New Life

About Maxilian

Hanna looked at Julia then shook her head accompanied by a faint smile. "Rose was exiled, and my aunt's entire family was destroyed. The Lindsey family had the same fate. Even more astonishing, the order was passed down directly from my grandfather's lips. Are you satisfied? Maxilian gained the support of his grandfather and now holds almost all of the Lunox family's assets.

Julia's smile grew. His eyes glared far away and somehow complacency followed him. "Well, I'm just a weak woman who was scared, hurt and even persecuted to the point of almost taking her life."

Hanna choked as if to mock. She can hardly believe everything Julia does. If he had not known Julia well, he would have been fooled by everything she said.

"you expect me to believe?"

"Is that a compliment?"

Hanna held back a laugh. This woman before him was truly cunning and would not let time pass without gain. "You're gonna get a big reward from my grandmother for an apology for the wound on your back. Are you satisfied?"

Julia smiled cynically without interest. This may be called a bonus or compensation. But the one he really wanted. China, yes, he would love to go to China to make things clear. There is an unresolved grudge there.

"You look unhappy, shouldn't you be happy?" ask Hanna carefully. He was trying to guess what Julia was thinking.

"I want to.."

"Someone's coming." cut Hanna to make Julia not continue her words.

And sure enough, the door of the room opened after a knock several times. Julia changed again the expression of her once calm face to poor. The face returned grim and looked in pain. He had to show his weak body that had just come to consciousness from his sleep.

"Ayoyo, my daughter-in-law's granddaughter, my poor daughter-in-law's granddaughter. You must be so scared."

Hanna immediately held back her laughter when she found out it was Mery and accompanied Lucas behind her. He leaves to give his grandparents space to see Julia more closely. Seeing Mery who immediately hugged Haru Julia with sincerity.

"Ayoyo, ayoyo my poor daughter-in-law's granddaughter."

"Grandmother" said Julia weakly accompanied by a gentle smile on Mery who hugged her.

"Don't say anything, I know you must be very scared. Ayoyo, my poor girl."

A warm, affectionate embrace hit his heart. I don't know since when he never again gets a warm hug and genuine attention from someone. Mery gave it to me. Her tears are melting.

"Grandmother." call Julia softly and instantly her cries break. He nodded in Mery's arms violently.

Seeing that Lucas cleared his throat and got closer. He touches Julia's feet and sees them hugging. "You take it easy, Grandpa has overcome all. Julia, I'm apologizing on behalf of my family."

Hearing Lucas' words, Julia's cries became harder to stop. He just nodded his head in resignation seeing the attention and affection he had gotten from these two old men. The situation happened a few minutes later, until Hanna came home and Mery and Lucas replaced Julia.

"Is your back still hurting? Jeni said they slapped you many times and you protected her life. Even so I still punish him."

"Grandmother, I can't let Jeni get hurt." Julia replied gently.

"That's his job."

"I haven't even remembered much since I was unconscious" Julia said. He doesn't even know who took him to the hospital.

"Rose's a craze, and Zelin's there too. Maxilian came a little late, and you almost ran out of blood when he found you. While Jeni was a little overwhelmed against ten Zelin men . Rose almost stabbed your heart if Maxilian hadn't come. Julia, I can't imagine how scared you were at the time."

Julia saw how Mery's hand touched, then clasped her hand carefully. He smiled faintly and nodded his head.

Mery patted Julia gently. "True, everyone must have been terrified to see Lindsey's death. I didn't think Rose was that crazy to master it all.

"Grandmother, that..."

"He even dared to poison Lindsey, and that tea, have you drunk it? I heard from Jeni you didn't touch her because you were alert.

Julia nodded again.

"Good boy, you did the right thing. The tea was already Rose poison. So it'd be very dangerous if you drank it."

Lucas, who was silent, said. "That's right, Maxilian made sure of it."

Julia's face was shining. "Grandmother, what happened to Rose?"

"From the beginning he was just an outsider. So his mother took him off her family list. And now Maxilian has handled it. You don't have to worry, he'll get a reply that can deter him.

"Maxilian handled it? Grandma, don't be so hard on him. Maybe Rose loves Maxilian too much."

Mery grunting. "Look who's talking? you've been hurt but you still think it's good. He wanted Maxilian from long ago. But I can confirm that the little fly doesn't seem to be able to fly near my grandson."

"grandmother."

"Ayoyo, my daughter-in-law's good granddaughter. Come here, let grandma hold you."

Lucas smiled at Mery and Julia's closeness. He sat in the guest chair and let the two tell a warm story. While Julia listened quietly to the story of Mery, even occasionally they laughed together, or frowned when they did not understand about some things about the Lunox family or about the maxilian. He could only be fixated on listening to Mery's understated voice.

"Maxilian, he's not really a bad boy. He's just a child victim of his parents' cruelty."

"The cruelty of parents?" ask Julia to make sure.

Mery nodded. He sighed deeply at the old memories he had stored. "He's big far out of my reach. He went to China with his mother and father. And I didn't know that he was having trouble. His father cheated on him until he had a child. And it made my daughter, maxilian's mother shaken and almost mad."

Julia's eyes widened to hear that fact. Have kids? Does that mean the boy is Aaron? They really are brothers?

"Every day my daughter comes home drunk and beats up my little Lian. That brat never rebelled even if his body was covered in wounds. He just kept quiet and let his body become his mother's impingement. He just whimpered the pain in silence. He, his heart, was too hurt and disappointed."

Mery was crying and looking down. Makes Julia grab Mery's hand and hold it gently.

"Grandmother, maybe at that time Lian had no other choice."

Mery nodded. "You're right. He hates being left out. He had been abandoned by his father, that was why he would not leave even if his mother beat him. No matter what he tried to survive in the long difficult circumstances. But in the end he was left behind by his mother in death."

Julia stunned. This reality squeezed the tip of his heart. He could not imagine how difficult maxilian was at that moment. But now he understood more and more why Maxilian was always cold and cruel. The man tried to protect his heart from getting hurt again.

"Grandmother, she's grown up well. He has become a great man because he has a great man like you."

Mery is crying. "The bad boy is unruly and prefers solitude. But I know his heart is very lonely. He was only used to living alone until he became a closed person. He's also very stubborn."

Julia smile. Unconsciously, she was crying too. Removing her tears, she looked at Mery's beautiful face.

"I can't forgive myself when I know she's lonely. Be beaten every day and make a living alone. My granddaughter, my darling, her heart is deeply wounded. He never complained once, but that added to my injuries. I want to hear his complaint just once. I want him to tell me about his pain, about the wounds on his body and the difficulty he works. I also want to hear how he misses his father and mother. But he just kept quiet, endured and harbored it himself. That brat, I'm his grandmother, why didn't he tell me."

And now Julia's crying broke. He did not know that Maxillian felt such pain. He doesn't know how bad Maxilian is. He doesn't know his past man is the one Maxilian hates.

"Julia, promise me." Pinta Mery suddenly. She grabbed Julia's two hands with a pleading gaze.

"Grandma, what are you doing,"

"Please promise me that you won't leave Lian. Promise me you'll always be by her side and guard her heart. I could see the worry in his eyes when I saw you get hurt. His heart has accepted you, so I can't let him be lonely anymore. I can't."

"Grandmother, i..."

"Julia, you have to promise me to take care of her."

In the end Julia nodded her head. "I'll try."

Mery smiled in her tears. "Good boy. Now I can relax."

In Mery's warm embrace, Julia was still frozen. He still did not believe the new reality he had heard. Aaron and Maxilian are brothers. Will Maxilian be a hindrance to her revenge? And hisfather. Will Aaron's father, Maxilian's father, be in his way? Julia thinks.
