Chapter 1394
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The waitress didnât rush to leave.
She stood by Ceciliaâs side, still demonstrating how to use the microphone.
âThereâs no harm in wearing it. Just think: if someone can accept a voice thatâs difficult to listen to, thatâs when genuine feelings develop. Not just based on the face, but also the voice.
âFor two people to last long together, they must share similar values and have similar thoughts. Only then can they get closer over time. Otherwise, theyâll inevitably go in opposite directions.â
The more Cecilia thought about it, the more she felt it made sense.
âThank you.â She took the device from the waitress, and operated it. âDo I use it like this? If I do this, I can have an unpleasant voice?â
Completely disguising herself, testing, and probing from an onlookerâs perspective seemed like a good idea.
âThe prerequisite for love is to stay calm. Only then can one avoid pitfalls.â The waitress affirmed Ceciliaâs technique, and added, âAfter all, there are so many scumbags in this world. Itâs good to be cautious.â
Cecilia agreed once again. The voice changer felt like a powerful weapon. She gripped the switch, already thinking about what to do during the upcoming blind date.
âWait!â Cecilia suddenly realized something. She grabbed the waitressâs clothes. âSince itâs a group blind date, how can we ensure that the person sitting across from me is the one my family selected for me?â
Her suitor had passed her motherâs inspection, and now, needed to pass hers. Only screened individuals would be more reliable, right?
The waitress smiled, and winked at Cecilia. âYou can relax. Fate is predetermined, and the man destined to be by your side wonât be able to escape.â
The waitressâs way of speaking was a bit peculiar, but that was just how it was.
Ceciliaâs doubts were quickly smoothed over.
Whatever.
Regardless of who sat across her, he would be quickly eliminated if she couldnât have a meaningful conversation with him or if he had incompatible values. He wouldnât be allowed to open the curtains and unveil her face.
She wasnât in a hurry.
She would take it slow.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
The second floor of the coffee shop was gradually filled with the rich aroma of coffee. More and more people had arrived.
She could see faint figures moving around from behind the bamboo curtains. Across her, a man also took a seat.
Judging by his figure, he wasnât short. In fact, he was similar to Noelâs height.
What a jinx!
She was here to start anew and look for a fresh beginning. Why did she immediately run into someone who reminded her of Noel?
The more she tried not to think about it, the more thoughts related to Noel surfaced in her mind.
When she said she was cold, he tightened his coat around himself and urged her to go home. When she wanted to hold hands, he kept avoiding her.
In the end, he stuffed a small stone into her hand and said, âI noticed that you always want to grab something, so holding a stone will keep your hand busy.â
It seemed he was afraid Cecilia would find it repulsive. He even took the time to explain.
âIâve personally polished this stone with care, so feel free to hold it. Itâs not dirty.â
Finally, Cecilia got annoyed and gave it to him straight. âHold my hand already!â
Her hand was so delicate and soft. Holding it felt like holding a small and soft treasure.
When Noel caught her hand, he grew tender and weak. His eyes glimmered slightly with tears. They quickly disappeared, giving way to joy.
âThank you for wanting to hold my hand.â
Cecilia was silent. Sometimes, it was better not to say anything.
What did he mean by that?!
