WITH YOU, ME AND MY HEART
47

''I had fallen in the pool, I was a kid and I was not good at swimming, so was Julian, but he was determined to jump in to save me. I loved Julian very much, even when I found out about the truth.''

'' Truth? The truth about what?'' Inner Leo was curious.

When Leo wants to ask about his curiosity, someone calls Julia's name from behind them. Leo who was still standing looked over.

'' Brother?'' Julia who heard a voice called out to someone, turned to look for the source of the voice.

'' Sister Julia?'' Ask the girl.

'' Yes,'' Julia answered wondering why the girl knew her name.

'' Someone's sister sent this to big brother, '' the girl gave him a bunch of flowers with a pink scrapbook on her. Julia received the flower and read the memo tucked inside.

'' There is no other woman I want but you, what you just saw was a mistake, there is really no amount of apology that can represent my guilt, please forgive me, please forgive me, I really have no intention of doing that, it looks like that woman wants something bad in our relationship, come back to me my honey.''

Julia was silent reading it, she was confused what to do. Julia massaged her temples and closed her eyes, cupping her two palms to her face.

'' What's the matter Julia?'' Leo asked who saw Julia's sad and confused expression. Leo can already guess who the sender of the flower bouquet is. Honestly her heart also hurt to see the sadness in Julia's eyes.

'' Julia, come on, let me drive you home, said Leo crouching in front of Julia and holding Julia's hand.

'' Leo....'' Snapped someone to say his name.

'' James?''

'' Keep your hands out of my wife's hands.''

James steps closer to Leo and Julia, pulls Julia's hand and takes her away. But James hasn't stepped in yet, Leo prevented him from leaving.

'' No, you can't just leave, I brought Julia here so I have to take her home.''

'' Did you say ha? Have you forgotten the memory that Julia is James's mistress now?'' James turned around grabbing Leo's shirt collar, gripping him firmly.

Seeing the increasingly murky atmosphere, Julia immediately ran to prevent the two men from fighting.

'' James... James we're home.'' Julia grabs James' hand to release his grip on Leo's collar.

'' Leo thank you for bringing me here, I'm going home with James, you know for yourself my current status, you should also go home, once again thanks Leo.''

Implied a triumphant smile from James' face heard Julia's words just now.

Julia immediately stepped her feet to pull James' hand to get out of there, Julia was afraid something worse happened if the two men were not immediately separated.

Leo just silently stared at Julia's departure with her husband. His hands clenched tightly, he was really - really upset. She was sitting on the chair where Julia was sitting.

'' This is just the beginning of James, '' muttered Leo with a vengeful look.

James took Julia home. The cold temperature blowing from the air conditioner inside the car aggravated the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.

'' Thanks Julia...'' James said slowly.

'' What for?''

'' That you acknowledged me as your husband earlier in front of Leo.''

Julia did not answer, she just looked out the window. His heart still ached as he recalled what he witnessed with his own eyes this morning.

'' Julia....''

'' Bye...''

'' I'm sorry for what happened this morning, the woman who suddenly hugged me, I'm really - really sorry.''

Julia still did not answer anything and did not take her eyes off.

'' She's Silvia, my ex in High School, she left me for a richer person, I don't even know why she showed up again after I got married.''

'' Would you like to eat something?'' James said wooing as he passed through the dining park.

Julia just shakes her head speechless. Julia was still upset when it crossed the shadow of James who seemed to enjoy being embraced by the woman.

Julia's phone reads, ''tling''.

Julia saw her phone and it was a chat message from Leo.

'' I'm sorry for my nature that was to the child - kanakan 🙏.''

'' No problem, it's not your fault either, the patitnya I'm the one at fault for involving you in my family matters.''

'' Tliiing.''

'' Don't hesitate, my hands are open to you.''

Julia just read the chat message that doesn't reply to her anymore. He doesn't want it to make things worse. Julia put her phone back in the bag.

'' Who is Julia?''

'' Leo...''

'' What did he say?''

'' He just apologized.''

'' Apologizing? You lizard, just watch him, James grumbled in his heart.

A few moments later they arrived in front of the house. James comes out first to open the car door for Julia, but she's late. Julia has opened the door herself. Without saying - said Julia directly walked into the house.

'' It seems like he is still mad at me, James' inner self.

'' Naturally, if I were him I would be like that, James' inner self again.

James followed Julia into his house. Julia put her bag on the dresser, pulled her bathrobe and went to the bathroom. Wandering himself hoping after a shower his mind can be more fresh.

James was watching his cell phone. She clenched her teeth, reading a chat message from Leo to Julia.

'' Basic lizard, dare - how dare he seduce my wife, fortunately I installed a spy app on the hape Julia,'' James smiled - a smile remembering that time when he installed the spy app on Julia's phone the day after her wedding day.

At that moment, Julia woke up first, feeling that something was in her hands, Julia gasped as she saw James' hand clinging tightly to her. Julia let go slowly and then she went downstairs and made two glasses of warm drink. One cup of tea for him and one cup of coffee for James.

He also made a toast with cream and cheese spreads that he placed in a tray with two cups of drinks that he would bring into the room.

It was at the time when Julia was under that James took Julia's unactivated phone code key. So easily he can access the hape Julia.

James woke up from his daydream when someone knocked on his bedroom door. '' The boss is all set, Victor said as James opened the door.

'' Okay, thanks Victor.''

'' Who is James?'' Julia said, hearing James talk to someone.

'' Victor, he said there's a package for you downstairs.''

'' The feeling I never ordered anything on line, '' in her mind, Julia frowned in surprise.

'' Why didn't he bring her up?''

'' Maybe he couldn't bring her here.''

'' Well.'' Julia looked at James in wonder.

James just shrugged his shoulders, a sign that he didn't understand anything.
