Chapter 1079
It was hard for Julian to refuse such hospitality. Julian knew he couldn’t let down the Jarvis family, so
he continued to apany Frederick for a while.
Sue noticed they were getting along well, and her mood improved even more. She brought more food,
clearly hinting that Julian should stay the night.
Julian declined, and didn’t continue drinking with Frederick.
“I should talk to Cecilia now,” he said.
Sue’s smile grew even more affectionate, and there was a genuine sense of satisfaction in it.
“Oh, look at us! We’re in the way of the engaged couple, aren’t we?” she said. Julian couldn’t help but
notice her emphasizing the words ‘engaged couple’ in a somewhat probing manner.
However, he had no intention of discussing it openly with Sue. Instead, he just smiled in response. “No
worries, it was my fault for not visiting more often.”
After a few more pleasantries, Sue took Julian to Cecilia’s room.
Sue hesitated for a moment, then said, “Noel Carter… I heard from Cecilia that he resigned?”
Julian nodded. “Yes.”
Taking this opportunity, he handed the bills from Albert back to Sue. “Albert asked me to return this to
you.”
Julian didn’t want to say much about Noel with Sue, not until Cecilia officially requested to dissolve the
engagement.
So, he decided to end the conversation there.
Noel… It would be better if Cecilia personally exined everything to Sue and her family when the time
came.
During dinner, Cecilia barely said a word and had a small appetite. However, no one at the table
noticed or bothered to ask why she wasn’t eating much.
If Noel was there, his eyes would surely be on her, eager to serve her food. Unfortunately, he wasn’t at
the table and he wasn’t by her side.
Cecilia stared at Noel’s phone number, her heart heavy with sadness. ‘Noel, where are you…?’
Then, someone knocked on her door.
It was Julian.
Sue left only after Julian entered Cecilia’s room, smiling all the way.
It seemed Julian didn’t hold any grudges against Cecilia because of what happened to Noel. In Sue’s
eyes, this incident had further endorsed Julian as a potential son-in-w.
Sue returned to find Frederick, who was sitting on a chair, clear-eyed andpletely sober. There was
no sign of him being drunk. He seemed to be waiting for Sue’s return.
“So, what did you think?” Sue smiled and walked over to him. Her soft, delicate hand rested on
Frederick’s shoulder as she continued, “My judgment was correct, wasn’t it?”
Initially, the engagement between Julian and Cecilia was Sue’s idea, and she had been the one to
insist on it. At best, Frederick had merely supported her decision.
However, he had some reservations about the marriage- especially since Julian was a divorcee. From
a father’s perspective, no one was good enough for his daughter. But Sue argued that given Cecilia’s
condition, they needed to n for her future sooner rather thanter.

Frederick sighed, a sign of his reluctant agreement. He hadn’t expected that sitting down and chatting
with Julian over dinner would go so smoothly, and that their personalities wouldplement each other
so well.
“The young man’s knowledge and conversation skills far exceeded my expectations,” Frederick said
with satisfaction, patting his wife’s hand. ’ We’re lucky to have such a son-inw, thanks to your good
judgment.”
Sue smiled modestly. She squeezed Frederick’s shoulder a bit more confidently. “Not at all. It’s
because you have good luck, darling. That’s why our daughter and I are so lucky.”
She didn’t mention Cecilia’s stay in the countryside, or Noel. She simply wanted her daughter to have a
smooth marriage with Julian, and have his protection as Cecilia stayed by his side for a lifetime.
As a mother, Sue would do anything to make sure her daughter had such a good life and be forever
content.
The Jarvis family had fully approved of Julian bing their future son-inw.
