Chapter 130 A Toast To Our Whole Lifetime

• Julian Parks pressed his forehead gently against Annalise Barton’s. As they swayed gently to the rhythm of the music, he whispered her name, “Annie.” “Yes,” she replied softly. It was such a simple exchange, but her ears were red from embarrassment, and her heart was thumping madly uncontrollably. It was the same for Julian. He had not started drinking, and the temperature of the air conditioner in the room was set very low, yet he could feel a hot sensation spreading throughout his body.
• It was desire, but he also cherished the time they had to dance together. The corners of Julian’s lips curled up slightly as he continued to hold her waist and moved gently to the rhythm of the music. “My wife,” he called again. Annalise’s blush deepened. She couldn’t look at him. “I enjoy spending my time with you.” Julian’s voice was low and husky. He had never said such a thing to a girl before. “Me too,” Annalise said.
• “I want to spend the rest of my life with you,” Julian spoke again. With that, he stopped dancing and gently lifted Annalise’s chin so that she could look at him. His eyes, as dark as obsidian, studied her face, waiting for her answer. Annalise was forced to meet Julian’s eyes. She looked at him warmly and said, “Me too.”
