Chapter 35
That can’t be the case. So, just what was Julian trying to do?
Celeste was so, so close to palian
At this moment, they were only two inches apart, and Celeste could clearly feel his breath on her cheeks. His breath tickled her as if he had brushed a feather across her cheeks.
At the same time, Celeste felt warm. All she could feel and think about was Julian.
She couldn’t help but feel scared. So, she quickly placed her hands on his chest and stepped back.
But then, a strong arm grabbed her waist. “Don’t move,” Julian warned her.
Celeste dared not move now and could only let him hold her.
Julian had wanted to see Celeste’s red and swollen face. But when he held her, a refreshing scent filled his senses. Then, he realized that it was the smell of the shampoo she used.
Celeste had just finished talong a bath and was wearing a bathrobe. She smelled really good, and she looked indescribably delicate and charming too. She was the epitome of femininity.
Julian’s gaze darkened, and a hint of passion appeared in his eyes. He felt his blood surging in excitement as his heart raced.
But soon, Julian quickly suppressed his rush of emotion. After all, he didn’t want to scare Celeste away.
After taking a deep breath, he let her go and straightened up. Then, he calmly said, “Your face is really swollen.”
Meanwhile, Celeste was still frozen in shock and only returned to her senses after a while.
So, Julian had leaned in closer to her just to see her slap mark. His actions had actually made her overthink things at that moment. Celeste looked a little embarrassed and blushed slightly. “It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt that much now. The swelling will go away.”
Julian disapproved of Celeste’s lack of care for herself.
Women usually cherished their faces the most, but Celeste didn’t seem to care much. Even if she was good–looking, she couldn’t be this stubbom. Not to mention, that slap mark had ruined her beautiful face.
Julian frowned, pulled Celeste over and forced her to sit on the sofa. Then, he walked to the door and brought over the large bag of mineral water.
He took out a mineral bottle and gently pressed it against Celeste’s face. He coldly said, “Put this on your cheek. It’s just cold, not frozer, so it won’t be uncomfortable.”
Celeste finally understood why Julian had bought the big bag of mineral water.
Apart from feeling amused, she also felt a warmth in her chest.
“Thank you,” she said with a smile.
“You’re welcome.” Julian sat down and watched Celeste soothe her wound with the water bottle.
The room grew quiet, and it made celeste feel awkward.
She thought that she should say something to lighten the atmosphere. However, she was tongue–tied and couldn’t utter a single word.
The memory of Julian holding her in his arms was still on her mind.
Celeste’s cheeks couldn’t help but turn warm and crimson again, and the blush gradually spread to her ears and neck too.
celeste was in a mess and wondered why she had recalled the scene from eather for no BEJSOIL
Julian noticed that something was off and raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Does it hurt? Why is your face tumung
Celeste felt like dying of embarrassment, but she didn’t dare to tell that to Julian. She was afraid that he would think she was gawking at him, so she said, “Well, it Turiva little. Maybe I didn’t feel anything just now because it was numb. Now, it stings when I put the bottle…”
