Chapter 274

Julien immediately sensed the change in Shelmaine's mood. Without rushing her, he spoke gently, "Don't be afraid. There's nothing we can't talk about. You're about to be my wife, and I'll be your husband. Shelly, you can tell me anything." Shelmaine gripped her pants tightly, not speaking for a long time. As traffic eased up, Julien began slowly moving again. When they finally arrived at Shelmaine's apartment, she didn't get out of the car. Instead, she quietly said, "Julien, I'm sorry." "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?" Julien looked at her with clear eyes. "What is it that you can't say to me?" Shelmaine felt her heart tighten. She had rehearsed the words countless times in her head, tormenting herself as she thought about it. After a long pause, she said, "Julien, I need to tell you something…" Just as she had gathered the courage to speak, Julien's phone rang, interrupting the moment. He was about to decline the call, but Shelmaine said, "Take it. We can talk later."
