Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1325

He was like a robot always on standby, ready in his best condition to double down and work.

Yet, this time, he looked so distracted.

Sometimes, even when there was a commotion outside, Noel would continue standing rooted to the spot in a daze, as if he didn’t hear anything at all.

Seeing him so unlike himself, Diana sighed. She decided to let Julian talk to Noel.

Julian’s words carried more weight to Noel. Noel might heed his counsel, and give himself and Cecilia another chance.

Julian disagreed, however. Diana out, he analyzed the situation for her. “He wouldn’t listen to me. You don’t understand. Firstly, his pride has suffered a beating. Secondly, he felt like he was let down for trusting her.”

The problem between him and Cecilia wasn’t going to be easily resolved.

“Noel’s probably going to feel down for a period. The Jarvises clearly have a hand in this, in an attempt to stop them from being together.”

New problems would arise even after resolving this misunderstanding. Whatever it was, the Jarvises would never let Noel be with Cecilia.

“Oh, right,” Diana said.

At the mention of the Jarvises, something clicked in her mind. She suddenly recalled what Cecilia said during their meal.

“It’s not just Noel. Right now, the Jarvises don’t even want you and I to be in contact with Cecilia.”

She was able to invite Cecilia out because of Fanny.

Julian knew about it, but didn’t expect that Cecilia’s refusal to see Diana was caused by the Jarvises.

“She said that our meetings in the future will have to be in secret, so that her mom doesn’t find out.” Diana found it strange. “Cecilia’s already a grown-up, but her family watches her so closely. Wouldn’t there be problems in the future?”

“This isn’t the problem. The problem is that the Jarvises don't want Cecilia in contact with anyone from our family. I suspect that aside from looking down on Noel and his family background, they’re still bothered by me calling off the engagement with Cecilia.

“For all we know, they think that I’m urging Noel and Cecilia to get together. Ever since then, they’ve hated us so intensely they don’t want us in contact with Cecilia,” Julian said.

Given the grudge between them and the Jarvises, it made sense to Julian and Diana that the Jarvises refused to let Cecilia contact the Fulchers.
