Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 23 Julian Is Jealous

A surge of warmth spread within Annalise as she said, ‘Ms. Tuffin, it’s me who doesn’t want him.”

She was clearly upset when she spoke of Benjamin, but after seeing how her mentor was so concerned about her, she suddenly thought that Benjamin was not worth mentioning.

When Madeline Tuffin, Annalise’s fifth mentor, heard that it was Annalise who dumped Benjamin, she showed her protective side, asking, “Is it because you saw the weakness that he had been hiding when you two were dating? You did the right thing. When it comes to men, we should go by the principle of quality over quantity. You must have high standards. Break up if you think you two are not suitable to be with each other. You don’t have to hesitate in breaking up with men who make you feel uncomfortable. End the relationship. immediately. You’re still young and are not in a rush to find a partner. I will help you search for a man after at few years, and I promise to find you the right man who deserves you.”

“All of you will still think I’m young even after a few years.” Annalise suddenly burst out laughing joyfully.

“No. If you are still single when you are 30, we, as your mentors, will wish for you to get out of our sight.” Annalise roared with laughter again.

“I will go with you to the charity dinner tomorrow night. Buy anything you like, and we shall shop till we drop,” said Madeline.

“That bastard Benjamin will be there too. I will buy everything he likes so he can’t have any of them. How dare he mistreat Annalise! He should take a closer look at who is backing her up,” she thought.

“Sure,” Annalise agreed.

“I will wait for you at eight o’clock sharp at the entrance of Hamilton Hotel tomorrow night.”

“Sure, Ms. Tuffin.”

“You’re so heartless. If I hadn’t called you, you wouldn’t even think about calling me, would you? How could you not tell me about your breakup?” Madeline grumbled.

Knowing that Madeline was concerned about her, Annalise said, “It’s not what you think, Ms. Tuffin. I planned. to go back and tell you guys in person.”

“All right, I was messing with you. Remember that you’re like our own daughter in our hearts. No parents in this world can stand someone mistreating their daughters, and the same goes for us. We may not be powerful, but we still have the ability to protect you. The reason we asked you to keep a low profile and stay low is for your own protection. We don’t create trouble, but when trouble comes, we’re not afraid to face it.”

“I get it, Ms. Tuffin,” said Annalise, who felt touched and whose eyes reddened.

Knowing how Annalise was feeling, Madeline said, “All right, I will stop nagging you. See you tomorrow night.” She then hung up the phone.

Right then, Annalise received a message from Julian that read: “I’m sorry. I overslept. Where are you? Have you eaten?”
