Chapter 1007
"And are you willing to come with me? We'll leave Richburgh and never come back."
After the meal, Noel brought Cecilia back to the room to rest. In the past, at the Jarvises’ residence, Noel took care
of her most of the time, as Cecilia didn’t let Julian get close to her.
Cecilia always said that she wanted to keep her distance from him.
She needed to be reserved and demure.
She wanted "mommy" to take care of her instead.
And that "mommy" was Noel.
If Sue were here and saw how Cecilia relied so much on Noel and continued to call him "mommy", she would
probably get so angry she might burst an artery.
But Julian was not very bothered by it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Til take the night shift again tonight," Noel said, "I rested for a while in the afternoon, and I'm feeling quite
energetic now."
"Okay," Julian said, nodding. He smiled and continued," Cecilia can't do without you anyway.”
Noel’s face flushed a bright red.
"Sir..."
"Say no more,” Julian said. "Just take good care of her."
He knew that Noel was aware of his boundaries.
It was quite late in the day by the time Diana returned.
Julian was in his study while Noel was standing at the door of Cecilia's room.
Cecilia appeared to be pestering him and telling him something. She was also leaning in very close to Noel.
Their faces were almost plastered together, yet the two seemed unperturbed by it as they chatted and laughed
happily.
During their conversation, Noel would even help Cecilia tuck a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.
Cecilia would also lean lazily against Noel and even pester him to carry her.
Noel seemed reluctant to do it, which made Cecilia grab his arm and whine to get her way.
Noel eventually gave in and smiled dotingly at her, "Alright. Just five minutes, okay?"
Despite what he said, Noel carried her around for at least half an hour.
Diana kept watching them from downstairs.
As she looked on, she suddenly realized what seemed wrong when she saw them at the table today.
Cecilia was Julian's fiancee, and Julian was supposed to be taking care of her.
But in reality...
Noel clearly took care of her most of the time. His relationship with Ceci lia...did n't look like that between an
ordinary man and a woman.
Even the look they gave each other...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDiana knew it well.
That was a look only between lovers, a sweet, cloying look that told of their love for each other.
The look in their eyes couldn't be faked.
Did Julian know about it?
How could he possibly be this careless?
Careless enough to let his assistant and fiancee fool around in broad daylight like this.
He probably didn't know about it.
If that man knew that he was made a cuckold, he would certainly drive Noel away in an instant.
In the past, she never thought of Noel as someone who would betray Julian.
Yet now...
Perhaps Julian trusted him too much.
Diana didn't want to gossip or tattle behind people's backs.
But the affair between Cecilia and Noel was like a stone weighing on her heart constantly, driving her to wonder if
she should tell Julian that he was being cheated on.
