Chapter 111: His Trauma
"Grandma is happy," Derick pulled Julia closer to him. "Someone has made grandma very happy..." he pecked on her lips.
Dorothy was very happy to get to eat fresh hog meat or lunch. And she was raining praises on Julia for making the kill. But it looked like Julia was not very happy with the situation.
It made Derick’s heart jump in fright.
"Well," Julia let out a deep breath. "I didn’t think that I have it... I think Rory helped me..?" She said leaning on his chest.
"But she was at the other side!" Derick hugged her.
He knew Rory helped her. He knows how much of a sharpshooter Rory is. For her to miss so many shots... There should be only one reason for that.
But Rory does not want Julia to know that.
"Maybe she purposefully missed..?" Julia played with his buttons.
"Does it matter?" He asked.
Rory has her way of doing things and showing love. And often times others misinterpret it. Julia is a strong woman with her own opinions. And she wouldn’t like it if her win was handed over to her by someone.
But he cannot blame Rory. Rory did it because she wanted to welcome Julia to the family. And she wanted grandma to like Julia.
What should he do when both sides are not wrong in their beliefs? How should he handle it?
