Annalise was shy and wanted to get further away from Julian. âCanât we just simply take a bath in the soaking pool?â Annalise thought. But Julian grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. âMmmâ¦
Julian hugged Annalise and leaned down to kiss her lips. Annalise panicked and quickly pushed against Julian. Her face was flushed, and her voice was extremely low. âThis⦠is a public place.â This was a soaking pool. There would be people coming in at any time. What would people think if they saw them kissing here?
She was wearing skimpy since she was in the hot spring, so it would look extremely dubious. Julianâs voice was low and hoarse, and his gaze was scorching. He was still holding Annaliseâs waist as he said, âI didnât sleep well last night⦠Iâve been missing you.â Annaliseâs face turned red and her heart raced. Julian looked at her with eyes so deep that she got lost in them. He added, âI can no longer go through a night without you. Not even for a night.â
Annaliseâs heart sped up even more. This man, his lips⦠She simply could not resist him. Julian gently lifted Annaliseâs chin and Mowered his head to kiss her lips. Annalise was still afraid of being seen.
There were more than ten people there today, and they were all acquaintances. It would be so awkward if they saw them! Since Sybil and Henry loved to kick up a fuss, so if they were to see this, wouldnât they make fun of her?
âNo one will come.â Seeing through Annaliseâs concerns, Julian smiled gently. He kissed her again.
When she heard that no one would come, she relaxed a lot more. She gently kissed him back, and he became irrepressible. When she was almost out of breath, he finally I released her.
There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were gentle. However, his tone was resentful. âIf it werenât for the tradition that is so ingrained in my bones, causing me to not be able to accept doing it in public places, I would haveâ¦â âStop talking!â Annalise immediately covered Julianâs mouth. He really dared to say anything. Julian immediately kissed Annaliseâs palm.
Annalise was so startled that she quickly retracted her hand, but Julian grabbed it. His face was full of smiles and he couldnât hold it back at all. Seeing how anxious she was, he smiled and said, âI wonât tease you anymore. Letâs enjoy the hot spring. Iâll massage you.â âNo, no, I donât need it.â Annalise was very anxious. She could not imagine him massaging her while wearing a swimsuit in this little soaking pool. Just imagining it made her blush. âOkay.â Julian lowered his body and gestured to Annalise. âThis pool is just right. Close your eyes, enjoy the heat and the soaking pool. Try it.â
Annalise submerged herself in the pool, leaned against the sides, and slowly closed her eyes. As expected, it was very relaxing. âWhat were you laughing about in the car earlier? Tell me about it,â
Julian said. Annalise sighed and told Julian about Ryan and Chloe. As Julian heard about how much trouble Chloe went through all these years taking care of their child by herself, he reached out, held Annaliseâs hand in the water, and said, âI will be good to you for the rest of my life. I will love you, protect you, and dote on you like a treasure.â
Annalise adjusted her position and rested her head on Julianâs shoulder. Julian hugged Annalise and said, âEvery single day after we registered our marriage, I feel especially at peace. It was as if we had known each other for a long time.â Annalise Barton smiled. âWhy are you so sweet?â âI mean it.â âI love you more and more every day too.â Annalise was a reserved person. She was embarrassed to confess her love, but she also wanted to tell Julian that she loved him!
The passion Julian had felt, the feeling that was about to completely dissipate surged high once more after hearing Annalise say that she loved him more and more every day. He turned his head and pressed his lips against hers. The two of them closed their eyes in tacit understanding⦠Suddenly they heard a cough. âExcuse me⦠Iâm sorry!â A discordant female voice rang. Julian immediately opened his eyes.
The coldness in his eyes could almost freeze others to their deaths. Nancyâs face was filled with embarrassment. âIâm sorry, I-I⦠I was just passing by. Itâs a lot more crowded here today, and most of the other pools are already occupied. S-so, I wanted to find a more remote one. I didnât expect you two to be here.â She was looking for Julian in her bikini because she wanted him to see her figure.
After all, they had never had the chance to soak in the soaking pool together before. If not for Sybil, she might not have had the chance now. Therefore, she definitely could not miss it. She was 5 feet 7 inches tall and she had a 36D. Her waist was slender and her bottoms were perky. Her legs were fair and lanky. She dared to say that no man in this world could resist her after looking at her figure. Julián looked over coldly. âMiss Zeller, if you want to find a hot spring, just do it. Do you need me to help you find one?â
âN-No, thatâs not what I meant. Iâll go and look for one now,â Nancy replied awkwardly. Just as she was about to continue looking for another pool, as she passed the pool Julian was in, she suddenly slipped and fell into the pool. She was screaming in her heart, âHurry! Catch me!â She had such a good figure.
He would most definitely catch her. As long as he caught her, he would definitely be addicted to her.
Who wouldnât want a pretty woman in their arms? Plop! Water splashed everywhere.
When Nancy fell into the pool, Julian immediately shielded Annalise in his arms, avoiding Nancy.
Nancy slammed into the pool. Fortunately, there was water in the pool, so she was not injured, but her arm hit the walls at the side of the pool. âAre you alright?â Julian asked Annalise with concern. Thinking that Julian was asking her, Nancy was instantly delighted. She immediately ignored how scruffed she looked at that moment and immediately said, âIâm fine.â Nancy quickly got up. Then, she saw Julian get out of the soaking pool with Annalise in his arms and left right away.
âYouâre not startled, right?â Julian asked Annalise gently. Nancy was speechless. She flushed with embarrassment. Julian was not talking to her. He actually did not look at her at all the entire time. Was he blind? Which part of her was not better than Annalise? Yes, Annalise was Joseph Quigleyâs disciple and knew some medical skills. What about it? How could a doctor compare to the daughter of a wealthy family?
Her stepfather was the second-in-command of the Zeller family. Her biological father was the leader of the Xander family, while her grandmotherâs family was the famous Sox family. It could be said that she was the noblest woman in Jadeborough. She was just usually too low-key, so everyone felt that Sybil Xander and Lianne Blake were the noblest and most elegant. She glared at Annaliseâs back and wished she could rush over and remove Julianâs hand from her waist.
âPhewâ¦â After a while, Nancy exhaled forcefully and a smile formed on her lips. Whatâs the big deal?
She would be able to separate them soon. In this world, there was no couple that could not be separated. After all, who would want to be someone elseâs replacement? Women all wanted to be a one-and-only. She would go now and befriend that foolish woman called Chloe Knightly. She remembered seeing Chloe in a little soaking pool halfway up the mountain. With that thought in mind, Nancy went down.
