Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 His Feelings For Her

Annalise came out of the shower and saw Julian standing in front of the window in blue pajamas.

Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing, Julian turned around. Two buttons on his collar were undone, revealing his bronze-colored pecs.

When Annalise saw this scene, she immediately looked away.

“It’s time to take a nap.” Julian looked at Annalise gently.

“Yes, sure. You should have extra blankets at home, right? Just give me a blanket and I’ll sleep on the floor,” Annalise said.

Actually, she really regretted it. She wanted to discuss with him that she would sleep on the bed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and he would sleep on the bed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. However, she had already said that she would sleep on the floor. Now, she could not go back on her word. “We have such a huge bed. Do you need to sleep on the floor?” Julian looked at Annalise in surprise and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Or… do you have a thing for sleeping on the floor?”

“Umm, yeah I have a thing for sleeping on the floor, especially in the summer. The floor is cold and very comfortable.” Annalise could only follow Julian’s words,

She let out a sigh, thinking that who in the right mind would have such a fetish. She just felt that men and women should not sleep together just like that.

Especially since he looked so flirtatious.

“Especially in the summer? Did you sleep on the floor in the winter too?” Julian was even more surprised and looked very curious.

Annalise felt extremely helpless. She could only continue to spout nonsense. “Yes, I occasionally sleep on the floor in winter. My lower back is not good. The floor is hard. It helps make my lower back feel better.”

“Your lower back isn’t good?” Julian looked concerned.

If her eyes hadn’t darted around, he would have believed her.

“Y-yes, it’s not doing so good,” Annalise said.

“Let me take a look,” Julian said as he walked over.

“That wouldn’t be necessary…” Annalise immediately retreated. She wasn’t about to just let him look at her lower back just like that.

“I’ll give you a massage,” Julian said seriously while holding back his laughter.

“No, no, there’s no need. I’m a doctor myself. I’m recuperating.” Annalise hurriedly said.

‘Doctors don’t get to treat themselves. Let me give you a massage,” Julian said as he moved forward.

He thought that she was really too cute like this! Her eyes were darting around.

Annalise immediately retreated and her legs hit the bed. She staggered and fell onto the bed.

Julian looked down at her with burning eyes.

Annalise could hear her heart racing wildly, and her cheeks and ears began to burn.

Just as she was thinking about how to break this ambiguous and awkward situation, Julian gently touched her face with his thumb. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t touch you without your permission. During this period of time, you sleep on the left, and I will sleep on the right.”

“Ah… Okay.” Annalise saw that she had already occupied someone else’s bed and Julian had promised not to touch her. If she insisted on sleeping on the floor now, it would be a little difficult for him to get along with her. She immediately rolled to the left.

She really rolled to the side, far away from the right.

Julian smiled and lay down. He pulled the thin blanket over her and went to sleep.

Annalise felt the blanket covering her body. Her entire body tensed up and she did not move. Her expression was especially vigilant, afraid that Julian would do something to her.

However, after a while, she heard calm, even breathing beside her.

Only then did Annalise dare to move her body. She gently turned around and saw Julian sleeping quietly. She looked at him for half a minute, then turned onto her side again and closed her eyes to sleep.

Perhaps she was too sleepy. In just a few minutes, she fell asleep.

When she woke up again, Julian also woke up. He got up and asked her gently, “Did you sleep well?”

“Yes, yes. I slept well,” Annalise said.

She was amazed at herself. She thought herself to be highly vigilant, but she could actually fall asleep beside a stranger who was a man.
