Chapter 438 Is There More to This?

Julia couldn’t stop herself from retching when she got to the door. The fishy stench made her stomach uneasy.

Fortunately, she managed to control herself—Richard would’ve definitely noticed that something was odd

otherwise. Julia wiped the corner of her lips as she left without looking back. Even though she felt highly hurt, she

didn’t want to see him again.

Richard sat in his spot without moving as he watched Julia walking away. After a while, he finally spread his lips into

a bitter smile. He looked down to see a table full of Julia’s favorite dishes, and his grip on his chopsticks tightened a

little.

He took a piece of the fish and chewed on it as he thought, I’ve never enjoyed eating these things. I always thought

that it was terrible for my health, but Julia loved it so much. She said that raw fish like this gives off the most original

taste.

Well, if I knew that Christi would fall for me, I would’ve never gone to the Zuniga Residence to treat her. The Zuniga

Family… Us Jenkins are no match for them. Of course, everyone’s jealous that I got the opportunity to be the

Zunigas’ son-in-law, but Julia is the only one I like.

Richard lowered his head as he thought about the Zuniga Family. Christi was the only daughter in the household—

the rest of the Zunigas’ children were all males. She was the only girl, so she was extremely precious to the whole

family.

At the start, Richard had no idea that Christi was the girl who had been robbed overseas. Back then, he had been

kind enough to help her, but he had no idea that she was yearning for him ever since he saved her four years ago.

When Richard went to treat her illness, Christi immediately recognized him. She told him that she had fallen for him

four years ago but that she had never found a way to contact him.

Before Richard had a chance to decline their offer, the Zuniga Family threatened him to make him marry Christi.

Richard was familiar with the Zuniga Family’s tactics—he knew that Julia would suffer if he rejected the Zuniga

Family’s request. Well, such is life. One can never say no to the ones in power.

Julia’s belly grew as time went on. She rejected all the jobs she received and stayed home most of the time. The

only person she met was Nicole. Nicole could tell that Julia was trying her best to be happy but that she was still

despondent deep down.

Back when Nicole gave birth to Hayden, Julia was the one who made sure that she was safe and well. So, Nicole

couldn’t bear to watch Julia suffer alone.

Since Nicole couldn’t go directly to Richard, she came up with another plan—she went to see Colton instead. After

Benedict’s illness improved, Colton moved out of the Gardner Residence.

When Nicole paid a visit to his house, Colton was somewhat surprised. He raised his eyebrows in amusement and

teased Nicole when he saw her. “What’s this? Have you finally come to your senses and decided to offer yourself to

me?”
