Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 37: Anticipation

Moira Young was frightened, hiding in Julian Sinclair’s arms. It took a long time for her to calm down, but her body was still trembling slightly.

Julian Sinclair took her back to his room. Looking at her, nestled in his arms like a frightened little rabbit, his heartache gradually intensified.

"Uncle..." Moira Young was reluctant to leave his embrace.

"I don’t like this place, can you take me away?" Moira Young choked, her eyes reddened, as if begging.

The experience just now was too terrifying. She didn’t want to think about it for another second, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like she was going to collapse.

Julian Sinclair closed his eyes and slowly took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I’m sorry, Moira, I’m sorry." Julian Sinclair sat her on the bed and then leaned over to hold her tightly, a wave of guilt surging over him. It was all his fault.

"Uncle, it’s not your fault, it’s my foolishness. He said you sent him to pick me up, and I believed him... It’s not your fault..." Moira Young caught the self-blame in his words, and immediately stopped sobbing, trying to comfort him instead.

Moira Young hugged him back, suddenly feeling a stabbing pain in her heart, the first time she had seen Julian Sinclair like this.

"Moira." Julian Sinclair suddenly crouched down and held Moira Young’s arms with both hands, serious and solemn.

Moira Young looked at him timidly.

"Never trust anyone." The bloodshot in his eyes gave Moira Young a sense of pressure.

"Including me." These three words were especially heavy.

"In the future, if something happens, you need to know how to fight back. If I’m not there, you must learn to protect yourself."

"Do you understand?" Julian Sinclair’s pitch-black eyes gradually narrowed, awaiting Moira Young’s response.

This was the first time he had used Moira Young, hurting her while also deeply hurting himself.

Such a small scheme had already pained him, Julian Sinclair dared not imagine what the future would hold.

"Why even you? You’re the closest person to me..." Moira Young tilted her head, genuinely confused.

She felt that the person she could trust most in the world was her Uncle.

"Forget it." Julian Sinclair saw her reaction and was unwilling to force her any longer.

"There’s still a meal tonight, after we eat, we’ll leave, alright?"

Moira Young, always obedient, naturally agreed.

"Moira is the best." He comforted her, also comforting himself, "Get some sleep, I’ll stay here with you."

"Okay." Moira Young had originally been reluctant to sleep, but upon hearing Julian Sinclair would stay with her, she immediately crawled into bed.

She hadn’t slept well the previous night and was indeed very tired, quickly falling asleep.

Once she was asleep, Julian Sinclair quietly left the room.

Fiona Rhodes was waiting for him at the door.

"Is the child alright?" Fiona Rhodes worryingly approached, just about to peek through the door’s crack when Julian Sinclair closed it.

"She’s fine." Julian Sinclair’s demeanor returned to indifference, various emotions in his eyes deeply buried.

"Good, as long as she’s fine. When I heard Zayne Sinclair was up to no good, I hurried over to check. If the girl is upset, I can also help comfort her." Fiona Rhodes put on a relaxed expression.

Julian Sinclair just looked at her, as if watching a poorly acting performer.

He knew Fiona Rhodes would definitely call him out, and he also knew Zayne Sinclair would definitely target Moira Young.

One couldn’t stand him having other women, the other couldn’t stand him having things they didn’t.

So, Julian Sinclair had long predicted what the two of them were scheming.

Fiona Rhodes really loved him, but the Rhodes family was always duplicitous. They couldn’t guarantee Julian Sinclair would ultimately seize power, but he was the most promising. For the perfect outcome at the end, while being good to Julian, the Rhodes family was also secretly currying favor with other brothers.

"But you can’t blame Zayne Sinclair, the girl is indeed too stunning. Even you couldn’t help but keep her by your side, let alone that guy, Zayne Sinclair." Fiona Rhodes’s words had a tinge of jealousy. She had never been jealous of anyone in her life, yet here she was, inexplicably jealous of an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Is being good-looking a reason to be harassed?" Julian Sinclair’s face suddenly darkened, he wouldn’t allow anyone to talk about Moira Young like that.
