Chapter 204 - Julian's Weird Attitude

Qiara's face immediately turned dark, her cheeks began to turn red with embarrassment. She felt sorry that she didn't look around before chatting with her mother. 

"Aren't you going to take a shower?". Julian asked expressionlessly when he saw Qiara silent and lowered her head. 

"Are you blind? Can't you see I'm using a towel? That means I'm going to take a shower". Qiara replied curtly. 

"Alright, take a shower there? Why are you even stunned like being possessed?". Said Julian. 

"Yes, I am indeed possessed. But possessed by a perverted genie like you". Qiara said as she stomped her foot. After that she immediately went into the bathroom annoyed.

"A perverted genie? Is that why she's been so brave lately to tease me?". Julian thought as he rolled his eyes to find the answer to his question. 

Somehow a smart person like Julian is suddenly weird just because he has a strange and angry wife like Qiara.

"Have you done?". Julian asked when he saw that Qiara was neat. 

"Already". Qiara replied without seeing Julian behind him sitting watching her. 

"All right. Come out together! Everyone is waiting at the dining table!". exclaimed Julian, standing up and approaching Qiara. 

After that Julian pulled Qiara out without heeding Qiara's opinion. Even so, she did not protest and followed Julian obediently. Because this is the house of her in-laws. 

The dining room. 

Not long after that, the two of them arrived at the dining room. Instantly Qiara is surprised to see Jonathan sitting next to Sarah. 

"'This is a matter of name, that insolent brother-in-law is here. Looks like he wants to be slapped, luckily this is my mother-in-law's house". Inner Qiara while looking down. 

"Qiara dear ... Come sit near Mama!".

Hearing Sarah's call, Qiara immediately looked up at her mother-in-law. 

"Khem ...". Julian smiled slightly at Qiara's annoyed expression when she saw Jonathan.

"Yes Ma!". Qiara replied as she sat next to Sarah, while Julian sat beside Jonathan.

"Sister-in-law, let's eat! I'll finish it ...". Said Jonathan, smiling slyly at Qiara. 

Jonathan's voice broke the atmosphere when Qiara, who was still silent, stared at her plate. She's really uncomfortable with Jonathan around. Moreover, Jonathan started teasing her with an annoying smile.

"Yes ...". Qiara replied while taking the rice. 

Just then she glanced at Julian who was sitting quietly eating his meal, as if he didn't care about the cold war between himself and Jonathan. 

Jonathan is Julian's younger brother who looks the most like his mother. He is handsome and also sweet like Sarah's lips. 

"Dear Qiara. Recommend, this is Julian's brother Jhonatan. He is funny and also likes to joke, besides that he is very sociable, unlike Julian who is more like Papa". Sarah said introducing Jonathan who she thought was the first time he met Qiara. 

"Qiara already knows Ma". Qiara replied with a smile.

"Really? When?". Sarah asked in surprise. 

"We went to the same place". Qiara replied with a little pride. 

"Wow ... Good then. So, when Julian can't look after you on campus, there is still Jonathan who will defend you, right honey?". Sarah said, glancing at Jonathan.

"Oh, yes. Hehe ..". Jonathan nodded at his mother with a bitter smile.

"Why should I also take care of this owl? My brother is really unfortunate to have a wife like her. If one campus knows, I can tease me". Jonathan thought as he chewed his food irritably. 

Meanwhile, Qiara began to feel an air that made her even more uncomfortable, not because of Jonathan or Sarah, but because of Julian himself. She was suspicious of Julian's gaze which occasionally stole glances at her. Qiara wondered if Julian wanted to tease her?

After eating, they gathered in the living room chatting, while Julian seemed to have a life of his own because he was just silent while reading the newspaper. Jonathan only smiled bitterly when accompanying the two women with very different ages. He really wanted to go, but Sarah pressed his hand to accompany her to chat with Qiara.

Night fell, Julian and Qiara were again detained to stay overnight. Because it was uncomfortable, Qiara persuaded Julian to stay overnight. After being persuaded for a long time, Julian finally nodded silently. 

The night was getting late, right in the middle of the night, Qiara woke up feeling thirsty. 

"Umm ... where Julian? Why isn't he next to me? Didn't he sleep beside me? Or am I the one who forgot?". Inner Qiara while scratching her neck. 

After drinking, Qiara got out of bed curious about Julian's whereabouts. In addition, Julian made her confused because from eating to bedtime, Julian did not talk or hug her as usual. Qiara thought her husband was having a problem or was feeling bored with her. 

Not long after, Qiara walked out of her room. 

Outside the room, the lights are only turned on in less bright lighting. Just when Qiara was going down the stairs because her room and Julian were on the second floor. Suddenly, Qiara saw a flashing light and an open door from a room at the very corner.

Initially Qiara wanted to return to her room because she was still sleepy. However, after she wrestled with her thoughts. Qiara decided to keep going, relying on her confidence that there was nothing in the room. Because to be honest, Qiara was afraid of ghosts the most, which was why she didn't dare to watch horror films. 

"It's like a study, but why isn't there anyone in it? Could it be ....". Just then, Qiara heard footsteps from behind her. Instantly the hair on her neck got goosebumps and her body shook too. 

"Looks like there is a ghost in this house, I want to run but my legs are hard to move". Inner Qiara with eyes starting to turn red. 

"Aaaa ...". Qiara shouted when she felt her burly hand touch her shoulder. Instantly her mouth was shut.

"Ummm ...". Qiara also tried to rampage and glanced at the person who silenced her. 

However, she could not see it because the light was not very bright, and it was not long before she was brought into the room. 

"Ummm ...". Qiara was still trying to escape even though they had arrived in the room. 

"Auhhh ...". groaned the man because his hand was bitten. 

Qiara immediately turned around to give a punch.. However, her fist was caught by the man.
