Chapter 199: Jared Knows That Julia Is Going to The Class Reunion
“It’s a good thing my brother isn’t home. Otherwise, the whole place would be filled with the smell of jealousy again.”
Julia glanced at Shiloh before talking to Maddie again.
“You’re pregnant, and you‘ re still going?” she asked.
“I won’t drink, so you don’t need to worry about me, okay? Besides, it’s rare for our former classmates to treat us to a meal, and we haven’t gathered together for a long time. I feel so bored taking care of the baby and staying home lately. I’ll take this as an opportunity to relax,” Maddie reasoned.
Hearing the finality in her friend‘ s voice, Julia realized that Maddie would definitely go.
“Oh, before I forget, we can bring our family to the reunion. I heard that our classmate, Lorelei Hill, found a well–off man. She always brags about how great her husband is! So, do bring your man, Julia?” Maddie asked in a malicious tone.
you want to
“Stop it, Maddie. Besides, he’s busy. I won’t bring him,” Julia replied. Before she could continue speaking, Shiloh cut her off.
“You didn’t even ask Jared. How do you know that he’s busy? I think you just don’t want my brother to know about you and that class president.”
Julia sighed and didn’t reply.
She turned around to look at Shiloh and said, “Hey, stop with your baseless accusations. The class president and I are just acquaintances. I didn’t tell your brother because I didn’t want the entire house to be filled with his jealousy. You know Jared. He gets jealous for no reason. So, keep your mouth shut about this, okay?”
Shiloh leered at her cockily. “Why do you want to keep this a secret? So, there‘ s really something going on between you and that class president, huh?”
Julia rolled her eyes.
What could she say? Jared and Shiloh shared the same bloodline. They both were skilled when it came to imaginative thinking.
“I don’t know what you‘ re talking about. There’s nothing between me and the class president. If you insist on telling your brother, which may lead to misunderstandings and conflicts in the family, go on.”
Shiloh stared at her, speechless.
Julia managed to corner him.
The next evening, Julia put on some simple makeup before going out.
When Jared arrived home, Julia was already gone.
“Where‘ s Julia?” he asked.
Upon hearing his brother‘ s question, Shiloh glanced at Julia’s room.
“She went to some high school reunion thing.”
“Huh?” Jared’s brows knitted. “When did she know about this? Why didn’t she inform me before?”
Shiloh shrugged and replied, “Well, it’s just that-” He suddenly remembered Julia’s words yesterday.

If he spilled the beans and caused a misunderstanding or conflict between the couple, it would be
his fault.
“What?” Jared looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Actually, it’s nothing. I just remembered that I made plans to play games with someone. I’ll go upstairs first!” He let out an awkward chuckle before rushing upstairs.
Jared’s gaze followed his brother, observing his hurried departure. His eyes slowly squinted in suspicion.
“You already know about it, right?”
Shiloh s footsteps froze on the stairs. He could feel his heart skip a beat.
Julia! he mentally yelled. I’m blaming you for dragging me into this mess! You did this to yourself.‘
Now what?
Shiloh slowly turned around to face his brother as he scratched the back of his head.
“I kind of overheard her talking about it yesterday.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Shiloh scratched his head and looked away, looking for answers.
“Shiloh Brooks,” Jared‘ s stern voice called out. His brother rarely called him by his full name.
It was when Shiloh knew his brother was pissed off.
Well, it had to come out sooner or later.
In the end, Shiloh told Jared everything he heard yesterday.
Jared clicked Julia‘ s number and called her.
“Hello?”
Julia had just arrived at the restaurant where their reunion would be held when she received Jared’s call.
As soon as she saw the caller ID, she immediately concluded that her husband must have found out about the reunion.
In fact, she didn’t need to hide it from him. However, Jared was the jealous type, and he could be extra possessive sometimes.
Every time he would get jealous, Julia became miserable. Especially that rainy night. He lost control and devoured her, leading to the unexpected three little fetuses in her belly.
“Are you now in your classmates‘ reunion?” Jared asked.
“Yes. We don’t really organize events like this, so I felt bad for not coming. I’m with Maddie.” She intentionally mentioned Maddie’s name, trying to reassure him.
“Okay. Have fun,” Jared said.
Julia stared at her phone, confused. “That’s it? Wasn’t he angry at me? Had he taken the wrong medicine today? He seemed unusually calm.‘
Shiloh was also surprised by his brother. He stared at Jared with a strange look in his
eyes.
Something was off.
“T–Thank you,” Julia stammered, still a little taken aback.

“What time will your reunion end? I’ll come pick you up.‘
“I’m not sure. Don’t bother picking me up, though. I’ll just hail a cab when I get home.” “Fine,” Jared answered before ending the call.
Julia’s eyes slowly blinked as she stared at her phone. It felt like she was just dreaming.
‘What’s up with Jared today?‘ she thought. She had planned many ways to deal with him if he ever found out and confronted her, so his calm demeanor caught her off–guard.
Shiloh was about to ask his brother but stopped when he saw him dial another number.
“Miss Simpson, it’s me. I have a favor to ask. I’d like to know where you‘ re having dinner. I’m planning to surprise her, so please don’t tell her,” Jared stated.
“Yeah. I want to know which restaurant you’ll be having dinner. I’m planning to go there and surprise her. Don’t tell her, please,” he repeated.
Shiloh facepalmed. Of course. He had just told him about Julia and her classmate. His brother would never brush it aside easily.
It turned out that his brother had a backup plan: an impromptu surprise visit to catch Julia and the class president together or perhaps to give them a scare.
Thinking about his brother’s evil plan, Shiloh silently hoped that Julia wouldn’t get too close to her particular classmate tonight.
Otherwise, he would end up eating dog food again.
Maddie arrived earlier. She sat at a table filled with more than twenty of her high school
classmates.
After hanging up the call, she excitedly looked at the private room’s door.
‘Tonight is going to be quite a show!‘ she thought.
Suddenly, Maddie heard someone calling her name.
It was their class president, Simon Miller. “Maddie, is Julia not coming tonight?”
As soon as Simon fired that question, all heads turned to him.
Everyone knew that Simon had once confessed to Julia in high school.
Unfortunately, at that time, Julia’s heart was set on Carter. Now that she wasn’t with Carter anymore, it looked like Simon might have another shot.
Although Julia was undeniably gorgeous, her reputation was tarnished. She pushed her future mother–in–law into the water, and it was her fault that Carter’s true love had a miscarriage. Would Simon still be interested in her after all the wrong things she did?
“No, she’s coming! She’ll be here soon,” Maddie replied.
As if on cue, the door swung open.
Simon’s head turned toward the entrance and saw the woman he had been waiting for standing there.
He was instantly captivated.
