Chapter 1312
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
She ignored him.
Julian didnât bring up the matter again.
As long as she was happy, it was enough.
The next day, Diana went out, and Julian took care of the children.
Noel had been waiting in the private room at the restaurant for a while. He was only waiting for Diana and Fanny to create an opportunity for him to talk to Cecilia.
This was Ceciliaâs first time meeting Fanny.
As the child of a wealthy family, she remained calm and polite, even when meeting a star she admired so much.
She presented a gift to Fanny and said, âMs. Smith, Iâve admired you for a long time. Itâs an honor to receive your invitation.â
Fanny was also delighted.
She looked at the gift from Cecilia. It was a bottle of personally blended essential oil. Just smelling it at this moment made her feel relaxed and improved her appetite, which hadnât been great for the past few days.
âIâm also honored, Ms. Jarvis. Thank you for the gift,â Fanny said with a smile. âI donât know why, but looking at this bottle of essential oil, I suddenly feel a bit hungry.â
Cecilia laughed heartily at this comment. âHow is that possible? This is essential oil, not something to eat. How about we have a meal together after we finish shopping?â
âEating is a necessity,â Fanny replied. âIâve already reserved a private room, and weâre just waiting to go after weâre done shopping, butâ¦â
She looked a little embarrassed as she glanced at Cecilia. âI have a friend who wants to join us. I hope you donât mind.â
Cecilia shook her head. âOf course, I donât mind!â
She was about to ask who the friend was, when she heard Dianaâs voice. âMs. Smith, Ms. Jarvis.â
Cecilia turned her head, seeming a bit puzzled.
âItâs youâ¦?â
Then she thought about the chronology of events that had happened. Diana had called her before Fanny invited her out, but she had declined Dianaâs invitation.

Fanny was the middleman brought by Diana?
Cecilia sighed. âI had no idea you two knew each other, and it seems like you two are quite close?â
âMs. Smith is an investor in my studio.â Diana mentioned the studio, but Ceciliaâs expression remained unchanged.
It was clear she had already set aside any concerns about the studio, and didnât care about it at all.
Thatâs why she didnât accept Dianaâs invitation.
It could only meanâ¦
She had reservations about Noel.
She genuinely didnât want to be with Noel.
Thinking about this, Diana suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable and couldnât help but worry about Noel.
If the outcome today was still a breakupâ¦
Would Noel be able to handle it?
Would he suffer another blow to his heart?
But if Diana didnât let him meet, based on what Julian said, Noel might even sink into depression.
Just like Julian had said, they should deal with their own issues.
She and Julian could only serve as bridges to help them communicate, not as decision-makers in their relationship.
Cecilia didnât expect the connection between Diana and Fanny. However, she was quite thoughtful about it.
âYouâre still investing after retiring from the entertainment industry, Ms. Smith?â
âI would invest in good projects,â Fanny replied.
âWhat about me?â Cecilia seized the opportunity and started to pitch herself. âTo be frank, the essential oil in your hand is one I formulated myself. I enjoy creating scents, and have always wanted to start my own business. However, my mother isnât very supportive of me.â
Becoming a high-level perfumer had always been her dream, but Cecilia didnât dare to mention it to Sue.
