Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1542

That was Nina’s first kiss.

Vans was way too aggressive.

Her mind had gone numb throughout the entire kiss. When he finally let her go, she was still stunned in her seat, feeling lost. All she could feel was his warmth on her lips.

It was a mark that he left on her, and the scent of her first love.

“Look closely.” Before she could snap back to reality, Vans pulled his phone out and showed Nina the screen in the dark cinema. He scrolled to the names of the women he had been fooling around with.

“I’m deleting them all, and I’ve also just kissed you. Ms. Ashlee, will you be in a relationship with me now?” That was how Nina fell in love with Vans.

But now, they hadn’t even kissed each other for a long time. Even a hug felt like a rare treat.

Bitterness rose in Nina’s chest. She suddenly didn’t know why she was holding onto this relationship.

The car drove on as silence fell upon them in the car.

After a long while, Nina finally said, “My past…isn’t very interesting.” Before she met Vans, she barely had a love life, and her career had just started. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

However, she was willing to strive and gave her all to her work.

At that time, she just wanted to remain in this city. Not for anyone else, but herself.

Three to four years had passed, and she was now successful in her career, achieving her dream of being an editor-in-chief.

She had worked hard and gained a foothold in this city. Yet, she didn’t feel as happy as she expected herself to be.

Nina leaned against the back of the chair, suddenly bereft of motivation. She looked into Marcus’s eyes, and said frankly, “Mr. Hensen, I clearly have everything I ever wanted, but why…do I still feel so unhappy?” Marcus’s hand, which was on her skin, trembled. The amusement in his eyes faded as he transformed back into that cold, unfeeling Marcus.

He didn’t reply to her question.

He had the same question himself, too.

After becoming famous at a young age, life had become smooth-sailing. He had won all the awards he could, and had earned for himself millions of fans. People recognized him on the streets despite being all wrapped up, and they would clamor for a photo with him.

The assistant said that this was the mark of a famous celebrity.

Many celebrities didn’t even have a chance to film movies despite being in the industry for a long time, not to mention being a household name like Marcus was.

Even Fanny was only famous for a short while and soon faded into the background.

Marcus had experienced all the highs and lows of the industry. He should be thankful that he was considered an evergreen favorite.

Yet, he often felt unhappy.

Just like Nina’s question, he clearly had everything he ever wanted, so why was he…still so unhappy?

Silence fell upon them once more.

Nina finally broke the silence when they arrived at the Fulchers’. “Mr. Jensen, we’re here.” A warm and bright smile appeared on Marcus’s face, and it felt like a spring breeze.

Nina saw the iconic, professional smile on his face, and said, “Mr. Jensen, you don’t need to behave so professionally. Diana is a very nice lady, and she’ll help you find Fanny even without you asking.” They were all friends with Fanny. Although they seldom hung out, they would help each other out whenever necessary.

Such a relationship was even stronger than that shared between ordinary friends, and even family.

Marcus didn’t know about their relationship. The only thing he knew was that when Fanny last contacted him, she told him to find Diana if she didn’t return by one o’clock.

However, Diana was also Mrs. Fulcher.
