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

Chapter 294 Avoid her like a wild animal
Sitting in the copilot seat, Niki maintained a decent posture outward as if nothing had
happened.
But in fact, her heart was now as rough as a stormy sea. Gusts of strong winds broke
the tranquility, and she was also in a state of imminent loss of control.
Niki kept peeping at Julian on and on, while her head turned more and more frequently.
But Julian was completely immersed in his chaotic mind, and everything around him had
been abandoned, including the unrequited love in his heart.
Another five or six minutes had passed.
Niki couldn’t hold on anymore.
She took a deep breath and took out the small mirror she had just stuffed back from her
bag.
In the mirror, the original bright red dazzling blood beads on the woman’s lip had dried
up, and her lips were no longer brilliant.
Niki’s eyes darkened a bit.
From beginning to end, the man’s gaze was not really on her, so the blood on her mouth
had long since lost its meaning.
The dried blood droplets were just placed on this innocent face like that.
Like a scar, it reminded the woman of her failure.
Niki felt extremely resentful in her heart. She almost took out the tissue with the fastest

and most ruthless speed and wiped away the “shame” that contained in it.
It was as if she would abrade her lips with such a strong force before she would give up.
Wiped for several times was not enough, she even wiped twenty or thirty times...
It seemed that as long as the neglected blood droplets were wiped away, the man could
return to her side.
Then she could shake Natalie off hard...
But mixed with strong emotion, her action of wiping lips was too fierce, not to mention
her lips were already injured...
The wound reopened.
“Ah-“, Niki instinctively made a coquettish sound.
This voice was neither loud nor soft, it was within a just fine range, and it perfectly
reached the ears of Julian.
As Julian heard the sound, he instinctively turned his head to glance at her, “What’s the
matter?”
Niki turned her head in tears.
She pointed to her lips. “Julian... Blood... It hurts so much... Ah.”
Then he saw her delicate cherry-like lips filled with crimson blood, which covered the dry
bloodstains.
The skin was a bit torn, and the pink lips inside were pulled out, it looked a bit
eye-catching.

Julian’s expression changed slightly.
“Don’t panic, there’s a medical kit in the back.”
After saying this, the man parked his car on the roadside in a hurry.
In fact, Julian knew that the injury was not serious.
It could even be considered a negligible wound.
But the woman’s expression was truly aggrieved, as if she had suffered a lot of pain.
Julian hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to park his car by the roadside, hoping to help her with her wound treatment.
After all, he was guilty of Niki.
Now helping her with the wound was also a form of disguised compensation.
“Julian... Why do you stop the car?” Niki blinked her big eyes as if she was a bit puzzled.
“I’ll help you with the wound.”
“No, Julian... Just go on, you don’t have to worry about me.”
Julian ignored her words and opened the car door in direct to get the medical kit from
the trunk.
As soon as the man left, Niki’s sobs in a soft voice stopped at once while she looked
slightly from the rearview mirror to observe the man.
up
When Julian arrived at the copilot seat with the medical kit, tears returned to her eyes.
“Julian... I’ll do it myself, I won’t trouble you.”
“I always trouble you in daily life...”

Although Niki kept refusing by saying this, she had no intention of refusing by her
actions.
She sat in the copilot seat with a soft and weak posture, without getting up or any
movement to take the medical kit from the man’s hand at all.
Julian bent down and stroked Niki’s crimson lips in a gentle manner.
At the moment when his hand touched her upper lip, Niki gave a thrill while her heart
trembled heavily.
“What’s wrong? Did it hurt you?”
Niki shook her head in a hurry. “No...”
She covered her bouncing chest, trying to calm down.
“Remember to tell me when it hurts.”
Julian bent down and picked up the medical kit to search for the ointment with his long. eyelashes trembling.
Niki fixed her gaze on Julian while her heart pounding incessantly and was unable to calm down.
This man... was really handsome to the extreme.
Even if she saw him many times, she would still be tempted... Niki was fixed on looking.
at the face close at hand. Her cheeks were even redder than blood at the moment,
almost blushing.
Was it possible that the woman Natalie kept saying that she didn’t love Julian at all?
Standing there with such a face, there would be many women flocking, let alone Julian, who was still the CEO of the Graham
Group.
She didn’t believe that anyone wouldn’t be tempted.

Julian held the ointment in his hand and squeezed out a paste in a gentle manner. The transparent ointment remained at his
fingertips with a faint fragrance.
Then he gently rubbed the wound with his slender fingers, hoping to use the gentlest itching to minimize the pain on her lip.
The atmosphere changed at once.
“Julian...” Niki whispered the man’s name and grabbed the man’s suit and tie with a bewildered mind in a gentle manner.
She wanted to kiss him.
As she was about to touch his lips, Julian seemed to be electrocuted and turned his head away in a hurry.
The evasive appearance was as if the woman in front of him was a raging beast.
“It’s finished...”
His tone was quite stiff and evasive.
He picked up the medical kit and closed the door with a series of smooth movements, leaving Niki stunned in the same place.
What did he mean...?
Was he unwilling?
Why did he hid so fast?
Niki’s exultation as he rubbed medicine on her vanished in a flash.
Was it because she’s dirty?
Natalie had been trapped in that dirty changing room for so long, why didn’t she be
hated?
Natalie’s skirt was all muddy, and he was willing to hug such a dirty woman!
Why? Why? Why was it?!

Niki didn’t understand.

The next morning, in the VIP room of Chicago Hospital.
Sunlight trickled down from the window. Lying in her sickbed, Natalie opened her eyes
little by little.
What came into her view was the snow-white walls, and the instruments were ticking
around her.
Although there was no one in the ward, she felt as though something was pressing
down on her leg, preventing her from moving.
Then she sat up and saw a man lying on her quilt, he was sleeping.
But the man did not sleep soundly. She woke up the man with just one move.
“Natalie, you are awake!”
Tory stood up all of a sudden and began to care about her before he could even wipe his
face.
“How’s it going? Are you thirsty? Would you like some water? Is there anything wrong?”
Tory’s questions seemed to come in a barrage, one after another.
He looked anxious, as if she was really dying.
Seeing that Tory cared about her so much, she curled up her lips and silently smiled.
It was really great to see her family as soon as she was awake.
When she used to be sick, she had to take care of herself alone, and Julian had never

been by her side.
She almost forgot what it was like to be with her family...
Today, when she suddenly saw Tory lying by her bed and taking care of herself all night,
she felt really warm.
Seeing Natalie’s smile, Tory panicked at once.
Did she became silly since she smiled all of a sudden?
“Your symptoms aren’t quite right, Natalie, is there any after-effects?”
“Lie down, hurry up. I will give you a physical examination.”
“If I find out the doctors here have left you with any after-effects, I’ll have to take them to
account.”
Natalie’s smile was still hanging on the corner of her mouth.
She shook her head and said in a soft tone, “I’m fine. I just woke up and feeling so happy
to see my uncle...”
Tory’s hand that was preparing to gave her an physical examination stopped all of a
sudden.
He was a bit stunned, and it took him a while to realize what Natalie was saying. Then
his heart suddenly felt bad at it.
Tory hugged Natalie. “In the past three years, it must really hard for you...”
“You must have suffered a lot of injustice with Julian. Don’t be afraid. I will take you
home today.”
