    Chapter 107 Closer


    Annalise looked at Julian. She sensed his grief and regret when he mentioned his mother. She was


    shocked She believed him.


    Because he had been really good to her.


    Moreover, Julian was right. If he and Lianne were indeed a couple, he would not have agreed to enter


    into marriage with the Barton family. He would not need to go to Horington, either.


    And he was not someone who liked to flirt around with women.


    After spending such a long time in Jadeborough, he had not interacted with any women other than


    Lianne and Sybil.


    Julian thought that Annalise still did not believe him. He suddenly thought of something and shouted,


    “Hey, Goldie!”


    “Yes, sir.” A voice suddenly came from his phone.


    Annalise looked at Julian’s pocket in surprise. Goldie? Was it something like Siri?


    She heard Julian ask, “Goldie, do you have a recording of my conversation with Lianne on the day of


    Madam ke’s surgery, at around three in the afternoon?”


    *Please wait a moment, sir.” A robotic voice sounded.


    “Sir, I’ve found the recording of your conversation with Lianne from that afternoon. Would you like me to


    y it?” the system asked.


    “Yes. y it,” Julian said.


    Julian took out his phone, and his voice immediately sounded. “I have something to tell you. If you’re


    willing to take the risk, someone might be able to save your brother. Of course, you’ll have to bear the


    risk yourself.”


    Immediately after, Lianne’s excited voice was heard, “Really? Can his condition be treated? Let me see


    this doctor. I want to talk to them in person. I want to know what the risk is.”


    Julian said, “Alright. When the timees, I’ll let the doctor look at Preston’s condition. We’ll talk about


    the details afterward.”


    Lianne asked, “Are you referring to Dr. Jonathan Woods?”


    Julian answered, “No. But if you want to invite Dr. Woods, I’ll arrange it.”


    Lianne said, “Thank you! I’ll be leaving now, then. After you’ve made the appointment, contact me at


    any time. 100 immediately bring Preston over.”


    “Alright,” Julian said.


    Immediately after, the system’s voice sounded. “Sir, the recording of your conversation with Lianne has


    finished ying.”


    Annalise felt terrible.


    She had already believed him a moment ago. She did not need him to prove his innocence in such a


    way.


    It made her feel as if she was hurting him, as well as their rtionship.


    She thought that her mistrust must have made him ufortable.


    She remembered. Julian had told her that he had spoken with Lianne. Whenever Annalise had the time


    to look at Lianne’s brother, Lianne would bring her brother over.


    Annalise had said there was no need to pick Preston up and that they should not let hime into


    contact with unfamiliar environments. Therefore, they took the initiative to go to the vi to take a look


    at Preston. He had never lied to her, but she did not trust him because of a photo someone else had


    taken.


    “I’m sorry,” she said.


    Julian said nothing.


    ‘I was wrong. I’m sorry!” Annalise reached for Julian’s hand.


    “Goldie, turn off all functions,” Julian shouted.


    “Yes, sir, replied Goldie.


    All of a sudden, Julian hugged Annalise tightly and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and


    looked at her with eyes full of passion. His voice was hoarse. “Do you believe me now?”


    “Yes, I’m sorry, I… Annalise felt terrible.


    Julian suddenly leaned down and passionately kissed Annalise on the lips.


    Annalise had never felt so captivated by their kiss.


    When they kissed in the past, she only felt it was sweet and blissful.


    However, this kiss was stirring her insides, making her heart palpitate and shudder. To her, this felt like


    a true love’s kiss.


    From now on, she decided to trust him. If she encountered anything she was uncertain about, she


    would ask him immediately.


    “Silly. Why are you crying?” Julian saw Annalise crying and immediately kissed her tears away.


    “I’m sorry. I love you!” Annalise cried.


    She admitted that she loved him.


    That was the reason why she felt terrible when she saw him with Lianne.


    She had tried her best not to care, but she couldn’t.


    She had felt extremely upset.


    But at this moment, she felt free. She felt happy all of a sudden.


    “Say that again.” Julian looked at her excitedly when he heard Annalise say that she loved him.


    Seeing how jealous she was just now, he knew she was starting to care about him, too.


    But he did not expect her to say that she loved him.


    Like him, she must have be emotionally invested in their marriage.


    It turned out that these three words could sound so wonderful. It felt addictive, like a drug.

    *Julian Parks, I love you.” There were still tears in Annalise’s eyes, but her lips were smiling.


    Suddenly, Julian hugged Annalise tightly and kissed her even more passionately.


    He wrapped his hands tightly around her waist and pulled her into his arms. At that moment, he wanted


    to


    melt into her.


    He felt his body heating up like crazy.


    He hated the fact that they weren’t in their bedroom.


    Had that been the case, he would not need to restrain himself. He wanted to be her man.


    But right here, no matter how much he loved her, he could only kiss her.


    The waitress had just brought the cart over to serve them the dishes. But when she saw Julian and


    Annalise kissing, she immediately turned around.


    She had already waited for three minutes, but the two of them still did not let go of each other.


    There was a dish that had to be served now. If she waited any longer, the dish would lose its best taste.


    Otherwise, she would not wish to disturb them.


    The waitress was smart enough not to cough. Instead, she gently tapped the cutlery, making a sharp


    clinking sound.


    Seeing Julian and Annalise pull away when they heard the sound, the waitress respectfully pushed the


    cart over and exined politely, “I’m sorry to have kept you both waiting.”


    The waitress served the dishes one by one and left them to enjoy their meal. Tactfully, she stepped


    away and left them alone.


    After getting past that ordeal, Julian and Annalise’s rtionship went to a whole new level.


    The two of them sat on the same sofa. Annalise took the initiative to hold Julian’s hand.


    Then, seeing that Julian did not rnove, she smiled. “You should have a bite.”


    Julian smiled, too.


    Once his hands were free, he picked up his chopsticks and served her some food. “Come, try this.”


    After serving her, he picked up some prawns and immediately peeled them for her.


    “You can go ahead and eat. You don’t have to peel it for me,” Annalise said when she saw Julian put


    the prawns onto her te.


    “I want to peel it for you,” Julian said with a gentle smile.


    Annalise also picked up a prawn.


    Julian immediately said, “I’ll peel it for you. You don’t have to do it yourself.”


    Annalise smiled and said, “Let me peel it for you, too. It’ll make me really happy.”
