Chapter 269: Julia’s Slightly Round Belly
As soon as Julia finished speaking, Jared’s hand extended.
Without much thought, Julia directly placed the flower–woven ring in Jared’s hand.
“It’s really not bad. I’m quite skillful.” Julia held the man’s hand, appreciating the ring carefully.
Jared’s eyes were half–lowered, and the dark black of his eyes reflected the ring on his finger, radiating a deep and mysterious glow.
Seeing Jared silent for a while, staring at the ring in his hand, what was going on? Did he like it that much?
Wait!
Julia suddenly reacted, her pupils enlarging instantly, and she quickly moved to take the ring off Jared’s finger.
Julia was fast, but Jared was faster.
Jared retracted his hand and placed it behind his back.
“You put it on for me, and I refuse to take it off.”
Julia: “…….”
“It’s just a grass–woven ring. Do you have to be like this?” Julia muttered with exasperation while trying to find an opportunity to remove the grass ring while sneakily watching Jared behind him.
“You made it yourself and gave it to me.” When the man said this, his eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him, unwavering.
From the deep, ocean–like eyes of the man, Julia saw her own reflection, filled entirely with herself, as if the vast universe couldn’t contain anything else.
Looking at it, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
Julia quickly pulled herself back to reality, preventing herself from falling deeper into it.
“Cough I’m a bit hungry. Are you hungry too? Let’s go back and eat something?”
Jared could tell that Julia was trying to avoid it, and he had caught glimpses of the girl’s blush that she was trying hard to conceal.
His thin lips curved up, and a faintly pleased expression graced his lifted mouth.
“Well, I’m a bit hungry, too,” Jared said, holding Julia’s hand.
Julia looked down at their interlocked fingers. Before she could say anything, the man’s voice rang
out.
“Just now, someone said we were a match made in heaven. Since we are a perfect pair, we shouldn’t separate.”
Jared held her hand tightly.
“I said that for their benefit. They spoke so rudely,” Julia explained.
“Well, so we need to play along, don’t we?” Jared was in a good mood, and his tone was much lighter than usual.
Jared’s words left Julia speechless. Moreover, she felt that even if she said “no,” the man would still continue holding her hand. Since that was the case, why waste energy trying to break free?
Furthermore, Jared’s words made sense. Those people were all defending Cameron. In that case,

she might as well just let the man hold her hand and make them all furious.
Thinking about this, Julia was in a great mood, allowing Jared to lead her back to the place where the tents were set up.
As soon as Cameron saw Jared return, she immediately greeted him.
Halfway through, upon seeing Jared and Julia holding hands, her steps immediately halted, and the smile on her face froze visibly.
At that moment, Henry, with sharp eyes, noticed the special ring in Jared’s hand.
“Huh? Jared, what are you wearing in your hand?”
Jared raised his eyebrows slightly, deliberately raising the hand holding Julia’s.
“My wife is skillful with her hands. She made and gave this to me according to my size.”
Julia glanced at the sideways glance and pursed her lips, grumbling a few words in her heart.
“Is this showing off?” Henry rolled his eyes exaggeratedly and turned to look at Maddie. “Wife, can you weave? Can you make one for me too?”
“Weave a big ghost!” Maddie said impatiently.
“Wife, you’re so amazing! You can even weave a big ghost?”
Maddie remained speechless.
I don’t want to talk to you!
Tiresome!
Cameron stared at the ring in Jared’s hand, her eyes turning red from anger. She felt like her were about to catch fire, and she wished she could burn the ring to ashes.
Even before Cameron started staring at the ring in Jared’s hand, Julia had noticed. She deliberately raised her eyebrows at Cameron, her face displaying a smirk as she looked at Cameron.
Julia’s appearance nearly made Cameron cough up blood from anger.
Julia! Just wait! One day, she would see Julia kicked out of the Brooks Family!
At that time, she would definitely kick her while she was down!
Julia noticed the fury in Cameron’s eyes as she glared at the ring in Jared’s hand.
Hate me if you want. Who’s afraid of you? There were plenty of people who hated her, and she didn’t mind adding Cameron to the list.
Moreover, she didn’t mind if the storm got even fiercer.
Julia hugged Jared’s arm and looked up at him, deliberately using a playful tone. “Honey, I’m hungry. Look, my tummy’s all shrunk.”
eyes
“Oh? Is that so?” Jared’s words were accompanied by his palm pressing against Julia’s abdomen.
Shocked!
Julia’s pupils dilated instantly. Her belly….
Huh?
Why didn’t it seem shrunk?
Jared’s gaze shifted downwards and landed on Julia’s belly. Was it just his imagination? He remembered that Julia’s belly seemed flatter before.

“Did you gain weight?”
Julia froze for a moment and then quickly retreated several steps.
白
This reaction to Julia’s made Jared think that he had upset her by mentioning her weight. After all, most girls were sensitive about being called fat.
After pondering for a few seconds, Jared looked at Julia’s belly and continued, “You’ve gotten too thin. It’s better to have a little more weight.”
Julia cautiously gulped, then touched her abdomen. She was only two months along, so was it possible for her to be showing already?
It shouldn’t be. Normally, it would start showing slowly around three to four months.
Could it be because she was expecting triplets?
Fortunately, the man didn’t think in that direction..
Well, it was true. On that rainy night when he had a high fever, everything was instinctual, and he had forgotten the whole process. If he remembered, he would have remembered by now, not waiting until now.
As Julia contemplated and analyzed in her heart, everyone, including Cameron, was staring at Julia and Jared.
Everyone had seen the interaction between Jared and Julia just now.
They thought it was still daylight, the sun was still up, and you two just touched your stomachs directly. Is that really appropriate? After all, most of the people here are single.
So, are you trying to torment them like they’re single?
“Gurgle-”
Julia’s stomach made a thunderous sound.
“Where’s the barbecue grill we brought?” Julia quickly changed the subject. They couldn’t continue discussing the stomach issue.
“I’ll go get it,” Jared said as he walked towards the car.
“Jared, I’ll help you,” Henry followed.
Soon, they set up the barbecue grill.
Julia rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
“Go ahead, I don’t believe she can cook anything good,” Madeline said disdainfully.
Not only Madeline but everyone present were scions of wealthy families in the entertainment industry. Few of them were good at cooking. Even if they did cook, they would at most make simple things like sandwiches or vegetable salads.
Barbecue
It may look simple, but it requires skill.
To be a bit realistic, if you’ve never done it before or only do it occasionally, leaving aside the taste, overcooking, or burning it is unavoidable.
“We’ll just wait and see her make a fool of herself, and then I’ll seize the opportunity to mock her,” Elora said. However, just after Elora finished speaking, he caught a whiff of an extremely enticing barbecue aroma.
After sniffing, he followed the scent and saw Julia grilling. He was stunned.
10:15
“So fragrant!”
Even though he didn’t want to admit it, it smelled really good!
It felt ten times more fragrant than the barbecues he had outside before.
“She’s grilling meat without adding any seasoning. Of course, it’ll be fragrant. But that doesn’t mean Julia knows how to do it. Wait and see, I bet it won’t be long before it’s burnt,” Madeline refused to believe that Julia could barbecue.
She couldn’t do it herself, and she had tried before.
It was a complete failure.
After a while, Julia took out the seasoning she had prepared and sprinkled it on the meat. “My goodness! What kind of meat is grilled? It smells so good?” Someone couldn’t help but drool. Although Madeline and Elora were displeased with Julia, the aroma was irresistibly tantalizing. Cameron was also grilling on the side. Originally, she planned to wait for Julia to burn the meat and then serve the burnt meat to Jared.
However –
She was even tempted by the fragrance of the meat Julia grilled.
Madeline came to Julia’s side and stared at the seasoning in her hand with a curious look. “Julia, what kind of seasoning is this? It doesn’t look like cumin or anything.”
Madeline asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
“I made it myself,” Julia answered truthfully, not stopping her cooking while speaking. “Make it yourself? When did you make it? I didn’t know you had this skill. You can even make own seasoning?” Madeline asked in surprise.
Hearing Madeline’s question, Jared glanced subtly at Julia, his black eyes circulating with a somewhat obscure gleam.
your
“Just idle and bored, experimenting on my own. This seasoning not only enhances the taste but also serves to cool the body down. Eating barbecue is easy to cause internal heat, so I deliberately added a few herbal medicine ingredients to counteract it,” Julia explained while multitasking. Julia’s words puzzled those unaware.
“What do you mean? Added a few herbal medicine ingredients? Does she know medicine?” someone asked in confusion.
“You ask like this, and I suddenly remember something. I heard that Julia cured Shiloh’s legs.” This person’s words were like dropping a piece of ice into a boiling pot, instantly causing an uproar.
Julia really understands medicine!
And she cured Shiloh’s legs!!!
Everyone present knew that Shiloh had been sitting in a wheelchair with crippled legs for many years. The Brooks Family, in their quest for Shiloh to stand again, had sought out renowned doctors and even sent him to the most advanced medical facilities in Australia, but to no avail.
However-
Julia had cured Shiloh’s legs. This news was inconceivable to them.
“Is it true? Is Julia really that amazing?” This girl just asked, and Madeline immediately denied it.
10:15
“How is that possible? Do you really believe this? The Brooks Family is extremely wealthy. In the past, they’ve tried every precious medicine and consulted the best doctors for Shiloh. None of these highly skilled individuals were able to cure his legs.
And Julia, how old is she? Just a little over twenty. Usually, at that age, she would still be doing her medical internship in a hospital.”
Hearing Madeline’s words, the others found her reasoning persuasive.
“Then why would such a rumor exist?”
“Why not.” Madeline looked at Julia, her eyes filled with nothing but disdain.
“Julia probably spread this to stay in the Snyder Family and make people look up to her a bit
more.”
“You have a point, but Shiloh’s legs really did heal, didn’t they?”
“Heh-” Madeline smiled, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Indeed, Shiloh’s legs have indeed healed. But what does that have to do with Julia? In my opinion, it’s probably that Jared found the legendary divine healer and invited her to intervene, and that’s how Shiloh’s legs got healed.” After Madeline’s analysis, there were no loopholes. Consequently, the gazes of everyone towards Julia turned even more contemptuous. Shiloh’s legs were undoubtedly healed by a divine healer, yet she shamelessly took all the credit for herself.
“Look at yourself first!”
Just when everyone was sarcastically commenting in their minds, the aroma drifted towards them again.
“Gurgle “Someone couldn’t help but swallow saliva.
“Wow! It smells so good.”
“Should be done grilling, right?”
Indeed, it was done. Julia picked up a piece of grilled meat, put it on a plate, and handed it to Jared.
“You haven’t tried my grilled meat yet. Give it a taste. I guarantee you’ll send your taste buds down to your stomach. My former–uh, friend tried it once, and after that, they often asked me to grill for them.”
Jared looked at the grilled meat on the plate and pondered Julia’s words, then asked, “Friend? Who? Lincoln?”
Julia twitched her mouth in speechlessness. She could bet that this man must have been jealous in
past life. She just mentioned it casually, and he could think so much.
his
“If
you don’t want it, fine. Maddie, want to try?” Julia stabbed a fork into the meat and gestured to feed Maddie.
At that moment, Jared grabbed Julia’s arm. Holding Julia’s hand, he fed himself a bite.
The man was close, and Julia’s heart raced, a flurry of little deer inside her.
It’s a bit thrilling.
“Huh?” Maddie rubbed her arm and shivered. Goosebumps ran all over her body.
Then, Henry forked a piece of meat and handed it to Maddie’s mouth. “Try it; it’s really delicious.”
Maddie rolled her eyes in silence and noticed a piece of meat on Henry’s fork that had already been bitten.
“You’re giving me the eaten one?”
“I don’t mind your saliva; you shouldn’t mind mine either. Come on, be a good girl and open your mouth.”
“Get lost.”
Meanwhile, Cameron stared at Julia, forgetting to turn the meat.
Maddie, with a keen nose, sniffed, “Something’s burnt. It smells terrible.”
Maddie looked around and finally saw the grilled meat in front of Cameron.
“Oh no! I’m telling you, Miss Yang, if you don’t know how to grill, don’t do it. You’ve burned it.
Such a waste of ingredients! It’s better to let our Julia grill it.”
When Maddie said this, everyone’s gaze fell on the grill in front of Cameron.
