Chapter 36 It\u2019s You Who Came in Between\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet saw Troy in the video, fully aware of his identity, but her expression did not change; she even smiled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen enjoy your meal with your friend. I won\u2019t bother you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay. Oh, Juliet, I won\u2019t be coming back tonight. If my dad asks, please tell him I was just hanging out with a friend. Thanks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTake good care of yourself, don\u2019t get hurt like the other night. Both your dad and I would worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s eyelids lifted slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla got hurt at home, and Troy went over in the middle of the night-Juliet must have known.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMm, don\u2019t worry, Juliet. I can take care of myself. Even if I can\u2019t \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy finished her sentence. \u201cShe\u2019s got me here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet looked pleased. \u201cI understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The video ended there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as Ayla entered the room, her gaze stayed on Juliet\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The face shape, the nose, the mouth, the gentle expression-all almost identical to her mother\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only the eyes were different.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mother\u2019s eyes had sharper lines, colder; her aunt had beautiful, slightly seductive eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even at 40, she looked just over 30. She was such a stunning woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet looked happily at her long-unseen niece. \u201cWhen did you get here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI came when you said you\u2019d be giving Skyla her birthday gift.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet did not respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stared at Juliet without blinking, her gaze a straight line. \u201cDo you remember my birthday was last month?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
|||\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u0f51\u0f7a\u0f0b\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet\u2019s eyes wavered slightly under Ayla\u2019s cold, quiet stare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve just been too busy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s important in your heart, no matter how busy you are, you\u2019d remember. Like me, I remember your birthday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet\u2019s expression turned cold. \u201cAyla, what do you mean by that? Are you blaming me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her face change, Ayla realized she was jealous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had not felt jealous when Troy was with Skyla; she had just accepted it, and stepped back after the divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But her aunt, a relative who looked so much like her mother\u2026 She could not help wanting a bit of her attention and love.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A little jealousy was not too much, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n
And it was just about her birthday; she had not even mentioned Troy, yet Juliet got defensive\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
S\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla clenched her hands and whispered, \u201cI want to blame you, but I have no right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, inexplicably, she cried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her body reacted before her mind did, showing sorrow and upset.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How strange.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It had probably been a year since she had seen her aunt, and seeing her reminded her of her mother, along with Troy \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
In her darkest moment, realizing her aunt cared more for others, she naturally became emotional.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her crying was no longer quiet; it was full of grievance, her lips pouting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet\u2019s heart felt sliced open seeing Ayla like that\u00a0<\/p>\n
She thought of her eldest sister, Juliana Walker, who had been driven crazy by a man, and three years ago had secretly jumped into the sea\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though her body was never found, she was almost certainly gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had lost her mother at such a young age and could not rely on her father-life had not been easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
