Follow Me novel Chapter 12

In the back seat of the car.

Julian leaned back in his chair, he clasped his slender hands on his legs, and lazily shut his eyes.

Sadie sat uptight besides him, unable to relax one bit, with a facial expression filled with anger.

For a while, she kept licking her lips, then said in a mocking tone, "Even the CEO has to come collect debt, is DHG Group about to close down?"

Julian raised his eyes slightly, then let out an "hmm" in a lazy, relaxed tone.

Sadie was speechless, then she tugged at her sleeves with both hands and stared at him angrily, "What exactly do you want!"

His silence and "hmm" just now made her feel incredibly frustrated and irritated.

Julian looked at her from the corner of his eyes, then he leaned over and playfully smirked, "What… do you think, hmm?"

She didn't eat dinner yet, so he wanted to take her to supper, yet she didn’t even appreciate his kind gesture.

"Is Mr. Mccarthy lacking women?" Sadie raised her hand and pressed against his chest, blocking him from getting any closer. "Plenty of women out there are willing to serve you head on."

"I'm lacking a wife." Julian glanced down at her hands casually, then smiled, "Sadie, are you trying to seduce me?"

Sadie blinked, then quickly withdrew her hand; the back of her hand was covered with sweat. "Crazy!"

She must be out of her mind to want to seduce him.

Julian leaned forward further, close enough that he could kiss her lips if he lowered his head. He looked on with interest at her annoyed expression, but his smile eventually faded.

It was dim inside car, but neon lights flooded in from both sides of the road, and they revealed the look of fear on her face.

Looking at her, he tried hard to suppress the temptation to kiss her. She was quite an interesting character; it was obvious that she was afraid of him, but she pretended to be calm.

When she was young, she was very obedient yet shy, probably because she was bullied a lot in the Chamber’s Family, and it took her a long time to recover during her stay at the Mccarthy Family, but she still couldn’t get rid of her cowardice.

Forgetting her past completely was probably the greatest gain from such an unfortunate accident. On the first day when she arrived at Howard’s, she had a nightmare and clutched onto her pillow late in the night. Even though she was terrified, she did not dare to cry out loud.

Ever since then, she has slept together with him. He was already used to the days when she slept peacefully in his arms each night. He was used to taking care of and protecting her. He originally planned that, once she turned eighteen, they would go to the United States to get registered for marriage, but who knew that what awaited him was six years of segregation without any news.

"Are you done admiring my face yet?" Sadie felt uncomfortable as he kept staring on at her. She reached out her hand to push him away again, then turning her face away in anger.

She knew she was ugly, but was it really necessary to keep staring at her like this?

"Not yet." Julian gently touched her face, gave it a light squeeze, and then sat back down casually.

Sadie did not dare say anything all night; all she did stare at him in anger. Nutcase! Fool!

The atmosphere dropped into dead silence again, and for a while, no one said a word.

When they arrived at their location, Sadie got out the car. The second she saw the restaurant's sign, her legs felt weak.

It was an incredibly famous Western restaurant; both the atmosphere and the price was not something ordinary people could afford.

Needless to say for someone like her, a poor person with nothing.

Julian shut the car door and turned to look at her. "You don’t like it?"

"I don't dare..." Sadie nearly choked. He wasn’t short of money nor women; so why does he act like a lunatic and keep pestering her?
