Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 1411 - Bab 1420

She would continue being with him.“But, I can be his secret lover,” Lulu said again. She said it so casually, but Larry was thunderstruck. Blood rushed to his brain, and his temples started throbbing. “Larry, I love you, and I can’t bear to see you hurt,” Lulu went on. “If I become this man’s lover, your parents won’t need to move out of their house. You wouldn’t need to be troubled over money, too.”She started crying.“My parents wouldn’t force us to fork out 150,000 dollars, either. If I don’t get married, my brothers won't be able to get a share of my betrothal gifts.”Larry wasn’t cunning, but he wasn’t a complete fool either.He was simply too well-protected by his parents, and seldom encountered such a sly and conniving person since he was a child. In addition, most of his colleagues at work were technical geeks. Everyone spoke using technical terminologies, and few beat around the bush. He quickly understood what Lulu actually meant, despite her saying she wanted

Sue didn’t expect Cecilia’s blind date to do so well. Since Cecilia believed her lies and was willing to break up with Noel, Sue had been trying to find suitable men in Richburgh for Cecilia.However, she wasn’t able to find anyone from the heirs of wealthy families, or outstanding students from the Chimmery and Jarvis families.Finally, a friend of hers told Sue about the café. “That café is the most popular blind date venue for young people right now. Find someone suitable, and let Cecilia meet him there.“They’re all youngsters who are there for a blind date. Even if they end up not liking each other, they can be friends and things won’t be awkward between them. It’s pretty good.”And so, Sue took on her friend’s suggestion.For the sake of her daughter’s future happiness, she made a trip to the café to confirm that the people attending the blind dates there weren’t bad first. Then, she selected an ex-student of hers.He was a man of few words, a decent-looking lad who was

Sue had never come across someone as rude as this boss. He was yelling so loudly at her, at a decibel that exceeded what she was used to. Her hand trembled in fright.Knowing that her daughter was standing right next to her, Sue forced herself to remain composed.Cecilia, however, thought her mother was just like a little girl. To think Sue would get so easily frightened by someone yelling.Cecilia was about to take over the call, when the man said over the phone, “It’s true we’re running a business, but there are times when mistakes happen. Since things have come to this point, just don’t come again.”With that, he hung up. The phone beeped, leaving Sue and Cecilia staring silently at each other.Cecilia was shocked, too. Was that really the man who ran such a booming business?!She heard that the café was located on a plot of land where all past businesses that opened there closed very shortly after. The café was the only business that stood strong, raking in the money in the v

The sky had turned dark by the time Noel was done with work.He stood up, feeling his shoulders all stiff from sitting down and focusing on work over a long time.The coffee on the table had turned cold. That was when he realized he didn’t even drink a sip of it.His lips were dry and chapped, desperate for something to drink. He raised his hand, and called politely for a waiter, “Hello, I need more coffee please.”The waiter was very busy, and didn’t have the time to come by.Just then, Ginny came down from the second floor and spotted Noel immediately.He looked outstanding and was dressed in a suit, completely unlike an insurance agent. In fact, he looked more like a business elite.He was the blind date of that beautiful young lady from just now.Ginny remembered that good-looking couple very clearly. Out of the blind dates today, they looked the most outstanding.By the time Ginny was done with her tasks, Cecilia had left. She therefore didn’t see Cecilia leaving with Lar

Ginny nodded. “Yes.”Noel was flabbergasted.How did this happen? Did Diana arrange for him to have a blind date with Cecilia?Noel felt light-headed, but he was sure Diana couldn’t possibly do something like this. Even if she wanted to use this method to make him and Cecilia open up and resolve the misunderstanding between them, Cecilia wouldn’t agree to it.“Are the blind dates matched based on the customers’ original preferences, or based on your random matching after the participants register for it?”Ginny said, “It’s based on the customers’ original preferences, but…”She pushed her glasses up her nose bridge, and went on, “Due to my boss’s mistake, this time round, some blind dates didn’t make it in time. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the list of absentees as my boss was drunk. Because of that…”“You arranged some couples at random?”Ginny nodded, then shook her head. “Some were arranged at random, but we had no choice. Also…”Ginny recalled the words of her unreliable
