Chapter 1629 Nigel Has a Thought
Julian was sitting beside Jessie.
Though he was reading a book, he couldn’t help but notice the beautiful face that was just within his range of sight.
Wisps of black hair were scattered across her gentle, attractive features.
Julian’s heart stirred a little. He was too distracted to read.
In the end, he put his book down and glanced at Nigel, who was taking a nap with Queenie nestled in his arms.
Nigel clearly didn’t sleep well last night.
It was as if Julian was the only one who had a good night’s rest.
Just then, the plane hit a bout of turbulence and Jessie was startled awake.
In her fright, her hands scrambled to grab onto something and ended up grabbing onto Julian’s arm.
Jessie had never gone on a plane ride before. She was noticeably pale with anxiety.
“Relax. Everything’s fine. It’s just a bit of turbulence.” Julian patted Jessie on the shoulder.
However, Jessie couldn’t overcome her fear just yet. She squeezed her eyes shut and started gasping a little.
Julian raised the armrest between them and asked Jessie, “Are you still afraid?”
Jessie nodded. She was paralyzed with fear right now and couldn’t calm down despite knowing that nothing was going to happen to the plane.
Julian reached out and held her shoulders. “Hold me.”
Jessie froze in shock, but the turbulence started getting stronger.
Terrified, she wrapped her arms around him shyly and closed her eyes as she buried her head against his chest.
The scent of him that she took in with every breath seemed to chip away at her fear.
While Julian was busy comforting Jessie, Nigel opened his eyes and saw the two of them in an embrace.
All of a sudden, a thought struck him.
Now that I think about it, it’d be great if Julian and I end up being brothers-in-law.
The four of them would become family.
