Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 129 Romantic And Passionate

“What is it?” Annalise Barton asked.

“You’ll find out in a minute. Let’s go home first. There would be no surprises if Julian Parks told her now.

When they came out, he specially arranged for someone to decorate his new house.

He was going to be the groom tonight.

“What is it? Tell me!” Annalise couldn’t stand being kept in suspense by Julian.

Actually, she was not a nosey person. She was really not interested in other people’s gossip. However, when she

liked someone, she would pay special attention.

Julian smiled. “You’ll know tonight.”

“What’s going on? Why do I have to wait until tonight?” Annalise was even more frantic.

She immediately looked at the time. It was only five in the afternoon.

There were still a few hours before night fell.

Julian simply laughed.

“Tell me Annalise could not help but act a little coquettish.

Julian was determined to give Annalise a surprise. Otherwise, he would not be able to resist her coquettish

tone

He reached out to hold her hand and said gently, “We have to wait until tonight for this matter. By the way. you

didn’t give the medicine to Lianne Blake?”

He changed the subject.

Annalise nodded. “Yes.”

Julian had successfully changed the topic.

He was surprised. “Why didn’t you give it to her? The medicine is not suitable for Preston Blake to take now?”

Annalise did not hide anything and said honestly, “I originally wanted to process this pill into smaller pellets so that

no one would know that this is a special medicine. However, I suddenly thought that the Blake family’s situation

might be complicated. If the pellets fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, I’m afraid it will cause

unnecessary trouble.”

At first, she had thought that if someone discovered that this pellet had a special effect, she would just say that it

was given by Jonathan Woods.

Later on, she thought about it carefully, and felt she should not cause trouble for Jonathan.

Now that Jonathan had returned to his country, who knew how many rivals were eyeing him?

It was lonely at the top.

If someone wanted to mess with Jonathan, they could just say that this pill was lacking in production license,

inspection certificate, or manufacturer’s details, and Jonathan would be in big trouble.

Therefore, she wanted to make sure that no one could find any flaw with these pills. She would let Chloe help

process them first.

Chloe Knightly had a pharmaceutical factory, and all the drugs in the pharmaceutical factory were in compliance

with drug regulatory inspections.

When she lived in Horington, she would refine a batch of elixir pills for Chloe every once in a while.

Chloe would break down the elixir pills and process them into medicinal pills.

The medicinal pills processed from the elixir pills were only sold to Metropolis Hospital.

This was also one of the reasons why Metropolis Hospital’s reputation could soar in a short period of time.

Similarly, this was also the reason there were no elixir pills on the market, even though Annalise had refined many

elixir pills.

The elixir pills she refined were processed by Chloe’s pharmaceutical factory before going to Metropolis Hospital.

There were also people in Metropolis Hospital specially put in charge of controlling a few expensive medicinal

ingredients and they would not issue them to patients easily.

Firstly, they were expensive. Secondly, there was no need to use elixir pills for ordinary illnesses.

Julian was very gratified to see that Annalise was so meticulous. “Yes, you’ve considered it very thoroughly.”

Annalise said, “Preston’s illness can be treated slowly.”

“Yes, there’s no rush to treat his illness,” Julian agreed.

Annalise asked Julian, “Do you still want to go to the hospital to see Grandaunt Cassandra later?”

Julian replied, “No need. Grandaunt Cassandra’s situation is very good. Grandpa said he would accompany her for

two more days. We’ll go see her tomorrow morn… afternoon.”

He had something to do tonight, so Annalise probably wouldn’t be able to get up tomorrow morning.

When Annalise heard Julian change the time from tomorrow morning to afternoon, she looked at him with an odd

expression. Why did she feel that he was acting a little strange?

She could not tell what exactly was strange about his behavior.

Julian also noticed Annalise looking at him. He smiled and continued driving.

After dinner, in order to wait for the sky to turn completely dark, Julian even brought Annalise to the vegetable

garden.

As Annalise looked at the flourishing and eye-pleasing vegetables, she suddenly remembered what Julian had said

on the way back.

She tilted her head and asked him, “Don’t you have something else to do?”

The more she thought about it, the more she wondered if he was referring to something between a man and

a woman.

Otherwise, why would he say ‘we’?

And why did he have to wait until dark?

However, she was afraid that she was thinking too much as she did in the past.

That would be too awkward and embarrassing.

She didn’t want to ask, but she was curious.

This heart-wrenching feeling tortured her for a long time,

“Okay. Let’s go.” Julian led Annalise back to the house.

Then, they went upstairs.

When they went upstairs and turned the corner, Annalise smelled the fragrance.

Roses?

There was no doubt about it. They were roses.

That was because when she turned around, she saw that the corridor on the second floor was covered with rose

petals.

These roses were exceptionally fresh, and the petals were as beautiful as red flames. That feeling of a full bloom

was a pleasant surprise.

“Do you like it?” Julian asked with a gentle smile.

“I like it!” When Annalise saw Julian looking at her, she also looked at Julian warmly.

Julian held her hand and walked on the petals.

The petals were not thick, but they still felt different from stepping on the floor.

Annalise suddenly felt a little reluctant to step on them.

“Come.” Julian led her to the bedroom.

When he opened the door, the bed sheets in the room had all been changed.

They were now bright red.

The room gave off a joyous vibe.

On the bed, rose petals were arranged in the shape of a heart. Around the bed were several heart-shaped

arrangements.

On the vanity top, there was a large bouquet of roses.

The entire room was colored in a passionate and romantic red.

Next to the bouquet of roses was a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.

“Shall we have a drink?” said Julian.

In such a romantic atmosphere, Annalise found herself unable to say ‘No.’ She subconsciously said in agreement,

“Okay.”

Julian opened the bottle of red wine and turned the hourglass upside down to sober up.

He said to Annalise, “Let’s dance.”

“I… don’t really know how,” Annalise said.

She really didn’t know how to dance..

Although she had learned many skills from a few mentors, she rarely attended the various banquets.

It had only been slightly more than two years.

“Don’t worry. I’ll guide you.” Julian looked at Annalise warmly and extended his hand to her.

“I want to change into a dress,” Annalise said.

In such a romantic atmosphere, her T-shirt and jeans did not seem appropriate.

“Okay,” Julian replied.

Annalise immediately changed into a long dress.

After coming back, Julian was waiting for her.

His suit pants matched his shirt, and his hair was impeccably neat. His eyes were gentle and profound, and his lips

were curled up into a smile. In this sea of roses, he looked like a prince who had walked out of a comic book.

When he saw her, he extended his hand to her like a gentleman.

He exuded a noble air with just this hand gesture alone.

Annalise extended her hand to him and walked towards him barefooted.

The music was already playing. They began dancing to it.

He took her by the waist with both hands, and they held each other gently as they moved to the rhythm of the

music.

Before they even started drinking, they were already intoxicated…
