Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 189 Throwing A Curveball

Gwen guessed that Annalise might ask her to remove her makeup, but she would not do as Annalise wanted.

If Annalise wanted Gwen to remove her makeup, she would have to raise the stakes and bet on the entire future of traditional medicine. Annalise would not have such courage.

Even if Annalise did, would the other traditional medicine practitioners on her team allow her to mess around?

With this thought in mind, Gwen calmed down even more.

“Good morning, Ms. Raven. You look quite energetic today,” Annalise said with a smile.

Annalise noticed her heavy makeup. She did not doubt that Gwen’s face had a breakout.

Gwen and Annalise were talking face to face. Many people’s eyes were twinkling, gossiping among themselves. It was time to sit back and watch the show.

“Yeah, I’m in good spirits because I’m happy. Ms. Barton, you know why I’m so happy, don’t you?” Gwen smiled confidently.

“Ms. Raven, your makeup is so thick. Is it because your under-eye circles were too dark? Did you not sleep well last night?” Annalise asked curiously.

She said nothing about acne.

Yesterday, Annalise could already tell that Gwen was going to get pimples.

Typically, acne would not happen overnight just because one was frustrated. It would happen after one bottled up their emotions for a few days. Also, endocrine imbalances would cause one to be prone to acne. Yesterday, when Annalise saw Gwen’s dark circles, bloodshot eyes, and fatigued expression, she knew that Gwen had been suffering from insomnia and was about to develop acne.

To make Gwen’s face break out, Annalise deliberately said those words to deceive Gwen so that she could not sleep.

“No, I slept very well last night. I even had sweet dreams,” Gwen said with a smile.

“Let’s sit down and talk,” Annalise said.

“Ms. Barton, are you trying to stall for time? Why don’t you propose a time to end the bet? Because we had not agreed on the time yesterday, I thought that the time we met in the morning was when the bet would end,” Gwen spoke demurely.
