After the Divorce, CEO Realizes He’s the Stand-In Lover

Chapter 168 unfinished sentiments?

“You can’t invite Natalie to dinner,” Niki’s face turned ugly, her tone filled with a hint of sadness.

“I’m talking to Julian, not you,” the old master slammed the table upon hearing Niki’s voice.

Startled by the old master’s actions, Niki fell silent…

And hid behind Julian.

Julian furrowed his brows and pulled Niki behind him.

Suddenly, a man’s hand reached out, catching Niki off guard. She could only turn halfway before.

being embraced by the man..

His breath surrounded her, familiar yet unfamiliar. Though mixed with an unfamiliar feeling, this

presence undoubtedly provided her with a great sense of security at that moment.

She half-lay in Julian’s embrace, hearing his soft voice. Julian lifted his head, facing the old master

directly. “You don’t need to trouble Nianer.”

His calm and composed voice undoubtedly stood up for her. Niki looked up, her eyes instantly

shining with a new light.

“Brother Julian…”

Grandpa Graham coldly observed as his grandson shielded the woman behind him.

He snorted, “I’m asking you a question! Are you willing to invite Nana for a meal at our house?”

Julian remained silent.

Grandfather Graham Group cane struck the floor with greater force, causing the entire floor to

tremble.

With an imposing air, he gazed at his grandson and asked once again, each word enunciated, “Answer me, are you willing or not?”

Niki clenched her fists.

She held her breath, afraid to even exhale, eagerly awaiting Julian’s response.

Since Julian hadn’t answered yet, Linda grew anxious. “Julian, Nana has done such a huge favor for the Graham family, and you won’t even invite her for a meal?”

“Even if Nana hadn’t resolved the matter for the Graham family today, you would still have to treat someone to a meal, wouldn’t you?”

As Linda spoke, she furrowed her brow and inquired, her tone probing, “Could it be that you have feelings for Nana and that’s why you don’t want to see her?”

“Of course not.”

Julian finally spoke this time, perhaps out of spite, and immediately rejected Linda’s earlier words.
