Chapter 139
“Did you use this method to make girls happy when you were with them in the past?” Julia subconsciously blurted out. She had never seen Harry with other women, but she knew that every woman who had been with Harry was unwilling to leave him.
Of course, women who did not want to be separated from Harry would always like other things besides his family background. Therefore, she could not help but wonder if Harry used the same way when interacting with every woman.
Harry did not answer immediately. Instead, he was trying to figure out the meaning behind Julia’s question. Although he did not understand women, he could tell from Julia’s tone that this question was not simple.
When Julia saw that he didn’t answer after a long time, she thought he did not want to answer, so she walked forward. “It’s fine if you don’t want to answer. Anyway, I don’t care that much. I’m just a little curious. You’ve changed too much recently. I’m not mentally prepared at all.”
After a while, Harry replied seriously from behind, “No. I don’t have the time to coax them.” To put it precisely, Harry had never slept with these women even though he had too many scandals. The public exaggerated everything.
He only didn’t want to explain and didn’t want to pay attention to it, so he let such a thing continue to fester. But now, he regretted ignoring it back then.
“Really?” Julia suddenly stopped.
Harry was extremely serious. “Yes.” After a while, the two of them continued walking for a while. Then, he slowly said, “I’ve never been good at coaxing women, let alone wasting time on boring things.”
To Harry, coaxing a woman was a boring thing. Even when he faced Arya back then, he had never patiently coaxed her.
Harry was too serious. If Julia did not believe Harry, she would think that she was being picky. She waved her hand and said, “I was just asking casually. You don’t have to take it to heart.”
“Well, my transformation wasn’t sudden. It’s just that you never noticed it,” said Harry.
A sudden clap of thunder fell from the night sky, drowning out Harry’s voice. Julia was shocked and covered her ears with her hands. She turned to Harry and quickly said, “We’d better go back. It looks like it’s going to rain later.”
Thunderclaps sounded one after another. What Julia feared the most was thunderclaps. She could not wait to rush home in the shortest time possible with the fastest speed. Moreover, besides the thunderclaps, the sky was filled with dense lightning.
Lightning was about to split the dark clouds in the night sky. The sky was as bright as day from time to time. standing on the mountain, they could have a panoramic view of the scenery below. However, Julia was not in the mood to admire the scenery. She held Harry’s hand and kept looking back.
“What did you just say?” Julia asked as they walked. When Harry spoke, it just so happened that she did not hear him. She only felt that what he said seemed important.
Harry looked at his hand, held by Julia, and felt Julia’s slightly cold temperature. No one knew what he was thinking, and he did not hear what Julia said.
“We have to walk faster. What will happen to your wound if we encounter heavy rain later?” While speaking, Julia kept accelerating her pace. Harry’s wound was recovering very well now. He definitely could not touch the water at this critical moment to cause his wound to be injured a second time.
A succession of thunderbolts kept interrupting their voices. Julia wanted to get home before the rain.
They had walked a little far today. Before they could return home, a bolt of lightning struck, and it rained heavily. Rain of the size of beans fell from the sky.

Julia’s vision was already poqr at night. Coupled with the heavy rain obstructing her vision and being worried about Harry’s wound, Julia was anxious to return home, but she accidentally tripped over something on the ground and fell to the ground.
To protect her, Harry used his own body to cushion Julia’s fall.
“Hiss…” Harry hissed in pain.
The rain drenched Julia’s hair and clothes and entered her eyes along her forehead, blurring her vision. In the darkness, Julia kept touching Harry’s wound. It was already wet. Julia did not know if it was the blood from Harry’s wound or the
rainwater.
“Harry, how are you?” Julia heard Harry’s moan. She carefully placed her hand on Harry’s wound. “Did your wound open?”
Harry took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “No, I’m protecting it. It’s fine. What about you? Are you injured?” Julia helped Harry up. She still did not believe Harry’s words. She grabbed Harry’s hand and continued to rush home. Coincidentally, they met the servant who came out with umbrellas to look for them.
Julia shouted. Only then did the two of them return home with umbrellas.
Back at home, Julia looked at Harry who was like a drowned rat. When she looked down at herself, she was not any better. Both of their clothes were drenched. She held Harry’s hand and went straight to their room. Without saying a word, she began to help Harry take off his wet clothes.
“I’ll help you shower first. Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and take off your clothes. The servants will send the ginger water that has been prepared later. It can help you warm up.”
