Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1287

Noel couldn’t help but smile as he continued the conversation he had hesitated to start earlier. “Sir, you’ve changed.”

Julian raised an eyebrow, “Changed? How so?”

“You’ve become more humane,” Noel replied.

Upon hearing this, Julian’s expression became momentarily stern. However, his eyes seemed to sparkle. His face, however, returned to its usual demeanor, complete with his tightly drawn jawline. It gave off an intimidating aura.

“Speak quickly!”

It was that tone, that ruthlessness, and an intensity akin to an adrenaline rush that made anyone listening to Julian tremble.

Noel himself couldn’t help but shiver.

Julian seemed satisfied with this reaction. He looked at Noel as if the latter were his younger brother. Noel had stood by his side with true loyalty and sincerity for many years.

After a moment, Julian said, “Go and fall in love, Noel.”

Julian continued, “What you should do for Cecilia now isn’t about repaying her or showing gratitude.

“Then, what is it?”

“You should show her some love,” Julian said firmly, sound quite proud. “As someone who has been in your position before, I can share my experience.

What Cecilia hopes right now is not for you to treat her to dinner or take her to a park. She doesn’t hope for you to send her supplements to express her gratitude.”

Noel’s face grew gloomier as Julian spoke.

“Sir… The things you mentioned not to do are exactly what I had in mind to express my gratitude.”

Taking Cecilia out for dinner, strolling in the park with her, or delivering nutritional supplements to thank her for helping him gather information. Those were all ways of repaying her that Noel had contemplated, i But now, Julian was telling him that he shouldn’t do any of those things.

It seemed Noel was stepping on landmines in every aspect of his approach.

Julian didn’t seem surprised at all. Only a hint of disdain crossed his features.

“You’re not allowed to do any of those things! Not a single one. Do you hear me?”

Noel nodded awkwardly.

He felt like a primary school student seeking guidance from a college student.

“Sir… If I can’t do those things, what should I do?”

Cecilia had mentioned her expectations for his gratitude when she provided him with information about Jim.

Noel was in a dilemma.

His brow furrowed deeply, a sight not seen even during his previous business challenges alongside Julian. It appeared dating was proving to be quite the challenge for him.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Fortunately, Julian was cleverer in this regard.

Look at where he was now!

He had a wife and children, and he enjoyed the warmth of his family life. He was about to welcome another pair of twins, too.

Julian remembered how he had missed Diana’s last doctor’s appointment, and felt a bit guilty. He resolved not to miss any future ones. He didn’t want his two daughters to resent their daddy for missing the beautiful moments of their development in their mother’s womb.

With this in mind, Julian couldn’t stay in the study any longer. He was eager to find Diana. He wanted to touch her baby bump and check on her, and talk to the little girls inside her belly.

As he was about to leave, he repeated, “Go show her your love, Noel.”

He emphasized once more, “Noel, Cecilia hopes your way of showing gratitude is through a normal, regular romantic relationship.”

Noel was bewildered. He and Cecilia were already in love, so how could their love not be normal?

“Isn’t my relationship with Cecilia normal?” he asked.

Was it because their positions didn’t match, with him being her assistant and her being the heiress of the Jarvis family?

Julian glared at him, exasperated. “You blockhead! Hold hands, kiss, hug!”
