My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1451

After the phone call with Harper, silence found its way to Vanessa once again. The man whom she had been looking for for years but to no avail had actually showed up right before her. She did not know whether this was a blessing, or a curse.

Ding, ding, ding...

Her cell phone rang again, and the caller this time was Julien. Vanessa took a few deep breaths to regain her composure, then answered the call, "Hello!"

Julien's usual indifferent voice sounded through the phone, "Who was on the phone just now?"

With a wry smile, Vanessa asked, "Are you going to control who I talk to on the phone too?"

Julien was silent.

"Will you be coming tonight?" Vanessa asked again.

Julien replied, "My parents are back in Chatterton Town. So, I'll be going home tonight. Remember to eat, and rest early after dinner."

Although there was nothing odd about this sentence, Vanessa still thought that this should not be the way. He did not need to report everything to her. "Mr. Kyle, you really don't have to report your comings and goings to me."

Julien said, "You are my fiance."

He meant to insinuate that it was natural for fiances to keep each other in the loop regarding their whereabouts.

Since he mentioned the engagement, Vanessa wanted to clarify something with him. "Mr. Kyle, about the engagement..."

Before she could finish speaking, Julien had cut her off, "It's just an engagement. I didn't ask you to marry me right away."

Vanessa was rendered speechless.

She did only say that she would not marry him, with no mention of not being engaged to him. Alas, this loophole was quickly taken advantage of and turned into an earth-shattering affair, which was not something the usual cautious and prudent Julien would do.

Julien added, "Alright, I'm hanging up."

Vanessa hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, let's talk about this. There are many good women out there, so why me?"

Julien replied, "Vanessa, do you really want to see me engaged to another woman?"

Tongue- tied, Vanessa offered nothing in reply.

She really did not want to.

But she did not want him to know this. Her lips parted, but she did not speak.

Vanessa did not answer yes, but Julien's tone softened as he said, "I'll give you enough time to prep yourself mentally. I'll also try to change our relationship dynamic, and how we get along with each other."

Julien's personality had always been cold and impassive. He never liked talking about what went on in his mind, or what he did. But this time, he was different; he was patient in communicating with Vanessa and explaining the situation to her. This was a titanic change in his personality.

In fact, he had changed it for Vanessa before, but after that incident, everything returned to the beginning. He was still the lofty and cold Julien whom nobody dared to approach.

Vanessa started to say, "No...."

Julien quickly said, "Alright then."

Then, he decisively hung up the phone.

He was on his way home where he could finally be with his parents whom he had not seen for a while. But instead of feeling exhilarated, Julien's heart was a worried mess.

Julien knew that his assistant, Ethan, had told his dad about everything that had happened earlier, and his recklessness would definitely earn some blame. Even so, he felt no regret whatsoever.
