Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 I Only Like You

“Old friend, happy birthday! I wish you luck and longevity!” Madam Blake congratulated Samuel politely.

The kids also immediately wished Samuel.

After Lianne’s father wished Samuel, Lianne smiled gracefully and said, “Old Mr. Parks, I wish you good health and long life. Happy birthday!”

Lianne’s voice was clear and melodious, like a nightingale. It was pleasant to hear.

“Thank you. Thank you!” Samuel smiled. “Sit, everyone. Have a seat!”

A servant immediately came over and politely led them to their seats.

Lianne’s stepbrother, Adam, walked side by side with Lianne.

Adam smiled and said something. Then, Lianne’s expression became even colder.

Annalise saw Lianne again and was stunned by her beauty once again.

Julian introduced the people around them to Annalise. That old lady is Madam Blake. Most of the Blake Corporation’s shares are in Madam Blake’s hands now, so she’s the most prestigious person in the Blake. family. Behind her are her son, Blake Yeqin, and her daughter-in-law. The girl behind them is Lianne, whom we met in the hospital last time. The man beside her is her stepbrother. His name is Adam, and he’s now the general manager of the Blake Corporation’s business department. Behind her is her stepsister, Mia… What are you looking at?”

Julian did not expect girls would like to see girls.

“She’s so beautiful!” Annalise exclaimed.

“Mm,” Julian answered helplessly.

He had brought her here to introduce today’s guests to her so that she could have a rough impression of the upper-class people of Jadeborough.

In the end, she was there to look at pretty ladies.

He consoled himself that it was a good thing she wasn’t looking at the man.

Annalise tried to keep that question to herself. However, she could not help but ask curiously, “She’s so beautiful. Have you never had any thoughts about her?”

Julian couldn’t help but smile as she thought, “Is she jealous?”

Annalise thought, “Why does he look so happy?”

He reached out to hold her hand and interlocked his fingers with hers, waiting for an opportunity to confess again. “I only like you!”

Annalise’s heart hammered in her.

Julian looked at her and said with a smile, “In the future, if you look in the mirror more every day, you will realize that you are prettier than everyone else.”

Annalise gave Julian a strange look. She did not expect him to say such a thing.

What she did not expect most was that she would like to hear him say such things.

Julian glanced at Annalise’s foot and asked gently, “Does your foot hurt?”

She used to wear flat shoes, but today she was wearing high heels.

He bought her a pair of three-centimeter high heels, and she insisted on choosing a pair of seven-centimeter high heels.

“It doesn’t hurt,” Annalise felt warm when Julian was concerned about her.

“Come, let’s go sit over there first. We’ll come back later when we deliver the gifts,” Julian took Annalise to the seats.

Along the way, they passed a few tables and heard the gossip from the guests.

“Did you see that? The woman that Mr. Parks is holding is Annalise Barton from the countryside. At first glance, she looks passable, but on closer look, she’s outdated. No matter how expensive the gown is, she

can’t wear the temperament a rich lady should have.”

“The upbringings bring up temperament. She can’t even compare to a toe of Miss Blake’s.”

Julian was displeased. Just as he was about to speak, Annalise immediately pulled him back. “Didn’t you bring me here to take a seat?”

Julian glanced around coldly. The women gossiping immediately fell silent when they saw Julian’s cold expression. When Julian walked a little further away, they started whispering recklessly again.

Annalise turned around to look at the women who were gossiping. She could not hear what they were saying but could see their mouths opening and closing.

She smiled faintly and said to Julian, “Whether right or wrong, it doesn’t matter if I don’t listen. As long as I don’t care, no one can hurt me. If I care, I’ll quietly work hard and stun everyone!”

Julian’s heart skipped a beat.
