Chapter 881 Dallin Was a Jerk
Julien gripped the steering wheel even tighter.
Sydney could see his veins bulging on the backs of his hands.
"Actually, my parents have never shared a bed," Julien said.
Sydney covered her mouth in surprise, "Really?"
"Yes!" Julien nodded, no expression on his face, "My mother wrote that in her diary. She used to keep a diary. My mother didn't love my father, so she couldn't accept him. And my father was a proud man. He never forced himself on her. After they got married, although they lived in the same room, one of them lived in the bedroom and the other one lived in a small bedroom converted from the checkroom. They never had sex, so my mother could not get pregnant. But they had to give an heir to the family, so they went to the hospital and had IVF and had me."
"I can't believe that." Sydney's mouth dropped open in surprise and her heart raced.
What Julien said shocked her.
"Did your grandmother know about that?" Sydney asked.
Julien shook his head, "No. I didn't even know it until I read my mother's diary."
Sydney put her hand on the back of Julien's hand. She felt sympathy for him.
Julien's parents didn't love each other, and they gave birth to Julien to fulfill their mission. It was as if Julien was a tool, and his parents never expected him.
"Julien..." Sydney called out in a choked voice. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say.
She was afraid she would accidentally hurt him.
Julien sensed Sydney's dilemma, and he placed his other hand on hers and gave a bitter smile, "Don't worry. Although they didn't look forward to my birth, they were responsible parents. They both loved me. I had a happy childhood."
When Julien's mother was alive, she loved Julien very much. After her death, Julien's father married Velma. And Velma was kind to Julien.
And Julien’s father loved him as much as ever after he married again, so Julien never felt sad about his childhood.
Sydney believed what Julien said was true. He hadn't lied to comfort her.
Sydney sighed with relief, "That's good." Then she continued, "Did your mother not love your father for Dallin's sake?"
'Because she loved Dallin, she couldn't accept Julien's father.'
Julien nodded, "Yes. My mother wrote in her diary that she and Dallin had made a deal. After she married my father and then gave birth to a baby, she would divorce him when the kid grew old enough to understand her. Then she would get back with Dallin. And my mother told Dallin that she would not have sex with my father and that she would get pregnant through in vitro fertilization. She wanted Dallin to do that for her, too."
"Did Dallin agree?" Sydney asked.
Immediately, however, Sydney realized she shouldn’t have asked the question.
If Dallin had agreed with that, there would be no Greta.
"My mother wrote in her diary that Dallin had promised her that he would wait for her until she divorced my father. I still remember how happy my mother seemed on that day according to her diary, but..."
Julien's face clouded over.
Sydney squeezed Julien’s hand gently. "But Dallin cheated on your mother and had Greta with another woman, so when you heard at the police station that Greta was Dallin's daughter and that she was only three years younger than you, you got emotional and angry."
A storm rose in Julien's eyes. "Yes, I did feel angry about that. My mother waited ten years for Dallin, but he betrayed my mother three years later and had a daughter with another woman. My mother didn’t know the man she loved had betrayed her until she died. Perhaps Dallin had betrayed my mother at an earlier time. Maybe he had betrayed my mother before my mother married my father!"
Sydney was speechless.
'Julien's suspicion can be true. Many men cheat on their girlfriends.
'Those men think that love and sex are different things. Some men are even so shameless that they say to a woman, ‘Even though I had sex with another woman, you are the only woman I love.’
'Those men were so disgusting!’
Sydney guessed that Dallin was one of those men.
Sydney showed a look of disgust in her eyes. "I feel sorry for your mother. She never knew the true color of the man he loved."
'Since Dallin couldn't keep his promise, he shouldn't have made that promise in the first place. Men who break a promise are liars!'
Now Sydney felt indignant for Julien's mother.
Julien's mother had always kept her promise to Dallin. She had never slept in the same bed with Julien's father for Dallin's sake.
But Dallin betrayed Julien's mother. He gave her his promise, but he got together with another woman and had a daughter.
Sydney felt sorry for Julien's mother. She now understood why Julien's mother committed suicide.
Before, Sydney did not understand why Julien's mother killed herself.
Sydney thought that although Julien's mother loved Dallin, she had to break up with him and marry Julien's father, so it was okay for Dallin to marry another woman.
But now she knew that Julien's mother and Dallin had a deal.
Julien's mother had been keeping her promise and waiting for Julien to grow up so she could get back with Dallin.
However, Dallin had already betrayed Julien’s mother long ago, and just as Julien's mother was about to divorce Julien's father, she heard that Dallin was going to marry another woman. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Julien's mother had waited for so many years. She was finally going to divorce Julien's father, but then she heard the news. She must have been devastated.
She waited for Dallin for ten years, but Dallin destroyed her dream. Julien's mother couldn't take it, so she killed herself.
Perhaps at that time, Julien's mother realized that her ten-year wait was a joke, but she couldn't go back or move on, so she chose to end her life.
Sydney felt sympathy for Julien’s mother. She took a long breath and gave a sad expression, "Dallin is responsible for your mother's death. He's a murderer. He shouldn't have given your mother the promise if he couldn't keep it. And he shouldn't have broken his promise after he made it. He had Greta with another woman, and he was going to get married. Even though he broke off the engagement after hearing about your mother's death, your mother was dead. He gave your mother hope, but he destroyed her hope with his own hands. He..."
"He should go to hell!" Julien cut Sydney off and snarled through his clenched teeth.
Sydney responded, "Yes. He's a jerk to have betrayed your mother."
Sydney wondered what Dallin's feelings were for Julien's mother at the moment.
'Maybe he didn't love Julien's mother anymore, or maybe he did.
'But even if he did have feelings for Julien's mother, it was disgusting.'
