Chapter 1015

Julian even obediently lowered his body, looking almost submissive.

Diana found it disdainful. It made her angrier. Without hesitation, she bit his arm.

“Still the same as before,” he said, as if teasing a little dog. He patted Diana’s head playfully and smiled. “Always biting people at the slightest provocation.”

Saying that, he revealed the teeth marks on his arm to her. Those bite marks seemed to have been there for quite some time. A few distinct tooth imprints remained clearly visible.

“You’re the one who left these marks,” Julian reminded her with a knowing smile, aware that she might not remember.

Diana was momentarily lost in thought. The marks gave her a glimpse of certain moments of joy she had shared with Julian.

However, she couldn’t recall those moments at all.

That didn’t stop her heart from suddenly softening, though.

Even so, her gaze soon grew tender, and her voice became gentler. She couldn’t help but sniffle slightly.

“Tell me already! What’s the deal with Betty?”

“Are you trying to be cute with me?”

Julian remained composed and nonchalant. He avoided her question, and instead peppered her with more questions. His gaze was filled with deep affection, and Diana felt her breath hitch at the emotion in them.

Soon, she found it hard to catch her breath. She was drowning at sea, and felt like someone was offering her air to breathe.

It was Julian.

He was kissing her!

Diana’s eyes widened, and she pushed him away forcefully.” What do you think you’re doing?”

“Just messing with you,” he replied.

Diana hadn’t anticipated such a response. The anger she had prepared dissipated into a fuzzy, warm atmosphere around them. It left her almost defenseless.

She had come to demand an explanation, not to engage with him in any other way.

Diana reigned in her emotions, and clenched her fist as she calmed herself down. She wanted to continue interrogating the arrogant man before her, who was looking at her so calmly.

Today, he was dressed in a navy blue double-breasted suit. The matching trousers accentuated his perfect figure.

He remained tranquil, a faint smile lingering on his lips. Yet, his gaze held malicious scrutiny.

What an insufferable snob!

This thought suddenly floated into her mind. Diana restrained her heart from being swayed by his allure, and forcefully maintained her composure.

“Tell me! Why is Betty ignoring me?”

“Considering you closed the door on me and acted cute, not to mention the wall slam… Because of your rare show of interest in me, I’ll tell you.”

The more Diana listened, the more ludicrous it felt to her. “I didn’t…”

Julian’s touched her lips. “Didn’t what? Didn’t just kiss me?”

He gestured toward her arms, that were still on his side.” Wasn’t that a wall slam?”

Then, he pointed at the door she had closed and pretended to realize. “Oh, my mistake! The wind must’ve closed the door, not Ms. Winnington.”

Diana was speechless.

Why did she say anything to him in the first place?

She wasn’t someone who stumbled over her words. Yet in his presence, she turned into a mute fool who couldn’t utter a single word.

Sensing her discomfort, Julian didn’t tease her anymore. Instead, he turned serious. He took her hand, pushed the door open, and walked with her down the corridor.

He patiently explained, “I didn’t manipulate Betty to distance herself from you. It’s just that your recent attitude towards me frightened her. If our relationship becomes harmonious, if you’re no longer so dissatisfied and aggressive, she’ll naturally get closer to you.”
