Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1461-1470

Julian noticed Jessie wiping her tears away, and he gave her an understanding look. If they weren’t in a church, he would have hugged her.

The priest came forth and officiated the wedding. Eventually, the couple on stage exchanged their vows and hugged passionately. All the guests gave them thunderous applause.

Queenie didn’t toss her bouquet. Instead, she turned around and gave it to Jessie. Jessie blushed, but she took it happily anyway. Thank you for the blessing, Queenie.

Jonathan made a speech to give the newlyweds all his blessings and hopes.

The banquet began, and the guests were served lavish, beautiful dishes. Willow had a great time eating them. The girl sat in a highchair and let her parents feed her. At the same time, she kept holding onto her candies.

Jared had grown into a handsome and dashing young boy. He stopped acting cute like how he used to. Now, he was more collected and mature. Once he was done eating, he took his sister away, leaving their parents alone so they could eat in peace.

Queenie switched into a dress proper for the banquet, and Jessie changed into a shorter dress as well. She and Julian accompanied the newlyweds as they went around raising toasts to everyone.

Queenie was a bit tired after all the toasting, so Jessie took her back to the waiting room. Nigel came in a while later with a drunk Julian tagging along behind him. He drank a lot. Most of those were supposed to be toasts for Nigel.

“Jessie, leave Queenie to me. You should take Julian back to his villa. He needs to rest. Look at him. He’s drunk.”

Jessie nodded. “Want me to hold you up?” she asked Julian.

“I can still walk,” he answered stubbornly, but the look on his face spoke otherwise. His fair-skinned face had a rosy hue to them, and she felt like biting him. They came to the corridor and made their way to the elevator. Then, he almost tripped over himself.

She held him up. “Let me help.”

Just then, Julian leaned down, and their faces were millimeters away. Jessie’s cheeks were set aflame. The moment the elevator opened, she dragged him into it.

A driver was tasked to take them back. She told him where Julian stayed, and the driver took them all the way there. She was already huffing and puffing when she painstakingly took Julian back home. He was nearly six feet two, and his size alone made it tough for her to drag him along.

She wanted to let go of him the moment he hit the couch, but all of a sudden, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down. Caught by surprise, she fell into his embrace, and her heart skipped a beat. She raised her head only to be met by a pair of passionate eyes. Even without asking, she knew what he had in his mind.

“Stay with me,” said Julian hoarsely.

“I-I need to go back.”

“But Nigel told you to take care of me.”

“H-How should I go about that?” Jessie stammered. I can’t take care of you while locked in your arms.

“Just let me hug you for a while.” With that, he held her tightly, refusing to let go.

Quietly, she leaned on his chest. Silence swooped down on them, but her heart was still beating violently against her ribcage. This is my sister’s wedding. I can’t believe I’m making out with him here. A moment later, she thought Julian might need some water, so she said, “I’ll get you some water.”

“Sure,” he replied.

However, for some reason, Jessie’s hair was tangled with his belt. A pang of pain shot through her head the moment she stood up, and she gasped. Immediately, she fell back to him once more. “My hair got tangled.”

After saying that, she tried to untangle her hair from his belt.

Unbeknownst to her, Julian tensed up. Hoarsely, he asked, “Done?”

Not yet. Little did Jessie know that she was dangerously close to making him snap. The alcohol was already fuzzing his mind in the first place, and what she was doing now made things worse.

She kept touching his belt and untangling her hair. When she was done, Julian looked redder than a cooked lobster, and his throat was parched. She got him a glass of water, and he gulped it down in one go. He then asked for another glass, and she poured another for him. Only then did he feel the fire within him die down a little.

She put the cup down. “I should take you upstairs. You need to rest.”

He narrowed his eyes. “Sure.”

She took him upstairs. The alcohol was wearing off a bit, and his steps had more strength to them now. They entered his room, and Jessie noticed the curtains were open. Without much thought, she went over to draw the curtains, and the room went dim. Yet, Julian could still see the silhouette of her figure even with such poor lighting.

Right then, he couldn’t take it anymore. All he wanted was to rail her. He pulled her into his embrace, and when she turned around, he pressed his lips against hers.

Time stopped for a moment for Jessie, her eyes widening with shock. However, she couldn’t resist the kiss, not from him.

Slivers of sunshine slipped into the room, lending it an element of warmth. With a voice barely counting as a whisper, he asked, “Can I do you?”

She remained silent as she was overwhelmed with embarrassment. How do you expect me to answer that? Well, I’d say yes, but I’m a lady. I need to keep up appearances, she thought to herself. She wanted him to do her, but she lacked the courage to ask him so. Before she could say anything, Julian pressed on deeper with his kiss, his hand touching her supple lower back. At that point, Jessie surrendered herself to him, letting him take her for a ride. For a moment there, she forgot her sister’s wedding was still ongoing.

Jessie could taste the taste of alcohol in her mouth. It came from Julian. Every breath he exhaled was filled with his almost scalding warmth.

The alcohol still lingered in his system, so he spoke in a way that was out of his usual character, “Oh, you feel hot. Did you have too much to drink as well?”

No, I am hot because you’re making me hot and bothered!

“N-No, I didn’t,” she stammered. Just then, his phone rang, and she pushed him quickly. “Hey, someone’s calling you.”

However, he didn’t stop kissing. He huffed, “Ignore it. It’s nothing important.”

Unfortunately for him, the phone wouldn’t stop ringing. The only way to make it stop was for him to take the call. It must be important. Or else it would’ve stopped ringing by now. “You should take the call.” She shoved him away, huffing and puffing. If it’s important and he misses it, it’d be bad.

Julian stared at the phone with hatred and fury in his eyes. For a moment, he was seized by the urge to toss it out the window. Dammit. This has better be important, or else… He eyed the caller ID for a moment and took the call impatiently. “What is it?”

“Young Master Julian, someone just informed us your car got scratched,” Ashley said, apparently panicking.

Goddammit. “Next time, you settle this yourself. You call me because of something inconsequential like that again, and I’ll cut your pay!” he roared and tossed his phone away after hanging up.

Jessie blinked. Oh, was that Ashley? No, I can’t let him cut her pay. She’s a nice lady. She approached him and wrapped her arms around him. Softly, she consoled, “Alright, calm down now.”

Julian sobered up a little just then as he was afraid that he might have frightened her with his shouting just now. He pressed his forehead against hers. “Did I scare you?”

“What? The fact that you kissed me, or the fact you yelled at Ashley?” Jessie smiled.

A chuckle escaped his lips. “This is all your fault.”

“How is that my fault?” She blinked innocently. You kissed me, and that’s supposed to be my fault? How?

“Because you’re too pretty. I couldn’t hold myself back.”

“You’re not cutting her pay. She’s a hardworking assistant, alright?” Jessie said solemnly.

Julian gulped slightly at her serious tone. “Fine, I won’t cut her pay.”
