The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0211

At once, Nicholas and I scrambled to our feet. Nicholas blocked Julian’s view as I readjusted myself, fixing my bra. When I was put together enough, Nicholas checked me over once before standing aside.

Out lips were red from kissing. Our clothes were wrinkled, and our hair disheveled. But there was nothing to be done for that now.

Julian looked between us, a devilish look in his eyes. “Did you find anything of interest in the closet?”

I blushed fiercely. Even my neck and chest burned.

I’m also curious why your lips are so red,” Julian continued. His teasing, it seemed, would be relentless. Yet under those joking questions, his voice held the tiniest bit of edge.

My initial thought was that it could be jealousy. With Julian, however, there was no way. Disapproval, then? That seemed unlikely too. 4

Either way, I needed to redirect his focus before I died of embarrassment.

I searched for some way to change the subject. I found it when I noticed the rolled up papers Julian was

carrying under his arm.

“What’s that?” I asked.

Julian glanced down at the papers as if he had forgotten he was holding them. “Should we return to

“Jane,” I said.

“How did you find out that Charlotte saw her?” Nicholas asked. He looked at Mark. “Did you tell him?”

“No, Sir,” Mark said at once.

Julian rolled his eyes. “I have ears everywhere.” He paused. “Also, Brian saw her too.”

“What?” We all straightened in alarm.

“Where did he see her?” Nicholas asked.

Julian replied. “He suspected her at once and subtly followed her. But when he seemed to have her cornered, she
