Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 1660

Utterly stunned, Mandy's hand halted mid-air, the sting of impact pulsing through her palm. She had landed a hard slap on Jonah's face instead.

Julien gazed at Jonah, who had unhesitatingly shielded him, his heart pounding so hard that it was about to explode. "Jonah, I..." "Aunt Mandy, please do not hit Julien. He's not to be blamed. It's all my fault."

A deathly silence descended on the corridor after Jonah addressed Mandy. His calmness in the face of unyielding pressure felt the more pitiful. "Julien has suffered through beatings for me and the Taylor family. I do not ever want to put him through anything like that. I will protect him to the best of my ability."

Jonah's declaration caught everyone by surprise. Meanwhile, Julien's head hung low. Though Jonah's gesture touched him, he found himself weighed down by guilt and self-blame.

Since childhood, Edgar and Mandy had instilled in him the belief that he was the hope of the Lovelace family, thus impressing upon him the expectation to become a responsible and independent man.

Contrary to expectations, Julien had become a troublemaker, incapable of bringing any value to the family. He lamented, feeling like he didn't deserve to be called a man.

"Jonah, you said Julien was beaten. What does that mean?" Alyssa's chest tightened.

"Julien has been in a bad place ever since he left the Lovelace family," Jonah recalled the frightening red marks on Julien's fair complexion. He clenched his fist to suppress his anger. "When Julien heard about Dad's relapse, he rushed over to treat Dad despite suffering from injuries."

Mandy grew nervous. "Did the Lovelaces. punish him by the family rule?"

"Jonah, stop it." Julien tugged at Jonah's sleeve and shook his head defeatedly. He said in a barely audible voice, "Just drop it. It's all in the past. You don't have to explain on my behalf."
