Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1324

“He’s just a poor loser who found success in this city, and is trying to climb the social ladder by sticking to my family. I’ll never give him the chance!” Cecilia yelled.

Diana fell silent. Noel was not someone like that.

He wasn’t poor right now, either. The various investments he made and the bonuses he earned were equivalent to the profits of a middle-size company in the market.

Rather than a poor man who found success in the city, he could be considered a golden bachelor.

Cecilia’s face darkened with displeasure.

If Diana went on with the topic, not only would Cecilia refuse to listen, but she might also detest Noel even more.

“Please don’t misunderstand,” Diana said gently as she held Cecilia’s hand, trying to resolve the misunderstanding with utmost sincerity. “I do want to mediate things between you and Noel, but I genuinely want to be your friend, too.

“If you really don’t think that there’s any misunderstanding between you and Noel, and you really don’t want to be with him anymore, I won’t talk about it anymore in the future. Please don’t feel uncomfortable.”

Otherwise, Diana would feel as though she was forcing Cecilia into a corner. She couldn’t do such a thing.

Cecilia nodded. “Yes! I really want to break up with Noel. No matter what you say or how much you try to persuade me, I won’t get back together with him again.”

“Even if there really is a misunderstanding?” Diana asked.

“There can’t possibly be one!” Cecilia insisted stubbornly, refusing to give Noel a chance.

Upon reaching home, Diana told Noel about what happened that day. Noel wasn’t the least bit surprised. “I expected things to turn out like that.”

“Look at the wound on my hand.” Noel showed Diana his hand, and went on with a bitter smile. “Cecilia stomped on it.”

She was utterly ruthless to him. If she kept doing it, she might have injured his bone.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Cecilia did this?!” Diana said in disbelief. “How could a weak and vulnerable lady like her…” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“She even smokes now,” Noel said. “I snatched the cigarette away from her, but she refused to let me. She seemed so familiar with lighting the cigarette…

“It’s clear that her hatred for me over these past few days is overwhelming.

“She really believed what her mom said about me taking 1.5 million from her family just to break up with her.”

“Have you tried explaining things to her?” Diana was shocked to hear what Noel told her. She felt as if the Cecilia whom Noel was describing was different from the Cecilia she knew.

Still, there were traces of stubbornness and insanity in her. That was demonstrated clearly after Julian splashed paint on her. It was also what caused her to go mad, and marked the start of her affection for Noel.

Even so, Diana didn’t expect things between Cecilia and Noel to turn out like this, all because of Sue’s machinations.

“No,” Noel said, “there’s no use explaining. Cecilia wouldn’t believe you.”

“How would you know explaining is useless if you don’t try?”

“I…” Noel shook his head. “Whatever it is, it’s useless. I don’t want to think about anything related to Cecilia.”

Despite that, he didn’t treat the wound on his hand. His clothes were still in disarray.

He clearly didn’t care about the state he was in right now. Rather, his mind was probably still occupied by Cecilia.

Even his brows were subconsciously furrowed, looking crestfallen.

He couldn’t get out of his funk, no matter how hard he tried.

All he said about not thinking about Cecilia was because he was at his wit’s end.

This time, Noel was thoroughly heartbroken.

Before this, he always looked bright and lively.
