Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Kent Barton So Incensed That He Vomited Blood

Annalise Barton ignored Kent Barton and left with Julian Parks. Julian asked Annalise with concern, “Did he yell at you?” “No.” Annalise looked at Julian Parks’s concerned expression, and her pounding heart felt warm. “Did he say something nasty?” Julian asked again.

“Again, no.” Annalise looked at Julian and shook her head with a smile. She couldn’t be bothered at all by what people she didn’t care for said. A concerned look from the person she cared about was enough to satisfy her. Seeing that Julian’s expression had softened, Annalise could not help but ask with concern, “Have you finished eating?”

“I’ve finished my meal. Did you not eat well? I’ll take you somewhere else to eat,” Julian said as he led Annalise to the parking lot. “I ate very well, and now, I am full.” Annalise smiled and patted her tummy. She would never let herself suffer, so she didn’t hold back at all when eating with Kent.

Seeing Annalise patting her tummy, Julian stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a doting smile. “It’s good that you’re full.” He couldn’t resist extending his hand and patting her tummy. Under the sunlight, they looked at each other and smiled. Julian doted on her, and Annalise was charming.

He reached out again and stroked her head. In Annalise’s world, Julian always had a gentle smile on his lips. The two of them prepared to walk to the office of the Moonlight Group. They chatted while their food was being digested.

Looking from afar, Julian appeared handsome and elegant. He was dressed in a business suit and had a noble air. His smile was warm, like a gust of spring breeze. Annalise was young and beautiful, witty and astute, and she had a dazzling smile.

Julian walked forward while Annalise walked backward. They talked and laughed. He tugged at her from time to time, afraid she would trip over the tree behind her. It was two in the afternoon.

Julian and Annalise arrived at the building of the Moonlight Group on time. The President’s office was closed. The secretary informed Annalise that Kent was not in. Annalise knew that she had been tricked. Her face darkened slightly, and she immediately called Kent’s number.

Initially, she thought that Kent would not answer her call. To her surprise, Kent answered after two rings. He sounded very weak. “Anna, I was about to call you. I’m sorry. My body is weak, and I’m in the hospital now. We can’t hold the shareholders’ meeting this afternoon anymore.” Annalise asked calmly, “What happened to you, Uncle Kent?” To avoid signing the agreement, Kent actually pretended to be sick. He was really shameless.

“Sigh! High blood pressure. My blood pressure just soared to 180. Fortunately, I came to the hospital in time. The doctor said that if my blood pressure soars too high, there is a risk that my blood vessels will burst. I may have to stay in the hospital for a few days,” said Kent.

Kent guessed that Julian would not stay in Horington for long. After all, Julian was the person in charge of Parks Group and was a busy man. How could he have the time to waste on Annalise? When Julian was gone, Annalise would be at his mercy.

At that point, Kent would suppress his temper and conscientiously persuade her. He would lecture her on the gains and losses and spend more time and effort brainwashing her. Then, he would give her some gifts to express his care and love.
