Chapter 1469

In the end, Cecilia didn’t know which button she pressed, but she was forced to take her hand out of the bag to grip the vase with both hands.

“Stay away from me, Larry!”

Noel had been driving for over six consecutive hours on the road from Richburgh to Jacroaof.

During this journey, he and Julian hadn’t even stopped for the restroom to save time and reach Jacroaof more quickly.

“I can take over,” Julian suggested, wanting to switch with Noel fora while.

Noel refused. “1’11 continue.”

In the past, he had driven continuously for two days and nights, eventually reaching the destination safely with stable and high-speed driving.

“As your assistant, I can’t lack physical strength.”

If it were in the past, Julian wouldn’t have said anything.

But this time…

“Noel, let me take over.”

Julian was restless in the back seat, and he was better off driving.

Noel was about to say something, but quickly nodded when he saw Julian’s expression. “Okay.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

At any time, Julian’s wishes were a top priority for Noel, and he didn’t forget that. He pulled over at a service area, took out his phone, and switched seats with Julian.

“Why did Cecilia call me?” Noel asked.

When Julian heard it, he asked, “Cecilia?”

“Yes.” Noel didn’t understand. He quickly put away his phone, clearly not concerned. “That young lady always has something to say. Maybe she wants to yell at me for being heartless and greedy for money.”

Shaking his head, Julian commented, “She’s been too sheltered by her mother. If she’d actually think, she’d realize that your motives and logic for taking her family’s money don’t hold water.”

“She won’t think that way.” Noel sighed. “Because in her mind, perhaps we have never been equal.”

On this point, Julian had no rebuttal to what Noel said.

If one person was concerned about family background issues, even if it didn’t come to light now, it would eventually become a point of contention at the time of marriage.

“There will be someone better,” Julian said. “Wait until we meet Diana. She’ll introduce someone better to you. The misunderstanding from the previous blind date was probably just to lead us to Isaac.”

Julian wanted to divert Noel’s attention away from Cecilia and ease the latter’s mind.

Realizing that he was comforted by Julian, Noel sighed again. “Sir, you’ve really changed a lot compared to before.”

Julian knew what he meant. “Indeed, love has made me softer.”

Such cheesy words coming from him weren’t surprising at all.

Noel chuckled. “Rest assured, sir. Madam and Betty are definitely safe and sound!”

In Jacroaof, Diana looked at Jim standing before her, and her heart was in her throat.

“What are you doing with my phone?” Jim crouched, locking eyes with Diana. “Were you calling Julian?”

Diana knew she couldn’t hide this from him. “Yes, I miss my husband.”

“But he has entrusted you and Betty to me.” Jim shook his head. “Diana, don’t waste your effort. If Julian were to show up, he would have done so by now. Don’t you understand there’s an eternal law in this world?”

“What law?”

“Men are very loyal, forever attracted to young women. But there’s no woman who stays forever young, Diana. He has already abandoned you.”

Diana didn’t listen. Her eyes showed an unusual determination as she demanded, “Jim, have you ever been in love?”
