Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 A Tinge Of Sweetness

Julian’s lips met Annalise’s lips. Just as he extended his arm, wanting to hold Annalise’s neck, her phone rang. “Little fairy, you have a phone call. Little fairy, you have a phone call…”

Julian’s gentle smile widened as he heard Annalise’s ringtone.

The more he looked at Annalise, the more he found her cute. “Ahem…” Annalise felt awkward as she heard her ringtone.

She instantly picked up the phone and answered the call.

Her expression turned grim when she heard Benjamin’s voice from the other end of the call. “What’s the matter?”

“Anna, where are you? I’ll go over and find you. It’s been a whole day and night since I last met you. Have you calmed down?” Benjamin asked.

Annalise smiled. “Calm down? So, all this while, you thought I was mad at you? Listen carefully, Benjamin. I’m now a married woman, so I’d like to ask you kindly to stop calling me. Besides, I don’t think there is much between us to talk about.”

“Anna, don’t say such things in a fit of anger. I know that what I did hurt you deeply. Hence, I apologize for what I did. Why don’t you let me make up for it? Head over to Tayhaven in a moment, and there’s a surprise waiting for you from me. I guarantee that you would love it, I…”

“You idiot!” Annalise cut Benjamin’s words off and hung up the phone call.

After ending the call, she was still furious, and her expression was very dark, appearing very scary.

Her fury was stronger than her feeling of sadness and disappointment.

She was angry toward Benjamin and herself. Benjamin’s shameless attitude pissed her off.

On the other hand, she was infuriated at herself for failing to recognize how horrible Benjamin’s personality

was. Despite dating him for one year, she did not realize that Benjamin was a scumbag.

“Little fairy, you have a phone call… Little fairy, you have a phone call…” Annalise’s phone rang once more. Annalise fell speechless. She felt so awkward that she was embarrassed to look at Julian.

“He must be laughing at me for being so childish,” Annalise thought..

She answered the call, and it was Benjamin again. “Anna, I’m sorry. I promise that I will never make the same mistake…”

Annalise ended the call.

As soon as she ended the call, the phone rang again. Before Benjamin could say anything, Annalise retorted fiercely, “Are you done with your blabbering? Listen carefully, Benjamin. I, Annalise, have broken up with you. In my dictionary, breaking up with someone means that I am no longer related to them in the slightest. I will never interact with the person for the rest of my life. Even if we meet by coincidence on the streets, we won’t acknowledge each other’s presence.”

Annalise was irritated, so she walked forward while shouting into the phone.

“Anna, you’re still so reckless. Why don’t you take a few more days to cool down? I’ll contact you by then. Anna, if you calm down and think it through, you’ll understand that once you lose me, you will never find a man better than me…” In Benjamin’s opinion, Annalise needed a few days to cool down. Then, she would realize that she couldn’t bear to leave him.

“I am very calm right now! Benjamin, do you know what an egomaniac is? You are one! Goodbye, loser!” Annalise hung up the call in rage.

Only then did Annalise recognize that she was holding Julian’s hand. She didn’t know when Julian began. holding her empty hand, lacing his fingers with hers. On top of that, he was also helping her carry her bag.

“Um… When did I give him my bag? When did we start holding hands? Was he the one who held my hand first, or was it the other way around? How far have we walked while holding hands?” Annalise questioned in her heart.

“Ah, I-I’m sorry!” Annalise felt awkward as she tried to withdraw her hand.

To her dismay, Julian held on tightly.

The smile on his face had disappeared, and his expression was slightly dark.

Annalise was confused about what was happening.

“Was I the one who grabbed his hand first? Is that why he’s upset?” Annalise thought. She loosened her grip. but Julian still held on to it tightly.

Annalise smiled while trying to pull her hand once again. “Excuse me, Sir Parks. Could you let go of my hand?”

“Was that the jerk from yesterday?” Julian asked with a jealous look.
