, it would be obvious later."I know, Ma. That's why I'm also really trying not to make Mama regret it. But so far, Bill doesn't seem to be showing any strange si
"It makes no sense! That kid is really weird. How could he sign this agreement without even reading it? Is he out of his mind?" Julie was still babbling even though she was now inside her apartment. She should have been happy that Bill signed the agreement without much drama. Instead, Julie felt as if Bill was playing a trick on her."Never mind, Mom. Everything has gone according to what we wanted. Why are you feeling upset and angry like that?" Diana tried to comfort her mom and calm her down. To be honest, she also felt strange about Bill's actions, but of course Diana didn't want to take it too far. As long as the mission went smoothly, it didn't matter."I felt like he was mocking me in front of our lawyer earlier. It's obvious that the boy is playing us, Diana!" Julie still insisted on her thoughts."Mom, please calm down. If indeed he is trying to play us, then we must not be provoked. Instead, we have to master the battlefield, don't we?" Diana said again.Julie let out a long
