Part 3Time Travel with My Husband

Julian froze, the expression on his face went blank.

He swallowed the lychee flesh whole, looking like he wanted to explain, but opened his mouth without saying anything.

I hurriedly stood up to control the situation:

"Me! I am his wifey, he's calling me!"

Caleb and Julian looked over at the same time.

Especially Caleb's gaze, so cold it could flay me alive.

I clenched my palms, withstanding the pressure to look back:

"Is there a problem?"

Julian smiled: "No problem, baby."

He even had the mind to explain to me: "Caleb is a more traditional person, we haven't confirmed a marital relationship, so me calling you wifey unauthorized probably seems inappropriate to him. He has no malice."

Saying that, Julian even threw a teasing look at Caleb across the air:

"Come on man, why are you managing our couple's business."

Caleb's face turned even darker.

Afraid he would say something shocking, I quickly stood up:

"Suddenly remembered something, I might have to go first."

Julian held my hand: "What is it?"

I recalled the situation I might have been in three years ago and made up a lie: "My advisor said there's a problem with my thesis!"

"Then I'll take you there," Julian said immediately, standing up.

I was terrified: "That's not necessary, right?"

"Silly baby?" Julian pinched my face intimately, "Your laptop is still at my place, how is it not necessary."

This time I was really silly.

After all, I really didn't remember what happened three years ago today, let alone my laptop being at Julian's place.

I could only bite the bullet and go along:

"Haha, look at my brain, hahaha..."

"Silly piggy."

Julian said goodbye to everyone, paid the bill, and held my hand walking to the parking lot.

My phone dinged.

At the top was an unread message from an unknown number.

A simple and clear question mark:

[?]

I felt inexplicably guilty, knowing at a glance it was from Caleb.

While worrying about how to reply, Julian brought a bottle of water, unscrewed it and handed it to me: "Are you okay? Is it tiring today?"

My body wasn't tired, but my heart was super tired!

I got a headache just thinking about the situation just now.

I smiled awkwardly: "It's okay."

"Looks like meeting the parents has to be pushed back," Julian said with a smile, "My parents have been saying they want to meet you, I've pushed it back several times."

Looking at Julian's profile, I inexplicably connected it to the reason for our breakup.

This meeting with the parents was the fuse.

Julian's parents were very kind, and there was no deliberate difficulty at the dinner table.

But they informed Julian that he needed to stay abroad for a few years after graduation, firstly to gain knowledge, and secondly to open up overseas markets for the company.

They hoped I would go with Julian.

For this, they could cover my tuition, living expenses, and all other costs, on the condition that I must be with Julian.

At that time, I guessed that Julian and his parents might have reached some kind of deal.

Probably because of me, Julian had requested not to go abroad, so his parents compromised and allowed Julian to bring me along as his girlfriend.

But I didn't want to go abroad.

Especially this kind of going abroad purely as an accessory.

I had just received an offer from a top domestic company, my dreams were about to set sail, the future was bright, there was really no need to give up just like that.

So I refused.

Conflicts began to appear between Julian and me.

There were no arguments, Julian couldn't argue with me.

He just humbly requested, hoping I could make some changes for him and this relationship.

After seeing my hard-heartedness, he finally chose to give in, claiming that a long-distance relationship was also fine, and he would fly back often to see me in the future.

But I already felt bad then.

Probably after rational analysis, I felt I didn't love him that much, so I broke up with him before he went abroad.

Julian's fingertip suddenly poked my dimple:

"What are you thinking about? You didn't answer when I called your name."

I started, answering casually: "Thinking about meeting the parents."

Surprise burst into Julian's eyes:

"Really! Baby, are you really willing to accompany me to meet my parents? God, I'm so happy!"

He grabbed me and pulled me into his arms, stroking my head and murmuring:

"Baby, how are you so good!"

I thought, actually I'm not good at all.

Just as I wanted to push him away, the car window beside me was knocked.

Caleb's handsome and elegant face appeared in my line of sight.

He curved his lips in a light smile, polite and courteous:

"Sorry to disturb, can I hitch a ride?"
