Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 12

Janina's hand, which had been pulling out the suitcase, moved to rest on her lower abdomen.

A child that wasn't wanted shouldn't be brought into this world, as much as it pained her to think it.

She pushed the thought aside. It was time to make a clean break. He was just a man, after all. She wouldn't die without him.

Janina went back to packing her clothes.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Julius's angry voice filled the air. "What is this drama? Are you running away from home?"

Seeing Janina dragging out a suitcase she hadn't used in years and methodically placing clothes inside, Julius felt a surge of irritation. He thought she was being completely unreasonable.

Janina paused her packing and slowly straightened up to meet his impatient gaze.

"Julius, what do you take me for? You brought her home, so I'm making room for her. Let's get a divorce. We can go to City Hall tomorrow."

With each word, Janina's voice grew louder, until she was shouting at him.

Julius was taken aback. It was the first time he had ever seen her truly angry.

In the more than ten years he'd known her, she had always been gentle, considerate, and calm in the face of everything.

All he'd done was let Yvonne stay with them—it was just one extra person in the house. Was it really necessary for her to get this upset?

What Julius didn't understand was that Janina's gentleness had been reserved exclusively for him.

She had once loved him so fiercely, she would have given this man every last drop of tenderness she possessed.

In the end, it had all been a joke.

Julius rubbed his temples wearily and snatched the suitcase from her hand.

Perhaps worried that Yvonne would overhear their argument, he softened his tone and tried to explain.

"Janina, it's not what you think. I only see her as a sister. And besides…"

Seeing that he had her attention, Julius glanced toward the door, then closed it and walked over to her, placing his hands on her shoulders.
