Julian’s Stand-In Wife

For a moment, Sue couldn’t bring herself to speak.

But Cecilia was now in her room, having faced yet another unfortunate event.

Sue dared not think about how bad the situation had been.

All she knew was that her daughter was ruined-truly ruined this time.

“Noel, marry Cecilia. Someone will come over shortly, and I’ll announce your wedding date.”

Noel’s eyes widened, and there was mockery in his eyes.
