Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1079

Chapter 1079

It was hard for Julian to refuse such hospitality. Julian knew he couldn't let down the Jarvis family, so he continued to accompany Frederick for a while.

Sue noticed they were getting along well, and her mood improved even more. She brought more food, clearly hinting that Julian should stay the night.

Julian declined, and didn’t continue drinking with Frederick.

"I should talk to Cecilia now," he said.

Sue's smile grew even more affectionate, and there was a genuine sense of satisfaction in it.

"Oh, look at us! We're in the way of the engaged couple, aren’t we?" she said. Julian couldn't help but notice her emphasizing the words 'engaged couple' in a somewhat probing manner.

However, he had no intention of discussing it openly with Sue. Instead, he just smiled in response. "No worries, it was my fault for not visiting more often."

After a few more pleasantries, Sue took Julian to Cecilia's room.

Sue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Noel Carter... I heard from Cecilia that he resigned?"

Julian nodded. "Yes."

Taking this opportunity, he handed the bills from Albert back to Sue. "Albert asked me to return this to you."

Julian didn't want to say much about Noel with Sue, not until Cecilia officially requested to dissolve the engagement.

So, he decided to end the conversation there.

Noel... It would be better if Cecilia personally explained everything to Sue and her family when the time came.

During dinner, Cecilia barely said a word and had a small appetite. However, no one at the table noticed or bothered to ask why she wasn't eating much.

However, he had some reservations about the marriage- especially since Julian was a divorcee. From a father's perspective, no one was good enough for his daughter. But Sue argued that given Cecilia's condition, they needed to plan for her future sooner rather than later.

Frederick sighed, a sign of his reluctant agreement. He hadn't expected that sitting down and chatting with Julian over dinner would go so smoothly, and that their personalities would complement each other so well.

"The young man's knowledge and conversation skills far exceeded my expectations," Frederick said with satisfaction, patting his wife's hand. ’ We're lucky to have such a son-in-law, thanks to your good judgment."

Sue smiled modestly. She squeezed Frederick's shoulder a bit more confidently. "Not at all. It's because you have good luck, darling. That's why our daughter and I are so lucky."

She didn't mention Cecilia's stay in the countryside, or Noel. She simply wanted her daughter to have a smooth marriage with Julian, and have his protection as Cecilia stayed by his side for a lifetime.

As a mother, Sue would do anything to make sure her daughter had such a good life and be forever content.

The Jarvis family had fully approved of Julian becoming their future son-in-law.
