Chapter 547

Julien answered calmly without hesitation. He was so straightforward that it made Helen question herself. Was she being too hasty? They had only been dating for a short while, and she was already thinking about marriage. Anyone else might feel uneasy too. Their relationship was still in its early stages—was he afraid of being tied down? She recalled their first time doing the deed. He hadn't been smug about the fact that it was her first time. Instead, he seemed troubled. Was it because he was worried about being entangled with her? Once Helen thought it through, it was as if a bucket of cold water poured over her. In truth, she couldn't blame Julien since it was also her own fault. She set the flowers aside and took the initiative to lean into his arms. Holding her by the waist, he gently asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing." She shook her head. "I missed you." He didn't respond. The next second, he scooped her up and carried her into the bedroom, kicking the door shut behind him.
