Twist of Fate: The Stand-In Bride Chapter 15
"What are you doing?"Celia panicked and attempted to escape.To stop her, Julian shockingly used his knee to part her legs, squeezing between them. He placed his arms on the table, forcefully trapping her."Who do you like?""What?"Celia felt both embarrassed and confused by his restraint. Her face was pressed against his chest, and as her face chafed against the rough fabric of his suit, it gradually turned red and hot.She also placed her hands on the table, leaning back to create some distance between them.However, the man was a devil. He bent down maliciously. For every inch she retreated, he advanced by a foot…She was about to fall back onto the table surface and had to compromise, retorting, "Why are you asking me this?""I want to see how high your standards are, Miss Zoe, who finds even me distasteful."Celia was stunned, taking a moment to realize that she must have made her disdain obvious earlier.No wonder he acted so strangely.Clearly, he had misunderstood

It felt as if the heavy stone in her heart finally lifted.Celia was so delighted that her movements became swift. In no time, she had finished tidying up the scattered suits on the floor.She strode out of the walk-in closet but suddenly tripped on something and fell forward!The next second, her hand hit a wall and seemed to press a button.Just as she lost control and fell to the ground, she watched helplessly as the door of the walk-in closet closed...Darkness enveloped the room.Celia’s ankle throbbed. She gritted her teeth through the pain and curled up, trying to fumble for her phone to call for help.However, she could not find it. She had left her phone on the nightstand.Bang, bang, bang!She pounded the door with her fists, but the door was so thick that no sound could probably be heard from the outside.When the pain in her foot eased slightly, she stood on tiptoe and searched for the button on the wall.Finally, she found it!She pressed it forcefully several

After some time passed...“Thanks...” A hoarse voice came from the woman in his arms.Celia had woken up.Julian saw the tears still clinging to her thick lashes. Her eyes were swollen, and a few strands of hair that were wet from her tears stuck to her cheeks. He felt a rare pang of compassion and reached out to tidy her hair.“Don’t touch me!”However, Celia suddenly shoved him away.After calming down, she apologized in a low voice, “Sorry...”The next second, she gasped as the man suddenly picked her up like one would with a newlywed bride.She thought that he would carry her to the bed, but he brought her to the bathroom instead...“Wash up before you sleep,” Julian placed her under the shower and said seriously.The moment Celia’s feet touched the ground, she felt a sharp pain which caused her to stumble forward. Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and caught her.“What’s wrong with your foot?” Julian squatted down and gently gripped her ankle, instantly hearing her h

“You want me to...”Celia noticed the man’s gaze grow hotter and more intense. She became even more embarrassed and angry and stopped speaking.However, Julian pressed on. “I want you to what?”Celia bit her lip, seeing the faint smile on his lips. He seemed to enjoy watching her getting flustered but unable to retaliate.Suddenly, she took a deep breath and smiled gently. “Does your beloved know that you’d ask another woman this question?”Julian’s smile disappeared in an instant. He suddenly stood up, his expression dark, and strode out.Bam!He slammed the door shut.Celia immediately lay on the bed with a laugh, feeling the sweet sense of revenge. She finally found Julian’s weak spot!It was his beloved!“When his beloved shows up, I should thank her properly. She’s my protective charm right now.”Celia closed her eyes at ease, getting ready to rest.However, hunger gnawed at her. Linda woke her up in the morning and then she ended up being locked in the walk-in closet,

“Then, you...”Celia suddenly remembered how she noisily slurped down the pasta when she was hungry. It must have been horrible to watch!Did he see her?Her face flushed. For some reason, she really cared about whether he had seen her eat like a pig.Julian crossed his arms and looked at her meaningfully. “Who would’ve thought a person who looks so gentle can eat like a horse.”So, he had seen everything.Celia lowered her head in embarrassment, wringing her hands on her knees.How embarrassing...The man walked over and squatted in front of her.Celia frowned and muttered, “Did you come closer because you couldn’t see my embarrassed expression from afar?”Her face blushed as she puffed out her cheeks, looking adorable and lovely.Julian stared at her for a while before saying, “Yes.”Celia glared at him huffily, only to see him open a first aid kit.The first aid kit contained various medications, including an herbal ointment for sprains. It seemed he did not come over t

The atmosphere instantly turned cold.The joy from a moment ago was replaced by disappointment.Celia saw him standing there with an expression of surprise, confusion, and a hint of undisguised disappointment...She suddenly guessed what happened and said gently, “Julian, dyslexia is incredibly hard to cure. The fact that you were able to read just now shows there’s hope for your recovery. You might make a full recovery soon!”Julian’s expression was emotionless. He suddenly crouched down, poured some ointment to rub between his hands, and massaged it into her injured ankle.His grip was rather strong, but Celia bit her lip and endured it without speaking.When he was done, he stood up to see her pale face and frowned. “Did I hurt you? Why didn’t you tell me?”“I’m fine,” Celia murmured.The next second, Julian picked her up and carried her back into the bedroom.“Sleep.”With those words, he turned away from her and left the room.Downstairs, he passed the kitchen, rolled u

Gordon was very kind and immediately prepared the flour and oven, enthusiastically teaching her how to bake.Although she failed several times along the way, he remained patient and even joked around with her.By noon, they finally managed to bake a tray of cookies!Celia smelled the sweet aroma and smiled just as sweetly.Her little Luke would definitely love them!“Thank you!”“You’re very welcome. I’ll teach you anything you want to learn without holding back!”Celia was in a great mood and jested, “In that case, I’ll be the apprentice of the great celebrity Chef Gordon. Everyone will be jealous!”The kitchen was filled with an air of joy.Meanwhile, Julian was watching the surveillance footage of the duo chatting and laughing. His expression darkened, and his brows furrowed tightly.This woman seemed happy around other men, but around him, she acted like a nervous and timid rabbit...In the afternoon, Celia went to the hospital.“Grandma, look what I brought you.”She

“Shall I deal with it, sir?” Sam asked.“I’ll go myself.”Julian’s long legs stepped out of the car. Just as he was about to cross the road, Sam stopped him. “Sir, there’s an urgent matter at the office that needs your attention.”Julian got back into the car and ordered coldly, “Go back to the office. Also, find out Zoe’s phone number.”...Zoe was shopping at a jewelry store.“This diamond necklace looks pretty. Let me see it...”She was giving instructions to the sales assistant when her phone rang.It was an unfamiliar number. As soon as she answered, a man’s icy voice pierced through the line.“Zoe Yale, you promised to uphold your role as Mrs. Hayes. Is this how you do it?”For a moment, her mind went blank, and she immediately hung up.Was that... Julian Hayes?The next second, her phone rang again. She was so startled that she blocked the number.She gripped her phone tightly, her face turning pale. Fortunately, she did not speak first, or she would have been expos
