Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 33: The Past

"I love... you..."

Finally, a long and intense passion came to an end.

Fiona Rhodes nestled contentedly in Julian Sinclair’s arms, "Tomorrow is Uncle Sinclair’s wedding. My dad told me to keep an eye on you, afraid you might cause trouble."

"Hmm." Julian felt a bit tired.

"I know if you really want to cause a scene, none of us can stop you. But Julian, Aunt Sinclair has been gone for so long, and Uncle Sinclair is only now remarrying. Isn’t that somewhat commendable?"

Fiona counted, "It’s been almost twenty years..."

Fiona knew that Aunt Sinclair’s death was a knot in Julian’s heart.

Back then, Julian was nine, and she was seven. One day, Uncle Sinclair suddenly flew into a rage, accusing Aunt Sinclair of having an affair, calling her shameless, and wanting a divorce.

Because of this, Aunt Sinclair committed suicide in front of Julian.

She still remembers how difficult that year was for Julian. All the elders of the Sinclair family looked down on him with disdain, and his brothers bullied him, mocking his mother.

In the eyes of outsiders, having a mother who lost her honor was equivalent to the possibility that her children might not even be from their own family.

At that time, he was forced to take a paternity test with Uncle Sinclair, but thankfully, he was indeed of Sinclair blood.

The more Fiona thought about it, the more her heart ached. She held Julian’s hand, interlacing their fingers, and rested her head on his chest.

"Julian, no matter what, I will never leave you. You said you still have a plan unfinished, so I will wait. Once you have secured your position in The Sinclair Group, we will get married, okay?" Fiona fantasized about their wedding, which would be unprecedentedly grand. The Rhodes and Sinclair families were both prestigious, and if they married, it would surely cause a sensation in high society.

However, Julian gave no response.

Fiona raised her head slightly and only then realized Julian had already fallen asleep.

She sighed softly, helplessly: "You fall asleep at every crucial moment. I just won’t believe it. I will surely grab the chance to ask you when you’re awake."

She got out of bed, somewhat reluctant, but she had to hurry back. Her two brothers were strict and didn’t allow her to stay out overnight.

Fiona got dressed and left the room, finding Butler Liu to get the car keys.

"Miss Rhodes, it’s getting late. Let me arrange for someone to drive you back."

"No need, I’m not a little girl who hasn’t grown up!" Fiona looked at him amused, not understanding why he was worried.

Butler Liu was taken aback by her words. He dealt with Moira Young daily, who was still young and closely protected by Julian. She needed careful attention in everything.

Sweat slightly beaded on his forehead, realizing his habitual care was applied to someone who didn’t need it. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Yes, well then, Miss Rhodes, please be safe on the road."

Fiona couldn’t help but laugh again, giving Butler Liu another glance, and got into the car.

Just as she closed the car door, she suddenly thought of something.

"Butler Liu, did Julian bring that little girl along?" Fiona was aware of Moira Young’s existence, thinking Julian had whimsically adopted her for fun, and didn’t pay much genuine attention.

"You mean Miss Moira? She’s resting in her room."

"No wonder." Fiona finally understood why she felt there was someone else’s scent in the house as soon as she entered. It turns out he brought the little girl along.

"Will he bring her to the wedding tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Fiona nodded to show she understood, stepped on the gas, and left.

The starlit sky in the Vesperian suburbs was beautiful as the evening breeze passed by. Julian stood on the balcony watching her speed away, his gaze gradually becoming inscrutable.

Just now, he had been pretending to sleep.
