Chapter 1073
After all, Julian and Cecilia had an engagement.
A man like him, perfect in appearance, intelligence, and physique, should have no trouble making Cecilia fall in love
with him again if he wanted to.
The countryside was cold.
Albert's house had no central heating. The only way for Cecilia to keep warm was the stove in front of her, which
could both cook and provide warmth.
Cecilia rubbed her nose, and couldn't control a sneeze.
"What's going on?" she muttered to herself. nls someone insulting me?"
Her sneezes seemed to have a life of their own, constantly escaping from her mouth. It made her nose itch terribly,
and she felt quite uncomfortable.
Albert had already guessed that Cecilia wasn't from an ordinary family. She had been pampered since childhood,
and her delicate constitution was evident. He quickly fetched a blanket for her.
"Wrap this around you. It's too cold here." Then he asked her, "Why hasn't Mr. Fulcher returned to pick you up?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been two to three days since Julian had left. Not only had he not returned, but there was also no word from
Noel.
Cecilia was getting restless. She even thought about dragging Albert to the police station, but Albert insisted on
waiting for Julian to return. He believed that his master must have a solution.
After all, Albert was Noel's father. Cecilia didn't want to blatantly accuse him of being blindly loyal. In private, she
had already contacted someone from the Jarvis family to inquire about Noel's whereabouts.
As for Julian, she said, "I don't care about him."
A man who was naturally aloof and had a heart of ice would find it hard to love someone normally.
Cecilia also came from a prominent family. In Richburgh, it was rare to find a wealthy and harmonious family like
hers, where everyone got along and there were no scandals-just any other normal family.
In fact, one could say that a family without any scandal or some mess between men and women didn't deserve to
be called an elite family.
This was one of the reasons Cecilia found herself liking
Noel more and more. His family was simple, and he had a modest background. There wouldn't be any messy and
scandalous affairs waiting for her.
Besides, Albert seemed simple and honest at first glance. In the days Cecilia stayed here, he had treated her
exceptionally well, even though the living conditions were simple.
The naturally grown sweet potatoes, vegetables, and various fruits were carefully nurtured by Albert in the small
greenhouse. They were all incredibly delicious.
To some extent, staying here alleviated Cecilia’s anxiety over Noel's continued absence. As long as there was no
news, it was the best news.
Although she didn't like Julian, she believed his words: Noel wasn’t the kind of person who didn't value his life, and
no one could harm him easily.
Cecilia skillfully peeled the charred skin of the sweet potato to reveal its tender, golden flesh. She took a bite of the
charred skin, enjoying its slightly burnt flavor as she ate it along with the sweet potato.
"Delicious!"
She warmed her hands a little as she continued eating. Albert had made the fire bigger to keep them warm.
"Didn't you follow Mr. Fulcher here?" he asked her.
Over these past few days, they had become somewhat familiar. Albert would occasionally engage in small talk with
Cecilia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCecilia shook her head. "No, he followed me here."
Albert was a bit surprised. Recently, he wondered why Cecilia was so concerned about Noel. Was it because...
With just a glance, he could tell she was a well-bred young lady from a prestigious family. After his experience with
Kayla and Diana, Albert had learned to judge people more accurately.
He could tell that Cecilia was a good person, well-mannered and kind-hearted. Unlike his old self, he no longer
judged people solely by their social status.
In short, she was a very nice girl.
"I know what you want to ask," Cecilia said.
The campfire cast a fiery glow on her delicate and elegant face as she smiled, somewhat embarrassed.
"I like your son. I came here to wait for him to return, so I can confess my feelings to him in person."
Although he had expected this, Albert’s eyes still widened. He was about to speak and urge Cecilia to think it over,
when he heard a stern voice calling her.
"Cecilia!"
It was her mother, Sue Chimmery.
Cecilia couldn't hold the sweet potato anymore, and turned her head around stiffly.
