Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1531

Marcus and Nina had come, too.

The house they once found too remote before they lived in the far suburbs had now become their abode.

“In other words,” Nina said, as shock grew in her heart,” Fanny didn’t really die?!”

“She did. A spirit is living in this house,” Marcus said.

Nina was stumped.

The car ground to a stop, and both of them stepped out of the car. Before they got out, the assistant gave Nina a set of men’s clothes. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She felt rather embarrassed. “I don’t need it. It’ll be terrible if I dirty Mr. Jensen’s clothes…”

“These clothes don’t belong to Mr. Jensen,” the assistant said, laughing. “Only his girlfriend has the right to wear his clothes!”

Nina’s face flushed red. “I’m not…”

She didn’t want to wear Marcus’s clothes. She had never worn any man’s jacket, aside from Vans’s. Wearing clothes that didn’t have his familiar scent felt strange for her.

“She’s not my girlfriend,” Marcus piped up. “Ms. Ashlee, I know you’re taken.”

It seemed this man had seen through their relationship when Vans chased after them just now.

There was irony in his eyes. He saw Nina lowered her head in a panic, as if she did something wrong.

After all, to many, she was a homewrecker. Even so, she was clearly the one who met Vans first.

The indignation she had been suppressing in her heart all along suddenly reared its ugly head. Nina looked down in embarrassment, not daring to look into Marcus’s eyes.

“Watch out,” he said, as he led her to the stairs.

The stairs here were very old, and one might bump his head at the last step.

Without warning, Marcus put his hand on Nina’s head.

It felt fuzzy and warm. The sudden touch, and his unexpected thoughtfulness, made Nina’s hair stand on end. She hurriedly stepped away, trying to keep her distance.

“I will, I will.”

As she said that…

Bam!

Her head hit the corner of the staircase.

Marcus fell silent.

The assistant piped up, “The famous reporter Ms. Ashlee isn’t an old woman, and she’s also dorky and adorable…and even a little silly.”

Nina was baffled. If she could, she would seal that assistant’s mouth up with tape!

But all she did was chuckle and say, ‘These stairs aren’t designed very well.”

With that… Bam!

It happened again!

It was her second time bumping her head.

Fine.

“I might really be a little silly,” Nina confessed, on the verge of tears.

She had never been so embarrassed in her life. For some strange reason, she always felt a little exposed before Marcus.

She had this strange impression whenever this man looked at her.

One that…

Felt the same as when Vans looked at her.

That was how Vanslooked at her when they first started dating. It was a passionate and amused look, yet filled with gentleness.

Marcus had the same look in his eyes when he touched her head just now.

However, Nina knew him to be the top actor in the industry, with insane popularity. Someone like him couldn’t possibly be interested in her. He was just used to putting up an act. After all, he was used to playing devoted and loving male leads
