Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

He had investigated the Barton family when he came to Horington and had a rough understanding of the

Barton family.

Kent Barton was a heartless person. His sister had entrusted the company and her daughter to him, but

he had only taken over the company and abandoned Annalise in a village.

His wife, Bethany Langdon, was not a kind woman either.

While Abigail had a good upbringing and was considered more talented than her peers, she harbored

evil Intentions and had a terrible personality.

Only Annalise was different from the rest of the Barton family.

Even though she grew up in a village and had never received a formal education, she would volunteer at

the orphanage once every month.

On the days she volunteered, she would educate the children in singing and reading as well as some

basic greetings in Ustranasion.

Julian had seen the video of her teaching the children. She treated them with affection and was fluent in

Ustranasion.

He would never believe it if someone told him that Annalise was uncultured.

Besides volunteering at the orphanage monthly, she would donate to the orphanage and retirement

house in the form of things.

Each time she did, the number of things she donated had to be delivered by a truck.

Most of them were essential items the orphanage and houses lacked, such as books for the children and

entertainment facilities, seasonal change of clothes, and summer and winter blankets for the elderly..

All these things she provided needed a lot of money.

Julian had also found out that Annalise had been donating since she was 13 years old. At that time, Kent

had not brought Annalise back from the village. He did not give her a single cent while she was there too.

This proved that Annalise had her source of income despite hailing from a village.

The fact that she had a source of income at the age of 15, Julian concluded that someone must be

helping her behind the scenes.

However, he could not uncover that person’s identity, so the mysterious person must have a significant

background.

In regards to their marriage, Julian did not make the decision to marry her solely because of what he had

learned about her and her kind heart. It was because she had standards. Even if she had to suffer from

her decision, she would not hesitate to leave behind an unworthy man.

“Not exactly. I’m just average. When I was a kid, I learned a little from a barefoot doctor in the village,”

Annalise answered.

“Does the barefoot doctor know a lot and can treat any illness?” Julian asked with a smile.

Annalise smiled as well and raised an eyebrow. “Of course. The village doctor doesn’t have a specialty

and treats everything.”

“So, are you saying that you’re an all-around doctor?” Julian chuckled.

His mood had significantly improved when he saw her mischievous expression.

If it had been in the past, he would not have calmed down so soon after getting into an argument with his

father. Each time he did, he had had to sleep for a long time to get over it.

Julian had been telling himself to ignore that heartless man, yet he could not help but feel hurt

sometimes.

“I don’t have a doctor’s license. It’s just some tricks I learned from the village doctor. If I saw it before,

then I have the know-how; but if not, then I don’t,” she said.

“Besides medicine, what else do you know?” Julian asked curiously.

“Does playing with cats and dogs count?” She knew Julian was not in a good mood, so she flashed him

at smile while driving.

The smile on her face warmed Julian’s heart. He returned the smile. “Try it.”

“Forget it. You’re neither a cat nor a dog. I’ll just imitate a rooster’s crow.” With, she began crowing as a

rooster would.

Her imitation was perfect and no different from a real rooster.

Julian could not stifle his laughter. Wearing a smile on his lips, he turned to look out the window and felt

that the scenery had just become more beautiful.

“I think your dad cares for you, but he’s showing it the wrong way. If there’s a misunderstanding, you can

try communicating with each other,” Annalise suggested. “It’s also fate that you guys can be father and

son.”

In her heart, she believed that all kinds of meeting in life were fated to be and should be cherished.

The reason Julian’s father despised her probably stemmed from his love for Julian too.

Julian’s smile faded away, and he said, “It’s not a misunderstanding. The mean things he told me aren’t

because he cares for me. He just thinks I’ve embarrassed him by marrying you. The only thing he cares

about is his image and reputation, not me.”

“Is that so?” Annalise thought and fell silent.

As if a dam had broken, he continued, “Once upon a time, I had a happy and harmonious family too. He

was the one who ruined it by bringing his mistress and Alexander back, causing my mother to end her

own life. After Mom passed away, his mistress moved into the main residence, and Alexander took my

room.”

He paused briefly, then added, “No matter how much I complained, he would always tell me that I should

give. in to my younger brother.”

What he did not say out loud but only in his mind was, “I don’t know if I would ever get past my trauma if

Grandpa had not brought me away.”

That was the last time he had cried in his life.

While listening to his story, Annalise felt bad for him and held his hand in hers.
