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.

Sue clenched her fists, looking at Noel. “It’s simple. Do you still like Cecilia?”

Noel remained silent.

From his silence, Sue detected a glimmer of encouragement.

“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.

“Mrs. Jarvis, have you forgotten that I took money from your family? Aren’t I just a greedy man who was interested in money, and wanted a woman who could care for me?”

In reality, he never took that money.

Sue had lied about it to encourage Cecilia to break up with him. Facing Noel’s scorn in person, she felt as if someone had slapped her in the face. She was so ashamed, she couldn’t say a word.
