"Besides, Julia had discussed with me about her birthday before she returned. I can't just break my promise."
I tugged at the corner of my mouth and said, "You also know that you are a man."
"Nothing happens for no reason. As a man, Daniel, if you don't give Julia a chance, will she do that?"
After speaking, I got up from the bed and turned to leave the bedroom.
Daniel stopped me the moment I turned the doorknob. He raised his voice, "Diana, it's so late. Do you want me to invite Grandma to persuade us to reconcile again?"
Many times in the past, Grandma was the one who mediated between us during our cold wars.
But this time, Grandma was no longer here.
The gulf between Daniel and I could never be filled in this lifetime.
I decisively left the bedroom and coldly said, "As you wish."
The moment the door closed, I heard Daniel in the bedroom knock over the basin by the bedside...
Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door.
Coming out of the guest room, I happened to see Julia standing in the middle of the living room, helping Daniel with his tie.
They were so intimate that they looked like a newlywed couple, while I was just a mistress who couldn't show up.
