Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 260

No, I just like orchids,” Lee said indifferently. He did not want to talk about the past, much less talk about it with Nancy. “Orchids are really beautiful,” Nancy said with a smile. “Yes,” Lée replied perfunctorily. Nancy tried to hold Lee’s hand again, but Lee avoided her move. He hated physical contact. When he saw the butler approaching, he strode over and instructed him, “During the speech by the Xander family, please allocate a few minutes for me. I have something very important to announce. I have very important people to thank.”

“Alright, alright,” the butler replied immediately when he heard Lee wanted to thank someone. When Nancy heard that Lee was going to publicly announce his gratitude to someone, she was very happy. She guessed that her uncle wanted to publicly thank her for donating her bone marrow back then. Although everyone knew that she was from both the Zeller and Xander family, nothing was more precious than having Lee thank her in public.

Thinking that Lee was going to thank her in public, Nancy felt that she should put on some performance Hence, she took the initiative to arrange a dance. She changed into her ethnic outfit and went up to dance. Her body was so pliable and her movement was gentle as the wind that she caught the eyes of countless men.

There were cheers and whistles below the stage. She looked down from the stage in the -direction of Julian. Julian did not look at the stage at all. He thoughtfully brought food to Annalise. The two of them lowered their heads and chatted away. Nancy could not help but feel angry. there something wrong with Julian’s eyesight? Was She then looked at Layla. Layla had passed by in front of Julian a few times, but Julian did not seem to be interested in Layla.

Did he not remember what happened back then? Or did he not realize that Layla used Orchid-style finger gestures whenever she performed acupuncture? After Nancy finished dancing and getting off the stage, she could not wait to call Layla. She asked Layla if Julian had seen Layla doing acupuncture. Layla was very certain that Julian was shocked when he saw her at the entrance of the washroom.

Therefore, it was impossible that he did not notice her. He did not pay much attention to her after that. It was very likely that he was taking care of Annalise’s feelings. “Haha…” Nancy sneered.

Annalise was really lucky to be cherished by Julian. She was just a woman from the countryside who had some medical skills. Naney then instructed Layla to think of a way to fall in front of Julian and to test if Julian would help her up. She knew very well that Julian was extremely defensive against women. If an old man fell in front of him, he might help him up. If a woman fell in front of him, he would not even look at her. If he helped out Layla, that means he cared for her. Otherwise, Nancy would have to think of other measures. Upon receiving the instructions, Layla immediately held a glass of red wine in her left hand and a small plate of pastries in her right.

The long train of the evening gown was dragged behind Layla. Previously, she would pull the skirt up a little every time she walked. Now that she was holding something with both hands, it was not convenient for her to do so. She walked forward slowly in her high heels. When she passed by Julian, she suddenly twisted her foot and fell towards Julian This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Julian’s first reaction was worry that the cup or pastry in Layla’s hand would hit Annalise. He immediately turned his back toward Layla and opened his arms to protect Annalise. “Be careful!” Trevor who was not far away rushed over quickly and reached out to support Layla. “Thank you, thank you! I was too careless.” Luayla immediately thanked Trevor. She failed again. Was she having bad luck today?

“Let’s sit over there for a while. There are fewer people there.” Julian held Annalise in his arms, and they left. When he turned around, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at Layla.

It could be merely a coincidence if a person showed up in front of him once or twice. After seeing Layla for the third time, Julian suspected that she had ulterior motives. After Nancy left the stage, she watched the situation from afar. Seeing Layla had failed again, Nancy secretly scolded Layla for being useless in her mind. If she had known that Layla would not be able to do such a small thing, she would

have chosen a smart girl from the medical university. On the stage. Lee, the second son of the Xander family, went on stages.

Lee was 47 years old this year. He looked thin and handsome as if he was only about 38 years old. He was at the prime age for a man. Below the stage, there was a chorus of praise. “The Xander family has a really good gene. Lee is almost 50 years old, but he looks like he was only in his thirties.” “Ahhh! I want to marry him!” “In the past, I always thought that man had to be well-built. No woman would like that man with softer features. Lee has proved me wrong. I like Lee’s soft and fragile appearance!” “That’s right. I wonder what kind of woman Lee likes?”

“Lee-likes fat ladies, right? His ex-wife was extremely fat. Haha! I heard that she weighed 180 pounds and was veru chubby. Lee treated his wife like a treasure. “Tell me, how did we lose to his wife? The 180-pound woman was lucky enough to marry Lee. She was pampered by him. Yet, she abandoned him in the end.” Nancy looked at Lee excitedly when she saw him on stage.

With Lee’s support, it would be easier for her to ask the Xander family for resources in the future. On the stage. Lee held the microphone and said, “Today is my father’s 73rd birthday. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my father’s birthday banquet. I want to thank my father for giving me life. At the same time, I want to announce something very important to me.”

Nancy became even more excited. Her eyes were fixed on Lee who was on the stage. Lee glanced down the stage and said emotionally, “I found my daughter! I’ve been lying in bed for 20 years. I missed my daughter’s birth and growth. I missed her first steps and first words. Fortunately, she grew up very well. She’s so outstanding that I’m proud of her.

“I implore everyone to be my witness. From today onward, I will try to be a good father. I will dote on her, pamper her, and protect her. I will not let anyone bully her.” Below the stage, Nancy was stunned.

She thought, “He has found his daughter? “When did he have a daughter? “Was there a mistake somewhere? “Didn’t he lose his son back then?”

Many people below the stage asked excitedly, “Mr. Xander, who is your daughter?” On the stage, Lee looked at the audience. emotionally and said, “My precious daughter is Annalise Barton. I neglected my duty and missed her growing up. So, she took her mother’s surname. Annalise, come, come to the stage!”

Annalise did not expect Lee the o announce their relationship in such a way. She knew thar it was all fake, but she was still very touched that her eyes turned red. Julian smiled and said, “Go, slow down. Don’t trip.” It did not matter if it was true or fake. It waqs fine as long as Lee treated Annalise well. Annalise felt happy. “Yes,” Annalise replied in a choked voice and walked up the stage. Everyone’s sight was on her…
