Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

His superior capabilities won him the support of many members of the Parks family.

Now, he had already gathered a large number of supporters within the Parks family.

Although Samuel indeed favored Julian over him, Alexander believed that as long as he did his best and

worked hard, he might still have the chance to inherit the Parks Group in the future.

Marrying Abigail was also a part of his plan.

If Julian married the daughter of a prestigious family in Jadeborough, Alexander would have to worry

about Julian consolidating his power and status with his marriage.

However, Julian only married an incompetent girl who grew up in the countryside. Thus, all Alexander

had to do was simply marry Abigail. Abigail would be his trump card to defeat his elder brother.

To him, it was most satisfying to see two sisters trying to crush each other. This was also the easiest way

for him to earn even more supporters.

“Grandpa!” Seeing how Samuel didn’t respond for a long while, Alexander pleaded with him again..

“Alexander, marriage isn’t child’s play. You shouldn’t act rashly,” Samuel lectured him solemnly.

Of course, Samuel was well aware that Alexander just wanted to prove his worth.

Nonetheless, the last thing that he wanted to see was the two brothers competing against each other.

Thus, he constantly tried to resolve some of the conflicts that existed between the two of them.

However, it seemed as if these conflicts were natural, and there was nothing that he could do to

neutralize them.

“Grandpa, I really like Abigail!” Alexander exclaimed.

“Alexander, I just want you to be happy,” Samuel responded.

“If I marry Abigail, I’m sure that I’ll be happy,” Alexander insisted.

“Alexander, you’re already 25 this year. You should take charge of your own marriage. I’m old, and I can’t

control this anymore.” Samuel heaved a long sigh.

Elders should let the young decide for themselves. However, elders also wanted their descendants to

lead blissful lives.

In fact, there had been an old rule in the Parks family which stated that illegitimate children were not

allowed to be part of the clan.

However, Samuel couldn’t bring himself to rule Alexander out when he saw how scrawny and weak the

boy was back then.

The child was innocent.

The ones in the wrong were adults who couldn’t stay faithful.

“Thank you, Grandpa!” Upon obtaining Samuel’s approval, Alexander was delighted and thanked him.

immediately.

Meanwhile, the streets were illuminated by neon lights outside,

Julian walked along the streets with Annalise.

The two of them strolled along the pavement by the hotel side by side and chatted along the way.

Annalise handed the bracelet and bank card over to Julian and said, “You can have these back.” “You

can hold onto them first,” Julian replied.

“They’re too valuable. If they end up being destroyed, I won’t be able to compensate for them.”

“You don’t have to compensate for them.” Julian chuckled.

Seeing how warmly Julian was smiling, Annalise was also influenced by his joy. “You sure are generous.

Then can I sell them as well?” she asked jokingly.

“Of course. You can do whatever you like with your gifts.”

“Are you sure that you won’t regret your words?” Annalise asked with a smile.

“Yeah.” Julian grinned as he raised his brow at her.

“Watch out!”

All of a sudden, a motorcycle zoomed past Annalise. Julian instantly reached out and pulled Annalise

toward

himself.

Due to the motion, the bracelet flew from Annalise’s hands.

Annalise felt as if her heart was going to leap out of her throat in fear. She lunged forward to catch the

bracelet.

At the same time, Julian also lunged forward with Annalise.

In the end, Julian fell to the ground. Annalise fell on top of him and caught the bracelet.

Julian, who lay on the ground beneath Annalise, turned his head sideways and joked, “Quick reaction

you have there.”

Clutching onto the bracelet, Annalise still felt her heart palpitating from the shock.

She thought she was for sure going to lose the bracelet.

That bracelet was priceless.

Although she would be able to compensate for it in cash, she couldn’t compensate for the

commemorative significance that it held.

“How long do you intend to lie on me? The ground is hurting my back,” Julian teased.

“Um…” Annalise lowered her head and saw the intimate position that they were in. Her ears turned red

and she stood up awkwardly.

“Thank god the bracelet isn’t broken.”

On the other hand, Julian said, “Thank goodness you’re all right.”

Although it was a simple sentence, it was enough to make Annalise’s heart flutter.

She couldn’t believe that he would say that he was relieved that she was all right.

To an extent, the thing that he rushed to protect wasn’t the bracelet, but it was her instead.

After Annalise had been in a relationship with Benjamin for a year, he ended up cheating on her.

But now, she had only known Julian for two days, and he was already willing to give up his family’s

heirloom bracelet for her.

They were both men, but there was such a stark difference between them.

This left Annalise slightly stunned.

Julian gazed at Annalise and looked at her lips, which were slightly parted. He suddenly leaned in.
