Julian finished speaking and looked at me, but I didn't know how to respond. I understood everything he said, but there was no possibility between Jack and me.

I knew my own situation all too well. The best thing I could do was to live well and not drag anyone else down. That was the only thing I could do.

Julian didn't press further when I stayed silent but dropped a bombshell, "Alisa is pregnant... and the baby is mine."

"Of course, it's yours!" I shot him a glare, annoyed by his lack of common sense. "What kind of question is that? How long has it been?" "Around a month."

He looked at me with a certain pride as if enjoying my reaction. "We were planning to get married next October, but it seems like the baby might end up being a Leo. Alisa wants to get married sooner. She says that since you're gone now, I'm the only family she has left. So Eva, do you want to come back for the wedding?"
