âSybil arranged their group. Sheâs close with these people and intends for you to get familiar with them as well. If you find someone you like, converse with them more. If you donât, just ignore them.â âOkay.â
When Annalise heard Julian saying so, she no longer cared about the number of people. It was all good as long as everyone was having fun. Furthermore, Mina Simmons would also be coming later.
Thinking about this, she said to Julian, âThen, Iâll go look for Sybil.â âSure.â Julian smiled. After that, Annalise dragged Chloe to greet Sybil, before proceeding to watch the fish. âAnna!â Sybil shouted Annalise turned her head back, and Sybil took a photo of her. Helpless, Annalise smiled. âYouâre super beautiful!â Sybil exclaimed. Annalise smiled once more. âThank you!â âIâll send it to you when itâs out tonight,â Sybil said.
âOkay,â Annalise replied. âIâll take a picture for you!â Henry Dalton tried to take the camera off of Sybilâs neck. âNo, Iâll take it myself.â Sybil refused. She just wanted to experience the joy of taking photos, Henry immediately took out his phone and snapped a photo of Sybil. Sybil rolled her eyes at Henry.
âFuck!â Henry exclaimed. He was annoyed that he had failed to take a photo of Sybilâs ugly mug while rolling her eyes.
Sybil went back to taking photos. She called out Lianne Blake, âLianne.â Lianne turned around. Sybil immediately took a photo. However, when she saw the resulting picture on her camera, she was stunned. How could anyone be so beautiful? The icy beautyâs aura and presence were truly amazing. If her relationship with Henry hadnât been good recently, she would have even begun to doubt her sexual orientation. For some reason, she happened to like Lianne Blakeâs appearance far too much.
Sybil admired the photo in the camera for a while before turning her head, at which point. she noticed Nancy Zeller staring at Annalise. Nancy Zeller was precisely the woman who looked a little similar to Sybil Xander. She was the current darling of the Zeller family, and also the step-daughter of Jimmy Zeller, the younger brother of the Zeller familyâs head. She would be 25 years old this year. She was originally from the Xander family and was the daughter of Sybilâs older brother, Yechiel Xander.
Later, after Yechiel Xanderâs wife gave birth to two daughters, she divorced Yechiel and remarried Jimmy Zeller, bringing away her eldest daughter, Nancy Zeller, who eventually changed her name to Nancy Zeller. Everyone knew Nancyâs identity. As her parents were officially divorced and both were famous figures, her identity was not criticized. She was also doing well in the Zeller family, and the Zellers treated her very well. Whenever a major event occurs with the Xander family, she would head back to take part. However, she would also spend most of her Time living with the Zeller family, and to the public, she was treated as a daughter of the Zeller family. Seeing Nancy staring at Annalise, Sybil was surprised. âNancy, what are you looking at?â Nancy smiled and whispered to her, âAnnalise Barton is so beautiful!â When Sybil heard Nancy talking about Annalise, the corners of her lips curled up. âAnna is truly a girl with both talent and looks. Sheâs smart, quick-witted, skilled in medicine, and valiant. Most importantly, she even has a gentle side.â
She had always been envious of this particular point because she could never learn how to be gentle no matter what she did. All she knew was how to curse at others. âYeah, sheâs really outstanding,â
Nancy replied. When Sybil saw her niece acting like this, she coaxed, âYouâre also very outstanding.
Everyone has their own outstanding sides. As a person, the most important thing is to be happy. Look at me. I donât know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. Iâm not good at any of those.
However, when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, Tm perfect at those. Iâm the female version of a super wastrel. Others say that Iâm a spendthrift, but Iâm happy about it!â
âAunt, you have a good personality.â Nancy laughed. Sybil lifted an eyebrow and smiled. âYou see, Iâm so uncultured, and yet you still like me and praise me. No matter who it is, there will be people who like us, and people who hate us. We just have to spend our time playing happily with the people who like us.â She sighed. The fact that her niece was three years older than her, coupled with her seniority in the family, made her appear old to herself.
âAunt is right,â Nancy agreed. Sybil then stealthily whispered into Nancyâs ear, âHey, Alan Jones is over there. Donât say that I didnât create an opportunity for you.â Nancy had mentioned to her twice that she had a good impression of Alan Jones. âOkay, but Iâm not going right now. Iâll wait for the right opportunity,â Nancy answered. âAlright, do as you see fit. You guys have fun, Iâll go take photos.â Sybil left by herself to continue taking photos. Nancy secretly sneaked a glance at Annalise once more.
Then, she peeked at Julian Parks once again. She saw Julian with his gentle eyes secretly taking photos of Annalise with his phone. Jealousy flashed across her pupils. She knew that her aunt and Julian Parks were close friends, and that her aunt was the person who had the most opportunities of getting close to Julian. She wanted to use her aunt to get close to Julian, so she deliberately told her aunt that she had a good impression of Alan Jones. Lunchtime. Everyone ate together, and there were more than ten people at the table. Nancy wanted to sit next to Julian, but Henry Dalton beat her to it.
In the end, Julian had Henry Dalton on one side and Annalise Barton on the other. Since Nancy couldnât sit next to Henry without reason, she chose to sit opposite Julian instead. This way, she felt that she would be able to catch a better look at Julian. Most of the dishes in the farmhouse were wild game, including hares, wild fungi, clams, snails, and wild boars. Most of the greens were also wild vegetables. Julian picked some of each dish and them to Annalise. Whenever he saw her about to finish a dish, he would pick some more of that dish for her.
Annalise reached out a hand under the table and gave Julian a tug, whispering to him, You can eat. Iâll take the dishes myself.â Although it was fine at home, with so many pairs of eyes watching, she felt so uncomfortable being pampered by Julian! Julian smiled gently. âFeeding you is one of my joys.â Picking food for her was something he wanted to do. He didnât want to restrict himself just because they were in public. He found joy in placing food in her bowl, and it was also a good thing to show off his love for her to the world.
Alan Jonesâs beautiful fingers gripped his chopsticks. He ate elegantly and did not look in any way feminine. On seeing Julianâs blatant favoritism, his lips curled into a smile, and his eyes were filled with relief and blessings. It was great that she was living happily This farmhouse was actually also named a hot spring villa. Other than the koi pond, there were patches of hydrangea, stargazing platforms, and natural hot springs for them to enjoy. The natural het spring was only a few minutes away from the restaurant. It was also currently the perfect season to soak in a hot spring.
After their meal, everyone spent their lunch break deciding on what to do afterward, and the decision was to soak in the hot springs after the break. In the afternoon. Everyone went to the hot springs.
Annalise wanted to soak in the spring together with Chloe. However, she was rejected by Chloe, who said, âI donât want to attract his hatred. Go and flirt with your Julian.â âWe can go together!â Annalise said. âNo, Iâll find a small pool by myself,â Chloe insisted.
There were more than twenty natural springs, and many of the springs were especially small, suitable for two to three people to soak in. Chloe herself found an especially small soaking pool and soaked her body in it. Her body sank into the waters, and her expression showed that it was very comfortable.
Julian also brought Annalise to another small spring. In order to flirt with each other, he brought Annalise to a particularly remote spring. The surroundings were quiet, and it was just the two of them.
Julian led Annalise into the small spring, before slowly leaning toward herâ¦
