Chapter 1033
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Cecilia was crossing her arms.
Noel was right behind her, looking nervously and apologetically at Diana and Julian.
Noelâ¦
He was rather pitiful, really.
A question suddenly popped into Dianaâs head. In Ceciliaâs current condition, did she know that she fancied Noel? Did she have the ability to discern her own feelings?
Orâ¦
Had Diana and Julian misread Cecilia?
Did Cecilia still fancy Julian all this while?
Thinking that, Diana tried to pull her hand away from Julianâs.
Cecilia was his official fiancee, after all. Who was Diana to him?
Before Cecilia, Diana was only fit to be a scurrying mouse.
Julian could sense Dianaâs urge to escape, but refused to let her hand go.
Diana became anxious. She was about to find a way to free her hand, when Cecilia cut in, âBefore, when you stood outside my door with a laptopâ¦â
She choked on her words, but went on anyway as she looked at Julian.
âYou were watching that video to find the real reason behind Simonâs accident, so you can be with Diana without feeling guilty, right?â
âYes,â Julian said bluntly.
Dianaâs heart leapt to her throat.
So Julian had been planning for whatever happened today since then.
He truly had never given up hope of being with her.
Diana was touched, but those feelings popped in the air like bubbles even before they were fully formed.
Cecilia laughed bitterly.
It was a laugh so bitter, telling of great sorrow and pain.
âThen why did you agree to my motherâs request to marry me? Since you love her, why did you say that you agree to marry me?â she demanded.
âSo that I can bring you out of your house and treat you,â Julian said honestly. âIf you keep staying at your residence, I wonât be able to see Diana. I wouldnât be able to let Shiloh treat your condition, too.
Your mother would never agree to have a family as important as the Stewarts treat you.â
Cecilia was suffering from a mental illness, one that was very hard to treat from the root.
Sue had to hide Ceciliaâs condition from the world, for the sake of their familyâs reputation.
Cecilia gritted her teeth angrily at Julianâs explanation.
Her pure and innocent-looking face contorted with fury. â Youâre still thinking of that vixen, even when Iâm in such a state!â
With that, she tried once again to grab Dianaâs hair.
âLet go!â Julian didnât expect Cecilia to suddenly make a move. The sight of Diana wincing in pain made him anxious. âCecilia Jarvis, let go right now!â
âNever!â She yelled, her voice resounding in the villa.
Her eyes were wide open, and her eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
âI want all the vixens in the world to know the consequences of seducing other womenâs men!â she screamed.
With her vice-like grip on Dianaâs hair, she seemed to possess superhuman strength. Julian and Noel couldnât pry her away from Diana, no matter how hard they tried.
âIâll never let go, even if you threaten to chop my hand off!â
She had enough! She would never allow this vixen to be with Julian again!
Betty and Sean were resting in their rooms, tired from their trip to the amusement park, when they heard the commotion outside. They rushed out after wearing their shoes. That was when they saw Diana being pulled by her hair.
Betty couldnât take it.
It felt as though they had gone back to the time when Zachary Winnington charged into their apartment and hurt the three of them.
