Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1492

Noel was waiting for this moment!

He dared not show too much joy, and even appeared somewhat embarrassed.

“Will others complain about US knocking on doors like this?” he asked, wearing a hesitant expression.

The lady chuckled at him. “I think you’ve developed some trauma from being rejected when asking to use the restroom. Don’t worry, young man. We’re all long-time neighbors here. Not many places are rented out, and everyone upstairs and downstairs is like family.”

She went to the kitchen, and brought out a rolling pin. She weighed it in her hand and then handed it to Noel, who appeared strong and robust.

“In case there’s a thief, just hit him.” “Alright…”

The two went downstairs.

Knock! Knock!

There was another rapid knocking on the door.

Larry furrowed his brow, sensing that today wasn’t going very smoothly.

Fortunately, he hadn’t stopped, and the house was now tidied up.

Even the wardrobe was adorned with joyful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere. However, seen through Cecilia’s eyes, the whole thing resembled the call of the grim reaper.

She now understood that Larry’s so-called being together, getting married, wasn’t what she understood as being together.

Instead, it meant killing her and keeping her with him forever. To experience such a calamity in life and then lack peace even in death, Cecilia’s heart was filled with despair.

Larry approached her with a knife, and she slowly closed her eyes.

“I won’t let you suffer.” Larry approached to cut the rope on her feet. For safety reasons, he left the wrist restraints in place.

“Come.”

Ignoring the commotion at the door, he pulled Cecilia towards the bathroom. He was about to crouch down to remove her pants.

Sensing his intentions, Cecilia’s eyes widened, and her hairs stood on end.

“Mmph! Mmph!!!”

What was he going to do to her? What the hell was he doing?!

Larry told her not to panic. “Cooperate with me, and you’ll suffer less.”

He sighed, finding Cecilia’s current behavior incomprehensible.

“We’re going to be husband and wife. Shouldn’t I tidy you up and make you look pretty when we get married? If you act this way, I’ll have to tie you up even after taking off your pants.”

While speaking, he continued his forceful downward pull at her waist.

A tremendous sense of shame overwhelmed her, surpassing even her will to survive.

Cecilia began to struggle with even greater force. In the midst of her frantic flailing, she accidentally knocked over a plastic basin.

Bang!

The basin hit the floor with a muffled sound.

Larry’s face grew darker and darker, but he didn’t stop. Cecilia’s pants were already half undone, revealing a section of her fair skin.

For a moment, he stared at her. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Since we’re a married couple, we should do things that couples do.”

He considered himself even more wise.

“I should keep your whole body. Only then can you truly accompany me every day.”

Cecilia sensed the nauseating implications in his words.

This man… This man actually didn’t even intend to let her go in death!

Fury surged within her. She bit her lip fiercely, causing blood to flow. When hot water from the shower head mixed with the blood, the smell of blood filled the air.

The neighbor noticed that Larry hadn’t opened the door yet, and there were still sounds coming from inside. “What’s going on?”

Worried, she asked Noel to wait at the door while she went to call more neighbors.

As soon as she left, Noel’s eyes narrowed.

He immediately raised his hand, took out a lock-picking tool he had prepared in advance, and skillfully unlocked Larry’s door.

Something was amiss inside.
