At this time, everyone was fast asleep. What was he to do?
He took out his cell phone and entered Julia Bluen's phone number, but he didn't make the call. He couldn't bear to disturb her peaceful slumber.
Giving up on calling, Glades Horne got out of the car. He leaned against it, arms crossed, and quietly watched the three-story Main House of the Bluen Family mansion. Julia lived on the second floor, and his gaze remained fixed on a specific spot there.
Suddenly, his mind flashed back several days to when he had been abandoned by Ruby Bluen.
He had been angry, embarrassed, bewildered, and dejected, but there was no trace of that bone-deep heartache.
As he had been drinking, a question had actually crossed his mind. Logically, being dumped by a girlfriend of many years in front of the Civil Affairs Office should have been heart-wrenching. So why hadn't he felt that way?
Huh? A light came on.
