Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Old Mr. Parks’ Birthday Party

Annalise opened her eyes and saw Julian’s gentle and doting smile.

He even reached out and softly stroked her head.

When she saw his gaze and gentle actions, her heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly thought that if she exposed him now, he would be embarrassed.

She didn’t want him to feel awkward, so she simply closed her eyes.

Miraculously, she fell asleep very quickly.

When she woke up the next morning, Annalise’s expression was not as awkward as before. She even took the initiative to greet Julian. “Good morning!”

Then, she swiftly jumped off the bed and went to wash up.

Julian looked at Annalise’s back and smiled. “So she doesn’t mind it now?”

Suddenly, the smile on his lips disappeared. Why did he feel like she had figured out everything?

That was impossible!

If she really knew, surely she would have retracted her leg immediately.

With this thought in mind, Julian felt much more at ease.

During breakfast, he looked at her from time to time.

Annalise was inexplicably happy to see Julian’s slightly unnatural expression.

She took the egg he peeled for her and pretended not to know anything.

Tonight was Old Mr. Parks’ birthday party.

The birthday party was held at the Parks residence.

Gilderoy was a very capable butler. In a week, he had arranged everything according to Julian’s request.

After Samuel identified a list of guests, Julian arranged for his assistant to print the invitations, after which Gilderoy instructed a driver to personally send them to the big families.

Almost all the reputable families in Jadeborough were invited to bring their families along.

The venue was set at the grassland, which was 320,000 square feet, of Parks residence. Summer was transitioning to autumn, so the weather was not as hot as before.

Gilderoy had arranged for people to set up hundreds of tables in the grassland.

A stage had also been set up. As the venue was big enough, the stage was also very big.

The circular stage was placed in the middle of the grassland.

A hundred tables were set up around the circular stage.

This way, everyone could eat at the party while watching the stage performance.

Originally, Julian wanted to invite someone to sing opera for Samuel’s 80th birthday.

Samuel thought that just having the opera was boring. Since it was a party, he wanted to prepare a few more performances.

Julian understood what Samuel wanted.

Samuel was afraid that if there were only opera performances, some of the Parks family members would jeer and say that there was no variety. They would then ask for more performances to liven things up, and they would use this as an excuse to put Annalise on the spot.

At that time, Annalise would be in a very passive position.

However, if they had already arranged for various performances in advance, no one would be able to make any complaints.

As long as the program lasted two hours, even if the person was a young mistress of the Parks family, they would not be able to add another performance to the program.

Another important agenda was the opening of birthday gifts.

Gilderoy would arrange for some staff to note down what non-family members had given Samuel. Meanwhile, the birthday gifts from family members would be opened on the day itself.

Therefore, it couldn’t be helped that some people would want to see Annalise embarrass herself in public. However, the elixir pills prepared by Annalise would probably be enough to stun everyone.
