Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1410



Chapter 1410

Larry felt a bit uncomfortable upon hearing this.

When it came to the dowry for his marriage with Lulu, he was willing to bear whatever was within his capacity.

Even if it suddenly doubled, he wouldn’t mind.

However, now that it was related to her younger brother’s marriage…

He believed in the deep bond between siblings, but there should be some limits. However, seeing Lulu’s attitude, she clearly didn’t think there was any problem.

Larry reluctantly agreed. “Let me discuss it with my parents.”

As he had said before, he would treat her well for a lifetime. He couldn’t harbor negative thoughts even before their wedding.

Larry’s parents were also very understanding, and quickly provided a solution for their son, “We’ll cover the dowry. As for the house… Your father and I will move out, so you don’t need to worry.”

Youngsters nowadays prefer not to live with their parents, and Larry’s parents understood this well. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Thank you, Mom and Dad. You’re sacrificing so much. I’ll definitely take good care of you in the future!”

Larry’s mother consoled him gently. “Whether you take good care of us or not, we brought you into this world to experience the joy of growing up together with you. Besides, we’ll be the ones uncomfortable living with you once you’re married. As long as you and your wife live happily, we’re content.”

Touched by their words, Larry promised, “I’ll make sure Lulu and I have a good life! We must let everyone around us know that our family has an exceptionally beautiful and considerate daughter-in- law.”

Larry then shared the story of how Lulu had proposed to him today.

“She’s not like other girls, asking for expensive bags or waiting for me to support her. She’s independent, ambitious, gentle, and considerate. Once you meet her, you’ll surely like her!”

Larry’s parents nodded in approval. “We’re used to seeing girls who love luxury, spending tens of thousands on a bag. Someone like Lulu is indeed worth cherishing.”

After discussing, the elderly couple made a decision.

“As for the dowry, we can give a little more. We’ll round it up to ninety-nine thousand. This represents our appreciation for Lulu.”

Larry nodded. “I’ll quickly inform Lulu!”

Before he could make the call, Lulu called him first.

Having solved his parents’ issues, Larry was now both happy and proud. He felt like he could hold his head high in front of Lulu, and that he could provide her with a better life.

“Hello, Lulu, guess what? My parents have decided to move out, and as for the dowry…”

“Sniff, sniff…” Lulu’s crying voice came through the phone.

The delicate sound of a woman’s cry sent shivers down Larry’s spine.

The joy on his face gradually faded. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Don’t cry! Hurry, tell me, what happened?”

“Sob, sob… Larry, I’m sorry. Our marriage…might not happen…”

How could that be?!

His parents were so supportive, and he liked Lulu so much. How could their marriage not happen?

Larry panicked. He avoided his parents, went outside, and asked, “What’s going on? Tell me. I’m sure we can solve it.”

Lulu’s crying paused for a moment. “Really?”

Larry nodded. “Of course!”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be qualified to marry her!

Lulu then said with a relieved tone, “My parents won’t compromise on the dowry. It’s been five or six minutes since I sent you the message, and you haven’t replied. Is it because your family doesn’t agree to it?”

This sentence choked Larry.

“Lulu, it’s not that we don’t agree to it. My parents even willingly increased it from seventy-five thousand to ninety-nine thousand. They even offered to move out and leave the bigger house to us. It’s just…”

“Just what?”

“Ninety-nine thousand is all they can afford. I wanted to wait a bit longer to save up some money myself, and see if I could get it up to the amount your parents asked for.”

“Heh.” Lulu’s tone turned from crying to mocking.

“I knew it! You men are so shrewd! I haven’t even married into your family, and you’re already considering burdening me with debt! The so-called dowry sounds nice, and you wanted to give it to me, but in reality, it’s a debt. After I marry you, I’ll have to work with you to repay the debt in misery!”
