Never Too Far Novel

The fans consumed every piece of information available, even though they were only scraps. Anything for Julian, they’d say.

The couple flew back to Averna the next day. Jessie invited Eva to shop and have tea. Then, she and Queenie returned home to see their parents. Eventually, it was time for Eva’s wedding. The news of it was a bombshell for the industry as Eva was really famous while her husband was the boss of the industry’s leading company. Yet, they didn’t invite too many people to their wedding. If they were to invite everyone they knew, they would need a venue that could house at least two thousand guests. Hence, they planned to hold a low-profile wedding. Eva didn’t mind. She never liked to brag about her life anyway.

The wedding happened one week later. Julian and Jessie were invited, of course, but only as guests. Eva had asked her best friend to be the bridesmaid. Louie looked dashing during the wedding, and Eva looked gorgeous in white. This was a wedding most people could only dream of—a picturesque wedding of a prince and a princess. Eva was the center of everyone’s attention, and Louie expressed all the love he had for her. It was true love.

Jessie and Julian were seated at the first table, their hands clasped together tightly under the table.

The ceremony kept going on until night descended. It was a sacred day that nobody would forget, and then everyone attended the wedding reception at night. Jessie had changed into a white silk dress which she specifically picked for the occasion. It made her gleam like a little fairy.
The fans consumed every piece of information available, even though they were only scraps. Anything for Julian, they’d say.

It was then all the guests realized the Gilmore brothers had both found the loves of their lives.

It was then all the guests realized the Gilmore brothers had both found the loves of their lives.

Eva’s wedding went viral. There weren’t many pictures of the event, but the few they had made a big ripple across the Net. Her fans loved how she looked, and they thought her husband was the perfect man for her.

Eventually, the wedding came to an end, and soon it was Christmas Eve. Louie and Eva had gone on their honeymoon abroad, so Julian was invited to the Silversteins’ place during Christmas. The Silverstein couple would love to marry Jessie off to him.

Julian noticed their warm welcome. It was very hard not to. Jessie wanted to spend more time with her parents at night, but her mother told her to spend it with Julian instead. She even told Jessie there would be no breakfast for her the next morning since they had places to go.

Jessie didn’t mind staying with Julian. In fact, she would gladly do it. Now that her mother was giving her an excuse to leave the house, she followed Julian back to his home.

Another important event of her life would take place the next night—her first movie premiere. The excitement kept her awake. She had also seen a lot of the movie’s promotional photos making their rounds online. It was then she realized she had been looking at Julian like he was her whole world. And Julian, unlike most of the time, was smiling as well.

That’s the power of love. Only when he was with someone whom he loved would Julian crack a smile. Jessie also noticed something else. When she first joined the set, she would only steal glances at Julian. Her love was budding, yet she had not the courage to say it out loud. She also noticed a few photos where Julian was getting jealous. Oh, I love these photos. They detail my memories with him. Our memories.

She fell asleep eventually, but she woke up a little later. Groggily, she picked her phone up to look at the time. Julian had woken up as well, and he hugged her. “It’s still early. Get back to sleep.”

“I can’t.” Oh my gosh, it’s already five-thirty in the morning. She was still yawning, but sleep wouldn’t claim her.

Julian got up as well, and they stared outside the window for a moment. The skies were still dark. He said, “I’ll take you around. It should freshen us up, then let’s have breakfast.”

“How about you sleep here? I’ll take the couch so that I won’t disturb your sleep.” Jessie was embarrassed because she was too excited to fall asleep but knew she shouldn’t disturb his sleep.

However, the man reached over and pulled her into his embrace. “Why don’t we do some exercising?”

“Sure! Now? The sky is still quite dark. Why don’t we wait a bit?” Jessie asked with a serious expression.

The man burst out laughing. “The exercise I’m referring to doesn’t need us to head downstairs.”

Immediately getting what he meant, Jessie blushed and buried herself in the man’s arms, unable to reject his request. Lord, men were generally the most lustful in the morning.

In the end, Jessie couldn’t stand her drowsiness despite her excitement. The man had worn her out.

When she woke up again, it was already 11.00AM. Julian had ordered food for her so they could leave for the premiere in the afternoon.

Jessie wore a cute yellow sweater with a small cap over her long hair, making her look cute and innocent. On the other hand, Julian was wearing a mask with casual clothes, but when he was walking on the street, he attracted everyone’s attention with his model-like figure.

The two invited Lexie and her boyfriend to the movie premiere as well.

As Jessie was in high spirits, she felt her heart constantly thumping rapidly inside her chest as she held Julian’s hand.

When the premiere finally began, they saw Gilmore Corporation’s eye-catching and astonishing promotional logo on the big screen, followed by the movie’s opening. The special effects used in the movie were excellent, resulting in a very realistic mythical world. Also, her and Julian’s names appearing together under the “Main Cast” section looked domineering and eye-catching.
“How about you sleep here? I’ll take the couch so that I won’t disturb your sleep.” Jessie was embarrassed because she was too excited to fall asleep but knew she shouldn’t disturb his sleep.

Jessie felt her heartbeat speed up again as she looked at her name, feeling like this was just a dream.

Jessie felt her heartbeat speed up again as she looked at her name, feeling like this was just a dream.

Eva’s name appeared soon after theirs. The 3D effect used was brilliant and gave the viewers a sense that they had been transported inside the movie and were taking a real trip into the mystical world.

During the movie, Jessie could hear the sounds of gasps and exclamations inside the hall, obviously indicating that they were astonished by the special effects.

She could only applaud the production crew for their wealth and capability. She felt like she could watch these special effects all day!

Following that, a young celestial servant appeared on the screen. While Jessie watched the elegant immortal she played, she thought her features looked very delicate under the great camera movements and lighting. It was as if she were a real, unrealistically beautiful young immortal.

“Oh, heavens! Isn’t that Jessie? She looks so beautiful.” A young woman sitting behind Jessie exclaimed in excitement.

Jessie had dubbed her the voice of her character herself and wasn’t expecting her voice to sound so gentle and engaging. Her tone sounded clear and penetrative, and her every expression imbued the crowd.

Meanwhile, Julian was also attracted by the image of his wife on screen and couldn’t help but praise himself for having such a good eye and choosing her to be the female protagonist.

Although filming was difficult, watching the beautiful scenes made Jessie feel that all her efforts were worth it.

On the screen, Jessie looked cute and slightly mischievous. It wasn’t until she watched herself getting beaten up and thrown out like a sandbag that she felt Julian’s Demon Lord, the male protagonist, was exceptionally handsome!

She couldn’t help but let out a few exclamations while clutching Julian’s hand tightly. “You’re so handsome.”

Turning to look at her, Julian kissed her forehead and cooed, “I’m yours.”

That moment, Jessie smiled so brightly that she squinted her eyes into slits. Yes, he’s mine. No matter how handsome he is, he’s mine.

Screams echoed throughout the entire movie hall.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that all the screams came from women. Julian was already used to it, but Jessie, just like his fans, was madly infatuated with him.

Back on screen, the young immortal servant fell into Demon Lord’s arms, and a shocking love story began.

After the movie ended, Jessie and Julian came out of the hall with their masks on and saw many excited fans standing outside, seemingly still immersed in the movie.

They kept praising the movie while walking away.

At this moment, Jessie and Julian were inside an elevator. Julian had his hood on while Jessie hugged him tightly, snuggling her face in his chest.

The four young women who just came in had been busy chatting with each other since they were in the courtyard. They didn’t pay any attention to the couple already inside the elevator and continued to talk loudly.

“The two of them looked so good together! I kept fangirling over them throughout the whole movie. How I wish they were together in real life as well!”

“I heard that they are a real couple!”

“I wonder if that’s true, but they have my blessing anyway! I used to dislike Jessie, but now I understand the hype about her beauty. She’s indeed born to be a protagonist.”

“Isn’t she? I think so too. Gosh! Did you guys see how handsome Julian was? He never fails to steal women’s hearts. Whoever has him as her boyfriend must be the luckiest person ever!”

“I wish I could switch places with Jessie. This way, I could kiss him!”

Meanwhile, Jessie could feel the man she hugged freeze for a moment and almost burst out laughing.

She then glanced over at the young woman who said she wanted to kiss Julian. The young woman wore a cute outfit that suited her slightly plump figure. Unsurprisingly, she spoke her mind so openly and didn’t care what others thought of her.

When they finally came out of the elevator and headed toward Julian’s car, Jessie suddenly smiled and hugged Julian’s arm while skipping. “What were you so nervous about?”

Julian caressed her head while saying, “You know the answer.”

Julian caressed her head while saying, “You know the answer.”

“Did your fans scare you? It seems they accept our relationship!” Jessie exclaimed joyously.

Stopping, Julian took her hands and reassured her, “You don’t have to worry about how others feel about you. What’s important is our love for each other.”

Jessie blinked a few times and nodded in agreement, but the words those fans said still made her happy inside.

“I know that. No matter what happens, we will stay with each other.” Jessie wrapped her arms around Julian’s neck and stood on her toes to plant a kiss on his cheek.

She thought, Julian looks so handsome. No wonder other women are head over heels for him. He looks super attractive on-screen and can make anyone’s heart flutter with just one action. Tonight, he managed to charm everyone through the big screen, so much so that the whole place was filled with screams. With the help of the amazing special effects, his portrayal of the Demon Lord seemed very realistic. Even when he raised his eyebrow or his head, or even made a move with his hand, it looked so handsome that it made everyone scream.

“Let’s head home!” Jessie’s eyes looked shy, and she thought, Perhaps this is a side effect of watching the movie. I want to have him entirely tonight.
