As for what was gonna happen next, let's just play it by ear.
Ronald strolled by her side, holding her hand, cautiously guiding her towards the car. Yulia lowered her head, staring at Ronald's hand tightly holding her wrist, silently following him forward without saying a word.
Her heart was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. She tried to recall the good times with him, but all her memories were scattered by the image of him pushing her away with another woman in his arms, impossible to piece back together.
That time, she swallowed her pride of a lifetime. The result? This once gentle and considerate man ruthlessly trampled on her pride and dignity. His coldness was as if all his love and pampering for her were just waiting for the most appropriate time to deliver the deadliest blow.
How could she possibly make up with him?
Luckily, she had a goal. She wanted the shares in his hands. She might not love him anymore, but she could get what she wanted from him.
It was worth it.
"Are you okay?"
Ronald stood by the car, looking down at her with a voice full of concern.
Yulia looked up and gave a faint smile, shaking her head, "I'm fine."
Seeing her plastic smile, a trace of bitterness flashed in Ronald's eyes. But he quickly covered it up and opened the passenger door.
"Get in the car, let's go see a movie."
"Sure."
Yulia agreed, but her phone rang first. She paused, picking up the call.
"Mom, mom, can you come back now?"
Anya's childish voice came from the phone, Yulia frowned, glanced at Ronald, and then stepped aside.
"What's the matter, Anya?"
"Nathan is sick, and he looks very uncomfortable. You need to come back to take care of him..."
Yulia tightened her lips, "Isn't Margo there? You call Margo..."
"But Margo has already left..."
"..."
Yulia rubbed her forehead, "What's wrong with him?"
Nathan had put Yulia on speaker when he called, hearing her ask like this, he immediately leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. Anya looked back at him, saw that he had already closed his eyes, and started to cry.
"Mom, mom come back quickly, Nathan is dead...Nathan..."
Yulia's heartbeat accelerated, and hearing Anya's heart-wrenching cries, her heart also tightened.
"Don't cry, Anya, I'll be right back!"
After hanging up the phone, she didn't have time to put her phone back in her bag, and quickly walked to Ronald.
"I have to go home right now, Nathan is sick. Anya is home alone and very scared..."
Yulia couldn't stand Anya's crying. Anya didn't cry very often, especially now that she was a little older and understood and cared for her more; her obedience was sad.
Now that she was crying so sadly, how could anyone not feel heartbroken?
Ronald didn't hesitate. Seeing Yulia get in the car, he followed suit, then drove away from the restaurant.
When the car stopped downstairs, Yulia immediately opened the car door and ran down.
