Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 50 Then I’ll’Sleep On The Floor

Gilderoy said in a low voice, “Master, you’re only going to be 80 years old next year.”

Samuel said, “There’s a reason our ancestors celebrate their birthdays early.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately,” Gilderoy immediately said.

Albert and Christopher looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

They thought that a birthday celebration would be a good thing, as that would mean gift presentations and

showcase of talents.

When the time came, they would invite all of Jadeborough’s reporter friends over for a live broadcast. Annalise was

neither rich nor talented. She would be a disgrace to Julian.

If Julian lost face, his popularity in Jadeborough would decrease. At that time, if they secretly fanned the flames,

some expiring contracts might not be renewed.

Julian was currently the general manager of Parks Group, acting as president.

Half a year ago, the important figures in their family sat down for a meeting. Samuel said that Julian had been the

general manager of Parks Group for two years. His performance was for all to see, and Samuel wanted to push

Julian directly to the president’s position.

The act faced opposition from the families of Samuel’s brothers. Their reason was that Julian had done well in the

first two years because of the good market. Now that the global economy was affected, if he could do well within

the year, they would approve Julian and let him be the Parks Group’s president.

They figured that as long as Annalise would bring shame to Julian in Samuel’s banquet, the collaborators would

definitely consider carefully whether to renew their contracts. After all, if the wife of a group leader was useless, it

meant that the ship could sink at any time.

Albert immediately said, “Yes, Samuel, the birthday banquet should indeed be held this year.”

Christopher added, “That’s right. Our family hasn’t been so lively for a long time. This time, we have to make it a

big one.”

Samuel looked at Julian and Alexander. “What do you think?”

Alexander smiled and said, “Grandpa’s 80th birthday celebration should be grand.”

Julian said, “I’ll go with Gilderoy tomorrow to make the arrangements.”

Albert and Christopher immediately said, “We’ll also let Timothy and Jaime come along.”

Albert asked again, “Samuel, what day of the week would it be?”

Samuel suddenly shouted, “Get lost!”

Albert was stunned.

Christopher immediately pulled him back. “Samuel’s birthday is at 10th of July. It happens to be next Saturday.”

Albert apologized awkwardly. “Samuel, look at me. I’m old and getting senile. I guess I got your birthday mixed up

or something. Please don’t hold it against me. Oh, right, I also promised to buy toys for my great grandson. I have

to go pick it up now. Goodbye, Samuell

Christopher also found an excuse to leave.

At their age, they didn’t care much about food anymore, but they were very obsessed with power and status. They

always felt that they didn’t have much life left to live at their age. They had to seek benefits for their descendants.

After the two old men left, Julian and the others soon finished eating.

Samuel said, “You guys rushed over early in the morning. It’s been hard on you. Go and rest.”

“Thank you, grandpa!” Abigail immediately smiled and tried to make her presence known.

“Thank you, grandpa!” Annalise sounded much calmer.

Samuel’s teachings were stili vivid in her mind. It did not matter what happened in private. When there were

outsiders present, she had to act distant. She did not want to let Samuel down for protecting her.

Everyone went to rest.

The Parks Residence complex was very big. Alexander lived in a house next door with his parents.

Samuel and Julian lived in the house where they were eating at the moment.

Tony and his wife had spent most of their time overseas, which meant that Alexander lived alone in the house next

door most of the time.

In addition to these two houses, there were several other houses in the Parks Residence complex. Albert and

Christopher, as well as Madam Blake, all had houses there. However, a few years ago, Samuel had all of them

move away because he wanted peace and quiet.

Now whenever they wanted to come back to stay, they usually had important family meetings or important

banquets to attend.

This time, Samuel was going to hold a birthday banquet. The Parks Residence would probably be lively soon.

Julian took Annalise to his suite first.

After entering Julian’s suite, Julian took a folded set of pajamas from the bed and handed it to Annalise. “Go take a

shower and take a nap.”

Seeing that the pajamas were folded neatly, Annalise suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking that she shouldn’t have such emotions, she said, “No need. I brought my clothes. By the way, have our

suitcases been delivered?”

At the airport, Julian said that the driver would bring their luggage over.

Julian did not miss the moment of displeasure in Annalise’s eyes. He was suddenly in a good mood and teased her,

“The luggage is not here yet.” He wondered if she misunderstand that the pajamas belonged to another woman.

“Alright, I’ll go take a shower and just wear what I have now,” Annalise said.

Julian looked Annalise up and down. “But your clothes went on a plane and then to the hospital. They’re dirty.”

Annalise was speechless.

She looked in the direction of the bed. She had originally planned to discuss with Julian that she would sleep on the

bed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and he would sleep on the bed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. She

could not let herself suffer all the losses alone after all.

After all, they were married under a contract. It didn’t matter if they enjoyed different benefits. They still had to

bear the burden together.

Yet, he complained that her clothes were dirty.

She said, “Then I’ll sleep on the ground in the future.”

She decided to let it slide. The ground wasn’t cold in this weather anyway. She would suffer a little.

“Pfft…” Julian looked at Annalise’s serious expression and suddenly laughed.

Annalise was a little angry. “What are you laughing at? I can’t even sleep on the floor?”

Previously, he had always given her the feeling that he did not despise her identity. She didn’t see why he couldn’t

just let her sleep on the floor.

She wondered how dirty were her clothes.

Seeing that Annalise was really going to get angry, Julian smiled gently at her and handed her the pajamas. “The

pajamas are new. I asked the servants at home to buy them in your size. They’ve already been washed.”

“My size?” Annalise looked at Julian in surprise.

There was a hint of surprise and a little doubt. She wondered how did he know her size.

“You have a standard figure. I just bought it based on your approximate height and weight,” Julian explained.

“Thank you!” Annalise immediately thanked him. She could not help but smile.

She had almost misunderstood him just now.

Now that he explained, the unhappiness in her heart instantly disappeared, and her mood improved.

Julian added, “No woman has ever come here except for the servants. You’re the first.” And he hoped that she was

the last!

Annalise’s ears heated up for no reason. She immediately said, “I’m going to take a shower.”

With that, she hurried into the bathroom.

As soon as she closed the door, she realized that she had not brought a towel.

Julian stood at the bathroom door and said with a smile, “The blue towel is mine. The pink one is for you. It’s all

new.”

“Oh, got it.” Annalise’s cheeks felt even hotter.

Julian smiled and told Annalise that the hairdryer was in the cabinet.

With that, he went to the next room to take a shower.

The room next door was a guest room, but no guests had ever stayed there.
