---- Chapter 15 Noelle, who was busy playing with her doll, didn't refute Maria's claims. Angela was still feeling bewildered as she was chased out of the house with Julian. Just before leaving, Maria stopped her and whispered, "Julian seems like a decent man. Since you two are legally married now, you should make the most of it. Don't look back anymore." Maria was trying her best to set Angela on the right track. Knowing that what she'd gone through so far saddened her family as well, Angela nodded in agreement. Julian drove them back to his place. Although they hadn't held their wedding ceremony yet, it was perfectly normal for legally married couples to stay together. Angela didn't object to staying in the same house, but when it was time for bed, she said sheepishly, "I think Ineed to make a trip back home." ---- His house had all the daily necessities, even disposable ones for guests. It was even more well- equipped than a five-star hotel. Nevertheless, Angela couldn't bring herself to sleep in a dressing gown, and she didn't want to show up for the rehearsal tomorrow in the outfit she wore today. Although it wasn't exactly an unbecoming outfit, she thought it would feel a little odd that she wore the same outfit to both her wedding rehearsal and her marriage registration. "Tf you don't mind, you can wear something of mine after you've showered." Julian retrieved an ironed shirt from his closet and passed it to Angela. It smelled of the scented sachet that hung in his closet, and the scent was similar to the cologne he frequently used. Although Angela felt a little embarrassed about it, sleeping in his shirt was still better than using a dressing gown-or worse, his pajamas. Thus, she set her things down and said, "Okay, then." Julian watched as she went to the bathroom. As he sat by the window and waited, his heart was filled with a ---- level of joy he'd never felt before. At last, he'd fulfilled the wish he'd harbored for many years now. Alas, the idyllic peace was broken by the sound of Angela's phone ringing on the table. She'd turned her phone back on when she got home, thinking that Carl would've given up by now. Alas, the peace only lasted until nighttime. The caller was an unfamiliar number. Harboring a suspicion similar to Angela's earlier one, Julian answered her phone. However, he remained silent, waiting for the caller to speak first. True enough, it was Carl's voice that came through the phone. "Have you kicked up enough of a fuss yet?" he grumbled. "I've already agreed to marry you, so what more do you want? If you intend on keeping this up, then we should just call it quits. I don't care how you managed to create the fake photo you uploaded on Instagram. Delete it at once-" "The photo's real.
