Chapter 8 - THE SHIELDEvelyn stared at Julian as if she were looking at a stranger.
“You pushed me.”
Julian didn't answer.
He turned toward Clara.
Her hands were shaking.
Leo was crying softly.
Julian's expression softened immediately.
He crouched beside them.
“Clara…”
She looked at him.
There were no accusations in her eyes.
Only exhaustion.
And that somehow hurt him more.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.
Clara swallowed.
“You didn't know.”
“I should have.”
He gently touched Leo's head.
Then he looked at his wife.
“I should have protected you before today.”
Evelyn shouted from behind them.
“She manipulated you!”
Julian slowly stood.
His expression became cold.
“Don't touch her.”
Evelyn opened her mouth.
“Or my son.”
His voice dropped.
“Ever again.”
Then Julian looked at the security guards.
“Pack their things.”
Evelyn's face went pale.
“What are you doing?”
May you like
Julian answered without looking at her.
“Taking my family home.”
