True Love Waits

Chapter 1237 The Warning

Everyone, including Julianna, knew that Tessie had lied about what had happened between her and Erica.

Erica didn't want to hold a grudge against Julianna over this issue as she knew that she could put it behind her after Tam and his family left Y City tomorrow.

Erica forced back her tears, turned, and nodded at Julianna. "Thank you for accepting Ethan."

She could now sympathize with Julianna. After all, her father suddenly had a son, and she had a younger brother.

And all this was because her father had an affair with her best friend. Who could accept such a reprehensible relationship? However, Julianna's actions showed that she seemed to have accepted Ethan as her father's son and her baby brother.

Julianna smiled, "Why should you thank me? He is my father's son. I should thank your family for being so kind to him even though they know that he is not your child."

Her reassurance appeared genuine.

Her mother had been pale-faced and dispirited when she had told Julianna about how she had fought with her father when she learned about Ethan. Between sobs, she had said that she didn't want to divorce him.

After all, Tam had been very good to her before. As they had been married for more than twenty years, it was not easy to break up. She wanted to give him another chance.

If her mother could forgive her father, why couldn't she?

Despite her unwillingness, Erica handed Ethan to Julianna. "My baby, go to your...sister!"

Tears welled in his eyes, and Ethan's chubby arms tightened their grip around Erica's neck. He refused to let go.

Seeing that Ethan was about to cry, Tam stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

As he had spent more time with Ethan than Julianna, Tam believed that Ethan would be more willing to go to him.

Tam removed a corn candy from his pocket and held it in front of Ethan. With a kind smile, he said, "Ethan, here is a candy for you. Come to Dad."
