CHAPTER 303: CHAPTER 303: I HAVE MY REASONS

Once, she and Julian Xavier were walking past a park, where there was a flower bed filled with sunflowers.

A vast expanse of sunflowers, dazzling like the sun.

At that time, Julian Xavier said to her:

"If I had to use a flower to describe you, it would be the sunflower."

"Why?" Lana Xavier tilted her head, looking at Julian Xavier curiously.

Julian Xavier squinted with a smile and said, "Of course, because you are as radiant and beautiful as a sunflower!"

At that moment, Lana Xavier felt like Cupid’s arrow had struck her in the chest, her face blushing instantly.

Standing in the office, holding a large bouquet of sunflowers, Lana Xavier’s heart raced uncontrollably.

"Could it be..."

Could it really be Julian Xavier who sent them to her?

Lana Xavier opened her mouth wide, moving it several times, but didn’t know what to say.

In her memory, only Julian Xavier had ever praised her for being like a sunflower.

But...

Why would Julian Xavier send her flowers?

Hadn’t he already broken up with her?

And the whole bouquet was without a signature.

Lana Xavier’s mind was restless, unable to focus any longer on preparing her lessons.

After work, Lana Xavier was at a loss holding the large bouquet of sunflowers.

Several times, she took out her phone, wanting to call Julian Xavier.

However, thinking of how Julian Xavier broke up with her, saying he had fallen for Serena Jennings, Lana Xavier’s heart ached too much to muster the courage to call him.

Unknowingly, she stood at the entrance of the training school for a long time, long enough for the sky to turn completely dark before Lana Xavier slowly made her way to the parking lot.

Just as she had put the large bouquet of sunflowers into the car, suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed someone hiding in the corner of the wall.

That person was so familiar to her.

Was it Julian Xavier?!

The Julian Xavier she thought about day and night!

Lana Xavier was completely taken aback.

As soon as their eyes met, Julian Xavier, who was hiding in the corner, turned his head and ran.

Lana Xavier instinctively chased after him immediately.

She usually dressed casually and wasn’t wearing high heels, so her running speed was quite fast.

After chasing him for two streets, she finally caught up with Julian Xavier.

"Julian Xavier!"

Lana Xavier shouted behind Julian Xavier.

Julian Xavier stopped, his back facing Lana Xavier.

Lana Xavier’s eyes suddenly stung with tears.

"Do you hate me so much that you have to run as soon as you see me?"

As soon as she started speaking, Lana Xavier’s voice choked with emotion.

When Julian Xavier turned around, Lana Xavier, just two steps away, was already in tears.

"Lana..."

Julian Xavier immediately stepped forward and pulled Lana Xavier into his embrace with force.

Lana Xavier couldn’t stop crying, surprised that Julian Xavier actually hugged her so willingly.

"Julian Xavier, you..."

Julian Xavier’s arms wrapped tightly around her, as if wanting to meld her into his own body.

Lana Xavier’s heart involuntarily raced.

It was clear from Julian Xavier’s embrace that he still had feelings for her.

Under the night sky, Lana Xavier and Julian Xavier held each other tightly.

Fortunately, there weren’t many pedestrians on this street, or else their actions would surely attract a crowd.

"Lana, let’s go for a walk over there, shall we?"

"Hmm... okay..."

Lana Xavier nodded with a flushed face.

The corners of Julian Xavier’s lips curved slightly upward.

When it came to his suggestions or requests, Lana Xavier had never once said "no."

Julian Xavier and Lana Xavier walked side by side into a nearby small park.

At this time, there weren’t many people in the park.

Julian Xavier took Lana Xavier to the bridge.

Lana Xavier leaned on the bridge railing, while Julian Xavier leaned against the bridge.

The lake water shimmered, but it was quite dark all around.

The two remained silent, until finally, Lana Xavier spoke first:

"Today... I received a bouquet of sunflowers, was it... from you?"

Lana Xavier’s words were hesitant, filled with anticipation, yet afraid of disappointment.

"Yes, it was me."

Julian Xavier readily admitted.

Lana Xavier’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Julian Xavier.

"Why? Why send me flowers? Didn’t you say you don’t love me anymore? Didn’t you already break up with me?"

As she spoke, Lana Xavier found herself on the verge of tears again.

She felt so useless.

She was only dumped by Julian Xavier; was it really necessary to always cry?

Clearly, Lana Xavier thought she hated such lovelorn and weak women, yet after falling for Julian Xavier, she became the type of woman she despised the most.

Thinking about it suffocated her even more.

However, she couldn’t control herself.

She couldn’t make her heart stop hurting.

Nor could she stop her heart from being drawn to Julian Xavier.

Julian Xavier gazed at Lana Xavier’s tearful face, then gently held up her face with both hands, as if handling something fragile.

Lana Xavier was forced to look up and meet Julian Xavier’s eyes.

In the dark night, Julian Xavier’s eyes were brighter than the stars, full of tenderness and affection.

Lana Xavier immediately heard her own heartbeat, pounding like a drum.

Before she realized it, Julian Xavier’s lips were already pressed against hers.

Lana Xavier’s eyes widened in surprise.

Julian Xavier naturally pried open her lips and teeth, his tongue exploring from gentle probing to a full conquest of her mouth.

Lana Xavier was kissed breathless by Julian Xavier.

She was tense with nervousness, her whole body rigid, yet her knees felt weak.

Weren’t she and Julian Xavier already broken up, so why was he kissing her?

Julian Xavier gave Lana Xavier a deep kiss, his lips moving down to her neck, and even down further to her chest.

"No, don’t..."

Lana Xavier instinctively resisted, pushing Julian Xavier away.

To her surprise, Julian Xavier indeed stopped kissing her and stepped back.

In the dim light, she could still see the disappointment in Julian Xavier’s eyes, as if he was deeply wounded.

"I-I’m sorry..."

Lana Xavier hurriedly bowed her head to apologize.

She didn’t even understand why she was apologizing.

But seeing the disappointment in Julian Xavier’s eyes, she couldn’t help but feel guilty.

"It’s not your fault, Lana, it’s me..."

Lana Xavier saw Julian Xavier lower his head, his hands clenched into fists, as if restraining something desperately.

"We’ve already broken up... I shouldn’t treat you like this..."

"Julian Xavier..."

"But I still love you!"

Suddenly, Julian Xavier raised his head and said this to Lana Xavier.

The expression on Julian Xavier’s face was so sincere, his voice trembling with emotion.

Lana Xavier was completely stunned, as if being struck by lightning.

"You... what did you say? You still love me?"

"Yes."

"Then why break up with me?"

Lana Xavier’s heart raced as she listened to Julian Xavier speak earnestly:

"I have my reasons..."
