Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 977

Chapter 977

Cecilia wrapped her arms tightly around Noel.

Noel, who had never been in such close proximity with a woman, flushed brightly. His face turned as red as a tomato.

He raised his arms, awkwardly and stiffly, like a bird flying precariously in the air and almost falling from the sky. He didn't dare to touch Cecilia.

"Mrs. Jarvis..."

Noel had heard what Sue said earlier. He could tell that she wasn't pleased with his status as an assistant.

No matter Cecilia's mental condition, she was still a rich heiress.

Noel put himself in Sue's shoes. If Betty were closed in a room and behaved intimately with a man like him, forget Julian, Noel himself would beat that man up. He could understand where Sue was coming from, and immediately explained things to her.

"For some reason, Ms. Jarvis thinks I'm you... She refuses to let Mr. Fulcher touch her, and even insisted for Mr. Fulcher to leave the room just now."

Now that Sue thought about it, she noticed that Cecilia didn't look very happy when Julian visited her in her room yesterday. She appeared anxious, nervous, and shy.

Recalling that, Sue understood the situation.

"Cecilia would sometimes recognize the wrong person."

But...

"She's clinging so tightly to you..."

Sue found that rather unacceptable.

She stepped forward, trying to pry Cecilia’s arms away from Noel. However, that only made Cecilia tighten her hold on Noel.

Cecilia even started yelling at Sue, calling Sue a vixen for snatching Julian and her mother away. She was on the verge of collapse.

The thing Sue couldn’t stand the most was hearing her obedient and innocent daughter cursing and swearing. Such behavior was worlds apart from her daughter in the past.

She couldn't swallow it, no matter how many times she had witnessed and heard it.

She soon gave up.

She wiped her tears away and went downstairs, no longer forcing Cecilia to let Noel go.

Julian didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Take good care of her," he said to Noel. Then, he quickly followed Sue downstairs to comfort her.
