Chapter 23 You are My Wife



"You moved out?" Libby sneered and played down the problem to say, "I come to sign the notice of critical illness. Nobody has seen Raya from yesterday. Do you think she took the money to go?" Sadie bit her lips to tried to calm down. She answered, "What would you like to talk with me? You should know I have got nothing about our orphanage."

Libby started to laugh at her, "I am asking you just because you've never known it. See you."

Soon, Libby hung off the call, leaving Sadie listen to the busy tone from the phone.

With her mobile phone in hand, Sadie was stunned by what Libby said. So, her number had been changed; in fact, she was just informed of her broken mobile phone.

Sadie was suffering from a headache that she tried to relieve by having a rub by herself. However, she remembered what Julian told her when giving the mobile phone and IPAD to her, which made her feel

worse now.

Julian told her this was a new number, but at that time she was too dizzy caused by the common cold to keep it in her mind.

After having the porridge, Sadie went upstairs to check her contact list on the mobile phone. Finally, she was much offended by not having the number of Otto on the list.

Shit! How could he decide her contact list?

Sadie cursed Julian greatly. She could not expect how he asked for the leave today to her teacher; what he did might greatly embarrass her in the school.

She went to wash her face in the bathroom to allow herself to feel better. And then she looked everywhere to get some pocket money and opened the door to go downstairs. Julian would be the last person that she tried to call!

Just the moment, Amina was busy in the kitchen as well as the other two maids were tidying up the living room. Nobody stopped Sadie from going out.

When coming out, she covered her eyes from the strong sunlight with hands immediately, together with a deep breath. Suddenly, she stopped herself.

Sadie realized she could not go. If not staying here, she would never know about the truth of her family; besides, the orphanage would be removed. No matter what Dean had done, all the kids there should not take such a terrible result.

If Dean did not take her to the orphanage that year, she would have died in hospital.

As to Julian, Sadie neither got much information about him. No one could investigate him merely from internet.

Just now, one maid opened the door to ask Sadie in a respect way, "Madame, would you like to go out? I can arrange the car for you."

"No, thank you. I am walking in the garden." Sadie stopped thinking more and walked down in a dizzy mind, still holding her mobile phone tightly.

She was too regretful about playing as Julian's wife. It was really a big trouble for her.

Sadie was walking in such an elegant garden everywhere telling the exceptionally artistic preference of the owner. But she was not happy to enjoy it right now.

She would like to call Daisy, yet to know what to say. The more she thought, the more confused she became.

After thinking about it for a while, Sadie unlocked her mobile phone to check some news about Julian.

She found nothing. Even if there were most information about him from the magazines of economy and finance, she only read some words such as "mysterious", "low profile" and etc.

She did not know what the real background of Julian was and what they had been like before. In addition, why did he tell his friend that he found her now?

After sitting for a moment, Sadie felt much weaker under the strong sunlight or from the worse common cold. Her nose was too bunged up.

For half an hour in the garden, she was frustrated to go back to the villa and went upstairs to sleep.

Sadie felt much better after some sleep, not so dizzy as before. Looking at the clock, she threw the blanket and got off to have a wash.

It was so quiet here that any noise could be heard clearly. She heard someone opening the door and cleaned her face hurriedly to see who it was.

Julian was here. Sadie had an eye contact with him to know he was annoyed.

Julian untied and walked slowly to her, asking, "Why didn't call me?"

Sadie were eyes-wide and looked up at him to answer, "I forgot it."

She had never tried to call him.

Julian looked down and watched her carefully to ask, "Did you forget? Or unwilling to call?"

Sadie answered, "I forgot." Then she felt some itching in her nose causing her a sneeze.

Her eyes turned red with rubbing her nose.

Julian became worried instead of being annoyed and asked, "Still not well? May I ask Doctor Darius to come?"

Sadie was not good with his abrupt change into a soft voice.

She tried to avoid his eyes and passed him with sneezing, "I'm hungry."

Julian held her shoulders to pull her back and carried her in his arms, "So am I.”

The words made Sadie greatly nervous who angrily opened her eyes wide. She asked, "Are you not tired?"

Julian answered peacefully, "I'm not tired to carry you. You are my wife now; please accept it even if you are unhappy with it."

Sadie said, "Hey, we are in China not following the laws of the US. I have not got to the minimum age to get married here. The paper doesn't work at all." Just now, she looked at his eyes and felt unsure about his reaction.

Would he kill her now?

But Julian said, "You know the law very well. So, you should also know about the result of your overdue loan. Right?" Then he had a laugh and carried her out of the bedroom.

No matter how old she was, he said the agreement still worked.

Sadie did not know what to say, but kept silent with a blush.

Now Amina had prepared the dinner well. There were four dishes and a soup, good looking as well as good taste. Sadie was left before the tap water and was helped washing both of her hands by Julian before she realizing it.

Right now, Julian's chest was close with her back; and she also could get a clean smell from him which she felt some of familiar.

She should have the same happy experiences before.

After washing her hands, Julian got the towel from a maid to dry her hands carefully. He said, "I have a friend to meet tonight. Could you come with me? But if you are feeling unwell, I can change to another day."

Sadie was surprised to turn back, almost calling out his full name, "Why am I going to see your friend?"

"You are my wife, darling." Julian also dried his own hands and held her to the dinner table to have a seat. He continued to ask, "Have you read the introduction I gave to you yesterday? When will you take me to see your friends?"

The question pushed Sadie into some embarrassment, "Uh... is it necessary?"

She did not understand why to take Julian to meet her friends. Now it was Julian who needed a wife; she had never asked for such a fake husband.

Julian saw her getting stunned and smiled to ask, "What do you think?"

Being watched by him, Sadie realized she was so nervous to even have much sweat in her hands.

He kept smiling to her. finally, Sadie knew this was a joke; soon, she was angry and yelled, "I don't need to do it!"

Julian did not stop smiling; he got the dinnerware in a graceful way and said, "Well. Up to you."

Sadie saw his smile and gritted her teeth secretly, then got her dinnerware as well.

She could not have much food until feeling well. Just having a little, she became full enough to say, "I finished."

Julian glanced at her and put down the dinnerware to clean his mouth with tissue. Then he asked easily, "Dean is critically ill. Would you like to visit her?"

Now Sadie was stared by Julian whose eyes were full of mixed feelings.
