To achieve a realistic state of watching a movie, the two of them put their cell phones on silent mode. Nora was so caught up in watching the television series that she forgot to look at her cell phone, which was why Julian could not reach her even after calling her again and again. Nora nestled comfortably on the couch to watch the television series she had been obsessed with lately while drinking juice and eating snacks. Since the weekend came around, she decided to binge-watch the entire television series so she would not have to be thinking about it all the time during working hours. For her, single life was really comfortable. She did not have to live for anyone and did not have to be sad because of anyone. It was great. Just as she was immersed in such comfort, there was a sudden knock on her door, which startled her.She felt very guilty because they were lying to parents from both sides that they were out on a date. She was also startled by the knock on the door and quic
Before Nora, he hadn’t dated any women for at least half a year. His love life was completely blank during that period. He was only together with the model for a few days after Nora, and he was just making use of her, so it was not much of a relationship, not to mention Yvonne.However, before Julian could complain and defend himself, Mrs. Maton said again, “Okay, I won’t continue talking to you anymore. Anyway, you can find out whether the girl is trustworthy and suitable for Jason when you come back and have dinner tomorrow night.”Mrs. Maton hung up the phone after she was done speaking. After some hesitation, Julian informed Nathan to change their itinerary. He wanted to go back to see the girl who could make Jason, who only ever had his research in mind, fall in love and bring her home for dinner. Nora was depressed about going to Jason’s house for dinner. She had never expected that Mrs. Maton would invite her to go to their house for dinner. She had only known Jason for a fe
Julian felt as if his chest was about to explode out of anger. He felt uncomfortable, while Nora felt even more devastated. She was petrified on the spot when she heard Jason say that Julian was back. She had only come to this dinner reluctantly because she knew for certain that Julian would not be back tonight. She would never have agreed to come if she had known that Julian would be here too.However, it was already too late, and they had already met awkwardly. In addition, Jason was calling her to go over, so she could only get up and walk over. This was the most basic etiquette. Jason was Julian’s younger brother, so as Jason’s girlfriend, she naturally had to take the initiative to greet Julian.She was in a real relationship with Julian previously, but their relationship was a secret, and now, she was pretending to be in a relationship with Jason, but their relationship was public. She really had an inexplicable destiny with the two brothers. Nora did not know how to explai
The stifled feeling in his heart became more pronounced. He lit another cigarette, took a puff, and asked her somewhat wearily, “What about you, then? What do you think? Do you like Jason?”Nora did not expect that Julian would ask her if she liked Jason, so she was stunned for a moment. However, she then said nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter if I like him or not. We can be together if the elders think we are suitable for each other.”She was not going to tell him that she and Jason were just faking the relationship. In fact, even though she was emotionally dull, she could tell that Julian had feelings for her through their contact after their breakup. However, she felt that he was a playboy, so even if he had feelings for her, it would not last long.She thought that it would be better for her to use her relationship with Jason to stop him from pestering her so that she could live her own life peacefully while he could continue living his life as a playboy who was surrounded by all
Everyone started eating once the dishes were served. When Nora wanted to take a piece of fish for herself, Julian coincidentally wanted to take the same piece of fish too. Both of them were stunned for a moment as they froze in place. Logically speaking, he should give way to her in this situation. However, Julian looked at Nora coldly, then he picked up the piece of fish and ate it himself. Nora could only retract her fork.Everyone at the table was shocked at Julian’s ungentlemanly behavior. After all, a Maton shouldn’t behave like this. Such a thing should never have happened according to how Margaret had educated Mr. Maton, and how Mrs. Maton had educated her two sons. Mrs. Maton was angry and embarrassed. She scolded, “Julian, how could you…” She wanted to ask how he could snatch food from a guest, but she felt that it was too embarrassing to mention it. However, Julian was calm and composed as he said, “I need to eat fish to nourish my brain. I’ve been feeling very tired
”I drank wine tonight, so please give me a lift and drop me back to my place too.” Julian did not wait for Jason and Nora’s reaction after saying that and took the lead to walk toward Jason’s car. Nora thought that she could finally get rid of Julian. Unexpectedly, he said that he wanted to hitch a ride in Jason’s car. The thought of sitting in the same car with him made her feel as if she was about to break down.Jason looked at Nora’s shining beautiful black eyes and asked for her opinion. “Should we give him a ride?” All Nora could think of was that she did not want to spend any more time with Julian, so she instinctively replied to Jason, “It’s better if he doesn’t ride with us.”She felt that it was inappropriate as soon as she was done speaking and quickly wanted to amend her words. However, she saw that Jason had already caught up to Julian as he said, “Julian, Nora said that it’d be better if you don’t hitch a ride with us. You can take a cab back by yourself.”Nora was
His cell phone suddenly rang when he was about to drink the glass of wine he had poured for himself. He almost wanted to throw his cell phone away when he saw that it was a phone call from Jason.However, he did not do so and answered the call as if nothing had happened. “What’s up?” he asked faintly. Jason spoke with a smile. “It’s the weekend tomorrow. Do you have any plans?”Julian was too annoyed to beat around the bush with him, so he said, “Just spill if you have something to say.”Jason continued to smile and had a very sincere attitude as he said, “I made an appointment with Nora to go hiking together tomorrow. Do you want to come with us? Perhaps you can give me some advice on how I should act on a date. I’ve never been in a relationship before, so I don’t know how to make a girl happy—”Julian hung up the phone before Jason could finish his sentence. Jason put his cell phone away and continued driving. He was so elated that he almost laughed out loud. It seemed that his
After regaining her senses, she walked over, picked up the document, and said hesitantly, “Mr. Julian, can I take this back with me and get it done at my office? I’ll send it to you once it’s done.”She was afraid that she would suffocate if she had to work in the same space as him. She could feel the low air pressure and thin air as soon as she stepped into the office. She would not be able to concentrate at all if she had to work under such conditions. If she made a mistake, she would be reprimanded harshly again.After she said that, he glanced at her coldly, so she no longer had any more opinions. She carried her laptop and walked to a long table in his office that could fit a few people and started working at the table.She did not sleep well last night, so she started to yawn repeatedly when she was faced with such a pile of data. It was not that she did not want to concentrate, but it was because her brain could not keep up at all.She almost fell asleep when she suddenly fe
