Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134 He Thought He Controlled Annalise Barton

Suppressed by Julian Parks’ forceful approach, Kent Barton caved in and said, “Then let’s do it at two in the afternoon. I’ll inform them to rush over.” He wanted to delay it until tomorrow, but he was afraid that Julian would make him sign the agreement now. He could only give in. “Alright! We’ll be here at two in the afternoon!” Julian stood up, and his whole demeanor looked like he was discussing business. A glint flashed across Kent’s eyes, and he immediately tried to hold him back. “Julian, Anna, it’s almost noon. Let’s have lunch together.”

He then looked at Annalise and tried to play the family card. “Anna, you went to Jadeborough for a month. I have not lunched with my niece for a month now.” He looked at Annalise with sincerity and affection as if he really loved his niece. He had to ask her to stay for lunch. He had to use the intervals during the meal to chat with her quietly and brainwash her thoroughly.

“No need!” Annalise flatly refused. The truth was Uncle Kent had many opportunities to care about her. When he took her to the Barton family’s residence, he could have cared about her. Of course, Annalise knew they were being hypocritical.

This was because if he really loved her, he wouldn’t have thrown her to the countryside when she was six years old. Not only did she have to rely on other people’s charity, but that relative in the countryside also beat her up, scolded her, and abused her. If her mentor hadn’t taken her in, her age might have remained at six forever.

However, at that time, Annalise still had a trace of hope in her heart. She wondered if Uncle Kent was unaware that the relatives in the countryside had beaten and scolded her. Could Uncle Kent actually be concerned about her? So she went to live with the Barton family. At first, she was really looking forward to it.

Just like the child who was sold, Annalise yearned for kinship. She knew that she was being sold off, but she still called the woman who sold her ‘Mom.’ She knew that the birthday party was not prepared for her, but she still attended with gifts and stood beside that woman to take photos. Everything that happened after that made her see things more clearly. She no longer had any hope after that. Since Uncle Kent did not treat her as family, why should she treat him as her uncle?

“Anna, let’s have a meal together. Uncle has something important to discuss with you.” Seeing that Annalise did not budge, Kent added another dose of strong medicine and said, “You’ve grown up now. I think you have the right to know about your father.” “You can reserve a place,” Annalise said. Yes, she wanted to know about her father.

She wanted to know if he was dead or alive. She wanted to know what had happened between him and her mother. She wanted to know if he had his reasons for abandoning them.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it. I’ll send a message to you after I’ve arranged it. Seeing that Annalise was indeed curious to know more about her biological father, Kent heaved a small sigh of relief. As long as he had the chance to eat alone with Annalise, he could give her a complete brainwash. After all, she grew up in the countryside. How much brains could she have?

Kent now felt that the wisest decision back then was to throw. Annalise into the countryside to grow up so that she would be uncultured and ignorant. If she had grown up in the city, this woman might have clamored for the shares much earlier.
