Chapter 84 Jonathan Woods Approves Julian âI like it!â Julian was still smiling at Annalise.
How could he not like it when she even bought him something close-fitting like socks?
âAs long as you like it,â Annalise immediately said.
For some reason, she felt flirtatious when she saw his smile.
Then her heart would race and her cheeks would burn.
She immediately went to pay and stuffed the handbag into Julianâs hands. âHere, itâs for you.â
Julian took the bag and blocked Annaliseâs way out.
âHuh? Whatâs wrong?â Annalise could not help but ask.
Although they had not known each other for long, she knew some of his habits. Everything there was something he wanted to say, he would block her way.
âThere are still things that we need to buy,â Julian said.
âHuh? What else do we need to buy?â Annalise was dumbfounded.
âI have a shirt, a jacket, and socks. I just need one more thing,â Julian reminded her.
âA belt? I think your belt looks pretty good.â Annalise subconsciously glanced at Julianâs waist.
When she looked away, she raised her head slightly and met Julianâs smiling eyes.
She flushed with embarrassment. She did not look around in the wrong places. She just looked at his belt. She quickly said, âThen, let me help you pick a belt.â
âIâm not talking about a belt.â Julian smiled at Annalise.
Because he was moved, his voice was a little hoarse.
Annalise looked at Julian in surprise.
Her dark and bright eyes, pure and clear gaze, inquisitive expression, and exquisite facial features made Julian want to sink into every aspect.
He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, âItâs to be worn inside.â
Annaliseâs face flushed red. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in the ground.
The clothes inside⦠How could she buy them for him?
She immediately said, âJohn is about to land. Letâs go pick him up.â
She rushed out of the store with her face flushed.
Julian looked at Annaliseâs red ears from behind. His lips curled into a beautiful smile. She looked good when she was shy.
On the way to the airport, Julian asked about Jonathan Woodsâ preferences, what dishes he liked to eat, and if he had any food taboos.
Annalise told Julian whatever she thought of, though she did not expect him to remember it at all.
Not long after they arrived at the airport, they saw a man walking out wearing sunglasses and pulling his suitcase.
The man was wearing a Paul Frank T-shirt and looked very fashionable.
âJohn, over here.â Annalise immediately ran over.
Julian was a little stunned.
He had specially asked for Jonathanâs age. Annalise said that he was 51 years old that year. Hence the mental image he had of Jonathan was a greasy middle-aged man.
However, the person in front of him looked well-proportioned and was at most 40 years old. How could he be 51 years old?
Jonathan reached out to pat Annaliseâs head and handed the suitcase to her.
Julian was very resistant and uncomfortable about Jonathan touching Annaliseâs head. However, when he saw Jonathan let go immediately, he tried his best not to think about it.
He immediately went over to take the luggage and greeted, âHello, Iâm Annieâs husband, Julian Parks!â
âHello, Iâm Annaâs senior, lan Lawrence. Although weâre not related by blood, Iâm closer to her than she is to her biological brother,â Jonathan said.
Julian passed the first round of Jonathanâs Assessment.
He had deliberately given the suitcase to Anna to see if the well-pampered Mr. Parks would help hold the suitcase.
He would not approve of a man who wouldnât help women move heavy things, carry backpacks, or take the initiative to hold children, no matter how high the manâs status was.
âHello,â Julian greeted him.
Then, he said, âI heard from Annie that you donât want to reveal your identity. Then before you do, we will just address you as âBrotherâ.â
âSure,â Jonathan replied.
âThis Mr. Parks has some good ideas,â he thought.
âBrother, please get in the car!â Julian pulled the suitcase with one hand and held Annalise with the other. They walked to the black Rolls-Royce.
Jonathan got into the car without hesitation. The chauffeur placed the suitcase in the trunk, and Julian helped Annalise into the car.
After getting into the car, Julian took out the gift and gave it to Jonathan, âBrother, itâs our first time meeting. It is just a small gift. Please accept it.â
âThank you!â Jonathan accepted it happily.
He wanted to see what gift Julian had given him and whether he was being stingy.
Money was a scale that could weigh all things.
With Julianâs current status, if the gift he bought for Jonathan was only in the tens of thousands of dollars range, he most likely looked down on Anna.
Jonathan opened the packaging and saw the watch inside.
Although there was no receipt, he could tell its value at a glance. It was something worth a few hundred thousand dollars.
He looked at Julian again and saw that he was still holding Annaliseâs hand.
He said in satisfaction, âThank you!â
âBrother, you are probably tired from the journey, have some rest first,â Julian said.
âOkay.â Jonathan leaned into the seat and closed his eyes to rest.
He then opened his eyes slightly and secretly observed Julianâs expression.
He wanted to see if Julian was angry or not.
He had deliberately acted rudely and handed the suitcase to Annalise unreasonably. Moreover, he did not bring any gifts for them and even accepted Julianâs gifts without hesitation.
Yet, he saw that Julianâs expression was calm without any displeasure. Moreover, he was still playing with Annaâs fingers.
That action was so similar to when Jonathan pursued his wife back then!
How did they achieve national unity on such a thing?
Thinking of that, Jonathan smiled.
Annalise and Julian were a perfect match.
Julian discovered a treasure by marrying a genius Annalise.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Annalise asked curiously.
âCall me brother,â Jonathan said.
*Brother.â
âIâm laughing because your sister-in-law didnât prepare anything for my return. She only packed two childish T-shirts for me.â
âThey are not childish. Sister-in-law has good taste.â
âThatâs right. If she doesnât have good taste, why would she like me?â
âNarcissist.â
âHaha.â
Jonathan and Annalise both laughed.
Jonathan suddenly sat up and looked at Annalise. He frowned and said, âYou gained a bit of weight.
Give me your hand.â
As he spoke, he took Annaâs pulse without any explanation.
Annalise was speechless!
There was nothing between her and Julian. How could she be pregnant? Jonathan was being a busybody Julian could not help but stare at Jonathanâs hand when he saw him taking Annaliseâs pulse.
It was as if Julian was supervising him to only take Annaliseâs pulse and not do anything else.
Julian did not want to behave that way either. He also told himself that Jonathan was Annaliseâs senior, but he just couldnât control himself.
Jonathan finished taking her pulse and saw Julianâs guarded expression. He wanted to laugh again.
Heavenâs favored Julian Parks was jealous. Haha, his little Anna was indeed the most charming!
A manâs love had to be possessive.
He was getting more and more optimistic about the two of them.
