Chapter 1413
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
They had to help plan their sonâs wedding.
Things like the hotel and banquet had to be properly arranged.
These things needed money. There was a lot to considerâthey needed a wedding host, a wedding gown and suit, as well as decorations. They did some preliminary calculations, and the cost came up to around 30,000 dollars.
And yet, that amount wasnât even enough for them to put up something presentable.
If they wanted something grand, they would have to spend no less than 75,000 dollars for something barely passable. To hold a grand, unforgettable wedding would require even more.
They didnât want to let Lulu down, so they told their son, âWeâll pay for all the wedding expenses. Weâll give you all the wedding gifts we received, so just get married in peace.â
Larry nodded. âOkay. Thank you, Mom, Dad.â
He couldnât bring himself to tell them that he had broken up with Lulu.
Despite all that happened between him and Lulu, all he needed to do was to find another daughter-in-
law for his parents!
If he could achieve that, all the wedding arrangements wouldnât be in vain. His parents wouldnât be disappointed, either.
His life would be the way he expected in the past; with a girlfriend, and then a wife and children in the future. Most of all, he would have love.
Howeverâ¦
Larryâs gaze turned maniacal. In order to make sure his âwifeâ stay by his side forever, he had to render her unable to move.
The only way to make a living person unable to move, to resist or even to thinkâ¦was to kill her!
Larry snapped back from his memories, and put on a friendly smile on his face again.
It so happened thatâ¦
He shifted and sat on the seat that Noel vacated.
Larry was early to the blind date. By the time he settled down, there werenât many people on the second floor.
Cecilia was very good-looking, even more so than Lulu.
Larry seized the chance while there werenât many people to secretly observe the women who were here on a blind date. He had his sights set on Cecilia.
Only by finding a woman like Cecilia as his wife would he be able to feel as though he wasnât betrayed by Lulu.
Rather, he could assume that he had found a better and more lovable daughter-in-law for his parents.
Also, what did she talk about with that man who just left?
About love?
It wasnât easy finding love.
Indeed.
Larry lamented that it wasnât easy, but this time, love bumped into him. As long as he could turn this woman opposite him into a dead person, he would be able to have her and have love forever!
He would kill her so that she could be with him forever!
Ginny was busy keeping tabs on the interest level of the blind dates, and didnât pay attention to Cecilia.
Naturally, she didnât realize that Larry had quietly taken Noelâs seat. She was still trying to gauge everyoneâs interest while pulling back the blinds.
Things were going way beyond her expectations. This time, two-thirds of the blind dates were pleased with each other.
Ginny pressed the button to the blinds. âAll right, everyone, take a good look. The one you wish to take things a step further with is seated right opposite you.
âThree, two, oneâIâm opening the blinds!
âYouâll be able to see each other real soon!â
Cecilia was so excited, her heart was in her throat.
What would he look like?
Larry smiled as he looked up at Cecilia.
She had a petite face, sharp chin, huge eyes, and fair and dewy skin. She exuded a charming aura common to a rich heiress. She was indeed a goddess who looked way better than Lulu!
He was very satisfied, and introduced himself to Cecilia. âHello, Iâm Larry Webb.â
So, the man whom she had a great time chatting with was called Larry Webb. He was chubby and not exactly great-looking. In fact, he was worlds apart compared to Noel.
However, a good heart could be hiding behind his disappointing appearance.
She would have to get to know him better to decide if things could progress between them.
Cecilia smiled back.
She reached out for a handshake, and said cheerily, âHello, Iâm Cecilia Jarvis!â
