CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Julian Quinn

Glancing at Lilian beside him, Julian noticed the faint traces of hickeys on her neck. She forced a smile, even though she was furious, and replied, "How would I find you if I didn't come here?"

Francis turned to Lilian and said, "You should go to your work now."

Lilian nodded and walked past Julian into the coffee shop.

The reason she worked here was that after searching and interviewing for so many jobs, this was the only place willing to take her in.

After she left, Julian walked over to Francis and took hold of his arm, playfully asking, "Are you still angry?"

"Let's talk in the car."

Julian intimately linked her arm with Francis', and he didn't push her away.

Before getting in the car, Julian took out a bottle of sanitizer spray from her purse and sprayed it several times on the passenger seat. Then, she looked up with a radiant smile and said, "Well, it needs disinfecting."

Lilian had just sat there. She felt disgusted.

Francis watched her, didn't say anything, and silently approved of her actions, even though Lilian was right behind them.

Through the window, Lilian witnessed it all.

She saw how much indulgence and love Francis had for Julian.

Those who were being loved were fearless. Francis loved Julian. So no matter how unreasonable or absurd Julian behaved, he found it acceptable, even when she humiliated his wife in front of him.

After disinfecting the passenger seat that Lilian sat on, Julian got into the car. She adjusted her curly hair and held Francis' hand, saying, "Alright, why do you still have such a long face? I won't say anything about hoping you get a divorce anymore. Is that alright?"

Francis doted on her. But as long as she brought up the idea of hoping Francis divoicing that dummy, he would immediately become angry.

Even though he always claimed that he didn't love that dummy and only felt responsibility towards her, and not to mention his promise to his grandfather, Julian still felt angry.

What she wanted was to be the one and only woman around her, not this kind of hidden affection.

Everyone else said that she was Francis' love, that he gave her everything except marrying her.

Only Julian knew that it wasn't like that.
