Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1482

Chapter 1482

After a while, Julian persuaded Noel, “If anything happened to her and you didn’t pick up the call, you’ll regret it your entire life.”

He was more experienced in the area of romance.

Back then, had he been more patient in explaining things to Diana or communicated more with her, she wouldn’t have had to suffer so much all by herself and even leave Richburgh.

Right now, it was clear that Noel was still unable to let go of Cecilia. Yet, he was pretending to be indifferent about her and insisting against picking up her calls. It reminded Julian of how foolish he had been in the past.

Noel pondered over Julian’s words.

Ultimately, he shook his head. “No, I won’t pick up her call.”

He continued driving. He then glanced at the GPS, and said,” But I want to use your phone to call her.”

He wanted to see if Cecilia would pick up the call of another person. With that, he could see if she was trying to play a prank on him or not.

“We don’t have each other’s number,” Julian said. It was ideal to use his number to call Cecilia. He handed his phone to Noel. “Dial her number yourself.”

Noel looked at the GPS, and noticed that they were drawing closer to the next rest area. He hurriedly dialed Cecilia’s number.

Her phone rang, but no one picked up.

He called again, and no one picked up this time, either. The call wasn’t disconnected, but it kept ringing. Yet, no one picked up.

He tried sending Cecilia a text. “Hello, your package has been delivered. Please come out and take it.”

He didn’t receive a reply to that, either.

If it were in the past, Cecilia would have eagerly replied.

The thing she looked forward to most was receiving packages and opening them. When she had a package in hand, it would usually take her less than two seconds to open it.

Yet now, there was no response from her whatsoever.

Noel began feeling uneasy.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Julian could sense the shift in his mood, and said, “Go back to Richburgh. No matter what happened to Cecilia, you should go back and take a look.”

With that, he got someone to locate Cecilia’s phone. That was when they found something strange.

“She’s in an old, dilapidated house along Second Ring Road. She wouldn’t usually go to places like that.”

People like her, who grew up in rich families, always hung out with people of their rank and status. It was unlikely for

Cecilia to know someone living in such poor conditions, and even less likely for her to stay in a place like that.

At that moment, the image of that car they saw parked at the entrance of the ghetto where they were looking for Isaac flashed past Noel’s mind.

At that time…

He seemed to have seen Cecilia.

He thought he saw a chubby man seated at the driver’s seat.

He had found it strange at that time, and thought he must have seen it wrongly. Now that he thought about it, the woman seated in the car must have been Cecilia!

“Something’s happened to her!”

Noel immediately came to the conclusion about Cecilia’s current plight. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

He started to panic, but before he could say anything further, Julian said, “The next junction is the last rest area. We’ll arrive at our destination after we pass it. You’ve accompanied me through the entire journey. Now, it’s time for you to go back and settle your affairs.”

Noel was a salaried employee under Julian’s leadership. Even without accounting for his salary, given their close relationship, Noel couldn’t possibly leave Julian at a time when he needed help the most.

“So much danger lurks right ahead on this trip,” Noel said with a shake of his head. “I’ll get someone else to go to where Cecilia is right now. I won’t go back.”

“If you don’t and if something really happens to Cecilia, you’ll regret it your entire life,” Julian repeated.

She had called and even texted him. This proved that Noel was still the first person that came to her mind at the most critical moment.

Julian understood what it felt like to be so needed by another.

He also understood that even if Noel stayed by his side, his attention would be tuned in somewhere else. Noel would certainly be filled with worry.

“I’ll regret it my entire life if I go back,” Noel said, effectively stopping Julian from trying to persuade him further.

He immediately called the Fulcher family’s bodyguards, and tasked them to go over and check things out. Under his command, the bodyguards began heading out.

Noel sighed in relief, then said optimistically, “See, Mr. Fulcher? Our men can handle this easily.”

Even if something happened to Cecilia, it wouldn’t be anything too serious.
