Bethany was aware of what she was up to and firmly blocked her way. “I’m sorry, Miss Powers, but someone is already taking care of Young Master Julian. It’s not a good time for you to disturb them.”
“It must be Jessie! Why can she stay with him, but I can’t?” Lisa scoffed, feeling a sense of injustice. “Well…” Bethany was at a loss for words.
Just then, Vincent arrived. He happened to turn a corner and hear Lisa making a scene, so he answered, “Jessie is Julian’s girlfriend, so of course, she has to stay with him.”
Lisa’s eyes instantly filled with jealousy. What? Jessie is Julian’s girlfriend? How cunning! Besides, Vincent is the one to say this, so it must be true. In that case, Jessie will be a part of the Gilmore Family in the future! Now that she has Julian, all of her future resources will be at her disposal!
“It seems Miss Silverstein is quite the charmer if she managed to win Julian’s heart so quickly!” Lisa commented snidely.
Vincent had intended to visit Julian, but since he was asleep, he could only leave. “Bethany, I’ll visit again tomorrow.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lisa immediately seized the opportunity and said, “Director Cooper, I’ll go with you.”
At one in the morning, Jessie was asleep when she felt someone putting a blanket over her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Julian crouching by the edge of her bed, looking at her tenderly.
“You’re awake.” Jessie quickly sat up. She reached over to touch his forehead and felt that his fever had subsided while his body temperature was back to normal.
Julian reached out and took her hand in his, his eyes filled with an emotion she could not decipher.
“I’ll take you back to the hotel to rest.”
“No, you can’t leave the hospital yet,” Jessie refused. She was worried that his fever would recur and wanted him to be hospitalized and monitored.
“I’m already fine, but you can’t be mistreated.” Julian looked at her sleeping in the small bed in distress. Not only was the mattress hard, but she also didn’t have any room to roll over.
“How is this being mistreated? This is good enough. I’ll have you know, I once slept on the floor for two years!” Jessie smiled. She wasn’t that spoiled of a child.
At her words, the pain in Julian’s eyes intensified, and he held her hand. “You suffered too much in the past. You must not suffer any more in the future.”
Jessie blinked. “I’m fine; a little hardship is nothing. Being mistreated isn’t a big deal either. I—”
“But some people will be worried,” Julian interrupted.
Jessie wasn’t playing dumb, but she wasn’t sure if he was the one who would be worried about her, so she could only ask, “Whom are you talking about?”
Julian sighed. “It’s me, of course.”
Instantly, Jessie’s heart warmed. She pursed her lips, but the joy she felt overflowed from her eyes, and she bashfully averted her gaze. “Why would you be worried about me?”
“What do you think?” Julian countered.
“I don’t know.” How could she have the nerve to yearn for his affection?
Julian didn’t want to confess his feelings like this, but this girl was just too dense, so he could only explain everything thoroughly. He reached out and nudged the tip of her nose. “Of course, I’m worried about you because I like you. Don’t you understand?”
Jessie felt her heart stop at his words. She had never expected to be able to receive a confession from Julian at a time like this. Did I save humanity in my previous life?
“Really? Then, thank you for being so worried about me,” Jessie said thankfully, feeling warm on the inside.
“Pack your things. Let’s go back to the hotel.” Still, Julian didn’t want her to sleep in the hospital bed and wanted to take her back to the hotel.
As Jessie had woken up, she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep again for some time, so she got up and packed her bag, then opened the door, only to see Bethany and Harper were sleeping on each side of the bench opposite them. Upon hearing the noise, they both woke up at the same time.
“Young Master Julian, are we going back?”
“Yeah! We’re going back to the hotel.” After speaking, Julian reached out and held Jessie’s hand.
Bethany and Harper exchanged glances. It seems that Young Master Julian’s hospitalization helped develop their relationship relatively quickly.
The group silently exited the hospital and entered the nanny van to return to the hotel.
As Jessie didn’t have a room card in her bag, she sent a message to Lexie. However, Lexie was probably fast asleep, so she never replied to Jessie’s message.
Julian looked at Jessie’s worried expression before saying, “Then, sleep in my guest room for the night.” “No. I’ll only disturb your rest.” She was determined not to disturb his rest and firmly rejected the suggestion.
At that, the man held his forehead and sighed softly. “I’m alright with being disturbed by you. Just go to sleep in my room!” “Still—”
“No buts. Just sleep in my room tonight,” Julian commented in an authoritative voice and did not give her a chance to refuse.
Hence, Jessie could only nod obediently. “Okay.” At the hotel, Bethany and Harper sent them to the entrance and promptly left.
Jessie followed Julian into the room. It was midnight, and the hotel room lights were dim and ambiguous. As she was nervous, she sat on the sofa and looked around.
It was the first time she shared a room with a man, let alone a man whom she liked. “Have a glass of water.” Julian fetched a glass for her. Since he had a cold, he couldn’t share the drink.
Jessie took the glass as she asked with concern, “You’re tired and worn out. Shouldn’t you have a rest now?”
“I’m not tired.” After Julian said that, he sat next to her. Then, he looked at the television and asked, “Want to watch a movie?”
“Yeah! Let’s watch the movie you starred in,” Jessie looked up, her expression filled with interest.
However, Julian refused her outright. “No.”
“But I want to watch it. I want to see that movie where you and Lisa Powers are in it. Your acting in that movie is excellent,” she praised.
Julian did not want to watch that movie with Jessie as he thought she wouldn’t be happy when she watched him fall in love with another woman in the film.
He was even thinking of making her leave the biz after filming the current movie because he couldn’t stand the idea of her being in the same scene with other male stars.
“Let’s watch a football match,” he said to her.
Jessie had no objections, as she was okay with anything except sleeping. She really couldn’t sleep anymore.
He selected a football channel. Although she couldn’t understand anything, she felt happy just looking at the handsome men in the match.
Meanwhile, Julian leaned against the sofa. He stretched his arm and naturally leaned behind Jessie. In the end, his hand landed on her shoulder, and he hugged her.
Jessie’s heart was pounding. She knew Julian wanted to hug her, so she shyly went along with him and inched closer.
