Chapter 101 Taking Preston’s Pulse
“Did they reconcile again?”
“So, what’s the truth?”
“Are they really more than business partners?”
Could it be that Julian and Lianne were actually a couple but broke up for some reason? Julian went to Horington in a bad mood and happened to meet her and married her?
Initially, Annalise thought that Julian had married her to take revenge on Abigail. Now, she felt that he had married her to provoke Lianne to reconcile with him.
“No, I shouldn’t let my imagination run wild.”
It was not like her to let her imagination run wild.
She should ask him in person.
If he really loved Lianne and they were just quarrelling, she would grant them their wish.
She would treat it as a dream and return to her own world. She would repeat her previous life and live a simple life. She would go back to eating three simple meals a day with her teachers.
If that was not the case, she would never easily trust others for their words.
With that thought, she immediately went to take a shower.
Julian returned to his room and waited for a while. Annalise came out after taking a shower.
He looked at her with burning eyes and reached out to her. “Come!”
She was no longer as eager as before.
She smiled slightly and asked, “Did you arrange the time for Ms Barton’s brother’s checkup?”
While she was showering, she thought about it. She had promised him that she would check Ms Blake’s brother’s condition. It was better to do that first before asking.
Otherwise, if Julian told her that he still loved Lianne, she would not be able to treat her brother’s illness anymore. She was not that heroic.
“Yes. She called me after she went to the hospital to settle her grandmother’s matters. I have made an appointment with her for tomorrow morning. We’ll go over after breakfast,” Julian said.
“Alright, then go to sleep. You have to rest well.” Annalise quickly slept to the left and curled up into a ball.
“What’s wrong?” Julian felt that something was wrong with Annalise.
“Nothing!” Annalise’s tone was joyful.
Julian looked at Annalise curling up into a ball. He smiled and thought, “She’s afraid that I would do something to her, isn’t she?”
His smiled helpelessly.
Although he wanted to, he would definitely respect her for such things! Look at how scared she was.
He reached out to touch her head and said gently, “Go to sleep then, wifey. Good night!”
Then, he gently hugged her from behind.
Annalise did not move. She still felt a little uncomfortable.
There were a few times when she wanted to muster up the courage to turn around and ask him if he liked her or Lianne. Was he and Bai Luoyan a couple or just business partners? What did he and Lianne talk about at the stairs? Why did they look at each other like that?
In the end, she exhaled gently and took a deep breath. She still wanted to finish what she started and see to Preston’s condition.
The next day.
The two of them rushed to the villa Lianne told them to go to.
This was where Preston lived alone in.
In addition to the two servants who took care of Preston’s meals and daily life, Lianne also hired four twenty-something to accompany Preston.
They were two men and two women. Lianne hired as many as four people because she wanted to have more people to supervise each other and so no one would bully Preston.
When they arrived, Lianne’s older brother was squatting in the sandpit in front of the villa, playing with the
sand.
