Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 887

Chapter 887

He clearly held Cecilia in high regard.

Sue continued teasing her daughter. "Why are you being so shy?"

“I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Cecilia was like a little girl, unable to take the stares everyone was giving her. She stood up and ran into her room. Right after she shut the door, she flopped onto her bed. She could feel her heart beating like a drum.

She opened the jewelry box containing the pink diamond necklace, her fingertips running over every single detail.

She shut her eyes, as if trying to feel Julian's heart.

The date one week later...

She looked forward to it!

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

Diana had been rushing out the dress over the past few days, and didn't get much sleep. She looked sallow and haggard.

Julian didn't tease her about looking like an old hag, as he usually did. He didn't look good, either; his face was dark in a way that differed from his usual look.

He usually looked purely cold and disdainful. But now...

There was a trace of sorrow and wistfulness in his eyes.

Who was he yearning for?

Why was he in sorrow?

She had told him to come to her studio today, and she wondered if he still remembered.

Just as Diana was about to confirm that he was coming lest Cecilia come in vain, Julian took the initiative to ask her, " What time is good?"

She was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that he meant to ask a suitable time for her.

"Eight in the morning."

She would open her door for business right after breakfast. Cecilia was the only customer she was scheduled to serve today.

Oliver said that this was her studio's rule. On the day she arranged to give custom-made pieces to her customers, her studio would only be open for that particular customer.

Upon hearing her words, Julian made up his mind. "That's what I think, too."

They were too young, and it wasn't appropriate forthem to go to the cemetery.

He decided to just listen to Diana, and hide from the twins the fact that they had two older siblings for now.

Diana didn't expect him to be so agreeable today, and was pleasantly surprised. "See you at the studio later, okay?"

"Sure."

If they talked things out at home, the twins would overhear their conversation easily. It was better to talk at the studio.

Julian glanced at her and said, 'You've really thought things through this time."

Diana laughed awkwardly. For some reason, she found Julian rather strange today. He was being so courteous to her.

Perhaps it was because he guessed that she had called Cecilia to her shop on his behalf today? Or perhaps, he was thankful to her for creating such a golden opportunity for them?

What a great ex-husband he was.

An inexplicably bitter feeling rose in her chest.
