Chapter 650
He could already tell Tessa wasn’t happy about it.
But no matter how upset she was, there was no way he was putting his life on the line for this.
Life was precious–one slip and it was over.
He wasn’t stupid. Why risk his future over something like this?
In the end, though clearly displeased, Tessa came up with a new plan.
She’d lure Lucas away, giving Julian a window to act.
Once it was done, he’d leave immediately.
A change of clothes had already been stashed in the basement.
Everything was set up perfectly with no mistakes allowed.
Even Julian had to admit, this version felt a lot more manageable.
It gave him some cover.
At first, when he saw her message, he thought maybe he could back out altogether.
But after reading the contents, he was more confused than ever.
Indecision defined him.
He had no idea what direction his life was supposed to take.
He took everything one step at a time, adjusting with each turn as it came.
Even the idea of marrying Tessa, something his parents had arranged, wasn’t really his choice.
He never had one.
But here he was, standing at the hospital entrance.
Backing out now was not realistic.
In the end, Julian replied with trembling fingers, “Okay. I’ll wait for your signal.”
He let out a breath for the brief delay.
For now, that was all he could ask for.
He wanted to drag things out a little longer and avoid facing what came next.
He had no idea what his future held, but for the time being, it felt safer just to follow Tessa’s lead.
After all, wasn’t that what his parents always told him to do?
The thought made him feel a little pathetic.
He was just a man following the path others laid out for him.
