All Chapters of I wish it were you: Chapter 971 - Chapter 980

Julissa grew a little embarrassed and pulled her foot back with a smile.“Getting injured is normal. Everyone who danced with me had scars on their feet. No one had perfectly clean skin. You just get used to it over time.”As she spoke, she carefully placed the little ballet slippers back in their box and returned them to the bookshelf. She let out a soft sigh.“I just didn’t expect that after giving so much… I’d lose everything because of one car accident…”Her voice choked slightly with emotion.Scott took her hand gently.“There’s no such thing as an entirely bad thing in this world. If you hadn’t quit dancing, we wouldn’t have met. Besides, the willpower you built through all those years of ballet—and the poise, elegance, and posture you developed—no one can ever take those away from you. So don’t say you’ve lost everything, okay?”Julissa looked up at him, and in that moment, she truly felt his words were right.Even without the accident, she wouldn’t have been able to stay on st

Scott turned around, his eyes dark and intense, and asked in a low voice,“Are you sure?”There was a teasing, ambiguous note hidden in his tone.Julissa blinked and tried to cover up her true thoughts with a clumsy excuse:“It’s just… I haven’t seen you in a few days. I wanted to talk to you…”“You’re not worried your parents might find out?”“It’s fine… the door’s shut. They won’t hear anything…” she mumbled.Scott then pulled her directly into his arms, lifted her chin, and asked with a smirk,“So, what is it Julissa wants to talk about?”At that moment, even if she did have something important to say, Julissa had completely forgotten it.“Uh…”Before she could finish, Scott already leaned in and kissed her.At first, she was tense, worried that they’d wake up her parents—but soon enough, all those thoughts faded away.By the time the kiss ended, she realized they were now both lying on her tiny bed.Julissa stared at the man in front of her.In the dim light, his eyes seemed even

Julissa didn’t ask too much and decided to check what else was hidden in the box first.Underneath the perfume box, there was a small paper pouch. She squeezed it—it was soft, like fabric.A scarf? Julissa thought, but quickly dismissed the idea.Scarves are one-size-fits-all, and Scott had said he wasn’t sure about the size—so it couldn’t be something like a scarf or handkerchief.Clothing, then?But what kind of clothing fits into such a tiny pouch?Julissa already had a vague suspicion. She glanced at Scott and saw, under the soft glow of the nightlight, his face was cast in a layer of shadow… filled with teasing ambiguity.His eyes, too, were unmistakably laced with desire.Her heart started beating faster, her cheeks warming. She bit her lip and opened the pouch, pulling out the contents.It was a black lace lingerie set.Her face instantly flushed red-hot.“Scott, you—how could you…”How could he give her something so intimate?But deep down… Julissa liked it.Compared to food o

Julissa spit out the toothpaste foam and immediately walked out of the bathroom.Liam was standing at the entranceway and turned to look at her. Surprise and joy flickered in his eyes.“Julissa, you’re home.”“Mm, just for the night,” she mumbled, her words unclear due to the toothpaste in her mouth. Her gaze quickly shifted toward Scott’s bedroom door.Scott appeared soon after, dressed casually.When Liam saw him, his eyes were filled with shock—and a flicker of pain. The smile that was just starting to form vanished instantly.Scott’s expression was neutral. He gave Liam a small nod, then turned to greet Mrs. Hickman politely:“Good morning, Auntie.”Mrs. Hickman smiled and nodded back, “I’ve made breakfast. You and Julissa can eat before you go.”“Okay,” Scott said, then turned to Julissa.“Done with the bathroom?”Julissa blinked in confusion and shook her head. “Almost.”“I’ll dish out breakfast then,” he said.As he passed by the entrance, he casually asked Liam,“Have you eate

“God of Food?” Scott chuckled. “That actually suits you.”“It’s not that kind of god…” Julissa waved her hand. “It’s a term from the Chinese zodiac and five elements thing—never mind, I can’t explain it well. Just go with the vibe.”Scott clearly wasn’t interested in diving into astrology. He simply gazed at her up close.“So, you’re not marrying into their family anymore, and you’re still eating their eggs. Is that appropriate?”Julissa suddenly recalled her mom’s earlier warning—sure enough, moms do know best. Her mom had predicted that Scott would be feeling a little off about it.So Julissa explained seriously:“My mom already returned the favor. She gave Mrs. Zamora some wild veggies and seafood, so the eggs are totally fair game. Besides, Mrs. Zamora is like a real aunt to me—she’s watched me grow up. Even if I’m not going to be her daughter-in-law, that relationship won’t change.”After that, she tugged on Scott’s sleeve pitifully.“Don’t overthink it, okay?”Scott stared at he
