Chapter 881 Dallin Was a Jerk
Julien gripped the steering wheel even tighter.
Sydney could see his veins bulging on the backs of his hands.
"Actually, my parents have never shared a bed," Julien said.
Sydney covered her mouth in surprise, "Really?"
"Yes!" Julien nodded, no expression on his face, "My mother wrote that in her diary. She used to
keep a diary. My mother didn''t love my father, so she couldn''t ept him. And my father was a
proud man. He never forced himself on her. After they got married, although they lived in the same
room, one of them lived in the bedroom and the other one lived in a small bedroom converted from
the checkroom. They never had sex, so my mother could not get pregnant. But they had to give an
heir to the family, so they went to the hospital and had IVF and had me."
"I can''t believe that." Sydney''s mouth dropped open in surprise and her heart raced.
What Julien said shocked her.
"Did your grandmother know about that?" Sydney asked.
Julien shook his head, "No. I didn''t even know it until I read my mother''s diary."
Sydney put her hand on the back of Julien''s hand. She felt sympathy for him.
Julien''s parents didn''t love each other, and they gave birth to Julien to fulfill their mission. It was as
if Julien was a tool, and his parents never expected him.
"Julien..." Sydney called out in a choked voice. She wanted tofort him, but she didn''t know
what to say.
She was afraid she would identally hurt him.
Julien sensed Sydney''s dilemma, and he ced his other hand on hers and gave a bitter smile,
"Don''t worry. Although they didn''t look forward to my birth, they were responsible parents. They both
loved me. I had a happy childhood."
When Julien''s mother was alive, she loved Julien very much. After her death, Julien''s father married
Velma. And Velma was kind to Julien.
And Julien’s father loved him as much as ever after he married again, so Julien never felt sad about
his childhood.
Sydney believed what Julien said was true. He hadn''t lied tofort her.
Sydney sighed with relief, "That''s good." Then she continued, "Did your mother not love your father
for Dallin''s sake?"
''Because she loved Dallin, she couldn''t ept Julien''s father.''
Julien nodded, "Yes. My mother wrote in her diary that she and Dallin had made a deal. After she
married my father and then gave birth to a baby, she would divorce him when the kid grew old
enough to understand her. Then she would get back with Dallin. And my mother told Dallin that she
would not have sex with my father and that she would get pregnant through in vitro fertilization. She
wanted Dallin to do that for her, too."
"Did Dallin agree?" Sydney asked.
Immediately, however, Sydney realized she shouldn’t have asked the question.
If Dallin had agreed with that, there would be no Greta.
"My mother wrote in her diary that Dallin had promised her that he would wait for her until she
divorced my father. I still remember how happy my mother seemed on that day ording to her
diary, but..."
Julien''s face clouded over.
Sydney squeezed Julien’s hand gently. "But Dallin cheated on your mother and had Greta with
another woman, so when you heard at the police station that Greta was Dallin''s daughter and that
she was only three years younger than you, you got emotional and angry."

A storm rose in Julien''s eyes. "Yes, I did feel angry about that. My mother waited ten years for
Dallin, but he betrayed my mother three yearster and had a daughter with another woman. My
mother didn’t know the man she loved had betrayed her until she died. Perhaps Dallin had betrayed
my mother at an earlier time. Maybe he had betrayed my mother before my mother married my
father!"
Sydney was speechless.
''Julien''s suspicion can be true. Many men cheat on their girlfriends.
''Those men think that love and sex are different things. Some men are even so shameless that they
say to a woman, ‘Even though I had sex with another woman, you are the only woman I love.’
''Those men were so disgusting!’
Sydney guessed that Dallin was one of those men.
Sydney showed a look of disgust in her eyes. "I feel sorry for your mother. She never knew the true
color of the man he loved."
''Since Dallin couldn''t keep his promise, he shouldn''t have made that promise in the first ce. Men
who break a promise are liars!''
Now Sydney felt indignant for Julien''s mother.
Julien''s mother had always kept her promise to Dallin. She had never slept in the same bed with
Julien''s father for Dallin''s sake.
But Dallin betrayed Julien''s mother. He gave her his promise, but he got together with another
woman and had a daughter.
Sydney felt sorry for Julien''s mother. She now understood why Julien''s mothermitted suicide.
Before, Sydney did not understand why Julien''s mother killed herself.
Sydney thought that although Julien''s mother loved Dallin, she had to break up with him and marry
Julien''s father, so it was okay for Dallin to marry another woman.
But now she knew that Julien''s mother and Dallin had a deal.
Julien''s mother had been keeping her promise and waiting for Julien to grow up so she could get
back with Dallin.
However, Dallin had already betrayed Julien’s mother long ago, and just as Julien''s mother was
about to divorce Julien''s father, she heard that Dallin was going to marry another woman.
Julien''s mother had waited for so many years. She was finally going to divorce Julien''s father, but
then she heard the news. She must have been devastated.
She waited for Dallin for ten years, but Dallin destroyed her dream. Julien''s mother couldn''t take it,
so she killed herself.
Perhaps at that time, Julien''s mother realized that her ten-year wait was a joke, but she couldn''t go
back or move on, so she chose to end her life.
Sydney felt sympathy for Julien’s mother. She took a long breath and gave a sad expression, "Dallin
is responsible for your mother''s death. He''s a murderer. He shouldn''t have given your mother the
promise if he couldn''t keep it. And he shouldn''t have broken his promise after he made it. He had
Greta with another woman, and he was going to get married. Even though he broke off the
engagement after hearing about your mother''s death, your mother was dead. He gave your mother
hope, but he destroyed her hope with his own hands. He..."
"He should go to hell!" Julien cut Sydney off and snarled through his clenched teeth.
Sydney responded, "Yes. He''s a jerk to have betrayed your mother."
Sydney wondered what Dallin''s feelings were for Julien''s mother at the moment.
''Maybe he didn''t love Julien''s mother anymore, or maybe he did.
''But even if he did have feelings for Julien''s mother, it was disgusting.''
