Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Unlucky Benjamin

“I’m afraid you’ll wait. Let’s go to the airport first,” Annalise said.

Julian nodded. “Okay.”

He reached out and rubbed Annalise’s head. “Sorry, I promised to accompany you and Uncle Kent to discuss shares.”

“It’s fine. It’s more important to see how your grandpa is doing. Let’s go.”

Annalise sat in the passenger seat. Julian leaned over and fastened Annalise’s seat belt. Then, he handed her a carrier bag. “Here.”

“Huh?” Annalise took the bag and smelled the fragrance.

“I bought breakfast for you on the way. You can have some first. If we have time at the airport later, we can eat more,” Julian said.

“Thank you!” Annalise opened the bag and saw the hot breakfast inside. Her heart warmed.

In the past year, although Uncle Kent had brought her over, they had never cared if she ate or not.

Anyway, she would eat it if she made it. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t eat.

Julian’s grandfather was now in a bad condition. Julian was in a hurry and did not forget to bring her breakfast.

That detail alone warmed her heart.

“Are you only buying one serving?” Annalise asked when he saw that there was only one serving of breakfast. “Yes, I’m driving. It’s not convenient for me to eat. It doesn’t matter. I’ll eat on the plane later,” Julian said. “Okay,” Annalise replied.

There was only one cup of soy milk, so it wasn’t convenient to share it. She left it untouched. Then, she broke the sandwich in half and ate half of it.

She broke the cupcake in half again and ate half of it.

After that, she called Julian to stop the car. “Julian, we’re not on the highway yet. Stop the car.”

“What’s wrong?” Julian asked.

“Pull over,” Annalise said.

“Okay.” Julian stopped the car.

Annalise got out of the car.

Once Annalise got out of the car, Julian immediately followed.

Annalise walked around to the driver’s seat and said with a smile, “I’ll drive and see what it feels like driving a fancy car.”

Julian smiled dotingly. “Okay.”

He decisively got into the passenger seat.

Annalise placed the bag on the seat and Julian immediately picked it up.

As soon as he picked it up, he saw that it was a little messy. Half of the sandwich was left, and half of the cupcake was left. The soy milk was still steaming.

Annalise held the steering wheel and turned to look at Julian. “Fasten your seat belt.”

“Okay.” Julian fastened his seat belt.

Annalise added, “The sandwich and cake are for you. You should eat some too. Don’t worry, I didn’t do it by mouth. I tore them with my hands.”

Julian’s hand was holding the bag and it trembled slightly. “Okay!”

He couldn’t reject her kindness.

He thought about buying her breakfast, and she thought about saving half for him. That was really good.

Putting aside all the money and interests, returning to how people should behave.

Annalise said, “take the soy milk. I don’t like that stuff.”
