Adele Horne rested her head on Julia Bluen's shoulder and wept unrestrainedly, crying her heart out. Julia, like a gentle mother, softly patted her back. This small gesture deeply touched Adele. Even her own mother had rarely consoled her this way.
In the past, acting on behalf of Orlando Evans, she had constantly looked down on Julia Bluen. From the moment she learned Julia was with her elder brother, she had taken it upon herself to warn Julia, as if her brother needed her approval to marry. After Julia married into the family, Adele had treated her coldly, often mocking her and picking fights. She had also instigated their mother more than once, trying to make her dislike Julia.
She believed she would never accept Julia and even thought she would one day drive Julia back to the Bluen Family. It wasn't until her elder brother furiously defended Julia that she realized she could never break them apart.
