"Is Julian crazy?" Sadie thought to herself, feeling extremely nervous. They just finished classes, so there would be so many people coming and going.
As she was distracted, Julian's cold fingertips fell on her lips, carefully drawing the shape of her lips. And his low and gentle voice sounded over her head, "Did you miss me?"
His fingers were cold and a bit rough. Sadie shuddered and then answered, "Yes."
Actually, she didn't miss him at all. She even wished him not to show up.
Julian seemed very satisfied with her answer, chuckling. Then he held her hand and walked out from the shade of the tree.
The driver had already driven the car over. The black car was spotlessly clean. The sun cast a golden glow over the car through the branches.
Sadie acted like a thief, watching her surroundings vigilantly.
He was so handsome and conspicuous. If she was seen by her classmates, they might gossip about her.
Walking to the car, Julian let go of her hand, leaned over, opened the car door, and signaled her to get in the car.
Sadie looked up slightly, took a brief glance at him, and then got into the car.
Julian closed the car door, walked around the rear of the car, and got into the car from the other side. The moment the car door closed, Sadie's heart was pounding. She became tense unconsciously.
"Some friends are coming over tonight. Come with me." Julian leaned back in the chair lazily, took her hand naturally, and raised it to his lips to kiss. "After the class in the afternoon, Ted will come back to pick you up to style your hair."
"Okay." Sadie resisted the urge to withdraw her hand and reminded calmly. "I need to go to classes later."
Ted glanced at them through the rearview mirror, which seemed inadvertent. Then he started the car and drove away.
There were not many students passing here, but this car had a special license plate. It would inevitably attract people's attention if it stayed here for a long time.
After driving for a while, Ted drove the car to a secluded place, stopped, and got out of the car. Then he found a corner away from the car, took a cigarette out of his pocket, and lit it.
Julian glanced at Ted through the car window, curving his lips. He chuckled and held Sadie into his arms. "Why you are not feeling happy?"
"No, I'm not." Sadie was forced to fall into his arms. As they were cuddling, she recalled that the police had come to look for her in the morning. She licked her dry mouth and said casually, "What's the matter with the orphanage? Why was it shut down?"
"I'll tell you about it after dinner." Julian's hand covered the back of her head, rubbing lightly. "Don't think about it. You can come to me if you think there's something that you can't solve."
"If you really love me, why do you have to ask Cohen to erase my memory?" Sadie thought to herself, but then she put on a smile, "I see."
Julian beamed again, his charming eyes shining brightly. He raised his hand to look at his watch and rolled down the car window to beckon Ted to come back.
As Sadie saw that he was leaving, she opened the car door knowingly.
"Wait." Julian stopped her, leaned forward, and kissed her forehead. "Focus on class."
Sadie forced a smile, got out of the car as if she were fleeing, and ran back to the school building.
After eating in the cafeteria at noon, Daisy said that her hands were so dry in autumn, so she insisted that Sadie should go to the supermarket to buy hand cream with her.
She didn't really want to buy anything, but she went anyway. Julian bought numerous cosmetics for her. No matter what she needed for her body, he would buy the whole set of cosmetics.
Including clothes, from the inside...to the outside.
Going into the supermarket and taking the cart, she pursed her lower lip as she passed the clothing area. Seeming inadvertent, she asked Daisy how would a man know the cup of a woman's underwear.
"Obviously he touched them," Daisy smirked, covering her mouth. "Why did you ask this suddenly?"
