Follow Me

The car drove away, and the sound of the engine slowly faded. Sadie didn't know where Julian was going, and she didn't bother finding out about it. She finished her meal and went upstairs. There wasn't anybody else in the mansion except for Amina and two other servants.

She didn't want to take a shower nor go to sleep, but the two servants kept staring at her silently like guard dogs.

She had no choice but to agree to let them prepare the bathing water.

She took out her phone and remembered that Julian said that her old phone broke from a fall. She quickly looked at the contacts saved on her phone.

Luckily, the important contacts were still saved on her phone. He did help her moved her contacts over from her old phone. Though, the messages from Otto were all gone.

She closed her eyes and her chest hurt.

She was now living in Julian's mansion, she even signed the wedding agreement. She had no right to continue being in a relationship with Otto.

She hugged the phone and fell onto the bed. She blinked her eyes and tears started to well up in her eyes.

"Lady Sadie, the bath is ready. Master Julian ordered that you had to take a shower before you sleep." The servant stood in front of the bed and reminded her politely, "Please don't make it difficult for us." Sadie opened her eyes and wiped off her tears with the blanket. She stood up and went into the bathroom.

The servant had prepared her pyjamas and the bathtub was already filled with water. She took off her clothes and looked at herself carefully in the mirror, she lifted her hand and touched her collarbone unconsciously.

Why did he mention wanting to bring her to the tattoo parlour? Was it because this scar was too ugly, or was there another reason for it?

She touched the protruding part of the scar, it was a bit lumpy.

Dean Esme never told her how she got this scar. She first saw this scar after she woke up at the hospital. Though she never paid much attention to this scar, she would occasionally touch it and that was it. She felt like the part where she got the scar held a special meaning. She shook her head, and she stepped into the tub.

The tub was wide and comfortable.

Julian's shaver was by the washbasin. There were also some other toiletries by the washbasin and an unopened makeup set.

Sadie looked away and closed her tired eyes.

She needed to calm down. She needed to think of a way to learn about her identity from Julian.

He had to know who she was!

She thought for a long time and fell asleep eventually. By the time she woke up, she was already on the bed. There was a light and thin silk blanket on her.

She opened her eyes and saw Julian coming out of the bathroom. He was wearing a white cotton pyjama with his chest exposed, she could see his well-toned pecs going up and down.

She was staring for a while until she suddenly realized that she was buck naked. Her face turned dark immediately, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to sleep." Julian glanced at her with an ambiguous expression in his eyes. He threw the towel on his hand to one side and lied down next to her nonchalantly.

Sadie was shocked speechless. She wanted to grab the blanket and get out of the bed, but she didn't have any strength.

"Go to sleep, take the day off tomorrow. I've already told your headteacher about it." Julian covered himself up with the blanket, inched closer and hugged her familiarly. He held her tightly in his arm and whispered, "Good night."

Sadie was so appalled she broke out in a cold sweat. She straightened her legs and kicked him, she then wrapped herself in the blanket and yelled, "Pervert! Get away from me!"

Julian squinted his eyes, and his eyes were smiling dubiously. He leapt towards her and imprisoned her between the mattress and himself, he then said mischievously, "I'm your husband, there's nothing perverted about husband and wife sleeping together in the same bed."

"You sure are thick-skinned!" Sadie glared at him furiously, the thin silk blanket had creases on it because she was grasping on it hard, so hard that her knuckles turned white. "I want to look at the agreement!" "I will let you look at it if only you can understand it." Julian laid down next to her, he spread open the blanket with his inhumane strength and yanked her over.

Cohen told him that he shouldn't excite her too much, he shouldn't keep mentioning about stuff that happened before she had amnesia. Otherwise, he would've tried to force her to remember stuff already. She slept next to him every night when she was 5 years old until she was 12 years old.

Sadie shrieked, she didn't care that she was buck naked, she kicked him again and wrapped herself in the blanket as a defence.

Bastard, pervert!

Julian's face slowly turned dark, he held out his hand and pulled her back into his arms again. He locked her in his arms and didn't let her move. He caressed her waist with his rough palms and warned her, “I don't know what I'll do to you if you don't sleep at once."

Sadie was getting sweaty, she was breathy, and her head felt numb. She closed her eyes and didn't dare to move.

He had inhumane strength, she couldn't possibly win him in a fight.

"It's nice when you're this obedient." Julian smiled seeing her staying still. "We can go at it as aggressively as you want after you recover, I will be happy to."

Sadie was angry and embarrassed, she pinched him and said, "Take your hand away!"

"Why? There wasn't a part of you that I had never touch or seen before," said Julian as he grimaced.

She sure pinched him hard. He could feel that she was frightened, he retrieved his hands, but there was a weird feeling in his chest.

He finally got to see her again, he wouldn't have the heart to bully her too much. She was meant to be together with him and hence he should be patient, he had all the time in the world to make her accept him again.

Sadie's nerve was on the edge, her face was flushed under the covers and her clear eyes were filled with rage.

She curled up her body and didn't say a word, she bit down hard on her lips.

The room was silent.

Julian licked his lips and turned off the lights. He gently tugged her over and said, "Be nice and go to sleep, I won't tease you anymore."

Sadie wouldn't believe his words, she was on guard for a bit until she confirmed that his hands weren't coming for her anymore. She then heard his breathing turned lighter and lighter.

She let out a sigh of relieve. Her head hurt so badly and she also slowly fell into a deep slumber.

When she woke up the next day it was already 10 in the morning. Her flu symptoms seemed to have clear up, though her nose was super stuffy.

She got out of the covers and realized that she was wearing something underneath. Her mouth twitched.

Julian was an adult and a male at that. He hugged her to sleep the whole night, but he really didn't do anything to her. He didn't even take advantage of her, she found it unbelievable. Sadie looked at her reflection in the mirror when she was freshening up in the bathroom. She came to a sudden realization.

Maybe he didn't do anything because she was hideous.

She picked a set of clothes from the cupboard and put it on. She glanced at her phone that had no notification on it and went downstairs listlessly.

Otto never called her, he should be back since yesterday.

Maybe that was for the best... She tried to tell herself that time would make her forget everything, but her tears started to roll off her cheeks.

She hated Julian to death. Otto wouldn't have to do something stupid like embezzling the public funds if it wasn't for Julian pulling stunts in the back scene.

"Master Julian went to the office, he ordered you to have breakfast, Lady Sadie." Amina brought out a bowl of red bean porridge and said with a smiling face, "Eat it while it's still warm."

Sadie wiped her tears away quickly and forced a smile, "Thank you."

Amina let out a sigh of relieve, seeing Sadie picking up the spoon and went on to do her chores. Before she walked away, she said to Sadie, "Master Julian wanted you to call him after you eat. Please do so after you eat."

Sadie nodded and smiled. Her phone suddenly rang just when she was about to put a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.

She glanced at the number and realized that it was Libby. She frowned and took the call suspiciously, "Libby?"------------
