Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 16 Why Don’t We Try Dating?

After leaving the hotel, Julian grumbled, “Too busy to go to the movies with me, but free enough to meet a scumbag?”

Annalise tried to explain, saying, “No, it’s not like that. I’m here to accompany Samantha for her blind date…” The moment she lifted her head, she caught sight of Julian’s look of distrust.

He fixed his eyes on her as if he was watching her spin her web of lies.

Unable to withstand the pressure from his stare, Annalise continued, “It’s true. Let me show you our chat history.”

Fishing out her phone, she quickly scrolled through the text but realized their chat history was gone after she blocked Samantha.

Although she could easily employ her hacking skills to recover their chat history, it was overkill to be utilizing them for such a trivial matter.

Therefore, she admitted, “I’ve blocked Samantha just now, so our chat history is gone.”

Julian remained silent and gazed at Annalise.

Annalise stressed, “It’s true!”

“I’d like to watch a movie. You come with me!”

Annalise sighed and agreed, “Fine. Let’s go, then.”

It was to thank him for defending her dignity, although she could have done it herself.

Smiling faintly, Julian reached out his hand and stroked Annalise’s head.

Warmth welled up in Annalise’s heart by such a sweet act from Julian.

After they had arrived at the movie theater, Julian told Annalise to wait for him. He then booked an entire hall and bought some popcorn, fried chicken, and Coke.

Once he was done, both of them entered the screening hall together.

Having observed Julian’s diligence in buttering her up for the past two days, Annalise presumed that he would select a romantic film. It completely caught her by surprise that he would pick a cartoon, which was her favorite.

This was because she was sent to her relative’s house in the countryside by her uncle when she was six. Growing up in an environment where she was constantly scolded and mistreated by her relatives, she didn’t even get to have a proper meal sometimes, let alone enjoy the luxury of watching television.
