Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1405

Someone like Noel, Ginny thought, with a mouth more distressing than a typical straight guy’s, seemed to be his major flaw.

This explained why, despite his appearance and temperament, he couldn’t find a partner.

It ultimately led him to this blind date in their café.

Ginny instinctively looked at Cecilia. Cecilia’s expression matched what Ginny had in mind, appearing both awkward and amusing.

Ginny promptly filled up some coffee for Cecilia. She gave Cecilia a friendly smile, as if she hadn’t heard anything, before quietly exiting their blind date corner.

Ginny’s refilling of Cecilia’s coffee had acted as a buffer that conveniently suppressed Cecilia’s momentary anger.

Now, she could resume talking to the man in front of her as usual. For some reason, he once again reminded her of Noel. As the saying went: once bitten, twice shy.

Cecilia took a sip of coffee, and returned her voice to the original mature tone before she continued, “Okay, you’re quite honest. You’re not saying sweet words to deceive me.”

The normal, mature tone sounded pleasant, unlike that childish voice that made Noel shiver all over. Hearing his blind date change her voice, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that what Cecilia said before was true. Sometimes, being a bit more patient with girls could make both parties happy.

It was like when she said she was cold. Back then, he shouldn’t have said he wasn’t cold and asked her to go home quickly.

He should have taken off his coat and endured the cold with her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He should have also lingered a bit longer at the door.

Unfortunately, there was no chance now. She didn’t and wouldn’t believe him at all.

Her mistrust of him deeply hurt him.

Noel smiled. “I don’t know how to say sweet words.”

Even this tone was a bit like Noel’s.

The more Cecilia thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Suppressing the urge to lift the bamboo curtain in front of her, she continued the questioning.

“If my parents are dissatisfied with you after we’re in a relationship and want to give you a lot of money, like fifteen million, to leave me, would you agree?”

Noel was silent. Why did this sound so much like what he just experienced?

However, he wouldn’t take someone else’s money before, and he wouldn’t now—even if it’s just answering a hypothetical question.

“Would you?” He answered her question with a question.

Cecilia was somewhat displeased, suddenly feeling that the other party was being a bit cunning.

She got angry. “You were tempted, weren’t you?”

“I wasn’t.”

After listening to her question, he found it somewhat absurd.

“I definitely wouldn’t take it. If I took that money, wouldn’t it be a betrayal of love?”

His voice gradually lowered, becoming softer. If one listened carefully, it carried disappointment and dissatisfaction.

“Love is so hard to come by. How could I betray it…?”

Yes, love was hard to come by. How could anyone bear to betray it…?

Cecilia’s heart ached; she thought about her rocky romantic journey, and felt like something had struck her.

Without hesitation, she pressed the button in front of the table, indicating that she had chosen this man on this blind date!

She would wait for Ginny to lift the curtain and meet him soon!
