Chapter 68.
Juliette was startled at first. When she smelled the familiar scent of the man, her heart skipped a beat. She opened her arms, buried her face in his chest, and hugged him tightly.
There were countless grievances mixed in her choked voice.
“Mando, I thought you didn’t want me anymore…”
Armando’s eyes glanced over her red eyes, his lips pressed tight. He patted her shoulder to comfort her and said in a pretty cool voice, “If you’re not feeling well, don’t run around. Stay in the ward.”
Juliette had tears in her eyes and snuggled up to the man like a cat,”But I wanted to see you… I just wanted to see you… Mando, I really didn’t lie to you, everything I said was true… Don’t doubt me… I’ve never lied
to you…
The weak and aggrieved voice really made people feel sorry.
Armando went quiet for a moment. Suddenly, he felt a bit upset. He rested his chin on the top of her head and thought for a few seconds, then held her and went back to the hospital room.
Put the person on the bed, Juliette half-knelt, held him tight and wouldn’t let go, looked up with her little head, her eyes red like a rabbit,”Will you stay with me? Just for a while…”
Armando looked at those almond eyes, and something in his eyes was falling apart bit by bit. In the end, he still didn’t say no. He put his big hand into her hair and rubbed it gently, like he was comforting her.
No matter what, Juliette didn’t lie to him, and she got bullied because of Harland.
Juliette pressed her cheek against his shoulder and said softly,”Mando, my mom is getting old, can you let her go? I’ll go to the police station instead of her, I’m begging you. And about the agency stuff, I’ll take it all on myself, my mom can’t handle so much at once, I’m afraid she won’t be able to take it, please don’t post it online, okay?”
Juliette’s pale fingers held onto his clothes, she looked up at him, her throat holding back a sob, tears hanging on her lashes, making people feel really sorry for her.
Armando sighed, held her little face in his big hands, wiped her tears, and was gentle and tender. He paused for a moment and said, “It’s kind of my fault, I didn’t think it through. You’re innocent in this. Later I’ll have Normand go to the police station, and that’s the end of it.”
“As for the contract termination, Jovana already knew about it, there was no turning back. About your agency, I had someone take care of it, no one will bully you anymore. After some time, I’ll find you a new endorsement somewhere else.”
How could they say Juliette was his woman, and those idiots at the agency even dared to mess with her? Juliette looked up with a confused little face, staring at the man. Tears kept falling as she bit her lip and said, “Mando, you didn’t have to do this. I could handle it. I’m just worried about my mom… If it’s because of me that you and Ms. Atherton aren’t getting along, that wouldn’t be good.”
Armando’s big hand slid down her back, and his deep voice was super reassuring, “It’s okay, I’ll take care of Jovana.”

At first glance, the man held the woman gently and comforted her, his tall strong body protecting her, like
she was a treasure.
This scene was so tender, it made others jealous.
But Jovana’s eyes turned red, and they felt so sore. She held back hard and didn’t let the tears fall.
She covered her mouth and left as if she was running away.
“Tomorrow I had Normand go to the police station, and that was the end of it.”
“It’s fine, I’ll handle things with Jovana…”
Every word was like a sharp blade, stabbing into her heart.
In her mind, the scene of the man holding the woman and gently comforting her came up again, and it really stung her eyes.
So it turned out, when Armando first faced Juliette, all his protection and indulgence toward her were
just an act.
He did all this just for show, actually it was to stop her from going to Juliette for trouble…
Jovana smiled bitterly.
In my memory, Armando had always been decisive, but now, for Juliette, he was actually being so thoughtful…
He really loved Juliette, but he played her like a fool.
Tears had already blurred her eyes, Jovana bit her lip until it bled, her legs stiff as she went down the stairs, walking around in a daze, like a lost little kid who didn’t know where she was going…
