La afirmación de Blake de que nunca había autorizado a Martin a amenazarme.
At that, Julian became completely still.
“What did you say?”
“Blake says Martin told him that all communication had to go through legal channels, but he never instructed him to block me entirely.”
Julian placed his coffee on the table without taking a sip.
The silence between us suddenly felt different.
I noticed immediately.
“Julian.”
He didn’t respond.
“What do you know?”
His jaw tightened.
“Martin lied to me too.”
My pulse quickened. “About what?”
Julian glanced toward the kitchen again and lowered his voice.
“When you first arrived in Chicago after the boys were born, I asked Martin about the divorce. I wanted to understand why Blake had never shown up. He told me Blake knew about the pregnancy.”
Mis manos se volvieron frías.
“He said Blake knew?”
Julian slowly nodded.
“He told me Blake believed the children might not be his and refused to get involved unless a court ordered a paternity test. He said you turned that down.”
