Refusing To Divorce (Julia and Harry)

Harry noticed her movements and felt a surge of satisfaction. "Are you trying to capture this beautiful moment with mer

He wasn't aware that Julia's intention was to show off to Valerie, didulging in a bit of friendly competition.

Julia was momentarily taken aback by Harry's comment. 'Capture this beautiful moment with him? I feel she needs to explain, she wondered.

So, she opened the photo Valerie had sent on her phone. "Here's the thing. Valerie sent me a picture. Since she's flaunting her affection, I should respond in kind."

Harry looked at the photo with some surprise, not because of the desire to capture a beautiful moment together.

'Should I have to thank Valerie for sending this photo? Never mind that for now. I'm determined to take things further with Julia tonight, he wondered.

"Do you know why you couldn't get a better photo carlier?" Harry asked.

Julia shook her head. "I don't know. I thought my photography skills were decent."

"I analyzed the photo Valerie sent earlier," Harry said. "They were just hugging. To outdo them, we need to... He pointed to his lips.

Julia's face turned red. 'Is Harry suggesting we kiss? No, mt first kiss is still waiting, and I am not ready for that, she wondered.

She hesitated, but Harry pulled her into his arms, taking her phone and adjusting the focus.

In the selfie, she saw the lunar eclipse above them, now almost completely obscuring the moon, making the world seem dim.

Yet the tenderness in Harry's eyes seemed to light up the entire world.

"Ready?" Harry's voice was irresistibly magnetic.

Julia felt as if she were under a spell.

Julia barely realized it before Harry's lips were pressed against hers.

Click! The sound of a camera shutter snapped the photo.

But the kiss didn't end.

She had always thought Harry's lips would be cold, even somewhat indifferent.

Yet, they were surprisingly warm, so warm it felt like they could melt her heart.

Memories long buried surged forth. She seemed to see herself from over a decade ago, always following Harry around, dreaming of marrying him someday.

I always hope to marry Harry. Is this what fulfilling that dream feels like? No, I couldn't lose myself in this. The biggest issue between us is Arya. I can't be sure that Harry is only interested in her, Clara wondered. Realizing this, she suddenly pushed Harry away. "Harry, the lunar eclipse is over. Let's go downstairs and get some sleep." Harry was caught off guard by the push. He gazed deeply into Julia's flustered face.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Am I too hasty?' he wondered.

He could feel Julia's affection for him.

"Alright," he said without making any further moves, and instead took her hand to lead her downstairs.

At the rooftop entrance, a few servants had witnessed the scene and quickly retreated to call Lucia.

"Mrs. Lucia, we just saw Mr. Harry and Mrs. Julia having a date on the rooftop viewing platform. Mrs. Julia said they were going downstairs to sleep. The day you get to hold your grandchild can't be far off."

In her room, Julia took a quick shower and lay in bed, trying to appear nonchalant as she scrolled through messages on her phone.

In reality, her heart was racing wildly.

Harry was in the bathroom, and the sound of running water filled the space.

Once, the sound of water had been like a lullaby to Julia during their arranged marriage, but now it left her feeling disoriented.

Click! The bathroom door suddenly swung open.

Julia's attention was immediately drawn to the doorway.

Harry emerged wrapped in a gray towel, his muscular arms still dripping with water. Although the towel covered his body, it was still evident he had well-defined abs.

He draped the towel over his shoulder and slowly approached Julia.

Julia's heart raced, and she found herself unable to react for a moment.

"Have you seen enough?" Harry's deep voice penetrated her thoughts as he settled on the edge of the bed. "You've got drool/ coming out of your mouth."

Julia snapped back to reality and instinctively reached to wipe her mouth, only to find nothing there.

"Harry!" she exclaimed, her face burning with anger.

"Yes?" Harry replied calmly.

Julia's cheeks were as red as an apple. She vowed she wasn't usually shy, but in front of Harry, especially after understanding his feelings, she couldn't help but feel bashful.

"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now." She said nothing more, turning away and curling up like a shrimp with her eyes closed. Harry chuckled softly. "Is it so hard to admit that you like me?"

He lay down beside Julia, keeping his distance, not hugging her or making any overt moves. He closed his eyes and drifted into sleep.

Julia, however, couldn't fall asleep. She turned back around and stared at Harry's sleeping face.

He looked so handsome, softer than usual, his usual cold demeanor replaced by a gentle expression. She found herself wanting to trace the contours of his face with her fingers. Unable to resist, she reached out, but just before her fingers touched his skin, she pulled them back.

Wake up, Julia. Until you're sure Harry loves only you with all his heart, you can't let yourself fall deeper, she warned herself

She had no intention of moving to Wright Groep. Even at Cooper Group, people already whispered that she was only there because of connections. If she went to Wright Group, the situation would be even worse.

he hurried into Cooper Group.

Valerie was already busy early in the morning and didn't have time to greet Julia when she arrived.

Juha went over to join Valerie, who was sorting through various wedding jewelry pieces. Julia also began to help with the

Julia, they are making things difficult for us. I've gathered a lot of information, but we're still unsure of their preferences, and it's hard to design directly without knowing what they like. What if they don't like it? It would all be for nothing. Valerie said, her face looking as despondent.

As Julia organized the materials, she subtly explained, "It seems like they're just trying to cause trouble for us this time.

"What?" Valerie exclaimed.

Valerie had sensed something was off after being unable to reach the client for a while. She anxiously grabbed Julia's hand. "Who's causing trouble for us? We're Cooper Group. Who would want to take us on?"

Julia shook her head. "It's not about taking on Cooper Group. It's about targeting us."

Julia recounted the situation with the woman she had contacted the day before.

"So, you suspect it's Arya?" Valerie furrowed her brow into a deep frown. "If it's her, it's going to be difficult. She'll definitely make it so that we can't complete this jewelry order. Even if we do finish it, she'll probably claim she doesn't like it."
