Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 832

In a restaurant opposite the studio, a woman asked, “Mr. Fulcher, what are you looking at?”

She was seated opposite Julian, wiping her mouth with a napkin and looking in the direction of Julian’s gaze. However, she didn’t notice anything.

“Nothing. Just a kite trapped in a gunny sack.”

“A kite trapped in a gunny sack?”

Julian nodded, but didn’t explain further. He retracted his gaze from Diana and covered up the worry in his eyes. “Are you done?”

The woman seated before him was Cecilia Jarvis, the heiress of the Jarvis family in Richburgh. Julian had selected her from a list of women Vans had shortlisted for a blind date with.

Cecilia blushed when Julian looked at her. “Yes, I am.”

He nodded, and looked at the lipstick mark on the napkin she used to wipe her mouth.

She didn’t reapply her lipstick after her meal, and it made her look rather haggard.

Julian stood up swiftly. “Let’s go.”

Cecilia was stunned. “Where to?”

“To the shopping mall opposite. I’ll buy a new lipstick for you.”

Mr. Fulcher was rumored to be cold, distant, and proud—perhaps almost inhuman.

But right now, she witnessed how thoughtful he was in noticing that she didn’t bring her lipstick, simply because she didn’t reapply her lipstick after her meal.

“Thank you,” Cecilia said, feeling slightly anxious. She gripped her handbag tight and followed behind Julian’s towering figure, her heart beating fast.

They crossed the street from the restaurant.

Throughout the walk, Julian watched out for cars and pedestrians for Cecilia.

“Thank you.” Cecilia didn’t expect Julian to be so gentlemanly, on top of being so handsome.

Her thumping heart was now leaping with passion.

“Don’t mention it.” Julian walked to the cosmetics counter. “Go ahead and pick what you like.”

Cecilia browsed around for a long while. She could feel Julian standing next to her, waiting patiently. She finally gathered the courage to ask, “Mr. Fulcher, what do you think suits me?”

Julian placed his fingers on the glass counter. “I don’t know, either.”
