Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1467

Larry's anxiousness made her uncomfortable.

However, she didn't want to shatter the positive impression she had of Larry over the past few days at this moment. Even so, she couldn't help but think about how small the room was.

If she really wanted to be with Larry, and he proved to be reliable, she could have her mom buy them a large villa to live in.

But, the thought of being with Larry...

There was still some uneasiness in her heart.

She still needed some time.

While Cecilia was contemplating, she walked to the door.

Her fingers landed on the handle, and she turned it.

Click.

The sound was heard, but the door didn't open.

Cecilia turned around, and looked at Larry. "What's going on? Is the lock broken?"

She tried turning it a few more times, but it wouldn't budge.

Larry walked over. "I locked it."

This lock was the latest model of a password lock. If locked from the inside using a mobile app, and no one could open it.

This feature was originally designed to prevent children from sneaking out of the house, but had now become Larry's tool to keep Cecilia inside.

Cecilia looked up in surprise. "Why did you lock it?"

Larry approached her gradually. He didn't have a domineering presence or anything, and he would easily blend into a crowd.

However, he was still a man. Cecilia instinctively felt pressure and discomfort as he approached her.

She placed her hands between them, subconsciously maintaining a certain distance.

Larry quickly stopped.

He had a dependable and simple appearance. Cecilia's anxious heart immediately settled. Perhaps she was overthinking it just now.

"No, of course not." Larry looked puzzled, gazing at Cecilia. "Didn't you say you date with the intention of getting married?"

Cecilia nodded, her arms already crossed in a defensive posture. "And then?"

"And then, you'll marry me! You're not planning to abandon me, are you?" Larry shot back.

On his face, there was complete terror—a weakling’s cowardice. It was as if Cecilia's words would decide his life or death.

However, Cecilia wasn't a saint.

There was no need to fantasize about whether a man would disregard life based on one sentence. On the contrary, if Larry was such a man and so irresponsible, there was no need to continue getting involved with him.

"We haven't even started, so how can there be abandonment?" Cecilia was visibly impatient.

Her politeness was gone, and her voice became much louder.

"Larry! Hurry up and open the door!"

The atmosphere in the room now frightened her deeply.
