Chapter 274: Chapter 274

Paige Sterling originally came with Julian Hawthorne, but Julian said he would come out in a few minutes, so she didn’t get out of the car and waited for him inside.

However, Julian had been inside for quite a while and hadn’t come out, but Paige did see Faye Hawthorne come out quite early.

Feeling something was off, Paige got out of the car and started walking inside.

When she went in, she happened to see Skylar Hughes lying on the ground, clinging tightly to Julian’s leg, shouting, "Julian! Julian! Don’t leave..."

The whole scene just screamed tragedy no matter how one looked at it.

Paige’s mouth twitched hard, and she thought to herself, ’Good thing Julian wore socks.’

Julian, with Skylar wrapped around his leg, was losing his patience and forcefully kicked her, sending Skylar sliding a considerable distance until she ended up at Paige’s feet.

When Skylar looked up and saw Paige looking down at her, her face turned stiff.

Paige gave her a smile, then turned a reproachful look toward Julian.

"Mr. Hawthorne, that was too harsh. She’s supposed to be someone you love dearly."

Julian’s face looked awful. If they weren’t outside, he would have stripped off his shoes, socks, and pants!

Every part touched by Skylar needed to be taken off!

Seeing Paige still in the mood to watch his embarrassment, Julian suddenly slumped into a chair.

"She touched my hand. I’m feeling a bit dizzy..."

Paige immediately dropped her humorous act, walked over to support him, and seeing his eyes and skin hadn’t changed much and he just seemed a bit weak, she let out a sigh of relief.

Then Paige shot a cold look at Skylar, "You’re just like dog poop, lingering endlessly."

Skylar had already gotten up from the ground and looked at Paige with a choking voice.

"Paige, I’m begging you, I really can’t live without Julian. Please give him back to me, fulfill us, will you..."

Paige hadn’t yet reached the point of wanting to hit someone, but Julian couldn’t hold back any longer and actually got up as if to kick Skylar again.

Paige immediately stopped him, "Forget it. If she wants to dream, let her dream. Some people can only find a sense of existence in their dreams. Let’s go."

Julian leaned weakly on Paige, resembling a delicate flower, "I need you to support me."

"Want me to carry you?"

Julian recalled once being carried down the street by Paige, and his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

The two left, laughing and joking, as if Skylar was just an insignificant passerby who couldn’t stir up the slightest ripple between them.

Skylar watched intensely, hating them down to her bones.

When they returned to Silverstream Bay, Julian came out after a shower, and Paige finally asked him, "Are you okay?"

Julian nodded, "Still a bit dizzy..."

Then he naturally rested his head on Paige’s shoulder.

Paige laughed, pushed his head slightly, but he came back resting on her again.

"You’re pretending. You’re obviously fine already..."

Julian smiled, "Knowing you care about me, worry about me, makes me happy."

In a relationship, men can pamper women, but women can do the same.

Especially a woman like Paige, when she spoils a man, it’s truly irresistible.

Julian now felt like a spoiled little princess by Paige, wanting to be cherished at the center of her attention every day.

Paige took something out from her bag, grabbed Julian’s hand and said, "Here, wear this."

Julian looked down and saw it was a metal bracelet, "What is it?"

Paige said, "It’s for allergies. I’ve been researching it for a long time. I don’t know if it works for you, but you can try it."

He used to be bothered by his allergic constitution.

But now, he had everything he wanted, and whether or not he had allergies seemed less important.

He hadn’t been troubled by such things for a long time and had completely forgotten that Paige had promised to research an anti-allergy device for him.

Seeing his indifference, Paige asked, "Why not?"

"Being able to touch you is enough. I don’t need anyone else’s touch."

Paige lifted her head, cupping his face, looked at him seriously.

"Have you thought about what would happen if someone with ill intentions discovered your allergy and used it against you?"

Such a thing had happened before, like when Austin Xavier did it?

"I made this bracelet to protect you. You have to wear it and report to me daily, got it?"

"Got it, Mrs. Hawthorne." Julian kissed her, then raised his wrist, "In the future, if anyone asks what this bracelet is for, I’ll say it’s a leash my wife gave me so I won’t run away."

Sonny Chambers and Burt Chambers silently rolled their eyes, these two adults were shamelessly flaunting their love again.

Burt couldn’t help but comment, "Sis, all men are the same. I know men best. Maybe your husband was behaving before due to his health, but now that you’ve given him a bracelet, aren’t you afraid he’ll go looking for other women?"

Julian looked at Paige, as if waiting to see how she would respond.

Paige said, "He won’t."

Burt asked, "How do you know he won’t? Can you guarantee he’ll never betray you in his life?"

"That I can’t," Paige said. "People’s hearts can change. But even if he does, so what? We just divorce, right? It’s not like anyone can’t live without someone else. Even at seventy or eighty, I still have the right to divorce, right?"

Paige was so open-minded that they didn’t even know what expression to have. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵

Then Paige smiled at Julian, "Expecting me to recite dramatic soap opera lines to you is unlikely. But remember, as long as you love me, I’ll love you just as much. That will always hold true."

She didn’t know if other people’s hearts might change.

But she knew hers wouldn’t.

Without saying another word, Julian leaned in and bit Paige’s lips, kissing her intensely as if no one else was around.

Sonny and Burt numbly covered their eyes, pretending they saw nothing.

The two were becoming openly audacious.

Suddenly, Paige pushed Julian away, "Burt, come here and touch him."

Burt looked terrified, "Sis! I’m still a kid, what are you doing?!"

Paige, "I just want you to see if he’s still allergic, come over and touch him."

When they first moved to Silverstream Bay, Burt had been beaten by Julian quite a few times for accidentally touching him, leading to a psychological shadow that now made him afraid to approach Julian.
