Chapter 50

Finding Julian at her door that very night came as a surprise to her. He hadn’t returned since she regained consciousness a few days ago. She didn’t expect him to, despite the intimate moment and k*ss they shared in Grandfield. There was no tag to it, and she couldn’t read meaning into anything.

She feared at first that Marion had told him the truth. Marion wouldn’t take that choice from her, not unless he had to. He wasn’t that type of person.

She stepped outside to meet him where he stood. “You usually come inside,” she told him, remembering the last time he came to visit her. He had entered inside before she even got the information.

“Yes, but I learned your boys are in the house, and you told me to stay away from them.” He reminded her that, though she might have forgotten, he didn’t.

Her eyes dropped; he was a better person than she would ever be, and her sons were lucky he was their father. “Why did you come?” She asked, changing the subject

“To check on your progress so far, he answered, and his tone held honesty in it

“I’m getting better. I feel so much better compared to last week, and I have you to thank.”

“I did nothing.” He told her, trying to act clueless.

“I know you initiated the visit I received from the physicians at the settlement,” she told him.

“I didn’t initiate it,” he corrected. “I permitted.”

“Thank you.” She smiled at him.

He said nothing; instead, he leaned in to k*ss her, but she drew back.

She wanted to k*ss him more than anything right now; her entire b*dy yearned for it, and she wanted to give herself over to him. It felt right, but she couldn’t, not until she knew there were no more secrets between them.

This was much more complicated for her than it was for him. She had so much to lose, and he didn’t, so she had to be careful.

“What are you doing?” She asked, even though she knew he just tried to k*ss her.
