Marry My Ex’s Uncle After Rebirth by Agatha Barney

Chapter 124

After hanging up, Vincent asked Zane to look into Nancy’s call log before returning to the bed. He held Stephanie tightly as if she were a rare treasure. At that moment, he didn’t feel sleepy at all His gaze was fixed on the dark night. He would never let go of anyone who hurt Stephanie, no matter who they

were.

At the same time, a black Rolls-Royce was on its way to the condominium.

Julianna looked at Graham, who was driving, and cleared her throat. “I need to return to the design studio. This road is heading in the wrong direction.”

Graham remained unfazed. “It’s already past midnight. Are you planning to stay up all night?”

“The designers usually work until around two in the morning at the design studio, Going to bed this early feels inappropriate,” Julianna replied.

Graham looked straight ahead and stated calmly. “So you still have to work so hard despite being the boss. What’s the point of paying your employees then?

Juljanna pursed her lips and replied, “It’s a special period now

“If a business owner works as hard as you, they’ll be exhausted. You must understand the distinction between a boss and an employee,” Graham explained.

Julianna despised being lectured, even if he made sense. She didn’t want to be overwhelmed by his superior attitude. “I prefer it this way. I like it! Now take me back to the design studio!”

Graham locked the car doors. “It’s already late at night. I had gastric a few days ago, and you didn’t even ask about it. Which is more important, your husband or your work?”

Julianna raised an eyebrow. “We are a fake couple!”

“The marriage license is real, with an official seal. Your name is listed as my spouse. I stated from the beginning that I desired a real marriage. We have gotten married for a while now, and other than that kiss the night you ran to find Stephanie, we have not had much interaction.”

When Julianna heard that, she recalled that night. On the day they got married, the Whitlock and Saunders families had dinner together. Graham then cornered her, insisting that they live together or that he move to the Saunders residence with her. Julianna thought it over. If he moved to the Saunders residence, they would undoubtedly share a room, forcing her to sleep next to him. She was afraid he would lose control one day. If Graham couldn’t control himself, she would be in trouble. Their fictitious marriage could end at any time, and she wouldn’t let him take advantage of her. Therefore, she cleverly claimed that she had a condominium close to both the design studio and the Whitlock Group and that moving out would avoid conflicts with their parents’ differing living habits. When Graham agreed, she was overjoyed. After all, she had already decided to use Stephanie as an excuse.

After they went into the condominium, Graham pinned her against the wall and kissed her. Julianna only remembered making advances on Graham and forcing a kiss on him the night she was drugged. Now that she was sober, she was extremely nervous. Graham’s kiss was passionate but not particularly skilled, leaving her lips swollen. In a panic, Julianna pushed him away and fled into the master bedroom as soon as his hand lifted her skirt and moved up her log.

It took her an hour to emerge, having changed into cartoon pajamas that no man would find appealing. When she noticed Graham on the phone by the floor-to-ceiling window, she approached him. Sensing someone approaching, Graham turned and saw her. He hurriedly ended his call with a few perfunctory words and looked at Julianna. “Can we continue?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Julianna cleared her throat and said, “Well, Stephie is upstairs. I want to greet her.”

At that point, Graham finally understood why Julianna insisted on moving there. Before he could say anything. Julianna quickly ran out. She ended staying at Stephanie’s place for several days, leaving Graham and Vincent feeling lonely.

After letting her get away the previous time, Graham wasn’t about to let it happen again

Chapter 124

Julianna felt that she might be at the mercy of him that night. She blinked her eyes. “I’m having my period right now.”

Graham hummed in acknowledgement indifferently.

“Actually, if you need to take care of your lust, you can find someone else,” Julianna suggested.

Abruptly, Graham braked, causing Julianna to jolt and look at him in horror. “What are you doing?” Graham squinted at Julianna, which made her feel like she was the prey of a beast. She gulped nervously and added, “I don’t mind. We’re just married on paper.”

“As I previously stated, the Whitlock family does not allow divorce. So, are you going to remain chaste for someone else?” Graham asked.

Julianna understood his implication. She would most likely be unable to escape Graham for the rest of her life. She also didn’t know who she was saving her chastity for. It was a conflicting thought, given how little she and Graham knew each other, Sleeping in the same bed with a man she had no feelings for felt awkward.

Seeing Julianna lower her head and say nothing, Graham restarted the car and drove toward the condominium. Once the car was parked in the basement, they got out, and Graham walked ahead with Julianna following. Suddenly, he stopped, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her forward. Julianna tried to break free but couldn’t. After entering the elevator, she nervously looked at his cold side profile, her heart racing. “I’m really on my period,” she

said.

Graham remained silent, which made Julianna nervous. When the elevator door opened, he led her out, unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and pushed her against the door once they were inside. “Do you know the consequences of lying to me?” he asked.

She replied, “I’m not lying.”

His

ss cut off her words. In the darkness, only a little moonlight penetrated through the narrow gaps of the curtains and shone on them. Graham pressed Julianna on the couch, his once passionate kiss turning gentle, wat, and warm. Julianna found herself momentarily entranced, wrapping her

arms around his neck.

Then, Graham’s fingers slid under her skirt, and he tutted, “Where’s your pad? You lied.”

Instantly, Julianna’s mind cleared. In her panic, she pinched him.

Graham grunted, looked into her angry eyes, and laughed. “Julianna, you’re ruthless.”

“Stop taking advantage of me!” Julianna huffed.

“Didn’t you feel anything just now?” Graham teased, rubbing his fingers together.

Blushing, Julianna pushed him away forcefully and fled to the bedroom, locking the door.

Graham, sprawled on the carpet, stared at the closed door. Inside, he could hear Julianna shouting, “Graham, you are shameless! I’m never coming back! I want a divorce!”

Graham clenched his teeth. He would never divorce her. He got up and went to the guest room, heading straight to the bathroom.

Julianna dashed into the bathroom after venting her rage, staring at her flushed face in the mirror as if she had been bullied. She was embarrassed that Graham had aroused her and thought, ‘D a m n it! I’m p**d off!’ She wanted to vent to someone, but her phone was in her handbag, which was left at the entrance. She approached the door, opened a c a c k, and looked outside. When she noticed Graham was not in the living room, she dashed out. After getting her handbag and turning around, she ran into Graham. Her heart raced as she pressed against the wall and scurried back to the bedroom.

Graham was amused to see her frantically avoiding him. “Julianna, with that marriage certificate, you’re mine forever. You’ll never escape,” he uttered.

Julianna was speechless. That night, she couldn’t sleep at all and spent her time scrolling through her phone. As dawn approached, she was stunned by
