Chapter 1043
This respect had been ingrained in Noel from a young age.
The fact he had received the cigarette from Julian today made him very happy, and gave him a sense of
recognition. But the more Julian acted this way, the harder it became for Noel to speak his mind.
Noel was on the verge of tearing the cigarette apart.
"Come on, out with it," Julian said impatiently.
Julian's handsome features would leave anyone, even someone like Noel, in awe.
So, it was entirely normal for Cecilia to have feelings for their employer.
"I want to resign," Noel blurted out, taking out the resignation letter he had prepared. He continued resolutely," Sir,
can you forget about Ms. Winnington and focus on Ms. Jarvis? Don't make Ms. Jarvis sad. After all, she's your
fiancee. This marriage proposal was something you agreed to yourself."
What on earth was this about?

over Kayla, and you gave me a lot of serious advice. And now, you're pulling this?"
Noel had almost forgotten about that. "Did that happen?"
"When I followed your advice later, and things got even more chaotic," Julian said.
At the time, he had been so angry with Noel that he had nearly sent the latter to Africa. Looking back now, he
realized how foolish he had been. Knowing that Noel had never been in a romantic relationship, he should have
known that Noel wasn't the best person to give love advice.
Sensing Julian’s gaze, which seemed to regard him as if he were an idiot, Noel thought that his words had upset his
employer.
"Sir..."
He kept trying to stuff the resignation letter into Julian's hands. "I know I'm not qualified to advise you on your love
life, and I know that you still have feelings for Ms.
Winnington. But Ms. Jarvis is really pitiful. She..."
"And then? What if I really intend to marry Cecilia? What will you do after resigning? Where will you go?" Julian
interrupted.
Noel hesitated momentarily, then replied quickly, "I'll go abroad, and never return."
He was afraid that if he continued to stand by Cecilia's side and watched as Julian ignore her despite their
engagement, he would eventually do something he couldn't take back.
"Do you want to hit me?" Julian asked. He saw through Noel's thoughts, and the cigarette between his fingers
flickered. He could see the turmoil and guilt on Noel's face.
Noel was loyal, perhaps too blindly loyal.
"Anyway, I won't marry Cecilia. I won't treat her well," Julian said, as he took the resignation letter from Noel's hand
and glanced towards the dining room.
Cecilia hadn't eaten. She had been watching them since they came out.
Julian relayed what Cecilia had told him to Noel when he went to deliver gifts to Diana.
"She said she doesn't like me," Julian scoffed, tearing the resignation letter into pieces. "What are you going to do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnext? Do you have a plan?"
Noel was taken aback by his words.
"Sir?!"
Was Julian implying that Cecilia liked him, Noel? He was just a personal assistant. He had spent his whole life
following Julian.
He could never hope to win the favor of a wealthy young lady like Cecilia.
"It's just as you thought," Julian clarified. "Cecilia has feelings for you, not me."
The reason she treated Diana with such fear, and why she experienced anxiety and even illness every time she saw
Diana, became clear to Julian.
"Her fear of Diana and her belief that Diana tore us apart have led her to act this way," Julian explained.
That was why Cecilia kept calling Diana a schemer. In reality, Julian and Cecilia had never been together. However,
him splashing paint on Cecilia impacted her deeply.
It had almost become an obsession to her.
"She curses Diana now because she fears history repeating itself. She's afraid that Diana will take you away from
her."
