Florence Morgan's tone, which had started out somewhat admonishing, had become laced with anxiety.
"I'm desperate, Mom! If those two really get together, I will use every means at my disposal, regardless of the consequences."
Without a doubt, it was a threat.
And he was threatening his own mother!
Julian Sterling wouldn't be doing this if he hadn't been backed into a corner.
By now, Julian couldn't think of any other way to win Evelyn Grant back. This was all he had left.
"Be reasonable!"
"Mom, I can't be reasonable. I'm going to go crazy! Do you understand? I'm waiting at home all by myself, praying for Evelyn to come back, just hoping she'll show up! I... I've fallen in love with her. I've really fallen in love with her!"
By the end, Julian's voice was choked with sobs.
He didn't know what else he could do. At this point, all he had left was to speak the truth, to confess what was in his heart.
"Sigh... What a tragic connection."
