Chapter 1008
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana pondered about that for a long time.
Julian went about his day as usual over the past few days, appearing oblivious to the fact that he was being cheated on.
Diana kept looking at him with pity in her eyes.
One day, Julian finally couldnât stand it any longer.
He hadnât spoken to Diana for a long time, except for when the twins were around.
Yet, the pity in her eyes whenever she looked at him grew day by day.
Her pity toward him had grown into overwhelming compassion.
Finally, on the way home after sending Sean to kindergarten, Julian pressed Diana against the car passenger seat at the back.
His overwhelming presence filled her senses.
Diana couldnât help but shrink back into her seat. âWhat do you want?â
She looked like a deer caught in headlights, feeling helpless and trapped.
Julianâs throat suddenly felt dry and parched, his gaze toward Diana turning sharp and incisive. âDonât you know what I want?â
With that, his hands started roaming up her body.
Diana was stunned for a second before slapping his hand away, shocked. âHow would I know?!â
Why did he start getting touchy with her?
âHow is this appropriate when Ceciliaâ¦â
Diana was about to mention his fiancee when the words died in her throat.
If someone had to be blamed for behaving inappropriately in this engagement, first. She seemed to have feelings for Noel, after all.
âWhat?â Julian leaned in closer to her at the sight of her stammering. He looked at her with crystal-clear eyes. âWhat exactly do you want to say?â
âNothing,â Diana said as she straightened herself up in the seat and pushed him away again.
She wanted to keep her distance from him.
She thought about it and decided to bury Ceciliaâs affair in her heart for now. She didnât want to make groundless accusations and make Julian think she was stirring up trouble.
But more than that, she didnât want to embarrass him.
However, Julian kept staring at her, and he clearly wouldnât let her out of the car unless she said something.
She shrugged and looked down guiltily, afraid that Julian might be able to see through her. Instead, she casually said,â I just want to talk about the twins.â
His hands dropped to his knees, his mood falling in an instant. But very soon, he looked at her with his brows arched and said, âWhat about them?â
âWe should talk about who will be taking care of them,â Diana said as she took a deep breath and told him about what she had been pondering over the past few days. âYouâll marry Cecilia sooner or later.
They canât possibly keep following you⦠But if I take both of them away, youâll surely object to that.
âIâve considered this matter for a long time. I think we should each take one of the twins and allow each other to visit the other at any time. I also think itâs best that we live apart for the sake of you and Ceciliaâ¦â
âHahâ¦â Julian sneered before she finished.
She had worded it all so nicely.
âIs it really for the sake of me and Cecilia? Do you really think Cecilia and I can get married?â
âOf course!â Diana immediately sat up straight at Julianâs question, worried she might expose her doubts. She continued, âYou and Cecilia are already engaged. If you donât marry her, wonât you hurt her again?â
Julian grew anxious. Diana had always been capable of affecting his mood easily.
His mood always became unpredictable before her.
He couldnât tell that Diana was trying to probe for more information from him.
He simply felt disappointed by what he heard from her.
To him, Diana just wanted to draw a line between them so that she could run away with Simon and lead their happy lives together!
The look in his eyes turned increasingly cold and frightening.
