Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 You Are More Important Than Him

Annalise did not expect a young man in Jadeborough, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, to have a scarred childhood.

All of a sudden, she felt sorry for him.

Annalise lost her mother when she was three, while Julian lost his mother when he was seven.

Her father was unknown, and his father did not care about him.

Although her life seemed more tragic, his life was rather pitiful too.

Hence, she tried to hold his hand and comforted him silently.

Feeling the heat on the back of his hand, Julian smiled and held Annalise’s hand back.

He put her hand on the steering wheel and said, “Drive carefully.”

Annalise’s ears turned red. She quickly concentrated on the road after that.

Suddenly, Julian called out, “Annalise!”

“Hmm?” Annalise responded.

He sounded strange, and she thought he looked too serious.

“Although we don’t know each other well, we are still husband and wife,” Julian said.

Annalise felt that the man sounded too serious. She immediately corrected him, “We’re fake husband and wife, and it’s going to last for only three months.”

“Yes, three months. So, within these three months, we have to abide by the agreement. Unless we agree to break up with each other, no one can separate us,” Julian said.

Annalise was a clever woman. She quickly turned to look at Julian and asked, “You think your father will come to look for me?”

“Maybe,” Julian answered.

Annalise glanced at Julian again, but as soon as she saw his grim expression, she joked, “Would you be angry with me if I scolded your father as you did?” She wanted him to loosen up.

“No!”

“Really?”

“Yeah, because you’re more important than him in my heart.”

From the moment they received their marriage certificate, Julian knew that Annalise was the one he would protect for the rest of his life.

Annalise’s heart skipped a beat.

“Why am I so touched hearing his words? Is it because I’m hungry for love since I grew up without parents?” she wondered.

She had fallen in love with Benjamin because he had said that she was important to him too.

Annalise had always thought that she was a sensible person, yet she still could not help but fall in love with Benjamin because of his serious confession and affection.

Julian, however, was different from Benjamin.

While Benjamin was romantic and was good at giving surprises, Julian was someone who would choose her instead of a priceless bracelet.

I really should stop comparing them with each other,” she thought.

After sending Julian back to the hotel, Annalise told him to have a good rest.

In return, Julian reminded Annalise to drive carefully on her way back. He also told her to wait for him at the Barton residence tomorrow and that he would go over and accompany her to talk about the shares with Kent.

Annalise waved him goodbye, then drove back to the Barton residence.
