Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Deadly Gentleness

In an effort to increase everyone’s enthusiasm, every time an auction item was successfully bid on at that evening’s charity gala, the staff would bring it to the bidder to pay by card while simultaneously handing the item to the bidder.

Because it was a charity gala, everyone who came did not pay any deposit. The organizer was also worried that some people might place impulsive bids and, in the end, could not afford to pay for them.

Hence, every auction item would be sold one by one. After the deal was done, the result for the previous item would be displayed on the big screen before the auction for the next item started.

In that way, everyone could see at a glance who spent how much money on what auction item.

Humans had always been competitive. No one wanted to be overshadowed by others, even when doing. charity work.

It was precisely because of their humanity that the organizer designed such procedures.

Soon, two staff in gowns walked over to Julian, one holding a card machine and the other holding the bottle of perfume.

Both of them were very polite.

Julian swiped the card and took the perfume.

Everyone kept looking at that side. They just wanted to see if it was Julian who swiped the card or Annalise.

Seeing Julian’s smooth and fluid motion, they felt that he was even more handsome and thought, “He must be the heir of a wealthy family!”

“Here!” Julian handed the perfume to Annalise

“No, this is what you bought,” Annalise refused immediately.

Earlier, she only bid twice and stopped after that. When she saw that Julian continued to bid, she did not stop him because she was afraid that she had misunderstood. What if he wanted to buy it for himself?

“I bought it for you, so you can give it to the important person in your life,” the man said.

In an instant, Annalise’s heart pounded violently. “Did he hear what I whispered to Ms. Tuffin just now?” she wondered.

“No need. We’ll buy something else later,” she replied.

After humiliating Benjamin in Moon Hall the other day, she felt completely pleased and delighted. Now, she was calm whenever she saw Benjamin. She was no longer sad, and she was not angry, nor did she want to embarrass him with money.

Therefore, seeing that Benjamin was bidding, she did not compete with him.

On the one hand, she was not interested in bidding with him, and on the other hand, she did not want to make a fool out of herself in front of others. It was not as if she still loved Benjamin and was unwilling to let him go.

While she was deep in thought, Julian took her hand and put the perfume in her palm.

The moment he held her hand, she felt her heart skip a beat. At the same time, she felt as if someone was tickling her heart with a feather. It was itchy and comfortable. Her cheeks and ears instantly blushed.

She immediately returned the perfume. “I don’t need it.”

However, Julian clenched her hand and put the perfume in her palm. Then, he reached out his hand and drew a heart shape on her wrist.

Originally, she thought he was going to write something on her wrist. After all, Madeline was there, so there might be something he could not say out loud.

In the end, he only drew a heart shape on her wrist, causing her heart to suddenly beat faster.

“Good girl. Accept it,” Julian whispered.
