Chapter 1464
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Since Larryâs parents had overheard the phone conversation with Lulu, they moved out. Larry was the only one in this house now.
The initial plan was to gradually decorate the house with auspicious characters before the wedding, which Larry vetoed.
âLetâs wait a bit. Girls have different tastes from ours. My new girlfriend seems to have even better taste than Lulu. If we arrange everything too early and she doesnât like the decor, our efforts will be in vain.â
The elderly couple exchanged glances. âYouâre right.â
However, they couldnât help but ask, âWhen are you going to introduce this new girlfriend to us?â
It was hard for them to believe that Larry had fallen in love so quickly.
Larry thought that it would be better to bring Cecilia back home as soon as possible. He thought for a while, before quickly giving them a time. âSoon. Not later than this week.â
Seeing their sonâs confident demeanor, they were pleased. They didnât intervene in the matter of the house anymore.
Now, Larry was about to fulfill his promise and bring Cecilia over. When they reached the downstairs of his residence, Cecilia looked at the residential building.
âWhere are we?â
âI need to add some decor to my home, but I donât have good tastes,â Larry said, keeping up his amiable and simple facade. âYou can give me some suggestions. Iâll buy what you like and put it in.â
Cecilia didnât think much about it. âSure!â
She usually liked researching beautiful things when she had nothing to do. If she could help Larry decorate the room, sheâd be happy to do so.
âCome over here,â Larry said. Seeing that she didnât refuse, he felt relieved. âI thought you might have some complaints about the place I live in, because itâs quite an old community.
IV âNot at all!â Cecilia, with good manners, considered others at such times. âHave you ever thought that with the slums I used to live in, I have no right to find fault with you?âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
âYouâre right.â Larry wasnât smart sometimes, and he simply agreed with her. As soon as he said that, he realized what he had said.
Just as he was about to apologize to Cecilia, she continued, âLarry, youâre really funny.â
His plump face turned red in an instant.
Previously, during his school days, everyone used to say he was a clumsy rooster, only capable of crowing loudly. His spoken words were as annoying as the morning crowing of a rooster that disrupted peopleâs sleep.
Even when he started working, he remained clumsy with his words. Some colleagues would suggest he take language classes to improve, while others would bluntly tell him not to speak due to his lack of eloquence.
Even if someone praised him, they would say he was blunt.
The term might sound like a compliment, akin to calling someone simple and honest. However, only Larry knew that being blunt, much like being cute, was just a polite way of insulting him.
Among all those people, Cecilia had been the only one to say Larry was funny.
This sentence acted like a spell, opening up a warm excitement in Larryâs heart. His face turned slightly red, and he enthusiastically introduced Cecilia, âMs. Jarvis, my home is in an old building without an elevator. Can you climb up to the sixth floor with me? Will that be okay?â
Cecilia nodded. âOf course.â
Although climbing the stairs seemed simple, due to the lack of exercise for a long time, she clearly felt the exertion as they reached the top. Her legs were a bit sore.
Cecilia stretched her legs, and said, âQuick, get me a glass of water.â
Larry nodded and hurried into the room, coming out with a pink cup.
Cecilia looked at him in surprise, âDid you prepare it specifically for me?â
Actually, it was prepared for Lulu before. But Lulu wouldnât be coming here anymore, and Larry had Cecilia now. He had firmly closed that chapter of his life.
Larry shook his head, and said, âIt was for my ex-girlfriend. Donât mind it.â
Cecilia wasnât upset at all. âI donât mind. Iâm glad youâre so honest with me.â
