Chapter 97
The wind was bitingly cold at night Julie could not help but shiver, subconsciously shrinking into her clothes.
She stretched out a hand as she exhaled a breath of warm air, watching the white cloud of her breath dissipate quickly into the air.
“It might snow tonight,” she mumbled to herself.
Before she had even finished speaking, thin snowflakes were already starting to fall from the sky.
A snowflake landed on her outstretched hand, instantly melting from the warmth of her hand and leaving behind a momentary coldness.
Seeing this, Lucian walked up and reached out to hold her hand, saying gently, “Let’s head in. It’s too cold outside”
He casually tossed his keys to the valet at the entrance, then walked into the clubhouse hand in hand with her.
Julie’s eyes were unconsciously drawn to their entwined hands.
His hand was big and warm…
Her hand, which had still been a little cold, warmed up instantly.
As she felt the warmth from his palm, a sudden thought occurred to her.
If she could hold his hand like this forever, would she feel really happy?
She probably would.
For a moment, Julle completely forgot to retract her own hand and silently allowed Lucian to continue holding it.
“We’re here,” said Lucian, interrupting Julie’s train of thought.
Julie quickly pulled her hand back in a panic, feeling embarrassed by her own thoughts just now.
For a moment, Lucian’s palm felt empty and he sighed helplessly.
Was Julie that afraid of being seen holding his hand?
He chose not to comment on it and instead pushed open the door of the VIP room.
Jube had assumed that when young men from such a social circle gathered together, they would either be smoking, drinking, or having fun with women. However, when the door opened, the sight was completely different from what she had imagined.
The room was filled with all sorts of sound. There was the sound of people playing games and poker. Occasionally, she could even hear someone call out “three of a kind“.
There was not a single woman present
Julie immediately felt nervous
Suddenly, someone called out, “You’re finally here, Luce!”
In an instant, the entire room became dead silent.
A man wearing a black sweater walked quickly toward them, smiling widely as he greeted Lucian. “Here I was, thinking you weren’t coming after all, Luce. I didn’t think that Blaine was actually telling the truth.”
His gaze then landed on Julie, who was standing next to Lucian, and he could not help but pause in surprise
He looked from Lucian to Julie, then asked in confusion, “Who are y
e you, miss?–
Julie instantly felt quite embarrassed, but before she could reply, Lucian beat her to it. “I brought her here.”
The man was immediately struck dumb. He stared at Lucian with astonishment written all over his face.
“W–What did you say just now, Luce?” be stuttered. “You brought her here?”
Jule greeted him.wowardly. “Hello, my name is Julie Somers I’m-
However, the man suddenly interrupted her before she could finish speaking, “Wait! What did you say your name was?”
Slightly startled, Julie repeated her name.
The moment the man heard her, he immediately became excited and even his voice increased in volume as he exclaimed, “Oh, shit! It’s you! You’re that woman that our Luce can’t stop thinking about!”
Julie could not help feeling embarrassed when she heard this. She subconsciously turned to look at Lucian.
