JULIAN
As Julian and Lexi's relationship became more public, criticism mounted.
"Julian Blackwood Moves On Too Quickly!"
"Lexi Thompson: Gold-Digger or Genuine Love?"
Tabloids and social media platforms buzzed with negativity.
Lexi tried to brush it off, but I could see the toll it took.
"Hey, I'm sorry," I said, pulling her close. "I know it's hard."
"It's not your fault," Lexi replied. "We expected this."
But I knew she hurt.
One evening, at a charity event, we faced the critics head-on.
"Julian, how do you respond to claims you're moving too fast?" a reporter asked.
"I've found love with an incredible woman," I replied. "We're happy, and that's all that matters."
Lexi's hand slipped into mine.
"We're focused on our relationship and family," she added. "Negativity won't bring us down."
The room erupted in applause.
As we left, Lexi leaned into me.
"Thank you for standing up for us."
"Always," I whispered.
