Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1224-Cecilia muttered, “You’re not cold? Fine! I hope you freeze to death
on this
summer night!”
What a stupid man! She never wanted to see him again!
As Cecilia turned to leave, Noel quickly grabbed her arm.
“Ms. Jarvis!”
This blockhead seemed to have realized she was upset, and was trying to stop
her from leaving.
Cecilia was delighted, though she still showed an angry expression.
“What is it?” She intentionally turned her body away, not in a hurry to look back,
hoping he would coax her.
As long as he managed to coax her, she wouldn’t return home for now. After all,
it wasn’t easy to slip away like this. She hoped to experience a breakthrough
with him tonight. She wanted to know what it felt like to have her boyfriend kiss
her on the cheek.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt a thrilling sensation she hadn’t
experienced in all these years. She had always been too obedient. After
meeting Noel, this was her first time going against her family.
It was also the second time she had bravely pursued a romantic relationship.
The first time she had bravely tried had been with Julian, but she had failed.
This time, she hoped Noel wouldn’t let her down.
“Never mind,” Noel said as he stared at her back. He scratched his head,
looking troubled. “It’s so late, and you must want to go back to sleep.”
He looked up at the sky. “I don’t think it’s cold at all, but you just said you were
cold.”
He was also in a difficult situation, and he continued to persuade Cecilia to
return home. “You should return home. It’s warmer inside.”
If possible, Cecilia would have gnawed through her lips with how hard she bit it.
Her romantic fantasies were all gone! And it was all due to Noel’s infuriating
mouth!
In the end, she couldn’t bear to return home like this. Cecilia hesitated for a
moment, and decided to give them both another chance.
“So, why did you call out to me?”
At Cecilia’s persistent questions, Noel had no choice but to voice his thoughts.
“It’s nothing. I just thought… Can you help me ask about Jim Hughes…?”
The more Noel spoke, the quieter his voice became. “This man…”
“Okay, then,” Cecilia said, quite surprised. “I always thought
you have a one-track mind, but now, you’re trying a more indirect approach.
Knowing it won’t work with my mom, you want me to quietly gather some
information. Julian’s orders seem more important to you than I am.”
To make Noel, someone who usually had a single-minded approach, consider a
different strategy, was indeed surprising.
Noel didn’t argue, though. “I’m used to it. I have to do what the boss orders.”
As for dating… In all honesty, he still didn’t know how to navigate that. He just
wanted to live each day and treat Cecilia well each day.
However, treating a young lady well required a financial foundation.
By excelling in his job, he hoped to earn a higher salary from Julian soon. That
would ensure that Cecilia’s life wouldn’t take a nosedive if she chose to be with
him. In Noel’s eyes, ensuring their financial security and working diligently was
the ultimate way to take responsibility for Cecilia.
However, this was the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Noel was a blunt,
straight shooter, and he wasn’t about to tell Cecilia these things directly.
If he did, would she find him boring? Would she begin to doubt her own
judgment…?
Meanwhile, Cecilia had her own thoughts.
Was she always choosing men who weren’t right for her?
Until she figured this out, Cecilia didn’t plan to help Noel.
She had her pride.
She could defy her mother to be with Noel. She could pick up knitting needles
she’d never used before to knit him a scarf for winter. She could even call him
first to make sure he was always thinking of her.
