Chapter 459 - Will Not Give Up

"Because I'm married. Not only that, I also have children. So, please throw away your love!". Qiara said in a serious tone of voice.

Demian's heart aches when he heard Qiara's refusal to admit that she was married. He didn't expect that Qiara would use that excuse to refuse him. 

"Whatever you say and like whatever you reject me. But, I will never give up. I love you and it applies to today and the day to come. Okay, I'll give you time until next month. I hope you consider everything". After saying that Demian turned off his cell phone.

Instantly Qiara was shocked and thought Demian was crazy, even though she was already very honest but Demian didn't believe her. She also felt frustrated with the problems that occurred within one day.

"Why did Demian have to add to the problem like this, geez". Qiara felt frustrated by this complicated situation.

Just then the sound of a car horn startled her, at that moment she was startled and turned her head. 

"The old woman ...". Qiara said when she saw who got out of the car with a perfectly rounded gaze. 

"Who are you?". Asked the old woman as she glared intently at Qiara. 

Without saying anything, Qiara looked away and then left because she hated her so much. She is Maria, Helena's biological mother who came to Flory Palace to stay at Helena's place.

"Qiara ... Is that you?".

Instantly Qiara stopped when her name was called by Maria.

"Tell me why are you here? Do you want to beg Helena to invite you to stay here?". Maria asked, smiling mockingly at Qiara.

Qiara's gaze was so sharp, she hated Maria even more after hearing what she asked. 

"If I want to stay here, I don't need Helena's help or sell myself to another man like Helena did". Qiara said sarcastically.

One more problem came, Qiara's head hurt even more.

Instantly a single slap landed on Qiara's cheek all of a sudden. 

"Aaaa ...". Qiara groaned while holding her cheek, there was a little blood on the corner of her lips because of Maria's very hard slap. 

"Why did you slap my wife?".

Qiara and Maria immediately turned to the source of the terrifying sound, they were immediately surprised to see who was walking towards them with a dark gaze.

"'Why is Julian here? Isn't he in the hospital?". Asked Qiara who was still holding her cheek which still ached. 

"Aren't you Mr. Ju?".

Maria immediately smiled and greeted Julian as if she was very close to Julian. 

Unfortunately, Julian avoided Maria, and immediately felt embarrassed in front of Qiara. Meanwhile, Qiara smiled slightly at the ugly expression of the woman she hated.

"I asked why you slapped my wife?". Julian asked again with a bad expression after standing beside Qiara.

"So, she is your wife? How could I not know that my husband's daughter is married to a respectable person like you?". Maria said as if she didn't know about Qiara and Julian's previous marriage.

Qiara smiled bitterly seeing Julian ignore the woman.

"Sorry, we have to go now!". After saying that Julian immediately took Qiara to his car and didn't care anymore about the reason why Maria slapped his wife.

Meanwhile Maria clenched her fists because she was very angry with Julian's treatment. 

"If you are not the son of Mr. Joseph, I will not let you do this to me. Wait until I destroy you". After saying that, Maria walked in towards the main door of the Flory Palace.

In Julian's car.

"Honey, are you okay?". Julian asked while carrying Qiara in his arms.

"Yes. I'm fine! Sorry because I left the house without your permission. Oh yeah, how did you get here?".

"I put a tracker on your cell phone, which is why I checked it when the maid said you weren't home".

Qiara was silent at Julian's explanation because she had expected it beforehand, therefore, she didn't want to talk anymore because her body and mind were in chaos. She also lays down on Julian's shoulder which is her most comfortable place to find calm.

Julian didn't ask Qiara many questions because he knew that the timing was not right. 

Julian's house. 

Not long after, they arrived home.

"Is Zio still sleeping?". Qiara asked Liu who opened the door for her. 

"He's still sleeping soundly". Liu replied politely.

"Okay, thanks for looking after it. Then you can go back to your room!". Qiara said sincerely. 

"Yes!". After that, Liu immediately left Qiara.

"Honey, why haven't you entered the room?". Asked Julian, who had just entered after talking to Andi.

"Earlier I talked to Liu while waiting for you so we can go to the room together. Come on in!". Qiara replied as she took Julian's hand to enter their room.

"Good". Julian smiled and followed Julian into the room. 

"Oh my God...". Qiara was shocked when she saw Zio sitting cross-legged on the bed staring at the two of them expressionlessly.

Qiara was confused to see Zio in her room, even though she remembered that Zio was sleeping in his room.

Meanwhile, Julian immediately smiled and approached his son.

"Why are you awake dear? It's not morning yet?". Julian asked while carrying Zio on his lap without knowing that Zio had previously slept in his room.

"I was thirsty and could not find water in my room, so I went to Papa's room after Aunt Liu came out". Zio answered while rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Qiara also felt sorry when he heard her son's story.

"Then, auntie will get you a drink!". Qiara said as she hurriedly opened the door because she was so nervous seeing Zio's gaze.

Julian's heart felt bad when he heard Qiara call herself aunt.

"How long do you want to be like this, she is his mother, why should she be an aunt? But, how should I give Zio more understanding, while he doesn't accept the presence of a Mama anymore. This is my fault!". Inner Julian.

A moment later.

Qiara returned with drinking water for Zio.

"Honey, do you want another drink?".. Qiara asked after seeing Zio finish his drinking water.
