The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

Soon, Christmas arrived, and it was nothing like the Christmas I was used to. This time, it was full of love, happy moments and warmness, Rose Kensington took that holiday pretty seriously and the decorations she had all over the house were breathtaking. A week before Truth was, I wanted to spend Christmas with them at their place, because I considered Julian's family my new family. I was always happy among them and not once had I not felt welcome.

"It's your turn" Julian got on the floor beside me since I was playing with Violet, Julian's niece. He dragged a huge box towards us, making my eyes go wide. I told him not to spend a lot of money on me, but I had a feeling that he did not listen. What did my crazy husband get me?

"It's big" I commented, and I heard him mutter "That's what she said under his breath, making me give him a playful shove

I looked closer at the box and realized that it had the sun from the movie Rapunzel princed all over it. The box itself had the same shade of purple as the flag. He knew how much I loved that movie, so seeing its reference on the box made the gift ten times better without ev I carefully removed the lid of the box, and a gasp escaped my mouth upon seeing what was in front of me. I couldn't believe it. That was the most thoughtful gift I had ever gotten in my entire life. It had been years since I last got a gift I truly wanted. "Okay, I'm really starting to worry. Is it a

bad one! Did I overstep! I just wanted to get you something you really wanted," Julian said when I stayed silent for a while, making me look at him. "Shoot. Did I make you cry? I'm sorry" I had tears in my eyes, but they were happy tears.

I shook my head and quickly latched my arms around his neck. He wrapped me in his embrace and kissed my cheek as he buried his face in my neck "You deserve the best, sunshine," he whispered. I wasn't sure when he started calling me that nickname, but I loved it, ju "Thank you. I'm so lucky to have you, I mumbled as I slowly pulled away, looking at his handsome face. I had never imagined myself falling for Julian, but it happened and despite our bad beginning, I loved how our relationship was. He placed one hand over my cheek and leaned in to give me a quick peck on my lips since we were among our family. That had been by far the best Christmas I had ever had since I was ten years old.

"The thing is, we still don't know what he got you," Harper commented, making me laugh.

"Sorry." 1 blushed. "He got me the latest sewing inachine. I have had my eyes on this sewing machine for long, but it's very expensive, so I have been saving to get it and he got it for me," I said, looking at her.

"I'm sorry, what?" Steven frowned looking at me "Saving to get it Sweetheart, you can buy whatever you want. Julian, you didn't give Emily access to your credit card?"

"I did, but she refused to accept it. She's so stubborn and I don't know how I can get her to accept it. Julian sairi.

"I'm more comfortable like that. 1 like to spend the money I earn and it's his money. I haven't earned it. I explained my point of view to them, but from the look on their face, I could tell that they did not like iL

"We're going to talk about that Jater. Let's just enjoy our night," Rose told me, and 1 nodded.

Julian pulled me against him, letting me rest my back against his chest, and kissed my head, making me smile.

For years, I knew nothing about true happiness. Perhaps I had some happy moments here and there, but nothing could ever compare to that When I first married Julian. I thought I was going to be sentenced to a life of misery, but I was glad that I was wrong. "It's snowing!" Violet, Julian's niece, squealed, making us look at the window. Indeed, got up and nude our way to the windows. It looked so pretty.

"You love it, don't you?" Julian wondered and I nodded.

was starting to snow. I loved watching the snow fall. We all

"I want to go out. Let's take pictures!" I exclaimed and he agreed, laughing a little at my excitement.

We headed out and Julian took out his phone. "Let me take pictures of you first," he told me. I wanted to take pictures with him, but I agreed.

"You go stand beside her!" Harper gave him a slight push towards me after he took a few pictures of me.

When he approached me, he picked me up and twirled me around, making me laugh.

"Don't you look adorable in that ugly Christinas sweater?" He kissed my lips, making me look down as my cheeks reikdened.

ily like that. We probably disgust them," I said as he set me down.

"You really need to stop kissing me in front of your family like

Th's too hard when you have such kissable lips." I faced Harper to take pictures of us as I wrapped my ann around his torso.

"You two look so in love that I want to throw up," I laughed at what Harper said and Julian gave her the middle finger after making sure that the kids and his parents weren't looking

We spent a while in the snow, taking pictures and just goofing around, then we all headed inside. Rose. Harper, and I went to the kitchen to prepare some snacks for everybody.

"You know, I'm really glad that things have finally worked out with you and Julian," Harper said with a smile

"Me too. I knew from the very first moment I saw you that you'd fit with our family and seeing how happy you make my son proves that nobody would have been suitable for him other than you, Rose added.

"He really makes me happy and I'm glad that things have finally worked out between the two of us." I remember how I used to hate being in the same place as him, but things had changed. My heart would now get filled with joy the moment he would step into a room I was "There was a nasty spell cast on him by an evil witch and her mother and it thankfully got broken," Harper said, causing me to chuckle. She had never been fond of Fiona and Maggie, and she made it pretty clear. "I knew that my brother was falling hard for you on Thanks "Falling for me? I don't think he is," I said, looking at her. Falling! It was too early for that to happen. Julian and I were just.. Into each other. Nothing major.

"Just because he hasn't said it yet, that doesn't mean that he isn't falling for you" I wasn't convinced. It was too fast to even consider something like that

Yes, I was falling for him, but I didn't want to say that out loud to anyone because that was too fast.

"I'm giving our relationship all the time it needs because it isn't exactly your everyday relationship. Our start was bad, but I like where everything is going, so I don't mind waiting until we're both sare of how we're feeling. I told her.

I was more than thankful for how my life was turning out to be, and I was always praying for everything in me to not have that happiness taken away from me.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
