Chapter 189 - Julian's Gaze

Just as Qiara was about to walk away, Julian smiled as he pulled her arm and Qiara was shocked and fell on Julian's lap.

Qiara looked up at Julian's handsome face who was looking at her, instantly Qiara's heart raced faster when she felt Julian's burly hands tightly hugging her waist.

"Julian, what are you doing?". Qiara asked, cheeks flushed with embarrassment. 

Julian's eyes narrowed sharply at Qiara who was on his lap and his black bead glistened when he was exposed to the slight reflection of the restaurant's bright and silent lights because all the diners had Julian asked to leave. 

The light shines right on his beautiful bead, Julian is still silent, not giving an answer to Qiara's question. 

Seeing that beautiful gaze, Qiara immediately swallowed her saliva deeply. 

"Khem ...".

A moment later Qiara cleared her throat a little hard so that Julian would stop trapping her with his death gaze that always managed to soften Qiara's anger. 

"Khemm .. Julian, what are you doing? Hurry up and let me go! Because people are unsightly!".

Finally, Qiara's voice came out smoothly even though it was a little hoarse with nervousness. Seeing the nervous Qiara, Julian seemed to raise an eyebrow but his eyes were still on Qiara. 

"Here there are only the two of us. So, why shame?". Julian answered with a flat expression. 

"I'm thirsty, because the weather is suddenly hot". Said Qiara darkly. 

Julian smiled in his heart at what Qiara said, because in fact the restaurant air was so cold.

Without saying anything, Julian immediately held out the glass he took on the table. 

"Drink!". Exclaimed Julian after releasing Qiara from his lap. 

Qiara immediately took the glass and stood on the chair opposite Julian.

"Sit down first! I need to talk to you before we go home!".

Hearing Julian's order, Qiara immediately sat down obediently across Julian's seat without arguing with him. 

Somehow she always forgot her anger every time Julian gave her a look like that. 

"Tomorrow you have to accompany my business trip, we are going to America for one week". Said Julian casually. 

Hearing what Julian said, Qiara immediately widened her eyes. 

"What? Why do you have to ask me? Don't you know that I just entered college? Will I not be labeled as a lazy student if I have to skip class for one week?".

"You have to come because one of my clients wants to meet my wife. Because he also brought his wife". Julian explained.

"But tomorrow I have a quiz. So, I can't possibly miss my first quiz!".

Hearing Qiara trying to find an excuse while groggily sipping water from her glass, Julian immediately looked at Qiara's face with a sharp and terrifying face, the gaze was able to make the grumpy Qiara to her knees.

"I've contacted the campus and asked permission for you and they immediately allowed you and eliminated the quiz".

Qiara was immediately at a loss for words and started to feel frustrated, she wanted to fight back but she didn't want to be punished anymore. Instantly, Qiara thought that Julian was actually her husband or her boss who had to be obeyed at all times?

But she was not surprised by the campus who gave permission so easily, because she already knew that her husband had a strong influence on campus. 

"All right, I take your silence as a sign of agreement, tomorrow morning at 10 we will go. You don't have to bother, just sleep tonight because the waiter has prepared your clothes in the suitcase". Julian explained. 

"Well, now we're going home so you can rest!". Julian continued, standing up from his seat. 

"Yes". Qiara replied, nodding obediently. 

Not long after that, the two of them left the restaurant.

On the way home, Qiara devised so many plans to protest to Julian because she had punished him, and also she had gathered the energy to get angry with Julian. In addition, she advised herself not to look into Julian's eyes, who has always been her weakness. 

During their journey they were silent, several times Qiara yawned from sleepiness. But she persisted so as not to sleep. She was afraid that Julian would do bad things while she was sleeping. 

The night was getting late, they finally arrived home at 11 pm, ignoring Qiara, Julian walked away from her.

But he stopped and turned to look at Qiara who was still walking slowly behind him. 

"Oh yeah, do you want to sleep in my room now?". Julian asked expressionlessly. 

"I don't want". Qiara replied sarcastically.

"No need to be embarrassed like that, haven't you often slept in my room?". Julian teased with a sly smile. 

"What do you mean by sleeping in my room? Have you slept in different rooms all this time?".

Hearing the voice coming from the living room, Julian and Qiara were surprised to see Sarah, who was none other than Julian's mother, who was standing looking at them with a complicated face. 

"Mama, why are you suddenly here? When are you coming home?". Julian asked, confused. 

"Forget why Mama is here, now explain what you said earlier!". Sarah said with a dark expression. 

Actually, Sarah came at 8 o'clock earlier because she wanted to have dinner with her daughter-in-law and her son, but unfortunately she didn't find them at home.

Even so, Sarah didn't want to tell them and forbade the maid to tell Julian that she was at home. 

Hearing his mother's question, Julian immediately turned his head at Qiara ignorantly. 

Realizing that ignorant gaze, Qiara could already guess that it was a bad address for her.

"Julian, answer Mama! Do you and Qiara sleep in different rooms?". Sarah asked irritably again.

Meanwhile Qiara was silent and didn't know what to say, because if her mother-in-law knew, of course her mother would also know. 

"Tonight Qiara was cranky so she didn't want to sleep in my room and the matter of different rooms was true. But it happened when Qiara was menstruating. I was afraid I could not stop myself sleeping beside her". Julian explained.

"Wow ... I just found out that this perverted man can also lie. But the reason is quite reasonable. Hopefully my mother-in-law believes". Inner Qiara grinning at Julian.

"Is that true?". Sarah asked again, turning towards Qiara, who was considered more honest. 

"Hahaha ... What Julian said is true Ma, so that Mama will believe, now we will sleep in our room because I no longer sulk with Julian".. Qiara replied while hugging Julian to be more convincing.
