Follow Me novel Chapter 40

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Sadie woke up.

She sat up while rubbing her eyes. Then she was upset after vaguely hearing Julian’s voice coming from the bathroom.

No doubt, he must have slept with her on the same bed last night.

Julian's voice became clearer after she lifted the quilt up. "What did he say?"

Sadie stood quietly outside the bathroom door and pricked her ears. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood. His low and sweet voice sounded as if it was stained with a smile. "I know. Send him to the airport and tell him I'm on a business trip."

Just then, it seemed like he has hung up the phone. Then she heard the hair dryer.

Sadie raised her hand and knocked on the door while unconsciously licking the corners of her lips.

The sound of the hair dryer stopped, the lock of the bathroom door made a "click" sound and the door was slowly opened.

"You are awake?" Julian's hand fell on her head and stroked gently with a smile. "Come in and wash yourself up."

Sadie raised her head, and she saw his body was by covered a bath towel. The scene frightened her that she had to look away.

What a pervert! Why was he taking a shower at this time, not to mention not wearing nightgown on purpose?

She dodged his hand and tried to move around him. Her arm was accidentally grabbed, and she fell into his hot arms.

"Mr. Mccarthy..." Sadie blinked, while looking into the mirror at a loss. She was concealing the fear and resentment carefully.

He wouldn't really be that hardcore, would he?

"You haven't kissed me yet." Julian raised his eyes and scanned the mirror indifferently. He looked like a kid begging for candies.

It gave Sadie the creeps, but she still stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek with her eyes closed. "Good morning."

"Good girl." Julian smiled hoarsely, while sliding his hand into her nightgown and stroking her skin freely. "Where do you want to go today?"

The heat in the air was still not cleared, and his hand was unbelievably hot.

Sadie felt stiffness in her back, and her eyes widened with blushing face. "What are you doing!"

"I was measuring your waist." Julian took his hand back calmly. Just then his warm lips pressed against her forehead. He kissed her gently before opening the door.

Sadie closed the door in shock. She was finally relieved like a deflated ball, leaning on the sink.

She became more and more suspicious that there was a past between Julian and her.

When she was with Otto, he was never so intimate with her. He was never affectionate, even when he arranged the most romantic surprise for her, he would not kiss her. He always kissed her on the forehead.

He seemed to be perfunctory, but also seemed to be disgusted by her.

Disgusted... Sadie had the thought in her head suddenly, she then subconsciously looked at the mirror, and covered her face with her hair.

Maybe he would be disgusted by a face like this, wouldn’t he?

Otto was her first boyfriend. When she was in high school, she often saw classmates in a relationship secretly kissing behind the school building, and checking in to hotels.

But Otto never seemed to have thoughts like this.

Julian on the other hand would sometimes act like he wanted to possess her. After all, she could feel his physical reaction when they slept together.

She shook her head, put her hair down and started washing up calmly.

Having made a decision, thinking about it would only increase the discomfort. She felt tears were dripping down her face when brushing her teeth. And she just couldn’t stop crying.

"Are you done, Sadie?" Julian's voice came through the door.
