Chapter 14 She’ll Be Here

“All right,” Annalise replied. Julian’s gentle tone rendered her happy to agree to his request.

She felt him holding her hand, and she tried to pull away, but his grip tightened.

Thus, she had no choice but to come up with an excuse. “Mr. Parks… Julian, it’s getting late, so I have to head home. I’ll come over tomorrow to send your grandfather off with you.”

Julian heard Annalise pause and address him by his name, and he was elated. Unable to control his excitement, he pulled her into his arms and looked down at her, his eyes glimmering. “What did you just call me?”

“Julian Parks!” Annalise exclaimed, startled by Julian’s sudden actions. Her heart fluttered.

Their current posture was quite intimate..

Plus, they were under the street light, and the faint yellow glow of the street light created a hazy atmosphere, which made Annalise feel overwhelmed.

There was a hint of earnestness and enchantment in Julian’s deep and magnetic voice as he said, “Lose the ‘Parks’ part.”

Annalise’s ears became red as she suddenly realized how good Julian was at flirting.

“He’s even better at flirting than Benjamin. He’s already flirting with me after we have only known each other. for two days! I wonder how many girls he had flirted with before? So that’s why he had to pretend to be married to fend off his pursuers,” Annalise thought as she instantly came to her senses.

She pushed him away and forcibly pulled her hand away from his grip.

Julian was startled, but he eventually came to a realization.

“This is normal. She has just gone through a breakup, and she was betrayed, so it’s difficult for her to trust someone else. I’m too impatient,” he thought to himself.

“I’m going home!” Annalise snapped.

“Let me drive you home,” Julian offered.

“It’s fine. I’ll just call myself a cab.”

“You’re a woman. It’s not safe for you to hail a cab alone at night,” Julian insisted.

Annalise suddenly recalled what Benjamin had said to her before. “Anna, you’re a woman. You shouldn’t go. out at night because it’s not safe.”

“So, Benjamin and Julian are the same! They are both great at caring for women and flirting. Ah, whatever! They are both liars anyway,” she thought to herself.
