Chapter 52: Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Defending His Wife Annalise’s heart suddenly ached.

Then, she laughed heartlessly. “Haha, you don’t have to be so good to me! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of your grandpa.”

Annalise thought about it and felt that the reason why Julian was so good to her might be related to Samuel.

“I want to be good to you not because you helped grandpa, nor because you’re outstanding, but because you’re my wife!” Julian said.

He was moved by her because of what she said to Benjamin, during the first time he and Annalise met.

“Even a 52-year-old cripple is cleaner than you!”

He admired her decisive personality. When Annalise encountered betrayal, instead of crying, she just turned around and left.

No matter how sad or dejected, even if her emotions were getting out of control, she would make the right decisions rationally.

The disdainful look she gave Benjamin made Julain feel that Annalise’s entire soul was clean.

Annalise despised men who cheated, and so did Julian!

“But we are…*

Before Annalise could say more, Julian placed his index finger on Annalise’s lips. Julian looked at her gently and said in a bewitching voice, “Annie, we can try to treat it as real. Perhaps, after interacting with each other for a long time, we will realize that we share the same values and our personalities match, and we get used to and like having each other around.”

Annalise felt the warmth of Julian’s finger. Listening to his words and seeing his eyes, her heart beat wildly again.

She immediately said, “Let’s go downstairs for a walk. I’ll go change first.”

She immediately took a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, quickly returning to the bedroom.

Julian looked at Annalise’s fleeing back and smiled again.

Annalise went to change her clothes. Julian also pushed open a cabinet door and changed into a T-

shirt. When Annalise came out after changing her clothes, she felt that her look was too similar to Julian’s. “Let’s go. I’ll show you what grandpa planted,” Julian said.

“Your grandpa is growing vegetables?” Annalise’s eyes were filled with surprise.

She grew up in the countryside and had deep feelings for the land and farming.

The concept of farming was close and endearing to her.

“Yes,” Julian replied.

Annalise could not suppress his excitement. “Let’s have a look!”

The two of them went downstairs.

Julian introduced the building to Annalise. “That building is where Tony’s family of three lives. Over there, there’s Albert’s family. That’s Christopher, and that’s Cassandra’s… But they don’t usually live here.”

When Annalise heard about Tony’s family of three, her heart ached.

Every time she heard about Julian’s background, her heart ached a little. She didn’t know if she felt sorry for herself or for Julian.

This time, she took Julian’s hand and squeezed it to comfort him.

Julian’s lips suddenly curled into a smile. She held Annalise’s hand and introduced him all the way.

“Grandpa was rich since young. He didn’t know how to grow vegetables growing up. However, grandma’s family background was not good. After grandma married grandpa, she saw that there was a big courtyard at home, so she started to grow vegetables. My grandparents were very close. Grandpa watched his wife grow vegetables and helped her grow them.

“Later on, he too developed the habit of growing vegetables. Grandma has been gone for decades, but grandpa’s habit stuck regardless.”

Julian figured that perhaps that was Samuel’s way of remembering his wife.

As Julian spoke, the smile on his lips disappeared, and his tone turned a little heavy.

Feeling Annalise squeeze his hand again. Julian smiled and said, “This entire vegetable garden is taken care of by grandpa alone. He usually doesn’t let anyone help him unless he was out of town and didn’t return home for a few days. Only then he would ask the servants at home to help water the plants.”

“They look good. fertilized often?” Annalise asked.

“Yeah,” Julian said. “There’s a chicken farm over there. Chicken manure is used for fertilization.”

Annalise was shocked.

Her masters loved the countryside so much that they went to live as hermits there. Yet, none of them even grew their own vegetables, arranging for servants to buy from villagers instead.

However, the dignified head of Parks Group in Jadeborough actually planted vegetables himself.

“Is there anything you like to eat? We can pick them here and get the servants to cook them,” Julian said. Annalise immediately looked at the time. It was only about three in the afternoon. There was still time for her to pick vegetables and have servants take care of them. She was tempted to do so.

Seeing Annalise’s bright eyes, Julian smiled. “Pick the vegetables. I’ll go back and get a basket. We can make more vegetable dishes.”

“Alright!” Annalise could not suppress her excitement.

Annalise really had no resistance to such good-looking vegetables.

She looked around and saw all kinds of vegetables. There were tender long beans, verdant cucumbers, string peppers, chili peppers, and purple eggplants, and that lush green radishes…

She thought of her greed and wondered what to do if she wanted to pick everything.

She couldn’t control her hands at all.

She immediately began to pinch the cabbages. In just a short while, she picked up quite a handful.

“Pfft…” Suddenly, a mocking laugh was heard elsewhere.

Annalise straightened her back and looked over. She saw Abigail in a pink dress.

Annalise could not be bothered with Abigail. Just as she was about to bend down and continue picking the cabbage, Abigail mocked, “Well, well, well indeed! Even if you grew up in a village and had that reek of bumpkin all over you, you should still pretend in such an environment. It’s fine if you embarrass yourself in Horington, but you’re now embarrassing yourself even in the capital. You shouldn’t call yourself a Barton in the future. I, of the Barton family, can’t afford to lose face like this.

“I think it’s better if you don’t go to Old Mr. Parks’s birthday banquet. It’s fine if you embarrass yourself in the garden, but please don’t embarrass yourself in public.

“Do you have no money to buy clothes? Why are you dressed like a slob?

“Didn’t Dad give you like 3000 dollars a month as pocket money? Did you save them to buy a coffin for yourself?”

“Yes, for buying you one, that is!” Two voices were heard at the same time.

One voice was from Annalise, and the other voice was from Julian.

Julian looked at Abigail coldly. “Do you think our T-shirts or jeans are dirt?”

He had only gone to get a basket and Abigail already came over to look for trouble.

Devious people really wormed their way everywhere.

When Abigail saw that Julian was wearing the same T-shirt and jeans as Annalise, she felt angry and indignant.

Julian couldn’t have possibly dressed shabbily after all.

That god-like man was originally her fiancé!

Now, Annalise had beaten her to it. She was so angry.

She really wanted to continue arguing with Annalise, but Julian was present, so she didn’t dare to.

He could only say unhappily, “Oh, Julian, I was just joking with Anna.”

“Don’t get so chummy with me in the future. You repel me. And she doesn’t have a sister like you. Now get lost!” Julian shouted directly.

“Jul…”

“I said get lost!” Julian’s aura was cold.

Abigail was furious. She stomped her feet, covered her mouth, and ran away feeling grieved.
