Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1225

Chapter 1225

However, she couldn’t use her family's information network to help him while her own love life was in turmoil.

If anything went wrong, it wouldn't just affect her, but also her entire family-the same family that adored her.

"That’ll put you in a difficult situation, right?" Noel rubbed his hands, feeling awkward.

It was really strange. He wasn't cold earlier, but now, he felt like stomping his feet on the ground to keep warm.

"If I made you uncomfortable, I'm sorry. You don't have to worry about it," Noel said, trying to ease the situation.

He was grasping at straws.

He pushed Cecilia inside the gate and said, "You should go inside. It’s cold out here."

He didn't say he couldn't bear to part with her, nor did he request a hug, even though he wanted one.

Cecilia watched his retreating figure, increasingly convinced that this wasn't what dating should feel like.

It was almost less passionate than when they were in the early stages of courtship. Back then, she would have occasional relapses, and Noel would monitor her meals and prepare gloves for her when it got cold. He would even put on a suit and make funny faces to cheer her up if she was feeling down.

"I really thought I was the most important person to him," Cecilia said. She couldn't help but call Diana and tell the latter what had happened.

Diana was half-asleep when she picked up the call. She listened to Cecilia's words, absentmindedly responding now and then.

When she reached out to touch Julian, she expected to find a warm body. However, the other side of the bed was empty.

The covers were cold. Julian hadn't been in bed the whole time.

Diana instantly felt more awake. Holding the phone to her ear, her eyes darted around the room. She eventually spotted Julian on the balcony, standing alone in the night, looking somewhat desolate.

He was clearly troubled by something.

Diana got out of bed to go to him.

However, Cecilia could sense Diana's distracted state.

"Diana! Are you even listening to me?" Cecilia asked.

Cecilia's cheeks turned red in embarrassment.

Diana was unaware of Cecilia's amusing thoughts, but she didn't dislike Cecilia. She even felt like a protective older sister at times.

Cecilia was a beautiful and polite girl, who occasionally sent nutritional supplements to Diana and bought Betty's favorite dolls.

It was hard to hate such a considerate lady.

Moreover, Diana always felt slightly guilty towards Cecilia because of past events. So, Diana was very indulgent with her.

That was why she answered Cecilia's call, even in the middle of the night. This was a level of attention even Julian didn't receive.

Diana had a slight backache from sleeping, and a bit of an odd taste in her mouth.

These days, she was eating better than before.

She casually grabbed an avocado, and started munching on it. This fruit was high in nutrients and good for the babies.
