Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 375

Author’s pov

“Please, don’t feel so formal, Cecilia ,”Julian said softly, apparently sensing Cecilia ‘s unease before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

Julian was six years Sebastian’s senior, with handsome, dignified features that matched his mature and rational personality.

He was the epitome of the traditional family man who prioritized the pack’s interests above all else.

His marriage to Daisy had been purely a business arrangement, designed to forge stronger ties between the Lawson and Cole families.

Love had never been part of the equation. They were polite to each other, nothing more.

Daisy’s current predicament troubled him, and he felt regret about the situation…

But that was the extent of it. His primary concern remained how to handle the aftermath and what explanations to offer the Cole family.

Julian’s implicit message was clear, and it brought visible relief to Cecilia’s tense posture.

What appeared to be simple politeness took on entirely different meaning through Scarlett’s experienced eyes.

She knew Julian well. Both her son and husband were cut from the same cloth. Traditional guys who didn’t waste time on small talk and rarely went out of their way to make anyone comfortable, including their own wives. But here was Julian, being unusually thoughtful with a woman he’d just met.

That got her attention.

Cecilia was undeniably beautiful. The kind of woman who turned heads wherever she went. Whether at first glance or upon closer inspection, her vibrant, captivating appearance was the kind that could easily fascinate men.

Was he witnessing love at first sight ?

Scarlett knew her son’s feelings for Daisy weren’t deep. With Riley needing a mother and given Julian’s pragmatic nature, he’d need to remarry eventually anyway. It was just good business sense.

The thought didn’t shock her. In their world, marriages were investments. Partnerships. When one deal fell through, you found another.

Mabel, too, began paying closer attention to Cecilia.

Both women had already pegged her as someone from money. Good breeding, proper education, the whole package. In their minds, they were already interviewing candidates for the next Mrs. Lawson, even though Daisy’s side of the bed was barely cold.

It was like watching two seasoned matchmakers size up their next project, complete with mental checklists and silent calculations.

Cecilia’s pov

I felt increasingly uncomfortable under their scrutiny.I had absolutely no idea what they were thinking.

What I couldn’t figure out was whether these three Lawsons knew about my relationship with Sebastian. Their bizarre reactions made it impossible to tell.

“Where are you from, Cecilia ?”Mabel finally broke the silence.

“I’m from Denver,”I replied.

Inwardly, I was connecting dots :

[ If they don’t even know where I’m from, they clearly don’t know about Sebastian and me. But then why the dinner invitation ? Maybe they want to size up the woman who “ruined”Daisy ?

Perfect. They’re probably planning some kind of payback. ]

Then Mabel asked directly, “What does your family do ?”

I answered with perfect simplicity : “Education.”

Mabel and Scarlett’s expressions grew even more confused.

I wondered if my accent had thrown them off.

Julian calmly intervened, “Let’s stop the interrogation and eat.”

Scarlett shot him a glare. “This isn’t an interrogation ! We’re just getting acquainted. After all, the Moore family and ours now have a shared interest.”
