“I can understand how you feel.” Julian suddenly became serious. “Don’t worry, I will make sure you see Cecilia!”
Was it really Cecilia’s own decision to break up, or was Sue interfering and forcing them apart?
Julian would give Noel the opportunity to find out.
Diana had a simple idea. “This is something I have to handle personally. I’ll arrange to meet with Cecilia. Girls
usually won’t say no to a shopping trip, and their families won’t object. We can also have dinner in the evening. At
that time, you just make sure Noel is waiting in the private room early, and the opportunity will come.”
Julian thought this was a good idea. “Then call her quickly.”
After Diana hung up, he asked anxiously, “How did it go? Did Cecilia agree to come out?”
“No.” Diana sounded somewhat disheartened. “Her attitude towards me has become much colder than before.”
Not too long ago, when Cecilia and Noel were deeply in love, she was enthusiastic about sharing interesting things

called, Cecilia spoke with a distant tone.
Finally, when Diana extended an invitation to go shopping, Cecilia flatly declined. “I don’t need any more clothes
recently, Mrs. Fulcher, so I’ll pass.”
“She used to call me by my name before,” Diana said as she told Julian what had happened. She was somewhat
worried. “Cecilia and Noel’s breakup may not have the hidden reasons you’re thinking of. It might just be that the
youngsters have grown tired and don’t want to continue the relationship.”
Julian, well aware of Cecilia’s current distant attitude, acknowledged that this possibility was quite likely.
But Noel had cried, and Julian had worked with him for so long that he knew Noel was truly suffering.
“Regardless of what Cecilia thinks, they need to meet and clarify this matter,” Julian said. “If Cecilia still acts the
same, then Noel could at least find closure.”
If there was something more to their breakup, it would be better. It could allow Noel and Cecilia to reconcile, and
both of them could be spared from heartbreak.
“We’re just creating an opportunity for them,” Julian said. “When the time comes, let them have a conversation in
person. I’ve promised Noel that I’ll make sure he sees Cecilia. Honey, you wouldn’t want to see me break my
promise, would you?”
Indeed, she wouldn’t.
“Just wait and see,” Diana said.
She knew that Julian didn’t really care about appearances, but he cared about Noel like he were his own family.
Diana put her arm around him and even ruffled his hair, like soothing a child. “Leave this matter to your wife; I’ll
make it happen for you.”
Julian nudged her shoulder from where he was, and said cutely, “Okay! Thank you, honey!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe pressure was now on Diana’s shoulders.
Since the direct route of contacting Cecilia wasn’t working, they had to find another way. If she remembered
correctly, Cecilia had mentioned her strong liking for Fanny before.
She used to watch the TV dramas Fanny starred in, but unfortunately, Fanny had disappeared from the scene later.
Cecilia missed seeing her new works. If they could get Fanny to invite Cecilia…
So, Diana searched for Fanny’s number in her phone. Before she could make the call, Julian expressed his surprise.
“Weren’t you planning to contact Cecilia? Why are you reaching out to Fanny?”
Instead of replying to his question, Diana asked, “You and Oliver were love rivals before, so why are you calling him
so often now?”
She glanced at him, and decided not to provide a detailed explanation.
In a marriage, maintaining a bit of mystery and keeping things fresh was quite necessary.
Diana was going to be like a book—a book Julian would never get enough of flipping through for the rest of his life!
