Chapter 23

Soon, Christmas arrived, and it was nothing like the Christmas I was used to. This time, it was full of love, happy moments and warmness, Rose Kensington took that holiday pretty seriously and the decorations she had all over the house were breathtaking. A week before Truth was, I wanted to spend Christmas with them at their place, because I considered Julian's family my new family. I was always happy among them and not once had I not felt welcome.

"It's your turn" Julian got on the floor beside me since I was playing with Violet, Julian's niece. He dragged a huge box towards us, making my eyes go wide. I told him not to spend a lot of money on me, but I had a feeling that he did not listen. What did my crazy husband get me?

I shook my head and quickly latched my arms around his neck. He wrapped me in his embrace and kissed my cheek as he buried his face in my neck "You deserve the best, sunshine," he whispered. I wasn't sure when he started calling me that nickname, but I loved it, ju "Thank you. I'm so lucky to have you, I mumbled as I slowly pulled away, looking at his handsome face. I had never imagined myself falling for Julian, but it happened and despite our bad beginning, I loved how our relationship was. He placed one hand over my cheek and leaned in to give me a quick peck on my lips since we were among our family. That had been by far the best Christmas I had ever had since I was ten years old.

"The thing is, we still don't know what he got you," Harper commented, making me laugh.

"Sorry." 1 blushed. "He got me the latest sewing inachine. I have had my eyes on this sewing machine for long, but it's very expensive, so I have been saving to get it and he got it for me," I said, looking at her.

"I'm sorry, what?" Steven frowned looking at me "Saving to get it Sweetheart, you can buy whatever you want. Julian, you didn't give Emily access to your credit card?"
