    Chapter 108 Falling Deeper In Love


    Julian looked at Annalise tenderly and replied, “Okay.”


    After that small misunderstanding, their rtionship seemed to have evolved. They had be truly


    connected.


    After finishing their lunch, Julian asked Annalise if she was tired.


    Annalise shook her head. “I’m not.”


    She suddenly felt energetic. After confessing her feelings, her mind felt like it was in apletely


    different state than before.


    In the past, she was a little shy. She was hesitant and conflicted. Now, she had happily epted her


    feelings and looked forward to their rtionship. She hoped to have a future with Julian.


    “Shall we go on a speedboat?” Julian suggested.


    “Sure!” Annalise’s eyes lit up.


    Julian was very observant. He did not miss the excitement in Annalise’s eyes. He held her hand and


    said, “Let’s go, then.”


    From the sky restaurant, one could see the sea in the distance. While it seemed very close, it still took


    40 minutes to drive there, and that was considered rtively fast.


    When they reached the speedboat and jet-ski area, Julian asked Annalise, “Should we go on the jet ski


    or the speedboat?”


    “I want the speedboat,” Annalise answered eagerly.


    Although she was really capable and liked to experience all kinds of exciting things, she never had the


    chance to participate in many sports.


    “Okay,” Julian replied gently. He took the life jacket from the staff and put it on Annalise.


    “TIl do it myself,” Annalise said.


    “TII help you.” Julian was extremely gentle.


    Just looking at his gentle movements made Annalise’s heart beat faster. She said softly, “I really wish


    we could stay like this forever.”


    Julian was tying the rope around Annalise’s life jacket, with his head lowered. When he heard her


    words, he looked up at her and smiled. “No, we will be better than we are now. Because we’ll be much


    closer, and we’ll have children in the future, too.”


    Annalise suddenly blushed.


    Julian looked at her blushing face and fell for her even harder.


    He fastened her life jacket and stroked her face. “Let’s go.”


    Annalise saw that someone seemed to be secretly taking photos of them. Gently, she poked Julian and


    pouted in that direction.


    “Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for someone to take it down,” Julian said.


    Annalise reached out to hold Julian’s hand. She said, “Actually, there’s no need. If there’s news, more


    people will know about us. Just treat it as free publicity. I’m thinking that since someone else is taking


    pictures of us, why don’t we take some pictures ourselves? The more popr it gets, the better it will


    be for our sales. No matter what, we can still do whatever we want.”


    “Aren’t you a smart one?” Julian reached out and pinched Annalise’s face dotingly.


    Her skin was youthful. Although she was very thin, there was still baby fat on her face. She looked


    really lovely.


    Annalise chuckled.


    Julian took out his phone and sent a message. He arranged for the photographer to follow them for the


    day. Either way, they would do their own thing, and the photographer would do his.


    After making the necessary arrangement, they went on the speedboat.


    At first, Annalise did not know how to ride one. Patiently, Julian exined how to ride and control it.


    After Julian took Annalise around for ap, she started doing it by herself. At first, it was a little slow,


    but after only half ap, she grew familiar with it and drove the speedboat at higher speed.


    However, upon seeing that they were about to collide with another speedboat, Julian was so terrified


    that his expression changed. His pupils constricted. He was prepared to carry her and jump into the


    water to prevent her from hitting the control panel and hurting herself.


    However, just as he was about to wrap his arm around her waist, she turned sideways and gripped the


    controls tightly with both hands. She steered their speedboat and brushed past the oing


    speedboat. There was even the sound of friction along the hull.


    “Phew, that was close!” Annalise let out a shaky breath, still feeling frightened.


    Julian didn’t know whether tough or cry.


    He had almost peed his pants.


    He realized that she was his weakness.


    If he had been by himself, he had nothing to fear. Whether it was a head-on collision or a dive, he


    would not have panicked.


    But he was afraid that she would be hurt. His heart was in his mouth just now.


    He let out a long sigh of relief and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.


    “Did I scare you?” Annalise asked softly.


    “Yes,” Julian replied.


    Annalise said, “I wasn’t very familiar with the controls just now. Something bad almost happened. But


    I’ll be fine after practicing more.”


    “Okay,” Julian replied again and said gently, “Let’s slow down. Let’s take it slow.”


    “Okay.” Annalise agreed.


    But not long after, she went faster and faster, as if she was unstoppable.


    Julian reminded her softly, “Let’s slow down.”


    Annalise gradually slowed down.


    After doing a few moreps, she waspletely familiar with it. She wanted to do two moreps by


    herself, but Julian refused. “No, I have to be with you.”


    He realized that deep inside, she had a wild spirit. If he had not reminded her, she would have sped up.


    It would have felt like they were soaring across thousands of miles, flying through the skies.


    “Alright.” Annalise smiled helplessly. She had just wanted to truly let go for a moment, but now she had


    someone who cared about her.


    They yed around for more than two hours. Annalise waspletely drenched, either from the sea or


    from


    sweat.


    She was so excited that her face was flushed.


    They did not know if the photographer had been following them or not. They were only immersed in the


    fun, ying around on the speedboat.


    “Hurry up and change your clothes. Don’t catch a cold,” Julian said.


    Annalise saw that she was soaked through and remembered that she did not bring any change.


    Julian smiled. “I got someone to arrange that.”


    He held her hand and sent her to the female guest area. At the door, someone respectfully handed her


    the clothes “Hello, Madam. Sir asked me to prepare these clothes for you.”


    “Thank you!” Annalise immediately took the clothes. She went in to shower and change.


    Julian was done very quickly. Then, he came to the entrance of the female guest area and waited for


    Annalise.


    As soon as Annalise came out, Julian took her hand, hugged her, and kissed her face.


    Annalise smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.


    The photographer happened to capture this moment and was very pleased with himself.


    The other photographer also happened to capture this scene.


    Soon, Alexander received the photo.

    He looked at the photo and narrowed his eyes. “They’re still being lovey-dovey?”


    Suddenly, he looked up at Abigail. “Did you send that photo to Annalise?”


    “Yeah, I did. Look!” Abigail immediately showed Alexander her text messages.


    Alexander narrowed his eyes. The message was sent through. Logically speaking, Annalise should


    have seen the photo.


    Was she not suspicious when she saw it?


    Abigail immediately saw the photo on Alexander’s phone. She was furious. She and Alexander were


    together only in name, but Annalise and Julian were actually in love. She was the one who was


    supposed to marry Julian!


    The more Abigail thought about it, the more upset she felt. She said disdainfully, “She’stched onto


    Julian. Even if Lianne came between them, nothing would change that now.”
