Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1305

He simply requested to talk to Cecilia.

He said it neither in a servile manner nor with an air of arrogance.

Sue was more interested in Noel in his current state compared to when he was stuttering just moments ago. 1

A pity that one’s family background couldn’t be changed. His parents were doomed to be a mark that couldn’t be erased since his birth. No matter how outstanding a butler’s son was, he couldn’t be compared to a rich heir of a wealthy family.

That was especially since Noel was inextricably linked to the Fulcher family.

Sue thought of Jim Hughes.

The thought of those people who couldn’t escape death the moment they got involved with him made her shudder with fear. When she next looked at Noel, the admiration in her eyes vanished. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Fine. I’ll let Cecilia tell you herself,” Sue said as she dialed the number to the landline in her house.

Cecilia answered the call in no time.

“Hello,” she greeted a second after the phone rang.

Noel said, “It’s me.”

Cecilia was on the verge of tears the moment she heard his voice and confirmed that it was Noel.

The past few days felt like years to her. Every day and every second was torture.

At one point, her condition almost relapsed again.

Sue immediately called the doctor over to administer tranquilizers to Cecilia, which managed to bring her condition under control and avoid a relapse.

However, Cecilia was still troubled. She knew she couldn’t escape things this time round.

Her mother’s determination to stop her and Noel from being together was getting stronger, like never before.

Sue even swore viciously that she would die if Cecilia dared to keep her seeing Noel!

Sue had always behaved in a dignified manner, never stooping to threatening her daughter with her death. She didn’t want to stoop to saying such things to Cecilia.

Cecilia knew that her mother wasn’t joking.

In fact, the moment she answered the call, even her father, who seldom interfered in her affairs, stood right next to the phone.

He could catch everything that Cecilia said clearly. 1

She really wanted to tell Noel how much she missed him.

How indignant she felt!

How much she wanted to be with him, to let him hold her hands right!

She even wanted to tell him how much she wanted to kiss him back, too.

Yet, she could say none of that.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

She could only press on. Pretending that nothing happened and swallowing her indignation, she said in a tone that sounded happier than before, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t tell that it was you. Can you tell me your name?”

Noel was stunned.

He couldn’t believe Cecilia couldn’t even tell his voice apart after such a short time.

If he had been in denial just now, telling himself that Sue was deliberately tearing him and Cecilia apart and telling him that Cecilia wanted a break-up…

Yet, as it turned out…

Everything wasn’t what he thought.

The expectation in his eyes vanished. He immediately switched his manner of address in a rational manner. “I’m Noel Carter, Ms. Jarvis.”

Cecilia’s heart tightened at how distant he sounded.

She put in so much effort to pursue Noel, and make him believe that she loved him!

Yet now, their romance had to come to a bitter end.

She didn’t want to marry anyone else aside from Noel!

But she only dared to tell herself that.

Tears welled up in Cecilia’s eyes. She turned her face away, not wanting her father to see her in her current state.

She was about to buckle down and tell Noel that she wanted a break-up, as what Sue wanted her to say before leaving the house, when Noel beat her to it.

“Ms. Jarvis, have you been well? When I was dating you before, I might have offended you. Please forgive me. I hope we can break up as amicably as when we first got together.” i

Noel gave up so quickly and so firmly.

Compared to how heartbroken Cecilia was, he sounded so casual—as if he had never loved her.

Perhaps her mother was right.

A man born of a poor family could never resist the temptation of money.

Cecilia shut her eyes, heart-broken. That 450 thousand dollars…

Noel must have taken it.
