Maya thought the same way, and her doubts vanished. She extended her hand gracefully. “I need to discuss this with Luna first. I hope we can work together.”
Kevin’s eyes lit up, and he shook Maya’s hand. “I’ll be waiting for good news, then.”
The next moment, he felt a chill around his neck as he quickly let go of her hand and stood up. He handed her a business card and said, “You should go ahead and enjoy yourself. I need to attend to the other guests.”
After bidding farewell to Maya, Kevin rushed upstairs, and sure enough, in the hotel’s open room area on the second floor, he saw a man smoking leisurely while leaning against the handrail.
From Julian’s angle, he had a clear view of Kevin and Maya chatting and laughing amiably.
Kevin touched his neck while recalling the chilling gaze just now, then smirked. “Are you jealous, Julian?”
The man casually extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and sneered. Jealous? What a joke.
Kevin hurriedly explained, “We only have a professional relationship, and I won’t touch anyone related to you. Let me tell you something. You might not know this, but my sister-in-law is – “
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Julian’s cold voice. “You’ve said it already. We’re divorced, so don’t address her as your sister-in-law anymore. Whether you like her or not has nothing to do with me.”
Julian’s mind was still stuck on the image of Maya and Kevin being all smiles and close just moments ago. Both of them looked handsome and beautiful together. Anyone who saw it would say they looked like a great pair.
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he felt. He flicked the lighter with his slender fingers, picked up his coat without looking back, and walked away. Huh! They’ve only known each other for a short while, yet they dare to discuss private matters already.
Kevin was taken aback by Julian’s icy attitude, but he didn’t chase after the man. Instead, he slumped into a chair and teasingly continued the second half of his sentence, “Alana.”
Your wife is none other than the famous Alana.
…
Meanwhile, Maya felt the hall was too stuffy and went to the back garden to catch her breath.
As soon as she walked out of the revolving door, someone grabbed her arm tightly.
The familiar presence surrounded her, and she knew who it was without even looking back.
However, she had no patience at all when she saw Julian right now, so she pushed him away in frustration. “Stop being touchy-feely in public!”
She was afraid that Selena would see them and start another fit of madness as she didn’t want to be hounded again to compensate for 120 thousand!
Julian’s expression froze.
Earlier on, she had been all lovey-dovey on the red carpet with Kevin. Why did it become touchy-feely when he was the lawful husband?
“We aren’t divorced yet,” he said coldly. “You’d better be more cautious. People from the Graham Estate are watching.”
Maya sneered and retorted, “When you and Selena were on the red carpet just now, did you ever think about the people from the Graham Estate watching? There were so many reporters earlier. Did you lose your memory?”
What a hypocritical man with double standards!
Julian lowered his gaze and let out a soft hum as he felt somewhat pleased. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you jealous?”
The way he asked the question seemed to strike a nerve with Maya as it left her looking utterly unreasonable and speechless. She replied, “You’ve got it all wrong. Jealousy comes from liking someone, and I don’t have any reason to be jealous of you.”
Julian’s face, which had just softened, turned cold again. He reached out and pinched her chin, gritting his teeth as he uttered, “Do I need to remind you why you entered the Graham Family?”
She winced from the pain of his grip on her chin. Then, she forcefully slapped his hand away. “Mr. Graham, does that mean Selena can’t bear children?”
Why was he bringing this up now?
Wasn’t the whole purpose of her entering the Graham Family to give him children?
Did he plan to tie her down for a lifetime even if he didn’t want kids?
For a moment, she felt stupid. Why did she even fall for a man like him?
He fooled around with multiple women while trying to gaslight her from a moral high ground!
“Why are you mentioning her for no reason?” Julian furrowed his brows as he did not understand what this had to do with Selena.
Maya was equally puzzled. “Oh? Could it be that she isn’t infertile, but you are?”
They had been married for three years, and she had tried everything she could think of.
She had previously undergone several medical examinations at the hospital, and they only mentioned a problem with her follicle development. She even took ovulation induction injections, so why hadn’t she been getting pregnant?
All of a sudden, Maya came to a realization.
“Don’t you know if I’m capable?” Julian’s expression couldn’t be described as anything other than grim.
Maya raised an eyebrow. “If I knew, would I have struggled for three years without getting pregnant?”
“Is that the only thing on your mind?” He gritted his teeth, and it was rare to see him this angry.
In his eyes, she was only concerned about having a child.
They were getting divorced now because she couldn’t conceive, and it seemed like he was nothing more than a tool for her to get pregnant.
Upon hearing those words, Maya froze for a moment. By the time she reacted, Julian had already picked her up. She instinctively struggled as she yelled, “Julian! You jerk! Let go of me!”
He completely ignored her actions and took out his car keys. With a click, the lights of a black Land Rover nearby flashed.
Before she could struggle even further, he had already pushed her into the car. His tall figure followed suit, forcing himself into the cramped space and trapping her against the door. Then, he kissed her lips.
She wanted to avoid him, but the limited space in the car left her with no room to move. She took a step back, and her back pressed against the car door while leaving her with no escape route. She lifted her hand, wanting to slap Julian in the face.
However, Julian was well-prepared. He caught both her hands and raised them above her head as he pressed them against the car door. His other hand reached around Maya’s back to unzip her dress.
When he touched her soft and supple skin, his scorching hands accurately held her waist.
It had been a long time since he last touched her, and his desire surged like wildfire. Even his breathing became erratic.
Maya felt a chill in her chest, which was soon overtaken by the scorching heat of his touch. Yet, her heart felt even colder as tears started to trickle down her cheeks.
Upon sensing that something was wrong, Julian slightly raised his body, and his voice turned hoarse as he asked, “Isn’t this what you want?”
She felt as if she had been delivered a hard slap. It seemed like she had been stripped naked and forced to walk in public, which made her feel utterly embarrassed. She murmured, “Yes. This is what I wanted.”
She used to yearn for his passionate embrace like this, and she used to dream of conceiving his child.
However, it all felt like a joke now.
In his eyes, she was just a sl*t who only pursued such things.
She sneered and closed her eyes. “You can continue if you want. Consider this my last gift to you before the divorce.”
Julian noticed her disgusted expression and turned around before pushing open the car door and leaving.
