'Give up?'
'On me?'
Julian Sterling immediately rejected the idea.
His voice rose slightly, laced with a hint of irritation. "Impossible! Evelyn Grant is just temporarily angry, and I'm just giving her time to think things through! Mom, she's given so much for me. There's no way she could just walk away. Would she be able to accept that?"
Evelyn Grant had spent over a decade loving him.
Her energy, her devotion, her love, and her sacrifices were all immeasurable!
Julian felt it was like a business deal. You pour ten years of blood, sweat, and tears into a partnership to make it work. Even if some minor mishap occurred along the way, as long as success was still within reach, you'd never be willing to just give up.
'Her refusal to see me now is just her way of avoiding things.'
'She probably can't even sort out her own thoughts right now!'
'But... all I need to do is give her time.'
Julian believed that Evelyn couldn't possibly retract all her feelings for him in an instant.
