Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1308

After leaving the café, Noel didn't take his car. He walked aimlessly on the street instead. For the first time, he felt that though Richburgh was vast, he couldn't find a place to belong.

He was alone...

Like a lost soul.

Even when Julian called, Noel couldn't muster the energy to talk to his boss.

After finally finishing his work report, Julian found it strange and asked, "You still haven't had a successful kiss?"

If the kiss had been successful, Noel should be full of spirit right now and not so listless.

"You said you wanted to prepare a memorable and heartfelt confession for Cecilia. Did it work?"

Did it work?

Noel hadn't even seen her face.

"She doesn't even remember my voice," Noel replied, his voice tinged with helplessness. "Sir..."

As he spoke, Noel seemed to have finally found someone he could confide in. He began to cry like a child.

"Mrs. Jarvis wants to give me a check of 1.5 million dollars, saying that Cecilia’s too busy shopping and can't be bothered to break up with me in person. The Jarvises are using that to compensate me and remind me of this 'favor' after the breakup. They don't want Cecilia's illness to be publicized. Am I so despicable in their eyes? That I'd want to tarnish a lady’s reputation even after the breakup?"

Julian was a little angry over what the Jarvises had done. It was mainly because to him, Noel wasn’t just an ordinary assistant. The latter had been like a brother to him, staying with him for so many years.

"You can't just listen to Sue," Julian said. "You need to see Cecilia in person, talk to her face to face, and confirm whether the breakup is really what she wants."

"I've already talked to her on the phone, and she said she wants to break up," Noel replied.

"Have you met her?" Julian asked. "When she said it over the phone, can you be sure that she wasn't being coerced?"
