Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 1461 - Bab 1470

Jim was deeply engrossed in his research, his expression serious. Diana moved quietly, taking careful steps into the room with almost no sound. Fortunately, Jim's phone was on the bedside table, and he sat inside a small alcove with his computer.Diana's purpose in entering was to grab this phone.The room was silent. Diana stepped in with small strides, making no noise. To avoid any sound, she even left her shoes at the room's entrance and entered barefoot."Yes, this prescription needs further adjustment. The current data doesn't quite meet the standard production process," Jim's voice gradually leaked out. It seemed he was still focused and completely unaware of what she was doing.Diana slowly approached the bedside table. Soon, she could reach Jim's phone.From her deduction, Jim's phone was different from hers and Betty's. His signal was definitely not interfered with.She had already memorized Julian's number. If she quickly dialed his number and sent a message, it c

Since Larry's parents had overheard the phone conversation with Lulu, they moved out. Larry was the only one in this house now.The initial plan was to gradually decorate the house with auspicious characters before the wedding, which Larry vetoed. "Let's wait a bit. Girls have different tastes from ours. My new girlfriend seems to have even better taste than Lulu. If we arrange everything too early and she doesn't like the decor, our efforts will be in vain."The elderly couple exchanged glances. "You're right."However, they couldn't help but ask, "When are you going to introduce this new girlfriend to us?" It was hard for them to believe that Larry had fallen in love so quickly.Larry thought that it would be better to bring Cecilia back home as soon as possible. He thought for a while, before quickly giving them a time. "Soon. Not later than this week."Seeing their son's confident demeanor, they were pleased. They didn't intervene in the matter of the house anymore.Now,

Far from his previous timidity and nervousness, Larry had suddenly become confident."Cecilia." Larry placed the notebook and pen away, and looked at Cecilia. "This way."He gently pulled her sleeve. Though he didn't touch Cecilia's skin, it still made her uncomfortable.The flat was small, and was considered Larry's private space. Subconsciously, she stepped back, and calmly asked Larry, "Where are we going?""The wardrobe." The hand that had just pulled Cecilia's clothes was suddenly empty. At that moment, he sensed that Cecilia was resisting the contact.He almost opened the door and let Cecilia leave.He didn't want to be on good terms with her anymore.But when he saw her sweet smile and realized she didn't show any signs of disapproval, he inwardly complained about himself for being too sensitive.It wasn’t easy to find such a good woman as Cecilia. He couldn't afford to miss this chance.Larry opened up, and invited Cecilia to the study.The bookshelves in the stud

"But I've prepared a meal." Larry obediently opened the door, looking at Cecilia with a disgruntled expression. "Won't you stay for a meal and taste my cooking?"He spoke, and made way for Cecilia. "But if you want to leave now, you can. I won't force you."Seeing him being so submissive, Cecilia suddenly berated herself inwardly again. It must have been her overthinking. If Larry had any ill intentions, why would he have opened the door?Cecilia took a few steps back, silently cursing her overactive suspicion. She apologized to Larry again. "That's fine."She placed her bag back on the shelf, and said, "Let's have a meal, and then I'll leave. It's a good opportunity to taste your cooking."After all, he already prepared the dishes. Cecilia wasn't very full, so having an early dinner now and going home after would work out well.Larry immediately smiled, causing the muscles on his face to tremble, making him look like an adorable big tiger.It must have been her overthinking.

Jim was momentarily stunned. "In love?" He shook his head. "Whether I've been in love or not has nothing to do with Julian and you."Diana shook her head, smiling bitterly. "It does matter. Because I've loved, I know he wouldn't give up on me like this."Ignoring his calls and deliberately not responding to him before was just her being a little petty. She knew he would tolerate her and come to her side faster than expected, because she was loved.Because Julian loved her, she could act without restraint.Hearing Diana's resolute voice, Jim lowered his head. What caught his eye was her brightly sparkling eyes, especially when talking about Julian. And yet, a coldness flickered in the corner of her eyes, seemingly directed at him. She looked at him as if he were a pitiable person.But how could he be pitiable? He became a university professor at a young age, owned a laboratory, had considerable wealth, and had a mother who fully supported his research endeavors.In fact, J
