Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1287

Noel couldn't help but smile as he continued the conversation he had hesitated to start earlier. "Sir, you've changed."

Julian raised an eyebrow, "Changed? How so?"

"You've become more humane," Noel replied.

Upon hearing this, Julian's expression became momentarily stern. However, his eyes seemed to sparkle. His face, however, returned to its usual demeanor, complete with his tightly drawn jawline. It gave off an intimidating aura.

"Speak quickly!"

It was that tone, that ruthlessness, and an intensity akin to an adrenaline rush that made anyone listening to Julian tremble.

Noel himself couldn't help but shiver.

Julian seemed satisfied with this reaction. He looked at Noel as if the latter were his younger brother. Noel had stood by his side with true loyalty and sincerity for many years.

After a moment, Julian said, "Go and fall in love, Noel."

Julian continued, "What you should do for Cecilia now isn't about repaying her or showing gratitude.

"Then, what is it?"

"You should show her some love," Julian said firmly, sound quite proud. "As someone who has been in your position before, I can share my experience. What Cecilia hopes right now is not for you to treat her to dinner or take her to a park. She doesn't hope for you to send her supplements to express her gratitude."

Noel's face grew gloomier as Julian spoke.

"Sir... The things you mentioned not to do are exactly what I had in mind to express my gratitude."

Taking Cecilia out for dinner, strolling in the park with her, or delivering nutritional supplements to thank her for helping him gather information. Those were all ways of repaying her that Noel had contemplated.

But now, Julian was telling him that he shouldn't do any of those things.

It seemed Noel was stepping on landmines in every aspect of his approach.
