Chapter 152 I Know It Was You, Right?
Julian looked at Isabelle's hopeful expression in disbelief.
Isabelle was his childhood friend.
He asked coldly, "There's a sentence that is carved onto the back of this tree. Do you know what it is?"
Isabelle felt her heart racing.
The fact that Julian asked about this showed that he really was the little boy.
But what did the sentence say?
Isabelle forced herself to calm down and desperately tried to recall the contents of the diary.
Susan had told her a lot about the things between her and Julian, and there were many things written in the diary too.
Added together, she should know most of the things.
Thank God she read the diary a number of times!
Isabelle blinked, "It should say 'Little Leaf and Little Flower will be together forever.”'
Julian's expression turned even stiffer.
Isabelle was right!
That was the sentence carved on the tree.
It was a secret that only he and the little girl could know!
Could the little girl really be...
No, no way.
Julian squinted his eyes.
Isabelle tilted her head and looked at him in shock, "M r. Shaw, how did you know about the sentence? This should be a secret between Little Leaf and me."
Julian froze in silence.
Isabelle was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth in shock, "Mr. Shaw... You... Are you Little Leaf?"
Her voice was trembling as though it contained countless uncertainties.
Julian did not answer. He looked at Isabelle and said," When we were young, the little girl told me that her name was Susan Shelby!"
Shyness crossed Isabelle's face, "Little Leaf wouldn't tell me his real name, so I told him my cousin's name instead."
...Was that the case?
Julian was a little dazed.
Had he found the wrong person since the beginning?
The person who provided him the only source of comfort during his lonely childhood was Isabelle and
not Susan?
Julian still found it strange!
But the person who came today was Isabelle!
She also knew about the secret that only he and Little Flower knew.
Even if he did not want to believe it, it seemed to be the truth.
"Mr. Shaw, you asked me because you are Little Leaf, right?" Isabelle looked at Julian eagerly.
"I..." Julian had a complicated expression.
His hand shook, and from the flower bouquet, a small box fell out.
Isabelle picked it up quickly and opened it. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Inside the box was a ring with a huge diamond.
This ring worthed at least tens of millions.
Isabelle's eyes lit up.
But she hid her emotions quickly and looked up at Julian, "Mr. Shaw, you..."
"Give it back to me," Julian's voice was as cold as ice.
Isabelle bit her lower lip, put the ring back into the box, and gave it to Julian.
Julian took the box and left.
Isabelle was dumbfounded.
What did he mean?
Julian was going to leave just like that?
No!
How could she let him go so easily after working so hard to get to this stage?
Originally, she had already given up on Julian.
But God made Julian the same person as the little boy.
Susan could not blame her for this.
It was all fate.
Seeing that Julian was about to leave, Isabelle shouted with a trembling voice, "Little Leaf! I know it's you, right?"
Julian's footsteps paused slightly.
He still had a response.
Isabelle was ecstatic, her voice trembled even more," Little Leaf, we promised to stay together for the rest of our lives, did you forget that? No, you didn't, you brought the ring to propose to me, right?"
Julian pressed his lips together tightly.
He did not answer and did not know how to answer!
How could it be Isabelle who came and not Susan?
For such a long period of time, he recognized the wrong person and protected the wrong person!
Julian still could not digest the information.
"Little Leaf!" Isabelle suddenly ran towards Julian and hugged him from the back.
Julian was shocked and wanted to push her away subconsciously.
But Isabelle held him even tighter.
She was shaking, and her tears dropped onto Julian's back.
"Little Leaf, I know it. I know you are the little boy who promised me. I waited for you for so, so long. Why did you only appear now? Do you not know that these twenty years, I had always been waiting for this day? Every moment of my life, I was hoping to reunite with you. Little Leaf, now that we finally reunited, can you not abandon me?" 2
More tears dropped as she spoke.
Julian felt his shirt getting soaked.
His finger moved, and eventually, he pushed Isabelle away.
He turned to look at her, "Sorry."
He had imagined his reunion with Little Flower a million times.
He thought it would be such a beautiful memory for both of them.
Never once had he thought that Little Flower would be
someone other than Susan. 2
Now, looking at Isabelle's pitiful face, Julian had mixed feelings.
Shock, disbelief, and a little apologetic.
However, there was definitely not the kind of chemistry only Susan could make him feel.
Julian knew that very well.
"Sorry?" Isabelle looked at Julian with teary eyes, "I've waited for you for so long, and you are going to break our promise?"
"I'm sorry," Julian could only repeat.
"I don't want your apology!" Isabelle suddenly shouted, "Little Leaf, all I want is for you to fulfill your promise."
Julian looked at her quietly, then spoke slowly, "I'm sorry, I'm Little Leaf, but I'm also Julian Shaw."
Little Leaf gave his promise to Little Flower.
However, Julian Shaw gave his promise to Susan Shelby.
Even if it was wrong, it was too late.
Since it was too late, he could only continue.
"Julian Shaw..." Isabelle took a few steps backward as though she suffered a blow. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Julian wanted to leave, but Isabelle's face was too pale.
Still worried about Isabelle's state, Julian could not bring himself to leave.
"Julian Shaw..." Isabelle murmured again, then dried her tears, "I get it. You are Julian Shaw, you've already married Susie. Susie... is my family, and also my friend. I... I can't ruin your relationship with her. I wish all the best for the two of you."
