Chapter 398: She Could Tell a Hypocritical Person
"Julian, I’m sorry for making you worry yesterday," Jessie said in a soft voice with blushes on her face.
She gently twiddled her hair, looking obedient.
From others’ perspectives, she was a kind and gentle girl who listened carefully to her brother.
"Mom already criticized me after I got home. I won’t do that again. Mom asked me to thank you in person."
Jessie didn’t look at Julian’s expression while saying this as if she was shy.
Others had never heard a softer voice than hers.
But Julian remained indifferent. He was not interested in her gentleness or beautiful voice. He said, "You are still young. It is normal for Aunt Sally to worry about you. You’d better find a company next time you go out."
"I see," Jessie nodded.
She looked up at him and hesitated to speak.
Seeing that Julian had no intention to continue their conversation, Jessie bit her lower lip in frustration.
She then said, "Did you find Margaret last night? Is she alright? I heard that many bad guys would go to that kind of bar. I hope she wasn’t harassed by some filthy men."
Jessie’s voice was gentle and delicate. Because she had been a voice actress for a while in university, she knew how to make her sound attractive.
She believed a beautiful and kind girl like herself with a sweet and soft voice would be charming.
Seeing that Julian made no response, she asked again carefully, "Didn’t you find her last night?
"Was it because that I texted you too late? I only took a glance when I left. I saw she was with her friends. Could it be that she left with her friends?"
Jessie pretended to be thoughtful while observing Julian’s expression.
She didn’t think that he could tolerate his wife dancing with other men at the bar.
Although she said that Margaret was with her "friends," anyone with common sense would know what purpose those men at the bar approaching women for.
Jessie smiled confidently.
But Julian was expressionless and swirled his wine slightly.
He casually said, "She is not as innocent as you. You’d better be more careful next
time and stay away from places like that."
Jessie’s smile froze as she heard this.
She felt that his tone was cold and even a little critical.
He seemed to be expressing concerns, but she felt like being warned.
She stared at him in disbelief, but she couldn’t find any trace of dissatisfaction towards Margaret.
She couldn’t believe that he would tolerate her dancing with a group of strange men.
She suspected if Julian was bewitched by Margaret.
Or he was so tolerant because he didn’t care about Margaret at all.
"It must be so." Jessie comforted herself in her heart.
But then she remembered the cold words Julian had just said to her. If he didn’t care about Margaret, why would he defend her? "Darling, are you done talking?"
Margaret interrupted their conversation in a tender and playful tone.
Jessie saw Margaret, who was in a light blue dress, walk beside Julian.
Margaret held Julian’s arm and leaned on him. She looked up at Julian and complained, "I’m so tired. I have stood for so long that my feet begin to hurt."
After she said so, she turned to look at Jessie and acted like she was surprised. "Jessie! I don’t know you were here too. Do you come here by yourself?"
Margaret looked at Julian and frowned, "Didn’t you say that guests could only enter with a female companion? If so, why can she come here alone? Did you lie to me so that I could accompany you?"
Margaret pouted with fictitious dissatisfaction.
Although she was complaining, she didn’t appear to be mad or upset. It was obvious that she was just flirting with Julian.
She knew how to irritate Jessie.
Julian looked at her without being surprised or dissatisfied.
He replied in a light voice, "Yes, or you won’t come."
Margaret was surprised that he would be so cooperative.
...
"If you’re tired, let’s go back and have a rest."
Julian wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her into his embrace. Then they turned around and walked towards the entrance of the banquet.
"What about Jessie? Honey, why don’t you drive her home first? She’s so innocent and fragile that she was easily targeted by some evil friends."
She said so while clinging tightly to his clothes.
Her meaning was obvious, "Don’t you dare to drive her home!"
Julian lowered his head to look at her and said, "She has her driver. Let’s go home first now that you are tired. If you stand for any longer, I’ll need to massage you for the whole night."
His understanding and tenderness for her made others both touched and envious.
Margaret also froze at his words, but she wouldn’t show any breach in front of her enemy.
Therefore, she said in an even softer voice, "Can you hug me back?"
As she spoke, she opened her arms towards Julian.
Without any hesitation, he bent down and carried Margaret to leave.
Jessie stood still. She couldn’t keep her smile on her face while watching Julian and Margaret leave regardless of her.
...
She didn’t even get a chance to say a word after being greeted by Margaret. It seemed that they couldn’t see any other person apart from each other.
She was transparent to them. She thought that they must think that she was ridiculous.
Not far away, Riya saw Margaret was carried away by Julian, surrounded by envious eyesight.
She shivered and thought, "She should behave so grossly when she is jealous."
In the hotel parking lot, Julian cornered her between the seat and his arms.
...
He looked at her and smiled mischievously, "Do your feet hurt now?"
...
Margaret backed a little and said, "I feel better now."
"I don’t think so."
Julian moved his palm along her thigh and reached her ankle.
Margaret instantly retracted her legs and held her knees. She bit her lips and said, "If Jessie could say ill words about me, I should have the right to show her how
deeply in love we are."
She had been curious about how Julian knew that she was dancing in the bar. Now she knew that it was Jessie who had told him.
Margaret rolled her eyes angrily, "What, you feel sorry for her?"
She thought, "Why did you cooperate with me if you would feel sorry for her?"
Julian glanced at Margaret smiled lightly. He leaned over to stroke her cheek and murmured, "There is so much more we can do to show how deeply in love we are."
...
Margaret looked at Julian’s smiling eyes in disbelief.
She blushed and whispered, "It’s not necessary now that no one is around."
Moreover, she knew that she would be playing with fire if she continued her performance.
Julian’s fingers brushed past Margaret’s cheek and held her chin.
"You’re so irresponsible to quit when no one is watching," Julian said in a low voice.
He sounded a little dissatisfied.
Margaret could almost feel his breath.
He was obviously seducing her.
"I am irresponsible. I am not as kind as Jessie. She has a simple mind and a gentle personality. Why don’t you go find her?"
She couldn’t let her emotion be led by him.
Therefore, she euphemistically complained about Jessie’s hypocritical personality.
Julian looked at her upset expression, and his smile became broader.
He sat on the driver’s seat and said, "You should thank her carefulness this time.
Without her, I’ll be a rich widower and married a new wife," he said carelessly.
Margaret immediately frowned and glared at him. "Do you mean that I should buy her a thankful gift?"
The other half of the sentence that she didn’t finish was that "After she deliberately lied to my husband that I might have an affair?"
She was clear about what Jessie meant by saying those words.
She could tell a hypocritical person.
"Julian, are you men all stupid? Do you all like goody-goodies like Jessie?" Julian listened and frowned.
"The word doesn’t sound good at all," he thought. "Jessie has been a good girl since childhood indeed." Hearing him say so, Margaret was angry and frustrated. "Does that mean that you believe in her rather than me?" Julian turned to look at her, "Are you two comparable?"
Margaret couldn’t accept that he said that she was not comparable with that
hypocritical bitch!
...
"Stop the car!" she said with fury.
But Julian ignored her and kept driving.
"I told you to stop the car. If you don’t stop, I will jump out from here."
As soon as she said that, Julian locked the car doors.
Margaret was speechless.
"We’ll soon be home. Stay here and don’t quarrel while driving," Julian said calmly.
Margaret sneered, "Are you saying that I’m unreasonable?"
Julian didn’t understand how she came to that conclusion.
"Well, I’m not planning to die young anyway. I can cease our fight till we get back home. I’ll divorce you when we get back!"
She couldn’t stand him for another day! Julian frowned as he sensed Margaret’s anger.
"What a petty woman," he thought, "I don’t know that she should be irritated so easily."
They didn’t say anything until they reached home.
...
The moment the car stopped, Margaret got out of the car and slammed the door shut, walking into the villa.
Evan, who had just come out to welcome them, was ignored by her and looked at Julian in confusion.
He thought to himself, "Mrs. Jorgansen seems to get mad again. It was lucky that the car was a good-quality one. But I’d better call some professionals to give it a check."
Julian handed the car key to him and said casually, "Prepare some of her preferred dishes."
With her background, Margaret had been taught not to eat casually during a cocktail party. He knew she must be hungry by now, especially after consuming so much energy to be mad at him.
Evan nodded and went to tell the cooks to prepare food.
When Julian returned to his room, Margaret was sitting on the bed with an angry face.
Julian took off his suit and asked her, "Aren’t you going to take a bath?"
Margaret rolled her eyes at him and turned around, "You go to sleep in the study room tonight."
She thought, "If you think I am worse than Jessie, then don’t sleep on the same bed with me!"
Rarely, Julian ignored her and took off his tie, "Then I’ll go take a shower first."
"I said that I wanted you to go to sleep in the study tonight."
"Do you want to take a bath with me?"
Margaret was lost for words at his shameless attitude.
And she couldn’t do anything about it!
Seeing that she did not continue to reject him, Julian turned around and entered the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of the shower, Margaret stamped her feet angrily and threw herself on the bed.
She was more than unhappy. She was furious!
When Julian came out of the bathroom, he saw her glare at him as if he had cheated on her.
She seemed to be going to tear him apart.
"Julian, don’t you see that I’m angry?"
Seeing that he did not even look at her and got on the bed, Margaret felt humiliated.
Julian took out his phone and looked through the screen. He replied without looking up, "Hurry up and go take a shower. Don’t waste our night."
"What do you mean wasting our night?" Margaret thought. She could confirm that he was just interested in her body. "Are you still thinking about Jessie?"
Julian finally looked up and frowned, "What about her?"
After saying that, Julian felt that something was wrong, "Are you saying that? Will I choose her or you?"
Margaret had never seen a duller person than him. Julian put down his phone and sighed, "Are you stupid?" "You are the one who is stupid!" Margaret retorted. "I admit that I care about her."
Julian said, "She is my sister, and you are my wife. I don’t understand why I have to choose between you and her."
Margaret said upsettingly, "She is not your biological sister. And she likes you." She knew so well about Jessie’s feeling for him.
She thought it was immoral that Julian established a romantic relationship with Jessie, although they weren’t related by blood.
Julian turned over and cornered Margaret between his body and the bed. He said in a serious tone, "You are my wife and my only wife, understand?"
Margaret covered her face for shyness.
She was not sure what Julian meant by this.
Julian directly pulled her hands away and looked into her eyes. He asked, "Do you understand?"
Margaret nodded like the best student in the class.
...
Only then did Julian let go of her and take up the phone again. "Go take a shower. Don’t make me wait too long."
Margaret blushed again. "Why does he have to say the latter sentence?" thought she.
"Well, how do you plan to deal with Jessie’s feeling for you?"
Julian said indifferently, "I don’t think that I have an obligation to respond to her feeling."
"But you must! You should reject her directly to stop her from imagining a romantic relationship with you."
Seeing her say so righteously, Julian replied, "Okay."
Margaret didn’t expect that he would agree so easily.
She was not used to her husband being so obedient all of a sudden.
