Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Engrossed in the cartoon, Annalise was watching it with relish while the corners of her lips curled up with

her eyes sparkling.

Julian could not help smiling at the sight of Annalise.

While she enjoyed the film, he was gazing at her while feeding her snacks from time to time.

Annalise would open her mouth to eat the popcorn that Julian fed her.

When the movie ended, she asked in dissatisfaction, “That’s all?”

“We’d continue tomorrow night!” Grinning, Julian continued feeding Annalise popcorn. Embarrassed,

Annalise stretched out her hand and demanded, “I’ll do it myself!”

Julian laughed. “You’ve already eaten half the bucket of popcorn.”

Annalise suddenly recalled that she was being fed while enjoying the movie just now.

Having her full attention on the film, she thought it was Madeline who had been feeding her.

She had grown accustomed to it as Madeline had always fed her food while they watched movies

together occasionally. The latter would always mention that she wanted Annalise to grow healthy and

chubby.

“Let’s go.” Julian stretched his hand out to Annalise..

Reluctant to give him her hand, Annalise hesitated briefly.

Julian’s gaze darkened as he suggested, “I’ve not been in love before, and you happen to be single as

well. Why don’t we try dating? It might work out. If it indeed works out, then we don’t have to file for

divorce anymore. Well, everyone is trying to find the right one among millions of people for themselves in

life. Of course, I’ll respect your decision. Once we hit the three-month mark, we shall divorce if you still

find me unsuitable. Come on!”

Annalise met Julian’s brooding eyes and placed her hand in his after some slight hesitation..

She mused to herself, “Fine. It’s not like it’d do me any harm by holding his hand. I shall just cooperate

with him. It doesn’t matter anyway, since three months will fly by quickly. It took me more than three

months to move on from Benjamin, so it’s impossible for me to fall in love with a different man.”

However, she liked what Julian just said, where he mentioned that everyone was trying to find the right

one among millions of people for themselves in life.

Meanwhile, after Julian had taken Annalise away, Benjamin was boiling with rage at the Moon Hall of

Hamilton Hotel.

He began hurling things on the ground, smashing the red wine and cutlery prepared for the candlelight

dinner, and kicking the snow-making machine. He then fumed, “Damn it! This is ridiculous!”

He had never experienced such humiliation in the past 25 years of his life.

Samantha advised, “Benjamin, don’t be upset about it. Anna is so deeply in love with you. There’s no

way she’s someone’s wife. She must have found a stranger to put on an act to infuriate you. Isn’t there a

charity gala in a few days? I’m sure she’d be touched if you buy something at the auction as a gift for

her.”

Upon hearing that, a glint flashed across Benjamin’s eyes.

In the meantime, Abigail changed the mealtime to evening.

She planned on seducing Alexander and acting coquettishly to invite the Parks brothers to the Barton

residence. Moreover, she would make sure Alexander brought Julian with him. That way, she would have

the opportunity to cement her relationship with Julian.

When Abigail arrived at the restaurant, Alexander was already there, waving at her.

Clad in a sky-blue maxi dress, Abigail strode toward Alexander in her high heels.

She had designed the outfit herself, where the slim fit accentuated her alluring figure.

When she noticed that Alexander was gawking at her appearance, satisfaction grew in her.

Abigail then did her usual trick. “Mr. Alexander, I’m sorry for being late.”

“No worries. You’re punctual, and I’ve only arrived not long ago.”

Grinning, Alexander gazed at Abigail as he thought, “Abigail dresses so well. Just the way she dresses

alone is way better than Annalise. In Jadeborough, Annalise is going to become a laughingstock.”

Abigail inquired, “Mr. Alexander, how long will you guys be staying at Horington?”

“I’m not sure about that. Abigail, are we friends?” Alexander asked suddenly.

“Of course we are.”

“Then stop calling me Mr. Alexander. It sounds strange. Just call me Alexander.”

Abigail responded gracefully, “My pleasure. Alexander, is there a reason why you’ve asked to meet me

today? Feel free to speak your mind.”

With that, Alexander had a better impression of Abigail.

However, he did not have a crush on her. He simply thought that those were all her merits, and he

believed that the more merits she had, the better chance she would have of defeating Annalise.

Letting out a laugh, Alexander added, “There’s indeed something special. But I shall keep you in

suspense for now; I’ll share it with you once we’re done eating.”

Well aware of how realistic Abigail was, he must try to display his status in the Parks family discreetly in

order to leave a good impression on her before he revealed his plan.

Abigail answered with a smile, “What is it? You’re making me curious by saying that.”

In fact, she was not in a rush at all. She was planning to get along with Alexander and invite him and hist

brother to the Barton residence after they were done eating. After that, she would act flirtatiously while.

emphasizing that they must all be there.

“Let’s dig in. The food shall be served soon.” The corners of Alexander’s lips curled up.

“Sure.”

They ate while having a casual chat.

Alexander shared with Abigail that he held his grandpa in high regard and that his grandpa was also fond

of him.

Upon learning that Alexander’s grandpa was fond of him, Abigail became interested.

Previously, she had heard that Alexander was favored in the Parks family, so she leaned forward,

pretending like she was interested in listening to him..

Alexander then divulged that his grandpa had paved the path for him by making him start work from the

bottom, so everyone would acknowledge his capability.

However, he was currently the general manager of a subsidiary company owned by Parks Group.

Abigail could not refrain from asking. “Then what about your brother, Julian?”
