Twist of Fate: The Stand-In Bride Chapter 19
“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

However, what excuse could she create to explain to him about meeting Harold and still maintaining the lie of her taking Zoe’s place without arousing his suspicion?The more Zoe thought about it, the more anxious she became. She boarded the bus with a heavy heart and returned to the hospital.Before entering her grandmother’s room, she took a deep breath and forced a smile.“My Cece is back! How was the blind date?” the old woman asked her as soon as she saw Celia.Celia pouted and leaned into her grandmother’s arms, acting spoiled. “Grandma, you’re so mean. You tricked me. I won’t talk to you anymore!”The old woman stroked her hair with a laugh. “Silly girl. Would you have gone to the blind date if I hadn’t tricked you? Quick. Tell me how that Harold boy was.”“Not good at all!” Celia was genuinely upset. “He was super slimy! It was our first meeting, but he tried to touch me...”“Cece, are you okay?” The old woman frowned tightly and said guiltily, “It’s my fault. I should’ve

Celia’s heart plummeted. After a long time, she turned around stiffly to look at him.“You’ve misunderstood. I...”“Come here.” Julian suddenly waved her over expressionlessly.The atmosphere was icy and heavy.Celia reluctantly stepped over only to watch him sit on the edge of the bed and toss the towel at her. “Dry my hair.”Celia had no choice but to pick up the towel and stand in front of him, rubbing his wet hair dry. Her mind was in chaos, and she was trying to figure out how to handle the situation.She was so distracted that she did not even notice that the towel covered his face and that she was rubbing his eyes...Julian let out a pained grunt. Celia looked down in shock and found that his eyes were slightly red.“I’m sorry! Does it hurt... Ah!”The next second, the towel in her hands fell to the ground as he suddenly yanked her into his arms!Celia tried to struggle, but Julian’s hand held her waist firmly, pressing her against him. His other hand lifted her chin,

Celia trembled uncontrollably, overwhelmed by frustration. Her chest grew colder and colder.She forced herself to hold back the tears threatening to fall.Then, she smiled softly and wrapped her slender arms around his neck, her beautiful eyes brimming with seduction.“Yeah, Julian. You’re completely right! From the day I entered the Hayes’, I’ve been trying to seduce you! You’re also attracted to my body, aren’t you?“I’m the kind of woman who can’t live without men. I love sleeping with all kinds of men, so why don’t you try touching my filthy body? I’m really open in bed, so I promise it’ll be worth your while!”While Julian listened to the woman’s soft voice, his gaze was fixed on her delicate lips opening and closing. He found himself gradually being lost in her eyes, and a fire began to ignite within him in an unprecedented surge of desire.Celia felt the heat from the man’s chest intensify, and his cold eyes swirled with a deep, dark emotion. Her heart skipped a beat as f

“Get away! Don’t touch me!”Celia used all her strength to break free from his arms. She stumbled and crashed heavily onto the ground.Pain instantly shot through her elbow, knees, and especially her injured foot. It was so excruciating that her vision darkened, and she almost passed out.“Ugh...”She could not hold back any longer and lay there on the cold, wet floor, bursting into tears.The shower was still running, completely drenching her as she curled up into a small ball...Julian looked at her trembling back and suddenly snapped back to his senses. He quickly turned off the shower and bent down to pick her up.However, just as he touched her shoulder, she suddenly raised her head and glared at him. “I said, don’t touch me!”Her nose was red from crying, and her eyes were also swollen. She looked like an angry little kitten. Her eyes were filled with an overwhelming injustice, grievance, and innocence...Julian could not help but freeze. Those emotions were so real and
