The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 628 Derrick’s Not That Desperate

In other words, Derrick wouldn’t dare.

Marie asked, “So you don’t think it could’ve been him either, right?”

***+8 Pearls.

“Of course not,” Julia replied. “You two know each other way too well, you probably even remember each other’s most embarrassing childhood moments. With that kind of familiarity, how could any romantic feelings possibly develop?”

As far as Julia was concerned, Marie and Derrick getting legally married had been a fluke; there was no romance involved. None.

“Yeah, that’s true,” Marie admitted.

“Totally true,” Julia said firmly.

“Then how come my brother caught feelings for Star?” Marie asked.

If we’re talking about remembering who wet the bed, Star had done that on Abraham’s bed plenty of times when they were kids.

Back then, Abraham had looked after her for a long stretch, especially when she was a baby.

They were close. Inside and out, top to bottom, there wasn’t a part of each other’s lives they didn’t know.

Her brother had fallen for Star, so what was stopping Derrick from falling for her.

Maybe she simply wasn’t enough.

Julia went quiet. Yikes…

She didn’t dare gossip about Abraham–not even with his sister.

If word of this ever got back to him, the entire family would be done for.

Especially since this involved Mr. Abraham and Star. Julia had heard all about what happened to the two families during that banquet recently–it was a total disaster.

“All I’m saying is, there’s no way anything romantic could happen between you and Derrick,” Julia added.

Anyone could see it; their personalities were like oil and water.
