Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1404

The moment Cecilia heard someone invite her for a long trip, joy filled her. Even her body and mind relaxed considerably. Her shoulders slumped lazily against the back of the seat.

The spontaneity of the invitation was something she appreciated. Being with such a person meant life wouldn’t lack freshness and excitement.

Cecilia now had some experience with love. Though she couldn’t say she was at complete ease when conversing with men, she knew how to steer the conversation while chatting.

Even the voice changer turned her initially unpleasant mature voice into a cute childish voice.

“In what position would you take me cherry-picking?”

When the person on the other side changed the tone, Noel hesitated. He wanted to express his dislike for deliberately sweet voices. Thinking back to their good conversation just now, everything seemed compatible, so he held back.

Cecilia used to say he was far too straightforward. Thus he kept the unpleasant comments to himself, because the girl probably meant well and was expressing her liking towards him.

Cecilia asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Noel replied, “No reason. I was just thinking about your question, so I didn’t rush to answer.”

“Have you figured out how to answer it?”

Noel shook his head. “No, I still haven’t.”

Although Cecilia had told him not to be too direct, Noel already held back his thoughts about the girl using a childish voice.

He didn’t want to hide his feelings on any other matter. Otherwise, this blind date would be meaningless.

Blind dates should showcase one’s true self. Otherwise, when the curtain was lifted, both sides would expect the “fake persona” they had been conversing with.

They might even start to feel that they wouldn’t get along with the real person when they started to get to know each other more.

So, Noel continued, “I just said I wanted to pick cherries with you in the heat of the moment. Unfortunately, it’s true that I have a cold now, and I can’t go. Now that I’ve calmed down, I think I wouldn’t go even if I wasn’t sick.

“Moreover, I wouldn’t have invited you. Naturally, there’s no question of taking you along and what position I would have when going with you.”

What a typical inconsiderate male statement!

When Noel said this, Ginny happened to pass by. She couldn’t help but glance in Noel’s direction.

His clothes weren’t made of ordinary fabric; they looked well-tailored, and although he looked a bit disheveled, he gave the impression of a talented youth.

In theory, with such appearance and temperament, he wouldn’t find it difficult to attract a partner in real life.

After hearing his straightforward words just now, though, Ginny had to admit…

Truly high-quality men, with no flaws, caring and articulate, were long picked by girls back in their school days.

In comparison to women, the basic level of men in their country was always a bit lower.

Men enjoyed gender advantages since childhood, so those who matured early weren’t as competitive as women, who knew from a young age that they had to rely on themselves for everything.

However, this situation has also produced numerous outstanding women. They left unfriendly environments through hard work and came to Richburgh, a tolerant and inclusive metropolis.

This further led to abnormalities in the marriage market. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

For example, men from rural areas with poor conditions struggled to find partners. At the same time, many city girls couldn’t find suitable partners.

One group faced challenges due to poor conditions, while the other, having good conditions and the ability to support themselves, enjoyed life and wasn’t in a hurry to find a partner.

As for those good men, they had long since been off the market. Girls who liked them back had secured them without hesitation back in their younger days.
