Chapter 65 – Late but right in time
A month had passed by since Jonathan’s abrupt confession.
Liliana had not heard from him apart from work. Although he would visit the twins, it was less frequent and he maintained an appropriate distance between himself and her.
Liliana did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She knew that he had gone back to their wedding house and was looking into her.
But she was not someone he could look into. He needed to know that.
Liliana guessed that Jonathan was probably not ready to face the truth yet.
She did not mind. She had waited for him for almost 20 years, she could wait some more.
When they were both forced to marry each other, it was the worst timing ever. She had been upset about how their marriage had ended, but time was a great healer. And as the hurt subsided, the clarity that even if they had stayed together, their lives would have been miserable came shining clear as a day.
They had too many enemies at that time and the one thing she wanted to protect was in the hands of Aprices. She had no legal means to get it, hence she could only endure.
Liliana understood that even if Jonathan had stayed with her, their lives would be full of conflicts and schemes and plots. Seven years ago, they were both immature and insecure. It would not have worked. Had they stayed together, they would have only hurt each other more. As such, she did not feel wronged.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
This was okay. None of them had betrayed each other.
Even though Jonathan had forgotten that he was married, he had wanted to stay loyal to her and that was enough.
After finding out that he was married, Jonathan had maintained a distance between the two of them. She was amused and wanted to laugh in his face, but his actions had created a ripple in her heart.
She was glad that he was a good person. Her feelings for him had not been for naught.
It was only a matter of time before they had their happy ending.
Liliana was sitting in the living room of her home with Jonathan, Henry, Liam, Mariana, Jennifer, James, and Vincent.
They all had a lovely dinner and the three kids went off to bed.
The maids were all sent away and Liam locked the doors before they started to talk.
“Is everything ready?” Liam went straight to the point.
“More or less!” Liliana answered.
“What are you planning for the auction?” Jonathan asked.
Liliana took off the scarf which she had rolled around her neck and everyone could see the elegant necklace which sat on her neck perfectly like it was custom designed for her.
It was made of pure gold and had sixty small marquise cut diamonds and on the middle sat a large blue diamond.
It was a sight to behold and expectedly everyone present exclaimed on seeing it.
