Follow Me novel Chapter 26

Sadie was startled and her back was covered with cold sweat but she maintained a calm expression, “I’m just feeling unwell from the cold. What made you think that I’m sad?”

Julian looked profoundly at her and hugged her without warning, “Lean onto me and rest for a moment if you’re feeling unwell. We are a married couple after all.”

Sadie lowered her head and rolled her eyes in a position that he couldn’t see. Fuck the married bullshit. He was taking advantage of her for not understanding English. One of these days she wanted him to know that there was a price to pay for bullying her!

She closed her eyes as she was forced into his broad chest and listened to the sound of his strong heartbeat which almost drummed her to sleep.

She suddenly recalled the familiarity of that feeling like she had fallen asleep in his embrace a long long time ago…

She started to get drowsy and fell asleep. When she woke up, the car had already stopped near the villa. The surrounding area outside the car was dark and dimly lit by moonlight. Sadie laid in a trance momentarily in the embrace of Julian.

The backseat wasn’t spacious and was just nice for him. It was obvious that the space was insufficient with her squeezed in but he maintained the same position throughout and didn’t move a bit.

He must have had some secret reasons for choosing her to be his wife. With his abilities, he could have found any kind of woman he wanted.

“We’re home.” Julian lowered his head to kiss her. He struggled slightly to position himself to get out of the car.

Sadie yawned and also got out of the car. Just as she stood up, he suddenly bent over to carry her up and walked in large strides into the villa.

“Are you trying to scare me to death?” Sadie was shocked awake at this point and instinctively held onto his arm.

Did he have some fetish? Why did he like to carry her so much?

After reaching the second floor, he placed her onto a chair and turned to grin at her, “I’ll prepare the water and we’ll have a bath together.”

“I’ll wash on my own!” Sadie stood up angrily and her eyes were filled with rage, “Mind your own business!”

“This is what married partners do together.” Julian grinned. His dashing features and profound eyes hid his displeasure, “What’s the big deal?”

“Mr. Mccarthy, you should seek treatment if you are unwell. Please don’t give up on the treatment.” Sadie retorted and turned her head. When they signed the contract, it was agreed that it was all for show. How things had changed in just a few days.

Julian lowered his head and used his finger to tilt up her chin. His expression revealed that he was up to something, “My illness can only be cured by you.”

He lowered his head slightly and saw clearly the anxiety and panic in her eyes. He grinned unnoticeably. It looked like she was genuinely terrified and would escape if he were to push her any further.

“What do you mean?” Sadie totally didn’t understand what he meant.

“If you continue like that, you’ll only make me…” Julian took out his other hand from his pocket and held her waist firmly. He then gently laughed and said into her ears, “You’re making me hungry for you.”

Sadie reacted and instinctively pushed him away with her hands. She glared at him in surprise and fury, “Pervert!”
