Chapter 94
The two of them remained in this standoff until filia couldn’t take it anymore and averted her gaze from Harry. She felt surprised. Harry’s gaze was intense as if he could see through her innemast secrets
Harry, however, remained expressionless, and Julia couldn’t read him through his eyes. This feeling of being seen through made her uncomfortable. She couldn’t say she was a smart person compared to Harry, but she couldn’t call herself dumb either. All she could say was that her intelligence probably couldn’t match Harry’s
Tm going to take a shower. Do whatever you want.” Julia said hastily, picking up her clothes and rushing into the bathroom. After she was away from Harry, she could truly relax. She undressed and turned on the shower.
The sound of water drowned out their voices. Even though Julia was in the shower, she made sure to lock the bathroom door. It wasn’t that she was worried Harry would suddenly barge in, but it was an instinctual action because she didn’t trust Harry.
Or maybe she didn’t trust men. After witnessing her mother misplace her feelings, Julia found it hard to believe in true love. In her eyes, men were all heamless and unfaithful.
She thought wasting emotions on men was the stupidest thing a woman could do. Not only would it not bring happiness, but it could also ruin her happiness. There were countless possibilities in life, and as long as she avoided men, julia believed her life would be peaceful and happy.
At least she didn’t have to experience betrayal, sadness, and disappointment.
Julia was immersed in her world and forgot how long she had been in the bathtub. It wasn’t until she heard a knock on the door that she snapped out of her reverie. Harry’s lows, hoarse voice came from outside, startling Julia, who quickly got up from the bathtub.
In the mirror, her naked body looked even more flawless under the light. The hint of blush on her checks made her look like she was wearing rouge, incredibly alluring
Julia?” Harry thought she hadn’t heard him, so he raised his voice and called her name again. Still not getting a response, he continued. “If you don’t speak, I’ll come in. Are you fainting in there!”
I’ll be out soon.
Hearing that Harry was about to come in Julia quickly splashed cold water on her face and hurriedly replied. “I’m fine. I
Then, the bathroom door opened, and
an arm reached out Julia said embarrassedly, “I grabbed the wrong clothes earlier. Can you help me get them!”
Not to mention grabbing
wrong
clothes, she even left her towel outside, so she couldn’t come out now because she had nothing to cover herself
Harry frowned and approached the door. “What did you say?”
“Could you help me get my clothes? I grabbed the wrong ones earlier. Julia raised her voice reluctantly.
However, Harry asked again, making Julia realize that Harry was intentionally being difficult. He clearly heard everything but pretended not to.
“What do you want me to get? Harry asked seriously, without any intention of teasing Julia, which only made her more frustrated.
Julia took frequent deep breaths and gritted her teeth. “Harry, could you please help me get my clothes!”
Harry knew when to stop teasing and obediently went to help Julia get her clothes. As he handed them to her, Julia’s hand suddenly retracted, as if afraid of being teased by him.
Julia’s actions completely annused Harry, and laughter filled the room, audible even to Julia in the bathroom. But she had no choice. She couldn’t stay in the bathroom all night and leave the bed for Harry to sleep in. No matter what, she couldn’t compromise herself. That was Julia’s principle.
Julia came out after changing her clothes, and Harry once again put on a righteous appearance. But only naive girls would be deceived. Mature women like Julia wouldn’t believe Harry was truly a gentleman
“You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be a gentleman in from of women. It makes me sick, Julia muttered under her breath.
Suddenly, Harry glared at Julia, causing her to shut up. “What did you say?” Harry, who had his back to Julia, turned around to face her directly, coldly questioning her, Julia felt guilty for cursing Harry, so she played it off casually. “I didn’t say anything. I just said I lost track of time while bathing.”
Indeed, Julia had spent almost an hour in the bathroom, so it was understandable that Harry was worried she might have fainted.
Julia hadn’t dried her hair yet, and it was still dripping. The water droplets trickled down her neck, lingering at the neckline of her clothes for a few seconds before slowly flowing down.
Julia didn’t notice this, but to Harry, it was a significant visual impact, Without makeup, her natural beauty made her even more alluring, and she was unaware of how tempting she was to him.

Chapter 94
Julia dried her hair while walking to the dressing table. She ualdenly noticed Harry’s gaze fixed on her through the mirror. She immediately lowered her head to check if there was anything wrong with her outfit, feeling a bit exposed.
After confirming that everything was normal and she was appropriately dressed, she sighed in relief.
Rolling her eyes at Harry through the mirror, she continued to fix her hair, but Harry was still looking at her. His gaze had became so intense that Julia felt ensy. His gare felt like the searching midday sun, burning into her back, making her feel uncomfortable. She even felt the urge to kick Harry out
Having never been in love and only seen it on TV, Julia knew what was going through a man’s mind when he stared at a woman with such intensity
Turning off the hairdryer, Julia tightly gripped her collar and turned to face Harry defensively. “Do you know what you look like right now?”
Harry asked, “Like what?”
“Like a pervert, encountering a beautiful woman on a lonely night and wanting to harass her, Julia said slowly, each word changing Harry’s expression.
A handsome man like Harry being called a pervert was unexpected.
Harry realized he had been a bit out of line earlier, so he didn’t argue with Julia. But Julia wouldn’t let it go. “Your silence implies consent. I remember someone once confidently claimed that my appearance and figure wouldn’t provoke any reaction even if I were naked in bed”
Harry’s mouth twitched, completely taken aback that Julia remembered that incident.
Julia continued. “Well, it seems men’s words are never true. They say women are insincere, but I think men are the same. They lie without changing
their expressions. I bet getting exposed doesn’t feel too good now.”
