Chapter 1441
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
This manâ¦
A sneer crossed Ceciliaâs face. Her assumption of Noel as a greedy, shameless, and poor loser of a man strengthened. She would never give him the chance to take advantage of her again!
The two cars drove past each other, one driving in and the other driving out.
âDrive faster,â Cecilia told Larry.
She didnât want Noel seeing her in this car. She had to leave as soon as possible!
Larry could sense where Cecilia was looking. Ever since that limousine passed, she had been staring at it. She was overly focused on it.
Larry said bitterly, âThat car looks pretty good.â
Lulu probably ran away with a man with a car like that.
Hatred flashed past Larryâs eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
Cecilia was so occupied by thinking about Noel, and didnât notice the look in Larryâs eyes. She continued talking to him, saying, âItâs not bad, but I donât like it.â
Her words lifted Larryâs mood in an instant. âYou donât like rich people?â
What should she say to that? She herself was rich. How could she not like rich people?
âYeah,â Cecilia said, then questioned him back ingeniously,â I like poor people. Never seen someone like me before?âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Larry was elated to hear that. âI never expected you to be so nonchalant about wealth. You really are a great woman.â
Perhaps because of his work, Larry spent most of his time with computer programs and seldom talked.
When he did, he spoke simply and honestly.
Although his appearance was nothing to write home about, he looked and sounded very comforting.
Cecilia accepted his praise. âThank you. I think Iâm a good person, too. Whatâs so good about wealth?
Riches and expensive cars cannot be compared to a sincere heart.â
That resonated strongly with Larry.
He felt even more satisfied with Cecilia. He should be looking for a woman just like her. Only a woman like her was worthy of him!
After âmarryingâ her, he would definitely treat her well!
Cecilia felt a change in how Larry treated her after saying those words, as he became more enthusiastic and eager to please her. He even bought her a cup of milk tea along the way. In fact, he had placed the order in advance so that they didnât need to waste time lining up.
The tea was cherry flavored, and covered with a thick layer of milk ice-cream. The bright, tangy flavor lifted her mood instantly.
It tasted pretty good.
Larry spotted cotton candy sold on the street side, and stopped the car to buy one for her. He even requested for it to be shaped like a doll.
âFor you,â Larry said, almost embarrassed to look Cecilia in the eye.
What a kind and thoughtful man he was! He was truly different from Noel!
Cecilia was thankful that she ignored her motherâs advice and didnât break things off immediately with Larry. For all she knew, by a stroke of fate, things might just work out between them.
Cecilia was still a little girl at heart.
Novels and drama series she watched in the past ran through her mind, and she was all the more certain that she was fated to meet Larry.
âThank you!â Cecilia thanked him profusely as she accepted the cotton candy from him. âI really like it!â
Larry smiled shyly. âThatâs great.â
They were almost at the office. He parked the car in the underground garage, and handed Cecilia an employee card.
âTake this. If someone asks you later, donât forget to sayâ¦â
He felt embarrassed to go on.
Cecilia completed his sentence naturally, âI wonât forget. Iâm your girlfriend for today.â
Larry smiled shyly.
