Follow Me novel Chapter 22

The car drove away, and the sound of the engine slowly faded. Sadie didn’t know where Julian was going, and she didn’t bother finding out about it. She finished her meal and went upstairs.

There wasn’t anybody else in the mansion except for Amina and two other servants.

She didn’t want to take a shower nor go to sleep, but the two servants kept staring at her silently like guard dogs.

She had no choice but to agree to let them prepare the bathing water.

She took out her phone and remembered that Julian said that her old phone broke from a fall. She quickly looked at the contacts saved on her phone.

Luckily, the important contacts were still saved on her phone. He did help her moved her contacts over from her old phone. Though, the messages from Otto were all gone.

She closed her eyes and her chest hurt.

She was now living in Julian’s mansion, she even signed the wedding agreement. She had no right to continue being in a relationship with Otto.

She hugged the phone and fell onto the bed. She blinked her eyes and tears started to well up in her eyes.

“Lady Sadie, the bath is ready. Master Julian ordered that you had to take a shower before you sleep.” The servant stood in front of the bed and reminded her politely, “Please don’t make it difficult for us.”

Sadie opened her eyes and wiped off her tears with the blanket. She stood up and went into the bathroom.

The servant had prepared her pyjamas and the bathtub was already filled with water. She took off her clothes and looked at herself carefully in the mirror, she lifted her hand and touched her collarbone unconsciously.

Why did he mention wanting to bring her to the tattoo parlour? Was it because this scar was too ugly, or was there another reason for it?

She touched the protruding part of the scar, it was a bit lumpy.

Dean Esme never told her how she got this scar. She first saw this scar after she woke up at the hospital. Though she never paid much attention to this scar, she would occasionally touch it and that was it.

She felt like the part where she got the scar held a special meaning. She shook her head, and she stepped into the tub.

The tub was wide and comfortable.

Julian’s shaver was by the washbasin. There were also some other toiletries by the washbasin and an unopened makeup set.

Sadie looked away and closed her tired eyes.

She needed to calm down. She needed to think of a way to learn about her identity from Julian.

He had to know who she was!

She thought for a long time and fell asleep eventually. By the time she woke up, she was already on the bed. There was a light and thin silk blanket on her.

She opened her eyes and saw Julian coming out of the bathroom. He was wearing a white cotton pyjama with his chest exposed, she could see his well-toned pecs going up and down.

She was staring for a while until she suddenly realized that she was buck naked. Her face turned dark immediately, “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to sleep.” Julian glanced at her with an ambiguous expression in his eyes. He threw the towel on his hand to one side and lied down next to her nonchalantly.

Sadie was shocked speechless. She wanted to grab the blanket and get out of the bed, but she didn’t have any strength.

“Go to sleep, take the day off tomorrow. I’ve already told your headteacher about it.” Julian covered himself up with the blanket, inched closer and hugged her familiarly. He held her tightly in his arm and whispered, “Good night.”

Sadie was so appalled she broke out in a cold sweat. She straightened her legs and kicked him, she then wrapped herself in the blanket and yelled, “Pervert! Get away from me!”

Julian squinted his eyes, and his eyes were smiling dubiously. He leapt towards her and imprisoned her between the mattress and himself, he then said mischievously, “I’m your husband, there’s nothing perverted about husband and wife sleeping together in the same bed.”

“You sure are thick-skinned!” Sadie glared at him furiously, the thin silk blanket had creases on it because she was grasping on it hard, so hard that her knuckles turned white. “I want to look at the agreement!”

“I will let you look at it if only you can understand it.” Julian laid down next to her, he spread open the blanket with his inhumane strength and yanked her over.
