Chapter 581
When Julian heard the word “phone,” his expression immediately darkened.
He started to feel uneasy.
The last time, he thought Tessa had let it go.
But now, she was bringing it up again, questioning him once tnore
Julian’s gaze shifted uneasily. “Baby, I thought I already explained this to you last time.
“If you’re going to ask me again, I’ll just repeat what I said before have nothing new to add.”
Tessa didn’t miss the flicker in his eyes, and she saw it clearly in her own eyes.
Lately, dealing with Lucas had taught her how to read people.
Just now, Julian definitely hadn’t been truthful.
He was still hiding something from her.
But what exactly he was hiding, Tessa couldn’t figure out.
She knew that if Julian didn’t want to say something, he wouldn’t.
He’d remain tight–lipped.
He would appear strange.
Although Tessa was dissatisfied, she could clearly see he was lying to her.
But since she couldn’t get anything out of him, she didn’t plan on asking again.
People were like that–persistent questioning only diminished its purpose.
Besides, Tessa was already an independent woman.
She didn’t need to rely on Julian to live her life. Why should she?
She should have her own life.
Tessa smiled sweetly. “Alright, Julian, I believe whatever you say, no need to explain to me. But…”
Tessa paused deliberately, then slowly moved in front of Julian and stood there.
She raised her hand to gently trace his chest, her fingers feeling like hooks, igniting a fire in him.
Just as Julian was about to take her hand and move things forward, Tessa quickly pulled her hand back, giving him no chance.
Julian was left confused, his expression even a little hurt.
“What’s wrong, baby? Why won’t you let me touch you?”
Tessa smiled, her expression full of meaning. “No matter what you do outside, just make sure I don’t find out. The consequences could be serious.”
Julian’s heart skipped a beat, and Tessa’s words left him speechless.
But he nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay, I understand. Baby, what are you talking about? You’re the only woman for me, forever!”
With that, Julian, as if to prove his loyalty, pulled her into his arms without hesitation, disregarding her protests, and his lips landed on hers.

Chapter 581
This time, Tessa didn’t resist, and her expression showed she was enjoying it.
The two of them kissed in front of the hospital, as if no one were around.
Only after kissing Tessa did Julian feel his heart settle.
No one could imagine how afraid he was that Tessa might find out about him and Lily.
He had seen just how sharp Tessa had become lately.
Honestly, he was a little afraid.
But as long as Tessa still trusted him, there was hope for this situation.
He didn’t have to worry too much.
The most important thing right now was to keep his relationship with Tessa steady.
