Chapter 7 

His slightly curved eyes stared at Julia. She was taken aback, but a hint of sadness flickered in her 

eyes. 

He got carried away but still nodded in agreement. 

The next day, Julia still got out of bed with Colton. 

I received a message from the cruise company early in the morning. 

“The cruise ship you customized will arrive in two days. You can prepare in advance to board.” 

When she saw the news, Julia’s eyes flickered. 

“Wife, we need to get ready to leave!” She immediately turned off her phone and saw Colton 

holding a small bag, filled with carefully prepared items. 

He picked up the package and shook it in front of Julia as if a child wanted to be praised. 

Julia remained silent, only revealing a faint bitter smile. 

“Wife, I heard that there were many blood drawing procedures today. You are usually most afraid of 

pain, but don’t be afraid today because I am here with you.” 

Colton held her tightly in his arms as if he was even more nervous than Julia. 

Julia held the list in her hand and quietly waited in line. 

He watched as Julia finished drawing the first tube of blood, his brows furrowing with concern. 

He would gently comfort Julia. 

“Does it hurt? Don’t be afraid, I am here.” 

When he used to say this sentence to Julia in the past, a warm feeling would flow through her heart. 

But now, she had no feeling at all. 

She nodded gently. 

Nothing compared to the pain brought by him and Carly when they took blood samples. 

At that moment, the familiar sound of the telephone ringing could be heard.

julia was most familiar with it, this was Carly’s exclusive ringtone. 

He answered the phone while carrying Julia on his back, with a hint of panic in his tone. 

“What’s wrong with you?” “Wait for me, I’m coming over now.” 

The worry in his eyes couldn’t be hidden, he pursed his lips before speaking. 

“There was a little issue at my company, so I have to go there now.” 

“I will come to see you later.” 

Julia didn’t ask much, she knew very well what Colton was going to do. 

The repeated deception over and over again was boring. 

Julia drew six tubes of blood by herself. 

On ordinary days, she was most afraid of pain. When her menstrual period came, she would cry because of the pain. 

She watched as these tubes were inserted into the blood vessels. 

This time, she had no trace of fear. 

Her nose felt sour, and the fire in her heart burned and extinguished, leaving her unable to utter a 

word. 

In the end, only numbness remained. She returned home alone, and it was yet another torment for 

her. 

Looking at Carly’s new Instagram, bouquets were placed in a high-end restaurant, with the 

caption: “Today, the people I love are all by my side.” 

In the photo, Kaleb Maren was beaming with a smile, while an inconspicuous person sat in the 

corner. 

Even without a face, Julia could still guess that it was Colton. 

The whole family used to keep her in the dark. 

Julia’s hands trembled slightly, and as she thought about these years, her eyes couldn’t help but become moist.

She understood it in her heart. 

This family, originally did not have her. 

Even though she was Kaleb and Maren’s biological daughter, it seemed like nothing she said 

mattered. 

They only cared about what they thought in their hearts. 

She didn’t want to live through those dark days anymore. So, she wished for them to be together as a family forever. 

Colton did not come back all night and only sent Julia a message. 

“Wife, I have to work overtime at the company. You go to bed early.” 

Even on the day before their wedding, he would still accompany Carly. 

Julia could only feel irony, keeping him around at this moment seemed to match Carly’s 

personality.
