Lahat ng Kabanata ng Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Kabanata 1071 - Kabanata 1080

Diana felt somewhat relieved, and continued toward the next station for her transfer.Unbeknownst to her, Julian was sitting across from her and observing from a distance. He was afraid of being noticed when she got closer.Diana had appeared uneasy on the subway earlier, constantly looking around. Julian was cautious not to get too close, but he had still arranged for a bodyguard to follow Diana. She had encountered trouble on the subway before. Moreover, what happened with Matt had yet to be completely resolved. Julian couldn't let Diana go without someone watching over her.As for himself, he exited the subway station and got into a black Rolls-Royce. He arrived at the agreed-upon location ahead of Diana.Just like before, he chose a private room with curtains. The cuisine here was light, and a suitable diet for her recuperation. As for the curtains, they would provide a solid barrier between him and Diana, separating the two of them even though they were in the same room. Eac

After all, Julian and Cecilia had an engagement.A man like him, perfect in appearance, intelligence, and physique, should have no trouble making Cecilia fall in love with him again if he wanted to.-The countryside was cold. Albert's house had no central heating. The only way for Cecilia to keep warm was the stove in front of her, which could both cook and provide warmth.Cecilia rubbed her nose, and couldn't control a sneeze. "What's going on?" she muttered to herself. "Is someone insulting me?"Her sneezes seemed to have a life of their own, constantly escaping from her mouth. It made her nose itch terribly, and she felt quite uncomfortable.Albert had already guessed that Cecilia wasn't from an ordinary family. She had been pampered since childhood, and her delicate constitution was evident. He quickly fetched a blanket for her. "Wrap this around you. It's too cold here." Then he asked her, "Why hasn't Mr. Fulcher returned to pick you up?"It had been two to three day

Cecilia was confined to the car, unable to do anything. She was embarrassed and wanted to apologize to Albert, but Sue had already rolled up the car window, and the driver had locked it. Cecilia could only comply as Sue guided her, heading slowly toward the Jarvis family residence.As the car drove away, the momentum tossed some of the money further into the air. Despite the biting winter wind and the money swirling around, Albert remained rooted in place, unmoving.He just stood there, staring blankly as the car moved farther away. Having worked in the Fulcher family for so many years, he wasn’t an inexperienced man. That license plate number...looked far from ordinary.Cecilia told him that she liked Noel before her mother arrived. Albert wondered if that was why he hadn't been able to contact his son these past few days.Noel... He probably knew his place.The Carter family couldn't match up to a wealthy young lady like Cecilia.The car finally disappeared from Albert's

Sue had always gone out of her way to hug Cecilia. Cecilia used to think that as long as she had her mother's embrace, she would have boundless strength. But since she got sick and started losing control of herself—especially when her illness was at its worst—her mother had rarely hugged her. Now, being embraced by her mother again, that warmth seemed to return.Perhaps she was overthinking things. Cecilia lowered her gaze. She was just about to apologize to Sue for hiding the fact that she searched for Noel in secret when she heard Sue say, "That’s in the past. Don't bring it up again. You’re a good and perfect child. How could you have gotten that illness?"Sue pouted, and continued, "Plus, your engagement with Julian isn't something just anyone can have."The tone and emphasis were familiar, but Cecilia found them strangely foreign. Her mother...wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and erase her illness, rather than fully accepting her.Cecilia's throat tightened as i

It was hard for Julian to refuse such hospitality. Julian knew he couldn't let down the Jarvis family, so he continued to accompany Frederick for a while. Sue noticed they were getting along well, and her mood improved even more. She brought more food, clearly hinting that Julian should stay the night.Julian declined, and didn't continue drinking with Frederick. "I should talk to Cecilia now," he said.Sue's smile grew even more affectionate, and there was a genuine sense of satisfaction in it."Oh, look at us! We're in the way of the engaged couple, aren't we?" she said. Julian couldn't help but notice her emphasizing the words 'engaged couple' in a somewhat probing manner.However, he had no intention of discussing it openly with Sue. Instead, he just smiled in response. "No worries, it was my fault for not visiting more often."After a few more pleasantries, Sue took Julian to Cecilia's room.Sue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Noel Carter… I heard from Cecilia that h
