Chapter 25
Whitney laughed and continued, “If you never brought me to meet your parents, then I wouldn’t be recognized as your wife. would I? I was even afraid that you were lying to me when you said we’ve registered our marriage officially and that you just wanted me to be your secret mistress.”
Julius was happy to hear her cutesy voice, but he was even happier to hear these words.
So it turned out that he wasn’t the only one who felt insecure. Whitney was also afraid that he might leave her.
That thought made him feel less upset, but he also quickly replied, “I didn’t lie to you. We’re officially married.”
“I never intended for you to be my secret mistress. How could bear to do such a thing to you?”
He sounded anxious and nervous when he said these words, but he didn’t sound cautious anymore, which made Whitney breathe a sigh of relief inwardly.
Of course they were officially married. In her previous life, she had left Julius with two official documents. One was her marriage certificate and the other was her divorce decree.
“I’ve never seen our marriage certificate before, so how would I now?” Whitney tried her best to stop him from instinctively apologizing to her and believing everything was his fault.
“We really have one. If you want to see it, I’ll show it to you once we get home.
He didn’t dare to tell her that he was afraid that she would suddenly want to divorce him after seeing the certificate. Keeping it away from her made him feel thore at peace.
“Don’t forget your promise!” Whitney remembered that they took a photo together that day too and really wanted to take a look at it–She had burned it without looking at it in her previous life
Just then, Whitney’s phone suddenly started ringing, which shocked both of them since they had been speaking so seriously to one another in such a quiet place. When Whitney saw who was calling, her relaxed expression immediately became
serious.
Julius noticed the change in her expression but didn’t say anything about it.
Whitney picked up the phone, listened to what the other party sud, then replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll update it once I get back. Yes, yes, I promise. Don’t worry.”
“I had to attend to some urgent matters earlier this week, so I couldn’t hand in my work on time. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure I’m on time from now on. Thanks for the call, bye. After hanging up, Whitney looked a little unsure of what to do next.
“What’s wrong?” asked Julius concernedly.
“The editor of my ongoing online novel called to chase me for new chapters.” This was a project she worked on before the time of her rebirth. In her previous life, she had given up on this novel to focus on writing more scripts for Irvin, so she never finished writing this novel.
Besides, by this time, Julius had also confiscated her phone, so she would never have received this phone call either.
After Whitney finished her explanation, she realized it was a little too vague for Julius to possibly understand, since they had been married for such a short time. There was no way he knew anything about this side project of hers.
So she added, “When I was studying overseas, I took a fancy to write novels, so
Before she could finish her sentence, Julius said in a relaxed tone “I know.”

Chapter 95
“You know?” Whitney was surprised by his response. She didn’t pect him to know about this too, since she stopped writing ever since they got married. Didn’t that mean
Julius just smiled and didn’t explain how he knew. He asked, ‘So you need to go home now?”
Whitney was in a dilemma now. She had promised Jacqueline that she would stay the night, but if she didn’t go back to look at the previous chapters saved on her laptop, she wasn’t able to write a proper continuation.
Only three months had passed since she last uploaded a chapter in this life, but it had been two whole years since she actually wrote anything for this book.
“But if we go back now, what are we going to tell Mom?” It isn’t re to go back on a promise to her mother–in–law on their first meeting.
Whitney suddenly thought of an idea. “Tell you what. Could you ask someone to fetch my laptop from the house?”
When her laptop was finally delivered to the house, Whitney started it up and logged into her author’s account. The last chapter she published had a long string of comments asking for when the next update would be, and the most recent comments were put up just a few hours ago.
Julius knew that Whitney needed a very quiet space to do her creative writing, so he sat down next to her and began looking through company documents that he had asked Eugene to bring along with Whitney’s laptop.
After some time, Julius‘ phone rang, so he walked out of the room to take the call.
“Alright, we can afford another 0.5% cut. Also..“Julius continued giving instructions to the person on the phone and didn’t notice that someone was approaching him
