Chapter 428: Chapter 407: So he... has always been loving her!

After a pause, Michael Gordon continued, "So he’s afraid that you’ll do something foolish to get a divorce, like sleeping with another man without being pregnant, and make him wear a cuckold’s hat!"

"Thunk!"

Julie Harrison’s spoon fell straight to the floor with a clear sound. Her eyes widened in horror as she looked at him, her pale face expressing the fact that, in his heart, she was such a person!

She loved a man for so many years but couldn’t have him, and no moment was as heartbreaking as this. Love being betrayed was something that couldn’t be helped, but when her character was betrayed, it only meant that Julie Harrison had failed as a person.

At this moment, Julie was genuinely glad she wasn’t pregnant; otherwise, the child’s innocence would have been questionable!

The blow had never been so significant, and her heart suddenly died!

"Looking at your face, you must not be pregnant!" Michael Gordon looked at her with a furrowed brow, sighed, then continued, "Don’t think of yourself as this kind of person in his eyes and let it bring you down. If a woman can make a man lose his judgment about her, it can only mean that she holds a significant place in his heart!"

After a pause, Michael Gordon said again, "You should be happy. Oliver Thompson should know what kind of person you are after being your husband for so many years, even someone like me who doesn’t know you well can tell that you would never do something like that. The reason he thinks that way is that he’s afraid, afraid you’ll do something crazy to leave him. In short, he loves you so much that he’s lost his judgment of you!"

Michael’s words eased the woman’s horrified eyes, and the color gradually returned to her face. She picked up the unbroken spoon from the floor and washed it in the sink by herself, then put it in the disinfection cabinet to sterilize it.

But she never made a sound all the while.

Michael stared at her deeply, watching her seemingly methodical movements, her slight trembling, and remained silent for a long while. He finally decided to speak, "Julia, there are some things I shouldn’t say, but seeing you two wasting so much time, I think there should be a good ending. Oliver has been an orphan since he was a child, and everything he has now is earned through blood and tears. He may be cold by nature, but he’s always been good to you. He even ignored his family’s hatred for you. You need to know that you’ve always been the one who owes him between you two!"

Michael paused, watching the woman’s face change bit by bit, then continued, "Your father once forced the Thompson family into a desperate situation for the sake of the Harrison family’s business. The renowned Thompson family disappeared from the world overnight, and the unexpected grown-up Oliver was bound to seek revenge. No one could blame him for that, yet he never brought himself to harm your family. What for? All because of you!"

"But he still forced my father to death!"

The fact was, although her father committed suicide, the reason was still due to Oliver Thompson’s pressure.

"Your father wasn’t forced to die by him; he committed suicide because he was atoning for his sins. Nathan Thompson was his best friend. When he was young, he only saw benefits, but after so many years, could he feel justified? If I’m not mistaken, you always wanted to avoid Oliver Thompson but never thought of revenge. That’s because your father told you not to seek revenge before he died, right?"

Julie Harrison’s mind exploded; how could Michael Gordon know what her father had said?

At that time, she was the only one present, and indeed her father had told her this. Her father said that the mistakes made when young would have to be paid for when old, and he had owed someone something that had to be paid back, but she didn’t know what that was. At first, she thought it was because she liked Oliver Thompson, so she forced him to marry her, breaking up Oliver Thompson and Amanda Foster’s childhood love!

But later on, she felt it wasn’t that, although she didn’t think it was that serious. No wonder Oliver Thompson’s eyes were always cold and pained when looking at her, that feeling was like cutting her to the heart.

If what Michael Gordon said was true, then she understood!

Julie Harrison looked into Michael’s eyes, her gaze somewhat scattered, as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She shook her head vigorously, only to realize that the man was indeed standing in front of her, and she hadn’t misheard.

Michael’s words being true meant that he didn’t bother lying, let alone for others!

"Yes, my father did say that!"

"He knew that what your family owes the Thompson family, even your family’s estate belonged to them. Oliver is only taking back what belongs to him now. You have no right to hate him; it’s always been your family who owes him, but he’s never mentioned it to you. Instead, he has continued to torture himself all these years. He has carried so much on his own. Have you tried to imagine how you would go through it all if you were in his shoes?"

Julie’s heart suddenly... shattered!

He... had always loved her!

"I don’t know!" Julia shook her head blankly, not daring to believe what she had heard. "But he loves Miss Foster, his childhood sweetheart!"

"It was you who took his heart away from that little girl!" Michael Gordon gave her the most direct and clear answer without thinking. That guy was too indecisive, so it was better for someone straightforward like him to explain the whole situation.

"From the moment you shamelessly clung to him, his heart was pulled into your hands, allowing you to trample on at will. Julie Harrison, you can’t be so irresponsible. If you provoke someone you shouldn’t, you must take responsibility. You’ve emptied his heart; how can he live?!"

After saying that, Michael turned to leave the kitchen, but after a few steps, he looked back at her, "I’ve said all I can, and it’s up to you to think about how to proceed!"

In the end, he added, "When Oliver called me just now and asked me to take good care of you, I gave him a good idea - to tell you that no matter how many children you have for him, he won’t let you go, so don’t think about divorce. Besides, he never intended to let you go from the beginning!"

After finishing, the man left the kitchen without looking back. Hearing the footsteps of the man going upstairs, Julie Harrison belatedly realized that she had heard the sound of a message coming to the phone while washing vegetables earlier.

Suddenly, Julie reached into her bib pocket and pulled out her phone. Indeed, her phone displayed, "You have an unread message from your husband."

With trembling fingers, she gently swiped...

As expected...
