Chapter 186 One Surprise After Another
“Yes. Our dream home,” Julian replied with a gentle smile.
He took Annalise’s hand and walked to a cupboard. He opened a drawer and took out a property deed. “Here. Take
a look.”
Annalise took a look at the deed. She was even more surprised. “When did you make the purchase?”
It was purchased under her name. She had no idea.
Annalise was not short of money, but she was still pleasantly surprised to see her name on the property
deed
Julian smiled and said, “The day we registered our marriage.”
Quickly, Annalise calculated. They had registered their marriage only two months and three days ago.
“Is the house fully furnished?” She couldn’t help but ask,
“Yeah. Since I was in a hurry to move in, I bought it fully furnished. But I arranged the soft furnishings,” Julian said.
He took Annalise to look around the house. I chose the sofa. It’s the fabric sofa you liked.”
Suddenly, Annalise remembered that once when they were chatting, Julian had hugged her as they sat on the sofa.
He had asked her if she liked fabric, leather, or solid wood sofa.
He then asked her if she liked crystal glasses or mugs.
He even asked her what color she liked the most.
What kind of light fixtures did she like?
What color curtains did she like? Which material?
Back then, she thought Julian just wanted to know more about her.
Moreover, they were making small talk. He was free to ask anything.
She did not expect him to surprise her by decorating the house to her liking.
Annalise was overjoyed and took the initiative to pull Julian, looking around the house.
The curtains were her favorite color, ocean blue.
The light fixture was her favorite crystal lamp.
The glass on the dining table was her favorite crystal glass, too.
There was also a flower bouquet on the dining table. Every corner of the house was full of a certain joie de

She pulled Julian into the room. The bedding was her favorite color, too.
She then went to the bathroom. Even the toothbrush was her favorite color.
There were six pairs of slippers. Three of them were for her. He also bought her a pair of sandals and two pairs of
fluffy slippers. They were pink and sky blue, her favorite colors.
Every detail made her feel ecstatic.
“In the future, we can come and stay here at any time,” Julian said gently.
“Okay,” Annalise replied gratefully.
“If you’re upset with me, you can also tell me to get lost. This is your house,” Julian said with a smile.
“I won’t be.” Julian treated her so well. How could she be upset with him?
“Let’s go!” Julian thought of something and dragged Annalise to the second floor.
Juliani had designed the innermost room on the second floor as a pharmacy. There were two full-length shelves
with medicinal ingredients compartments.
The names of various medicinal ingredients were written on those small compartments.
Annalise reached out and pulled open a compartment with “Ginseng” written on it.
There were two high-quality ginsengs inside.
Annalise’s eyes lit up.
Julian asked gently, “Do you like it?”
“Yes,” Annalise replied enthusiastically.
She liked it a lot.
She had a separate house in Horington, but it did not have a pharmacy.
She had thought about making one.
She had not even done it yet, and he had already done it for her. How could she not like it?
She liked it so much that it was difficult to put it into words.
She quickly opened the boxes. Each labeled box contained the corresponding medicinal ingredients.
She was so surprised that she looked at him with an intense gaze.
“Let’s go!” Julian smiled and stretched his hand out toward Annalise.
Annalise immediately gave her hand to Julian.
Julian led Annalise back to the first floor.
He led her to the backyard.
Annalise thought he must have brought her there to admire the flowers.
Indeed, the flowers in the backyard were blooming dazzlingly. Just looking at them made her feel happy.
There was also a storage shed beside the wall in the backyard.
The storage shed was even bigger than the garage.
The storage room also had a fingerprint lock. Julian entered his fingerprint, and the door opened.
It was very bright inside, and it was at least dozens of square meters.
It was just a storage shed, but the lighting was of such good quality. There was no need to turn on the lights. during
the day.
Julian led Annalise in.
Only then did Annalise see that there were three side-by-side hearths inside.
The hearth was similar to the one at the Parks family’s residence. However, it had undergone some improvement.
There was a bench beside the hearth. It was the size of an average square table.
Julian pointed at the bench and said, “If you’re refining pills, this bench is perfect for you to place your medicinal
ingredients.”
“You’re so thoughtful!” Annalise was pleasantly surprised.
“There’s gas over here,” said Julian. “All the kindling is here. There’s firewood and dry charcoal.”
He knew that Annalise needed different temperatures for refining pills. She might not use the gas, but he thought it
was better to be prepared.
“This is amazing,” Annalise’s big eyes sparkled.
It would be much more convenient for her to refine pills in the future. Here, she would not have to worry about
being found out.
“This is where the clay pot is. I’ll have someone prepare a few more,” Julian said.
*Julian, thank you…” Annalise had tried her best not to say those words the entire time.
But at that moment, she wanted to thank him from the bottom of her heart.
She was thankful for how well he treated her and for everything he had done for her.
She could not help but rush over and hug Julian’s waist,
Annalise just wanted a hug. But Julian had something more in mind.
After hugging him, she wanted to let go, but he held her tightly in his arms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe started kissing her hair, her cheeks, her ears, and her lips….
He pinned her against the wall.
His kiss went from gentle to passionate.
She went weak in his arms.
He lifted her.
If not for the fact that the hearth was too cold, he might not have been able to restrain himself.
He looked around.
He felt that this space needed a sofa and bed.
Forcefully restraining himself, he held her tightly to curb the desire stirring in the depths of his heart.
Julian kissed her forehead again. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “Let’s go eat.”
He hired a part-time housekeeper to clean the villa every day. He would also give further notice if he needed the
housekeeper to cook.
That day, he had informed the housekeeper to prepare lunch in advance.
It should be ready now.
He took Annalise to the swimming pool.
There was a glass table by the pool. The housekeeper had prepared some fruits and drinks for them.
Annalise looked at the spread and somehow felt that Julian really knew how to enjoy life.
And she happened to like this kind of indulgence.
She thought that if one had the means, one should make oneself comfortable.
“Let’s sit here first. We’ll get to eat soon.” Julian said, “We can also swim for a while.”
“It’s getting cold,” Annalise said.
It was only about ten degrees Celsius, and she was already wearing a thick coat.
“The water is temperature-controlled. It’s not cold,” Julian said.
Annalise shook her head. “No, I don’t want to swim. I’ll swim in summer next year.”
She was actually a little shy.
It was strange. She was never shy when she went to the public swimming pool. But now that she had her own pool,
she felt uncomfortable.
Julian looked at Annalise and smiled gently. “Okay.”
She must be shy.
He liked how Annalise looked when she was shy.
He was determined to lure her into the swimming pool tonight.
He wanted to swim with her under the night sky.
