Chapter 1002
Noel was on the verge of kneeling before Julian.
But Cecilia was holding his arm tightly, stopping him from doing so.
Noel had known that he wouldn't be able to hide his feelings for Cecilia from Mr. Fulcher. Still, he looked down and
tried to keep them a secret.
"I didn't have the chance to leave Collina Villa just now..."
"Oh.” Julian's eyes were imperceptibly dark, his thoughts unreadable. "You were still around even when it’s so late. I
should probably give you a pay raise to reward you for your passion and dedication to your job."
Noel could sense the obvious sarcasm in Julian's tone. However, it was true that he had feelings for Cecilia.
Even since she started relying on him and calming down at the sight of him, he had fallen for her-perhaps right
from the moment she hugged his waist that day.
Despite that, she had become Julian's fiancee-the future Mrs. Fulcher.
He could only bury his feelings for her in the depths of his heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, Julian had to dig it out right now.
Cecilia might not understand what Julian meant, but Noel did. Julian was probing him.
Noel tensed up at that moment, his face turning pale from anxiety.
"Mr. Fulcher... I..."
Admitting he had fallen in love with Julian's fiancee was as embarrassing as stripping naked in public.
How could he fall in love with his employer's woman?
Julian simply glanced at him. "Cecilia isn't very stable right now, and she can’t do without you. As for you..."
He paused for a moment, his eyes cold. "We’ll talk about your affairs when she's stable.”
From tomorrow onward, he would call Shiloh here to treat Cecilia.
Noel's heart fell. 'Yes, sir!"
Their working and personal relationship was probably coming to an end.
Julian glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and said mildly, 'You can keep watch over her at night. But..."
Noel didn’t expect Julian to see through him, and even agree to his request. He felt deeply grateful.
'Thank you, sir. I won't step out of line!"
He couldn't stop his heart from beating faster whenever he saw Cecilia, the woman he fancied.
Thankfully, Julian was willing to give him time and trust him. Julian allowed him to take care of Cecilia in the few
days he was left with.
He was probably going to get fired soon.
Noel looked down with a bitter smile. Guilt toward Julian grew in his heart.
Julian had already walked off. His retreating figure looked so lonely and desolate.
Noel's heart tightened.
He had betrayed his master...
After the commotion last night, everyone in Collina Villa woke up late the next morning.
Thankfully, it was the weekend. Sean didn't need to go to school.
But precisely because it was the weekends that Diana was worried about spending too much time with the twins. It
might give them the chance to notice the bruises on her body.
The bruises weren't that bad. They had begun fading after she applied ointment on them. Unfortunately, her arms
and legs clearly didn't look normal at a glance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for her head...
Diana caressed her head. She had done an MRI under the doctor's orders, and the results were clear. She didn't
find it painful anymore.
No one could confirm whether Cecilia really did hit her on her head.
Whatever it was, Diana's head and body both felt fine. She just had to take the effort of avoiding the twins a little.
After she woke up, she hid in Simon's room.
It was a good chance for her to serve him breakfast as well.
"Sorry," Diana said as she handed him the utensils. "I didn’t sleep well last night, so I was late with breakfast."
"I heard about what happened last night," Simon said. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Diana said, shaking her head. She tried not to let him see the wounds on her wrists. "Here, have some
food."
She placed the spoon on the table, and urged Simon to eat.
Simon refused.
"I’m in no mood to eat when I see you hurt like this." He smiled bitterly. "I actually heard the commotion last night,
and guessed that you might be suffering."
