He walked directly toward her after coming out and asked her, “How do I look?”Nora wanted to cover her face after taking a few glances. She did not have the courage to continue looking at him. She felt as if she would be completely mesmerized if she did.However, there was a voice telling her that she should not be mesmerized. She should not be mesmerized by him because he would never be truly sincere toward her. What would she do in the future if she was mesmerized by him?“You look quite handsome.” She could only give a faint answer like this. In fact, what she was truly thinking was that he was really handsome! Incredibly handsome!“That’s all?”Julian was very dissatisfied with her answer, so he leaned closer so that she could take a better look at him. Nora hurriedly pushed him back to the bedroom as she said, “Hurry up and change into the next shirt.”So, Julian went in and changed into the second shirt.He wore the shirt in a casual style this time. He left a few buttons
They ordered takeout and had a satisfying meal. Julian watched her eat and said, “Let’s have dinner together at my house tomorrow. I’ll cook for you.”He suddenly wanted to see her satisfied expression after enjoying a meal he prepared himself. Stunned, Nora asked, “Are you serious?”Even though Julian had emphasized that he could cook, Nora had never been able to picture him cooking. She felt that he was born to succeed in the business world, just like Ryan, and not to cook in the kitchen. “You’d know if it’s true after you come tomorrow, wouldn't you?”Nora was dissatisfied when Julian responded to her like this. She asked, “Why don’t you come to my house, then? I don’t want to go to your place.”Nora felt that it was very dangerous to be at his house. She would feel more secure if he came to her place because it would be on her territory.Julian pointed to her barely used kitchen and said, “Your kitchen is just a decoration, and there’s almost nothing that can be used for
Julian did not let her drive because he was afraid that Mrs. Maton would see her, and Nora’s identity would be known as soon as she checked Nora’s car license plate. Julian smiled impishly and said, “I’ll just pick you up, or you can stay at my place tonight.”“I don’t want to!”Nora snorted and turned around to fasten her seat belt. Julian did not say anything else and drove away with a smile. Mrs. Maton did send someone to Julian’s villa to keep an eye on him, just as he had guessed. He went over at around 5.00PM when Julian was about to get off work and found out that Julian had already returned home long ago, and only his own car was parked outside. After receiving the report, Mrs. Maton snorted, “That sly boy.”The person continued to keep an eye on Julian’s villa, but after a while, he called to report that Ryan had driven to Julian’s place.Mrs. Maton doubted her own judgment. ‘Could it be that Julian really only invited his friend over for dinner?’After thinking abo
Julian was of course unwilling to let her go. He finally had the opportunity to be alone with her like this. In addition, there was no way he would just let her go because he had a pile of food he was preparing to cook for her in the kitchen. He hugged her and pacified her. “He won’t discover you. He will probably fall asleep soon.”However, Nora was completely frightened and insisted on leaving. “No, no, it’s too dangerous. I won’t be able to stay here with peace of mind as long as he’s still in this villa.”Julian wanted to say more, but Nora tugged at his sleeve and begged pitifully, “My brother has been in a bad mood since he divorced Silvia. I really don’t want him to find out about our relationship at this time. I don’t want to make him angry.”She then added, “I won’t be in the mood to taste your cooking since my brother is here, so it’ll be a waste of the food you would work so hard to prepare anyway. Let’s have our date another day and just stop here today, okay?”Julian c
There was a song lyric that went, ‘The best feeling is intrigue.’He thought so too.New Year’s Eve. Julian went home to celebrate the New Year with his parents. Jason, who initially said that he would come back during the New Year, postponed his return because of his academic research. He said that he would be back after the New Year, but he did not specify any dates. Julian’s grandparents were still alive and healthy, so they celebrated the New Year with them. This time of the year was the most painful for Julian, because not only Mrs. Maton would urge him to get married, his grandmother would do the same. It was the same this year. When the New Year’s Eve dinner almost ended, Mrs. Maton started her usual routine to urge him to get married. However, this year, she left Julian speechless when she spoke up. When Mrs. Maton glanced at him, Julian knew that she was about to start her usual nagging, so he braced himself. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Maton asked, “Have you broken up with t
She did not dare to let her family know that she was in a relationship with Julian, nor did she plan to let them know. Unexpectedly, her mother arranged a blind date for her with Jason out of the blue. Nora did not dare to tell Julian that her mother had arranged for her to go on a blind date with his brother in the face of his concerned inquiry. In the end, she finally had to use her parents’ matter as an excuse. She thought that she would be able to hang up the phone then, but Julian took the initiative to ask her out when he heard that she was in a bad mood. “Are you done eating? Let’s meet up after your dinner.”Nora frowned and replied, “What? We’d better not meet up. It’s the New Year.”She was in a state of confusion now, so how could she be in the mood to meet him?However, he refused to give up and said, “It’s even more important for us to meet up because it’s the New Year. Come and wish me a Happy New Year, and I’ll give you some New Year’s money as your elder brother.
After driving to the neighborhood where Ophelia lived, he saw Ryan’s car downstairs, so he knew that Ryan hadn’t left yet. He thought of going back home first, but he was too lazy to head out again later, so he found a hidden corner to park the car and sat in the car to wait for her.When Ryan had finally left, he got out of the car immediately and called her. He then waited for her to get fully dressed before she came down, so his body got cold. Nora released his hand. Julian looked at her in confusion, then he saw that she was trying to put on her furry gloves on his hands to try to warm him up as she muttered to herself, “If I had known, I would have come down earlier.”However, the gloves could only fit into his fingertips because his hands were so big, which created a hilarious scene.She sighed in frustration. “Why are your hands so big?”Although it was comical, Julian could still feel her concern for him. He took her gloves off, held her hand again, and said, “I’ll warm u
So, it dragged on for a while until January 15th when the busy period at the beginning of the New Year was finally over. The two had been busy with their work and had not had any dates in private from the time they went back to work during the New Year, but they saw each other a lot during the day at the company. They had both been busy, especially Julian, who had to attend various cocktail parties and banquets at the start of the year, so he spent most of his nights socializing. That day, Nora finally mustered the courage to call Julian and asked if he had time in the evening. She said that she wanted to have dinner with him. Julian happened to be free and was thinking of asking her out, but he did not expect that she would take the initiative to ask him out first, so he was rather surprised. After all, in the past six months they were together, he had been the one initiating almost every date, so he happily agreed to her invitation. The two of them did not go to Julian’s house bu
