Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Lousy Piece Of Scrap Metal

Julian picked two purple gowns for Annalise and told her to try them on.

He sat on the couch and was flipping through a magazine when she came out after changing into one of the dresses. As soon as he saw her, his eyes widened, and he could not tear his gaze away from her.

He thought in awe, “I know how beautiful she is, and I knew she’d look stunning in an evening gown. However, I never imagined she’d look incredibly gorgeous.”

The corseted style of the purple gown accentuated Annalise’s slender figure, and she exuded a sexy yet innocent air in a harmonious contrast that created a stunning sight beyond compare.

“Does it not look good? I’ll put on the other one, then,” said Annalise.

“It’s gorgeous! You don’t have to try on the other gown. This one is perfect!” Julian replied.

Inwardly, he mused, “I don’t think there’s any other dress that would suit her more perfectly than the one she’s wearing. It’s just like how I feel there’s no one more suited to be my wife than her.”

“All right. That’s decided, then.”

She was about to go and change out of the gown when Julian said, “There’s no need to get changed. We’re going straight to get your hair and makeup done.”

“It’s already past four o’clock now. The stylist usually does the makeup first, so that’ll be the perfect. opportunity to get someone to give her a shoulder massage. She can take a short nap during the Judging from the faint dark circles under her eyes, I think she must’ve stayed up late last night,” he thought..

massage.

Before starting the hair and makeup, Julian instructed the stylist to give Annalise a neck and shoulder massage. Since she had good skin, the stylist would not have to do much to prep her skin.

Although Annalise did not say anything, she was moved by how thoughtful Julian was.

“Benjamin was gentle and caring in every way, but he wouldn’t have thought about these little details,” she pondered.

The stylist started giving her a shoulder massage as she lay on the bed, and in just a few minutes, she had dozed off.

By the time she woke up, the stylist had done her makeup. All that was left was to style her hair. Julian was waiting for her, and he gave her a tender smile when he saw that she had awakened. “After you get your hair done, we’ll go and grab a bite first.”

“What time is it?” Annalise asked.

“Six o’clock.”

“I’ve been asleep for that long?” she exclaimed in disbelief.

Usually, she would find it difficult to fall asleep in unfamiliar places.

“It wasn’t that long. Only an hour, Julian said, unable to hide the doting tone in his voice.

His doting tone felt like the gentle caress of a feather, causing Annalise’s heart to flutter.

However, she quickly forced herself to calm down and steady her heartbeat.

She glanced at the hand he held toward her, then placed her hand in his, thinking. “Familiarity is truly something scary. I can’t believe I’ve gotten used to holding his hand and that it actually gives me a sense of security. The feeling of his large hand enveloping mine is so warm and comforting.”

She felt an inexplicable sense of happiness blossoming within her as if her body was experiencing a surge of dopamine. She could not help casting aside the jumble of distracting thoughts in her mind, and her lips.
