Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

“If he’s really pure-hearted, he probably won’t.” Annalise wasn’t sure either. Julian said, “Once, Grandpa asked us to watch a documentary about Jenocia’s invasion of Chanaea. Jenocia people were heartless and inhumane. They bullied people and killed everyone they saw. They turned children into specimens and made human brains into pipe tobacco. When they slaughtered the village, they just wanted to see who killed more people…” “Alexander will never forget the national humiliation!” Annalise reached out and held Julian’s hand. He was so angry that he was losing control of his emotions. The disappointment permeated him. Julian returned to his senses and nodded when he heard Alexander would not forget the national humiliation from Annalise. After thinking about it, he told Annalise, “Annie, I want to go to the Parks residence. Annalise looked up at Julian and said gently. “Go ahead.” “I might be back a little late,” Julian said. “If it’s too late, it’s the same for you to stay there for a night,” Annalise said. “I’m worried about you and will be back no matter how late it is.” Julian reached out and touched Annalise’s stomach. It had been more than six months. If he didn’t touch Annalise’s stomach daily, he wouldn’t be able to sleep. Annalise smiled. “It’s still early. I’m a doctor myself. You don’t have to worry about me. If anything happens, Dad and Mom are here. My brother also lives nearby.” “Well, I’ll be back,” said Julian, gently hugging Annalise for fear of crushing her stomach. “Tell the driver to drive slowly and be careful,” Annalise instructed. “Okay,” Julian replied gently. Julian arrived at the Parks residence in the afternoon. He dined with his grandpa in the evening. He planned to look for Alexander after dinner. Unexpectedly, Alexander came over at dinnertime. He also came over to eat with Grandpa. The two brothers glanced at each other in silence. Grandpa looked at his two grandsons and said, “There’s still a month to go. You both have to work hard.” Julian and Alexander both said they would work hard. After that, there was silence again. After dinner, the two brothers put down their chopsticks simultaneously and spoke almost at the same time. “I need to talk to you,” said Julian. “Julian, are you available?” said Alexander. “The study!” said Julian with a grim expression. Then he went straight upstairs. Alexander followed him. He followed behind Julian as he had done before he was thirteen and felt like a sidekick again. He couldn’t help but smile. When they reached the study, Julian glanced coldly at Alexander and asked, “What do you want?” “Julian, you know?” Alexander asked. Julian stared at Alexander with a serious look as if asking him what he meant by calling him Julian. “Duncan has come looking for me a few times,” Alexander said. Upon hearing the word Duncan, Julian could not suppress his anger. “So? Showing off your ability to me?” Seeing that his brother was angry, Alexander was not upset. Instead, he was happy. A person would not be angry with people and things he didn’t care about He said, “Duncan said his target is the East Arising International Group.” “Should I thank you for telling me?” Julian asked again. “But I feel that his target is not only the East Arising International Group but also the market in Chanaea,” Alexander analyzed. Julian completely exploded. He scolded, “Alexander, you can use any means and work with anyone if you want to compete with the Parks Group. But you work with Jenocia people. Don’t you even care about the most basic decency? Have you abandoned even the most basic of the national complex? “Whether others worship foreigners or invaders from other countries, that’s other people’s business. As a number of the Parks family, you grew up watching documentaries. If you can forget about the country, will you forget you’re the Parks family’s descendant in the future?” “Julian, I didn’t forget!” Alexander was so moved by Julian’s scolding that his eyes turned a little red. That’s right. Julian had always been teaching him how to be a decent person. He had overlooked him. Julian had always treated him as the Parks family’s descendant. He had misunderstood him. “You didn’t forget it but ran off to work with Duncan, did you?” Julian was pissed off. His anger stemmed from his disappointment. “Julian, do you trust me?” Alexander looked at Julian. It was the first time that he looked at Julian sincerely since he was 13 years. old. Julian frowned at Alexander. Alexander said, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Timothy competes with you. I might help him. But when Duncan competes with you, I will definitely stand on your side!” Julian was a little confused. He stared at Alexander. Alexander’s eyes were magnanimous. “When I was six years old, I followed my mother to the Parks residence,” said Alexander. “I feel sorry for you.” Julian scolded, “Why are you talking about that nonsense?” He didn’t want to recall his childhood, much less that vicious woman Layla. Alexander continued, “I’ve wanted to be your good brother…” Julian interrupted, “Do you think it’s possible? Tell me, how can you be brothers with the son of your enemy who harmed your mother?” Instead of getting angry, Alexander added, “I follow you around every day and call you brother. Then you finally talked to me, and I was so happy. When I was 13 years old, I returned from playing basketball outside. You didn’t let me drink water and said the fridge was yours. I was hurt by your words and didn’t want to call you brother anymore. “In the following days, I worked hard to compete with you. I hated your superiority, selfishness, and dominance. “But I understand now. You don’t let me drink water because you care about me. Julian, I won’t fight with you anymore. “I never wanted to fight with you. “Everything in the Parks family should be yours. All my struggles were just to vent my anger. In the end, I was the one who vented my anger.” Tears welled up in Alexander’s eyes. Julian’s heart was in turmoil. It turned out he just figured it out now, didn’t he? Alexander continued, “I’m from Chanaea and grew up watching documentaries with Grandpa. I have courage, ideals, and ambitions. In fact, what I wanted to do the most was to be a soldier when I was little. I wanted to enter a military school to be a soldier defending my country. Julian’s heart trembled. He remembered that Alexander had indeed been obsessed with officers for a period of time. He often watched military-themed movies and television, and there were some officer posters in his room. It turned out that it was a misunderstanding that made him choose business. Alexander added, “Since Duncan wants to deal with the East Arising International Group and take over Chanaea’s market, we’ll beat him at his own game. I’ll go to Duncan’s side and dig up his background. At that time, you can counterattack the Nevada Corporation.” “No, I don’t need your help!” Julian walked out. There was too much information at the moment. He needed time to accept it. Behind him, Alexander’s voice sounded. “Julian, are you afraid that I’ll be in danger? I’ll protect myself.” Julian stopped and did not turn around. Instead, he said coldly, “Don’t be delusional. Stay away from Duncan!”
