Chapter 1026

Diana eventually didn't let Julian take the roller coaster again.

She knew Julian wanted to defend his pride in front of Simon, so she decided to use her own discomfort as an excuse. “I want to go home.”

“Alright.” Julian confirmed with her once more. “Are you sure you don't want to ride on it one last time?”

“We have plenty of opportunities in the future. We can always come again next time,” Diana said. “We don't need to force it this time.”

Her words pleased him.

Julian said happily, “You're right.”

They had all the time in the world.

In the future, they would have the chance to come again.

“Let's go home,” Julian said, as he called the driver. The driver set up the ramp and pushed Simon into the car before carrying the twins inside. Finally, he left the front row seats for Julian and Diana.

Simon could see them each time he looked up. Diana could tell that Simon felt uncomfortable. She had reminded Julian many times that she wanted to exchange seats with Betty, but Julian would always reject her with many excuses. She could only smile awkwardly at Simon from time to time.

The moment they got out of the car and back to the room, Simon began his tirade. “You don't want to leave Julian, and you don’t want to leave Collina Villa either, right? I've been waiting for your reply since I asked you if you want to leave with me. From what I see today, you clearly don’t want to leave with me.”

His face was full of disappointment. “What else did I expect? My legs are now useless. Who'd be willing to follow a cripple?”

Diana immediately explained herself. “It's not because of your legs. I...”

“Enough!”

Simon didn’t want to hear her out. He had yelled so suddenly. His face paled when he realized what he did, and he quickly apologized to Diana.

“I’m sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you.”

“My wrist feels uncomfortable. Can you help me check it?”

Diana didn't look very happy.

Still, she reminded herself that Simon was a patient and Julian was indeed guilty of provoking him somewhat today.

With that in mind, Diana decided to tolerate him. She was at fault, too.

Even though the happiness she was feeling right now belonged to her.

“Sure,” she said. She nodded, and drew closer to Simon’s wheelchair.

Her soft hair fell next to him, and swept across him like a furry tail.

Suddenly, Simon pulled Diana into his embrace.

“Simon! What are you doing?! Let me go!” Diana sensed something was amiss, and struggled to stand up straight.

To her surprise, Simon sneered and hugged her waist.

That was how Julian hugged Diana today on the carousel.

She had smiled so sweetly then.

Oh, no.

Julian even kissed her.

A crazed look burned in Simon’s eyes. He bore with the pain shooting up his legs as he tried to stand up from the wheelchair.

It took him almost all his strength.

He was doing it so he could hold Diana's head and press it against his.

He was quite strong.

Diana’s mind went blank as she subconsciously struggled against Simon's hold. Her body was instinctively resisting a man she didn't love.

That subconscious rejection provoked Simon even further. He knew he was unable to pull Diana’s head down, so he moved her cheeks close to him. In one vicious move, he yanked her hair down!

Diana winced in pain. Simon seized the chance to pull her head down to his chest.

He pulled her hair away wildly like a mad captive, his hands trapping her head between them as he lowered his own head to kiss her.

This was his first time forcing himself upon her.

It was also his first time being so rough with her.

Diana found it hard to react to the sudden turn of events, but she managed to shove him away hard at the last moment.

Yet, he was too strong as he held her face with a vice-like grip, refusing to let go.

His face was inches away from hers. He just needed to lean in a bit more, and he'd be able to kiss her face.

He wanted to kiss her lips!

To leave his imprint on her!

Diana didn’t belong to Julian! She belonged to him!
