Mr. Fairchild's Rose: She is Wild and Proud-Chapter 222 - 185: Hold My Hand Tight!
Then their fingers interlocked tightly.
"Do you remember you once said—" Julian Fairchild’s voice was slow and gentle, as if his thoughts were entangled with memories, turning his words tender yet resolute.
He gazed into Maeve Lane’s eyes, his voice low and hoarse, "When our fingers interlock, you feel that you really like me, now—"
"Do you still feel that way?"
Maeve’s heart seemed to skip a beat, and her steady breathing became a bit uneven.
[Hold my hand, Julian Fairchild.]
[Am I not holding it right now?]
[You’re pulling my hand, there’s a difference between pulling and holding hands.]
[What’s the difference?]
The voice in the memory seemed a bit ethereal, with a hint of indulgence. Girls always have quirky ways of thinking, turning white into black and black into white.
[Pulling the hand is like this, look, and holding the hand is like this... fingers interlocked.]
[Mmm, and then? What’s the difference?] His voice was like snow in spring, carrying a melted chill but with warmth within.
[And then—] The beautiful, eye-catching girl tightly clasped his, [And then I feel I like you a little more.]
The young, handsome man was momentarily stunned.
The girl tiptoed and bit the corner of his lips, [The warmth in the palm feels like it can reach the heart, every time we get close, there’s a feeling of really liking you.]
[Like what?]
[Like you.]
Julian saw Maeve’s slightly dazed expression and knew she had remembered.
Even when he led her away, Maeve’s gaze was still somewhat dazed.
Like a child whose mind had been disturbed.
Miles Hughes saw the arc at the corner of his young master’s mouth finally appear, and the heavy stone in his heart finally settled down.
"The young lady still works best, when the young master sees her, it’s like all his temper disappears."
Suddenly, Miles remembered the fear of being occasionally engulfed in Julian Fairchild’s low-pressure aura for ten days to half a month.
A somewhat immature idea popped into his mind, "...Maybe next time the young master throws a tantrum, we should call the young lady over, and then no matter how big his temper is, he can’t direct it at her."
As soon as this idea surfaced, Miles praised himself for his clever thinking!
He wondered why he hadn’t thought of it earlier.
Upon careful recollection over the past two years, every time the young master was angry, it was because of the young lady, and it came with an oppressive atmosphere so strong it was like a moving icehouse that people dared not get close to...
As long as their relationship eased a bit, the young master’s mood improved greatly, and even dealt calmly and kindly with those who made mistakes...
He decided to build a good relationship with the young lady! So that in crucial moments, he could call on her for help!
...
In the beginning, for a day or two, all the online criticism was directed at Maeve Lane.
This kind of arrogant provocation by naming names was a rare occurrence in the double-dealing entertainment industry!
No one had ever made a relationship this openly strained!
But this action by Maeve, to outsiders, seemed impulsive and even like she was chasing clout.
Yet from the perspective of insiders, it was clear that they were openly tearing each other apart.
In an instant, before Sylvia Lane and her studio could make a statement, many in the industry who had interests with them started choosing sides!
Expressing support for Sylvia Lane!
This was especially apparent on the first couple of days, to the point that public opinion almost completely skewed, because no one spoke up for Maeve!
Why almost completely skewed?
Because Julian Fairchild posted a blog because of Maeve once again.
"I believe in her, some people should know their limits. @MaeveLanev"
This action truly excited the masses of onlookers!
Those who thought there would be an overwhelming victory suddenly found a turning point in their gossiping lives!
"Whoa, Best Actor Fairchild! He spoke up for Maeve Lane again, how much does he value this junior!"
"Must be because Julian Fairchild finds her pleasing to the eye, otherwise there’s no reason for him to choose a side at this time!"
"...Why are you all so pure, am I the only one sneaking around the melon patch who smells something impure?"
"Sis upstairs, I’m not that pure either."
"..."
The influence of Julian Fairchild is much greater than some first or second-tier stars.
Even many who had a vague understanding of Julian Fairchild’s background secretly deleted their supportive posts for Sylvia Lane!
And passersby also noticed that those who used to speak ill of Maeve were noticeably fewer — thanks to a certain diligent worker!
After a few days, the tide online began to turn!
Because... it had been an entire week since Maeve posted on Weibo!
No response at all from Sylvia Lane’s side yet!
