Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 1076

If it were Noel, he definitely wouldn’t tell her to wash her hands clean when he saw her fingers covered in ashes.

Instead, he would say, "Ms. Jarvis, did you enjoy eating roasted sweet potatoes?"

He knew what she truly liked and cared about. He always took care of her meticulously, without imposing any rules on her.

Before Cecilia met Noel, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her life with the Jarvis family. She only knew that everything had been arranged for her. With so many people loving her, she only needed to accept everything passively.

But now, she felt restrained by this arrangement.

This included her engagement to Julian.

Cecilia wiped her fingers clean, and looked up. "Mom... Did you ever ask me how I feel about my engagement to Julian?"

They hadn't even gone through an engagement ceremony. It was just an agreement between Sue and Julian, and that was supposed to be enough.

"You've been ill after all," Sue said, sounding slightly guilty. However, she was convinced she had done it mostly for her daughter's benefit, and that she had proudly acted out her role as a parent planning for her child's future.
