The letter was delivered by Patrick, which meant that Patrick had no idea that this letter was in the pocket of her trench coat.
Juliette read the letter and could almost imagine that the sender had an evil intention.
She had no curiosity about digging up Patrick’s secrets.
After all, Patrick was now her husband, and she had plenty of time and opportunity to get to know him.
But now, this letter really bothered her.
She only saw Patrick in his movies and TV shows when she was alive. When her soul left her body after she passed away last life, she saw him in person for the first time. She didn’t know his real situation at all.
Juliette melted the letter in water, tore it into pieces, and flushed it down the drain. Then she adjusted her expression and walked out of the bathroom.
Patrick was standing on the balcony while enjoying the breeze.
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly outside.
The words of Juliette’s family were still ringing in his ears. He always thought he didn’t care if a woman was a virgin or not. But now he realized that he was not Juliette’s first man, and he couldn’t help but feel angry when he thought about how her family had described her.
The TV was shut down, and he could no longer see the faces of Juliette’s family, but his heart was still in turmoil.
“Who brought the clothes?” Juliette came over from the living room but hid behind the white curtain. The sun was too harsh.
Patrick turned around. Although she was standing in the shadow, her skin was still glowing.
Patrick was overwhelmed by her beauty.
Just one look at her and he wanted to be close to her, to caress her, to possess her.
He strode over and took Juliette in his arms. “I had Stuart send it, but I told him your size.
Patrick held her and walked towards the balcony before deliberately exposing her to the sun, but he could feel Juliette struggling.
He simply stopped, wrapped her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, “Why are you afraid of the sun? Why are you afraid of anything warm?”
Juliette pursed her lips, unable to speak.
After a while, she looked up at Patrick’s eyes. “Is the answer a prerequisite for marriage?”
“No, I was just thinking that since we’re married, we should be honest with each other.”
“Will you tell me everything?”
Patrick’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, so quickly that no one could catch his subtle expression.

He changed the subject. “You just asked who sent the clothes. What’s wrong with them? Don’t you like the style?
“What is your relationship with Stuart? Is he someone you trust very much?” Juliette asked.
She decided not to talk about whether the content of the letter was credible for now.
Stuart put the letter into her clothes pocket and hid it from Patrick. However, Patrick seemed to absolutely trust Stuart.
Otherwise, Patrick would not have failed to notice the envelope in the pocket,
This meant that there was a traitor beside Patrick.
Patrick said solemnly, “Yes. Stuart is the person I trust most in the world.”
Patrick noticed the slightest expression on her face and asked, “Do you suspect him? What did he do?”

Juliette did not answer the question but asked, “When I came here just now, I saw you leaning against the windowsill. What were you thinking about?”
Patrick answered, “It seems I asked you first.”
The atmosphere between them suddenly became cold and stiff, as if they had their own secrets from each other, and then they suspected each other. They both wanted to protect themselves, and they both hoped that the other would be the first to confess.
They could both feel this atmosphere.
Finally, Patrick reached out to caress Juliette’s cheeks, her skin as smooth as congealed fat.
However, with just a touch, his heart was already swaying, and a strange feeling arose.
He thought, ‘Such a beautiful woman was once Finn’s fiancée, but how could Finn still fool around with Bianca? Finn must be blind.‘
Patrick sneered inwardly.
At the same time, he also realized that even though Finn had messed around with Bianca, he had truly possessed Juliette
once.
The mere fact that Finn had possessed her was enough to make Patrick feel a jealousy so fierce that he had never expected
- it.
He just wanted to completely possess Juliette.
He closed his eyes to suppress the turbulent emotions in his eyes, for fear of frightening Juliette.
Unintentionally, the distance between them narrowed.
He bent over slightly, almost face to face with Juliette, their breaths mingling, hurried and erratic.
Unable to control himself, he fiercely kissed Juliette’s pale ear and felt the woman in his arms tremble.
Patrick curled his lips in satisfaction. “The Vaughn family is fighting back. They’re saying you’ve been fooling around with men since you were eighteen and used the same wording as your mother did at the wedding yesterday.
“However, they also said that when you were eighteen, you injured Mrs. Vaughn, causing her to have a mental breakdown.”

Juliette stiffened for a moment before thinking, ‘Is Patrick testing me? Is he digging into what happened when I was eighteen?‘
She was like a person whose fatal weakness had been seized, momentarily unsure of how to respond.
She thought, ‘What kind of answer is the right answer?
“The Vaughn family disclosed this information to save face for themselves.
‘However, the content they released is a challenge to the relationship between Patrick and me.
“The marriage between us is too fragile.
The next second, she raised her hands to Patrick’s chest, pushed him away a little, and looked into his eyes.
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on her lips. She joked, “I heard people say that you killed a man in a cruel way before, and you were not very old at that time. Is this true?”
This time, it was Patrick’s turn to stiffen.
But he was a top actor and quickly adjusted his facial expression.
He looked calm and breezy as if nothing had happened.
He was elegant and indifferent, and all his actions were very casual as if Juliette’s question was just a chat at the dinner table. After a few seconds, he asked, “Are you worried that I am that kind of person and will hurt you someday?”
Juliette, “And you? You repeated what the Vaughn family said to me because you were worried I would hurt you?”
Patrick’s fingers slid between hers, their hands clasped together. He said, “What you heard is false. There was no such thing.”
“How convenient. The Vaughn family is just trying to slander me. Breaking off the engagement with the Montgomery family hurt their interests. Only by smearing me can their actions seem justified.”
Patrick looked into her eyes. Her eyes were as clear as a mirror, but there was a hint of coldness in them.
Patrick knew she was lying. At least, part of it was a lie.
He felt that Polly must have gone insane because of her.
Realizing this, Patrick wrapped his arms around Juliette’s slender waist, pulled her against him, and kissed her fiercely.
He thought, ‘My wife is apparently a little dangerous.
