After the Divorce, CEO Realizes He’s the Stand-In Lover

Chapter 330

Chapter 330 It was the wrong person

Julian stared at this tallsman, and emotions flashed through his eyes.

This talisman carried the memories of Julian back then, and was even counted as his “matchmaker” with Niki.

So at first glance when he saw it, many emotions surged into his heart, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

Seeing that Julian had been silent for a long time, Niki felt uneasy and could only bite the bullet to speak up first.

“Julian… I just remembered that I didn’t have the talisman on, so I rushed over.”

“I was so afraid that I might lose it, so I was in such a hurry…” Niki looked down at the mess on the ground with a guilty expression.

“You know, this talisman means a lot to me. If it’s lost, I’m gonna die.”

“Please don’t be mad at me.”

Niki grabbed Julian’s clothes by the corner with her hand, pleading.

In fact, when he saw the talisman in her palm, Julian’s anger slowly dissipated.

After all, the memories it carried were pure and always hold a place in Julian’s cold heart.

A corner in his heart remained soft to his unrequited love.

It was not even an exaggeration to say that the talisman held by Niki was like adding a layer of unrequited love filter to

her.

As long as the filter was there, Julian could not easily leave her.

“I’m not mad at you.” Julian gently covered Nild’s hand with his palm.

“I know this talisman is very important to you.”

Maybe it was because of this talisman that his attitude somehow softened.

Niki was slightly shocked by Julian’s change in attitude.

“How could he forgive me so easily?”

“And so gentle?” Niki thought.

However, Niki didn’t care about the reason, and she was completely immersed in the surprise of herself escaping another trouble.

It seemed that Julian had never seen this talisman before on Natalie.

In that case, as long as Natalie didn’t show it, Niki could still hold on for a while longer!

Julian didn’t notice Nild’s long breath, as he seemed completely immersed in his emotions.

His voice was unexpectedly calm, with a touch of gentleness and tenderness.

“In fact, this talisman also meant a lot to me.”

“You know?”

“Many years ago, that afternoon, when the sun was bright and the waves were gentle. My brother and 1 struggled to call for help in the water, hoping someone would come to save us… But no one answered.”

“Just when I thought I was about to die… You appeared.”

Julian’s eyes were deep and his tone low, as if he had returned to that afternoon.

“You were covered in a layer of holy light by the sunlight, like a goddess. Without hesitation, you jumped into the water and rescued me and my brother from that river.”

“Do you know how surprised your appearance was for me, who was on the brink of death at that time?”

Julian chuckled, with a warm and elegant smile, and an ethereal yet authentic voice.

Niki looked up at him in a daze, feeling her blood start to solidify all over her body.

She was very clear that the person Julian mentioned was not her.

She had never saved anyone.

Niki was an extremely selfish person, a thoroughly egoist.

She never did anything detrimental to herself.

As for rushing into the water to save people and putting herself in a dangerous situation, she would never do it.

She couldn’t have done it even when she was younger.

Niki frozen all over her body, and her eyes gradually turned gray. Her desperate gaze bloomed on her face.

She thought that it was her charm that attracted Julian.

But now it looked like she had been wrong.

She was just mistaken for someone else.

Since the first day the met, she had never seen such a gentle expression on Julian’s face.

However, she was not the one who was supposed to see such a gentle expression, but the girl who saved him in his

memory.

Niki’s slender hands were clenched tightly into fists, trembling slightly beside her legs.

Julian’s voice was gentle and he was still speaking softly.

“I was lying on the grass, wet all over, and before the feeling of suffocation had faded… Your eyes were already engraved on my heart.”

“Niki, that was the first time we met, and I will never forget it in my entire life.”

Julian lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

But Niki averted her eyes from looking at him.

“That’s not me… It’s not our first time… It’s another woman!”

Thinking of this, Niki was almost mad with hatred.

Julian had a cold and haughty temperament, and he would never say anything to anyone with such a gentle and

affectionate tone like now.

Even during their passionate love period, Julian mostly expressed his love through practical actions, rather than saying such romantic and emotional words as he did now.

It could be seen what that girl meant to Julian.

“L…” Niki could only force a wry smile.

But her vulnerability only existed for a moment, and she quickly calmed down her panic and adjusted her mind.

Since Julian thought that girl was her, then that girl was her!!

She must establish a strong sense of belief in herself.

So she wouldn’t blow her cover.

“Julian… You can still remember the day when we first met? You are so sweet.”

Even though Niki was confused, she continued to pretend.

She had some emotion stirring in her heart, and her eyes had already shed tears, and she put on a touched expression.

She acted like she really was that girl.

She grabbed him by the corner of his clothes, her eyes filled with tears of emotion, which moved Julian greatly.

“I really didn’t know that I was worth remembering for so long… Even my parents never treated me like this.”

“Don’t cry…” Julian said in a gentle voice.

Niki continued to sob, and her speech was broken. “I’m just so moved. I was just trying to save people out of basic kindness, and I didn’t expect to be remembered by you for so many years. It’s really an honor for me.”

“I didn’t think anything else at the time. When I saw someone in the river, I just jumped into the water… Now I’m still Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

a bit scared…”

She touched her chest, seeming like she was still in shock from what happened.

Julian sighed when he saw that her face was flushed and her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn’t speak for a long time. He gently hugged her in his arms, whispering,

“You are just too kind… When you see someone calling for help, you jump down without hesitation to save him, without any regard for your own life.”

“But that’s also one of the reasons 1 like you.”

Niki lay on his chest, listening to Julian reveal her heart while sobbing softly.

“After that day, I haven’t heard from you anymore…”

“I’ve been desperately searching for all the clues to find you, but finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I can’t get any information about you.”

“I thought I was done with you for the rest of my life…”

“But I’m lucky. The god gave me another chance, a chance to meet you again.”

“The moment I saw the talisman on you, I recognized you.”

As soon as Julian finished, Niki even stopped sobbing, and her eyes widened.

Niki screamed in her head, “Talisman?!!”

“Natalie saved Julian?!”

Niki’s blood rushed all over her head, and she felt that the world was extremely absurd.

“How could New York be so small?!”

“So the one who saved Julian was Natalie?!” Thought Niki.

Niki now knew that she was the substitute. And Julian mistook that girl who had saved him. This was too ridiculous.

It was so absurd that Niki couldn’t even believe her ears.
