Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Someone like Noel, Ginny thought, with a mouth more distressing than a typical straight guy’s, seemed to be his major flaw.

This explained why, despite his appearance and temperament, he couldn’t find a partner.

It ultimately led him to this blind date in their café.

Ginny instinctively looked at Cecilia. Cecilia’s expression matched what Ginny had in mind, appearing both awkward and amusing.

Ginny promptly filled up some coffee for Cecilia. She gave Cecilia a friendly smile, as if she hadn’t heard anything, before quietly exiting their blind date corner.

Ginny’s refilling of Cecilia’s coffee had acted as a buffer that conveniently suppressed Cecilia’s momentary anger.

Now, she could resume talking to the man in front of her as usual. For some reason, he once again reminded her of Noel. As the saying went: once bitten, twice shy.

Cecilia took a sip of coffee, and returned her voice to the original mature tone before she continued, “Okay, you’re quite honest. You’re not saying sweet words to deceive me.”

The normal, mature tone sounded pleasant, unlike that childish voice that made Noel shiver all over. Hearing his blind date change her voice, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
