Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Even his voice was different.

This man’s voice was quite hoarse, rich, and deep. It could be considered pleasant; in fact, it had a unique feeling.

Cecilia took a sip of coffee.

“I’m not saying you should have worn a voice changer. I didn’t want to wear it at first, either. It was the waitress who suggested that wearing it would make blind dates more fun. So I thought, ‘Yeah, wearing it will give it a cosplay vibe.’ So, I decided to wear it.

“As for whether you wear it or not, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is whether we can have a good conversation.

“If two people are in love, then voices…”

Cecilia trailed off, and her voice suddenly became melancholy.

Inevitably, her thoughts turned to Noel.

Noel was Cecilia’s first true love.

She had liked Julian before, but that didn’t count as love and didn’t leave a deep impression in her heart.

Noel, on the other hand, was someone who made her feel happy and experience the pain of happiness being shattered because of love.

Such a profound past couldn’t be ignored.

At that moment, she was sitting across a man.

She couldn’t help but compare them.

Comparing them in conversation.
