Chapter 181 Blinding

Julia Land turned her head away, looking elsewhere.

She no longer looked at James Thompson.

James Thompson tugged at his lips, the color in his eyes turning colder.

The moment the lights in the banquet hall brightened, Julia Land pursed her red lips, trying hard to pull her hand away.

In the instant the light came on, James Thompson still let go of Julia Land's hand.

He still didn't want to force her this way.

He sat up straight, the scent of her perfume fading almost imperceptibly from the tip of his nose.

The hand that had just been clutching Julia Land's clenched into a fist, as if to hold onto the feeling of holding her small hand.

A whole five years had passed.

He missed her, missed her until his temples turned gray.

Julia Land was momentarily stunned.

The warmth on her hand had already left.

Matthew Moore came over with a glass of wine to call Julia Land; he wanted to introduce her to people in the circle.
