Chapter 575

This would allow them to move on to the next step. Otherwise, they would always remain stagnant.

Thinking about this, Julian felt a headache coming on.

He raised his hand and patted Tessa’s back, his voice softening, “Alright, don’t be too upset. You’ve already done well with everything.”

Tessa raised her face and looked at Julian. In her eyes, Julian seemed to radiate light.

“Julian, is everything you said true?”

Julian swore seriously, “Of course it’s true. How could I ever lie to you about something like this? There’s no need to! We are definitely going to be together, facing everything together. It’s all a normal part of life. Why are you so surprised?”

At that moment, there was nothing in Tessa’s eyes except for Julian. To her, Julian looked like a glowing hero. Even though his words were a bit harsh right now, she could fully tolerate it.

“No, Julian, how could I not trust you? I just think you’re truly wonderful!”

Tessa hugged Julian tightly, unwilling to let go.

Julian was momentarily caught off guard by Tessa’s enthusiasm. He smiled softly. “Don’t worry, Tessa, I’ll definitely treat you well. Just trust me and let yourself go.”

Upon hearing this, Tessa didn’t respond. She knew Julian too well. His words were a mix of truth and half-truths. Even though he said the right things, it was another matter entirely.

Moreover, even if they had been through certain things, Julian would still find ways to avoid facing reality. Tessa truly understood what kind of person Julian was. If she were to marry him, Tessa would definitely think it through again. But she knew when to speak properly and when to speak vaguely. Now, facing Julian, Tessa was certainly a different person.

After calming down, Tessa started dialing her mother. She couldn’t just watch as Lucas took Aurora away.

Julian noticed her intentions and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you really think this will work?”

“How would we know if we don’t try? Mom is definitely worried about Aurora, and Lucas doesn’t care about her well-being at all. Mom will definitely be upset about that.” Tessa was confident about this.

Seeing her so confident, Julian chose not to say anything else and respected her decision.

Chapter 875

Tessa called Grace directly. After a while, Grace finally answered.

“Tessa, why are you calling?” Grace seemed surprised. “Shouldn’t you be at the company? Did something happen at the company?”

That didn’t seem right. If there was an issue at the company, she would have received the information right away. So, Tessa must have something else on her mind.

Mentioning the company made Tessa angry. That useless executive had followed them over, but didn’t contribute anything. He might as well have joined the others in criticizing her.
