Afraid of embarrassment, Annalise immediately yawned and said, “I’m so sleepy. I’ll sleep first. Good night!” She quickly jumped onto the bed and rolled to the left side, curling into a ball.

Julian wanted to laugh at that scene and thought, “Is she that afraid of me?”

Initially, his mind was filled with thoughts of being intimate. He was excited as he thought he could get closer to Annalise.

Now that he saw her guarded look, he suddenly wanted to laugh. It was as if his entire body was secreting dopamine. She was really adorable!

He couldn’t help but curled his lips.

No big deal, he could hold himself back!

But he could not tolerate silence.

He moved closer to Annalise from behind and asked in a bewitching yet gentle tone, “Are you already tired?”

He was no longer thinking about inappropriate things. He just wanted to talk to her.

“Yes, I’m so sleepy. Go to sleep. Good night.” Afraid that Julian would not believe her, Annalise even faked a yawn.

Julian’s heartbeat accelerated again, and he exclaimed inwardly, “How is she so cute?”

He smiled and couldn’t help but reach out to caress her hair.

Her hair had just been shampooed and blown dry. It was soft and had the fragrance of shampoo. It smelled especially good.

He couldn’t help but leaned over and sniffed it.

Annalise was instantly alarmed!

“What was he trying to do?” She exclaimed in her mind.

If he tried to get more intimate with her, should she resist and fight back?

After hesitating for a moment, she frowned slightly. She must fight him. At most, be careful to avoid his vital points.

But after he sniffed her hair, he sat up and leaned against the headboard. He placed his hand on her hair and gently stroked it. He said in a soft voice, “Your hair smells so good and it’s very smooth to the touch.”

Annalise lay speechless.

So, she misunderstood him?

She pretended to be sleepy again, yawned, and answered, “Yes.”

Her sleepy tone made Julian’s tone even gentler. He stroked her hair again and said, “Go to sleep.”

He actually still wanted to talk. There were so many things he wanted to tell her. He wanted to comment that her handwriting was really beautiful and ask her how long had she been practicing.

He wanted to ask her how many more secrets she had that he did not know.

They had only known each other for half a month, but Annalise had already surprised him too many times.

At first, he admired her because she broke up with the scumbag cleanly. Her firm gaze made him feel that they were the same kind

Therefore, he decided to take a gamble!

Unexpectedly, she kept surprising him along the way.

At that time, he thought that Annalise had a strong personality and could distinguish right from wrong. Just based on those two points, she would make a good wife. It did not matter whether she was capable of other things.

Then, he found out that she actually knew medicine.

He was overjoyed when he saw her help with Samual’s choked phlegm. She was skilled and solved the

problem in no time.

After that, he fell into the Barton family’s trap. Annalise’s superb silver needle skills suppressed all the heat in his body in just a few minutes. He was even more certain that her medical skills were not simple, and he was further amazed.

He thought her medical skills were already the most she could do since she was just a twenty-year-old girl. After all, medical skills required a lot of time and effort to learn and accumulate.

He then realized at the auction that she was actually very insightful about painting and calligraphy. That made him even more surprised. He was overjoyed as if he just dug up a treasure.

After that, he witnessed her refining elixir pills.

Almost no one in the entire Chanaea could master such a skill, yet she managed at the age of twenty.

He could no longer describe his shock and excitement with words.

Her nonchalant and calm expression fascinated him even more.

Outstanding youths always tended to be more arrogant but she was so calm she did not appear like a 20-year-old girl at all.

When she said that they were going to write a couplet, he thought that her handwriting would be flowy because her personality was not edgy, and she would never actively provoke others.

Unexpectedly, her handwriting was exactly like his.

The moment he saw the entire couplet, he felt his heart beating non-stop.

He was very sure that his feelings for her had long elevated from admiration to fondness. Moreover, his feelings for her grew every day.

That kind of fondness started from liking her personality.

His hand gently patted her back, coaxing her to sleep.

Annalise felt Julian patting her back. At first, she felt a little uncomfortable. Then, she gradually became sleepy. Eventually, she fell asleep.

It was probably because she was too tense at the banquet for the past few hours. No matter how calm and composed she looked, she was still highly focused.

She was afraid that someone would step on her skirt or trip her. She was afraid that someone would set her up.

She was constantly on guard.

After a few hours, she truly grew exhausted.

The moment she was relaxed, she quickly fell asleep.

Seeing that Annalise was fast asleep, Julian smiled gently and shrank his body. He leaned down and kissed her hair, then reached out, gently hugged Annalise from behind, and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

On the other hand.

After the banquet ended, everyone dispersed.

Albert’s family and Christopher’s family stayed overnight at the Park’s residence.

They each owned a large residence.

Albert had two sons and three daughters. Although one son died before reaching adulthood, the family was still extremely prosperous.

Albert’s living son had three more sons. In other words, Albert had a son and three grandsons; Timothy Parks, Robert Parks, as well as Jackson Parks.

The three grandsons were all working in Parks Group. Amongst them, Timothy, the oldest grandson, was more outstanding. In addition to his stakes, he married Jasmine Xander, the daughter of the Xander family, the second most wealthy in Jadeborough.

His two younger brothers were not yet married, and both of them worked alongside their eldest brother, Timothy

Of Albert’s three daughters who had gotten married, the youngest daughter was more willful and married

poorly. She could not help much and did not interact much with her family. She would only show up if something significant happened at home. For example, she would return to attend Samuel’s birthday banquet.

She would not get involved in the fight for power either.

Albert also did not want her to get involved, since she would be of no help.

The other two daughters were married to prominent families in Jadeborough. They had also made it clear that as long as they were called for, they would help.

After all, who wouldn’t want their own lineage to the ones be in power?

Overall, Albert’s side was very united.

At that moment, they gathered together to discuss the situation in the Parks family.

Timothy sighed. “Everyone says that Annalise Barton is an incompetent idiot, but I don’t think so. Julian is Julian after all. Once he makes a move, it is definitely not simple.”

Megan Smith, Timothy’s cousin, disagreed. “She just knows how to write a few couplets. Is that impressive?” Megan was close with Jessy Parks. From the bottom of her heart, Megan felt that Annalise was good for nothing.

Timothy rebutted, “No, the couplet isn’t the main point. The Energizing Pill is the focus. Think about it. If she had a way to obtain more Energizing Pills, what does that mean?”

“Well?” Megan asked unhappily, folding her arms.
