Chapter 1420


    While evacuating, Vanessa had identally sprained her ankle. Julien picked her up and carried


    her on his back. She gently rubbed her face against his back and said, "Julien..."


    Julien was carrying her on his back but his footsteps were still as light as before. "I''m here. You''ll be


    fine."


    "That''s not what I''m going to say." Because their clothes were sodden, Vanessa felt that she was


    almost naked in front of him. But because it was him, not only did she not feel embarrassed, she


    even clung more tightly to him. "I don''t want you to only be my boyfriend anymore, I want you to


    marry me and be my husband. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."


    It was said that greed was the precipitating end of mankind. Vanessa thought she was a perfect


    example. In the past, she had decided to go after Julien because she thought that he was quite a


    decent guy, and she wanted him to be her boyfriend.


    The longer she dated him, the more she had realized his merits. Gradually, she was not satisfied


    with him being only her boyfriend. She wanted him to marry her. She wanted to enjoy the


    gentleness he had given her, and to be with him for the rest of her life.


    Upon hearing Vanessa''s words, Julien''s long legs stiffed. Then, he said, "You''re ady, you should


    act like ady."


    Vanessa pouted her lips. "But I can''t control myself in front of you."


    What Vanessa said was true. If she had not controlled herself, she would have pounced on him


    already. Julien really had no idea how much she had held herself back.


    Upon hearing Vanessa''s confession, despite the dire condition they were in, Julien still couldn''t help


    but smile. However, he didn''t answer her.


    When she did not receive his reply, and also could not see his expression, Vanessa thought that he


    was unwilling to marry her. At that instant, she felt an immense dejection, and uttered, "Julien, don''t


    you want to marry me? Don''t you want me to be your wife?"


    How could he not want it? From the day Julien started dating her, he had been thinking of marrying


    her. However, he had his own ns in regard to the proposal. He wanted to give her a surprise.


    Thus, instead of answering her directly, Julien tried to beat around the bush. "You should act more


    like ady. I hope that you won''t let me repeat this again."


    "Julien, given your background, why are you this conservative? Who said that girls can''t take the


    first step?" Vanessa raised her fist and punched Julien twice. She said aggrievedly, "Everyone has


    the right to pursue love. I like you. If I want to marry you, of course, I have to tell you. If I don''t tell


    you, what if someone else steals you away from me?"


    "That won''t happen!" Although Julien was on top of the world, he had only given her a simple


    answer.


    Julien didn''t give Vanessa a direct answer, which made her feel sad. "An outstanding man like you


    may not look for other girls, but you can''t stop them from throwing themselves on you."


    Julien replied, "I won''t let that happen!"


    Other than her, he would not allow any other women to throw themselves at him.


    Julien was still not answering her question, so Vanessa had no choice but to emphasise once again,


    "Julien, I like you. I really like you. I hope you can remember this. No matter what, you''re not


    allowed to break up with me, and you''re not allowed to fall in love with anyone else."


    Julien nodded. "Okay."


    Vanessa said, "Julien, why are you so slow? Do you not know that when I say that I like you, you


    should also say that you like me."


    He said, "Vanessa, I like you..."


    Vanessa finally heard his answer. She was extremely satisfied, so she said, "That''s right. You know,


    if you like someone, you must say it out loud. If you don''t say it, how can I know that you like me,


    right?"


    "Yes," Julien answered.


    In the next second, Julien halted in his tracks and put her down. Then, he made her lean against a


    thick tree and said, "Don''t you know what a guy would do if he likes a girl?"


    Vanessa was about to speak when Julien lowered his head out of a sudden and kissed her.


    Because they had been soaked in the rain for so long, their bodies were all wet. His lips were cold,


    but when their lips met, their body temperatures began to rise.


    This was not the first time Julien had kissed her, but Vanessa felt that he was kissing more


    passionately than any of the times he had kissed her in the past. He was tasting each and every


    inch of her beauty with his gentle and asionally overbearing lips.


    The past between the two of them was so sweet and beautiful. It was not a dream that she had


    made up. She was so immersed in their past that she was not willing to wake up from it...


    The kiss was overbearing and passionate. It was so real that it felt like it was not just a dream,


    making Vanessa struggle.


    She opened her eyes slowly and saw that someone was kissing her. This person was not someone


    else, but Julien. She reached out her hand and touched his face. She asked uncertainly, "Ju...


    Julien?"This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Was it really him?


    Was it a dream or reality?


    Vanessa was a little confused. Ever since they had started this ambiguous rtionship, Julien never


    wanted to kiss her again.


    Every time he made love with her, he was rough and overbearing. He would always go straight to


    the point and he would only care if he felt good himself. He had never cared about her experience


    at all.


    Now that he was kissing her, Vanessa thought that it must be a dream.


    The kiss was still going on. It went from Vanessa''s cheek and all the way down. It was hot and


    intense...


    Since it was a dream, Vanessa did not want to suppress her feelings anymore. She held his head


    and kissed him back. Then she said,


    "Julien, I really really like you..."


    She had always liked him, but she knew that she was no longer in ce to say that to him... But


    since it was just a dream, Vanessa thought that she could just express herself. She thought that he


    would not find out anyway.


    "Julien!" When Vanessa called his name, she reached out and touched his face. He really existed,


    and she could even feel his warmth. She spread her arms and hugged him tightly. Once again, she


    confessed to him, "I really like you!"


    When Julien heard her saying that she liked him, he immediately stopped kissing her. There was no


    joy on his face at all. Instead, his face was extremely glum. He squinted his eyes and looked at this


    delirious woman.


    In the past year, Vanessa did say that she liked him, and she did take the initiative to hug him.


    However, it was never from the bottom of her heart. Julien could tell that she had other intentions for


    doing so.


    She was just trying to please him, so that she could get more money from him.


    However, Julien could feel that she was somewhat different that night... Or, it could just be another


    show that she was putting on. She wanted to make him think that she really liked him, so that he


    would obediently give her all the money she wanted.
