Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1224

Chapter 1224

Cecilia muttered, “You're not cold? Fine! I hope you freeze to death on this summer night!"

What a stupid man! She never wanted to see him again!

As Cecilia turned to leave, Noel quickly grabbed her arm.

"Ms. Jarvis!"

This blockhead seemed to have realized she was upset, and was trying to stop her from leaving.

Cecilia was delighted, though she still showed an angry expression.

"What is it?" She intentionally turned her body away, not in a hurry to look back, hoping he would coax her.

As long as he managed to coax her, she wouldn't return home for now. After all, it wasn't easy to slip away like this. She hoped to experience a breakthrough with him tonight. She wanted to know what it felt like to have her boyfriend kiss her on the cheek.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt a thrilling sensation she hadn't experienced in all these years. She had always been too obedient. After meeting Noel, this was her first time going against her family.

It was also the second time she had bravely pursued a romantic relationship.

The first time she had bravely tried had been with Julian, but she had failed.

This time, she hoped Noel wouldn't let her down.

"Never mind," Noel said as he stared at her back. He scratched his head, looking troubled. "It's so late, and you must want to go back to sleep."

He looked up at the sky. "I don't think it's cold at all, but you just said you were cold."

He was also in a difficult situation, and he continued to persuade Cecilia to return home. "You should return home. It's warmer inside."

If possible, Cecilia would have gnawed through her lips with how hard she bit it.

Her romantic fantasies were all gone! And it was all due to Noel's infuriating mouth!

By excelling in his job, he hoped to earn a higher salary from Julian soon. That would ensure that Cecilia's life wouldn't take a nosedive if she chose to be with him. In Noel's eyes, ensuring their financial security and working diligently was the ultimate way to take responsibility for Cecilia.

However, this was the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Noel was a blunt, straight shooter, and he wasn't about to tell Cecilia these things directly.

If he did, would she find him boring? Would she begin to doubt her own judgment...?

Meanwhile, Cecilia had her own thoughts.

Was she always choosing men who weren't right for her?

Until she figured this out, Cecilia didn't plan to help Noel.

She had her pride.

She could defy her mother to be with Noel. She could pick up knitting needles she'd never used before to knit him a scarf for winter. She could even call him first to make sure he was always thinking of her.
