Chapter 1463
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Larry wanted to clarify things with Cecilia, and confirm their relationship formally.
âThis is the restaurant thatâs downstairs of the company Iâm working at.â
Larry took the afternoon off. After finishing work in the morning, he went downstairs to see Cecilia waiting for him in the restaurant.
She had thoughtfully ordered the dishes, so he could immediately enjoy a steaming hot meal as soon as he sat down. The dishes were vibrant and visually appealing.
However, when Cecilia started eating, she could taste instant seasoning. She took only a few bites, then stopped eating.
âAre you on a diet?â Larry, who was enjoying his meal, glanced at her. âOr does it not suit your taste?â
âItâs not to my taste.â Cecilia didnât feel the need to lie to Larry. âIt tastes like instant seasoning, and it feels cheap.â
Larry had a mouthful of food, and he was speechless.
At this moment, he seemed to see a shadow of Lulu in Cecilia.
Women were all like this! In the end, they would all leave him!
They were picky, and yearned for good, expensive, and luxurious things.
None of them were good people!
A hint of resentment began to grow in Larryâs eyes as he looked at Cecilia.

Women like Cecilia, just like Lulu, werenât worthy of becoming his wife.
In Larryâs mind, he was already contemplating whether to change his target.
Meanwhile, Cecilia attempted to take another sip of soup, not noticing Larryâs expression.
Ugh!
She wrinkled her nose. âStill tastes terrible.â
When she said this, her expression was lively, and there was even a hint of playfulness on her face.
With the freckle on her nose, she exuded a natural and adorable innocence.
Larryâs heart softened. âIâll take you to a different restaurant.â
Encountering such a stunning beauty was a stroke of luck for him. He should make an effort to treat her better.
Cecilia glanced at the uneaten food on the table, and shook her head. âNo need.â
Larryâs intentions were good enough for her. She could enjoy delicacies, and also settle for quick meals like instant noodles. As long as it filled her stomach, that was enough.
âI donât want you to waste money,â she said, finishing the bowl of egg soup with a few vegetables in one gulp.
Larry was astonished. âDidnât you say it wasnât tasty?â
âCompared to letting you spend more money, Iâd rather eat this.â Cecilia smiled at him. âItâs fine.â
This simple comfort and thoughtfulness directly convinced Larry-he wouldnât change his target. Cecilia must become his wife. He needed to expedite the process and confess his feelings to her.
âCecilia, thank you for your consideration. After you finish eating, I have something to tell you,â he said.
Without much thought, Cecilia stuffed her cheeks with food. âThen Iâll eat faster.â
After leaving the restaurant, Larry remained silent.
Cecilia grew anxious and asked, âLarry, what do you want to say?â
âThereâs no rush.â
After some consideration, Larry decided to keep Cecilia by his side today. After all, good women like her were hard to come by.
If he didnât seize the opportunity, what if she ran away with someone else?
âMs. Jarvis, please come with me.â
He hailed a taxi, brought Cecilia inside, and provided his home address to the driver.
