Chapter 1037

It was as if she was going to disappear from his side at any moment-just like before.

“Don’t look at me like I’m a stranger. I was looking everywhere for you because I have good news…”

‘Today!” Diana said, cutting him off. Her voice was so wispy, it didn’t sound like she was talking about something that made her heart so heavy. Instead, it sounded like a casual conversation.

Yet, the resolve in her voice was clear.

She interrupted his eager babbling. The thought of what happened earlier made her feel disgusted with herself.

“Betty asked me what a vixen and a bitch is,” she continued.

Recalling the innocent look Betty gave her just now, Diana felt terrible.

However, she pushed her feelings to the depths of her heart, and went on, “I couldn’t answer her.”

She didn’t know how to explain such words to her children. She didn’t even want her children hearing these words in the first place.

“Sean could also tell that there were problems between us.”

Sean simply chose not to talk about it, as if he was waiting for the adults to come clean with him.

“He even said that no matter what happened, he’d choose to stay with me.”

Julian was stunned. His chest heaved with anger. “Diana!”

He went to such great lengths to finally get rid of Simon, that devil. He didn’t do that to hear Diana say all these things!

“Are you going to give up again?” He was puzzled.

His brows were furrowed, telling of the anger that was growing in him. “Didn’t I tell you to trust me? Is this how you express your trust?”

Diana looked into his eyes fearlessly.

“How do you want me to trust you? I’ve tried doing that, but I realized that perhaps we aren’t fated to be together.

“Otherwise, why are there always people creating trouble for us?!

“No.

“It’s not that people create trouble for us.

“It’s us that’s destroying other people’s happiness.”

Even though Simon caused his own disability, if Diana hadn’t pushed him away, it would’ve been difficult for him to cause the accident.

If she hadn’t taken the liberty of inviting Cecilia to her studio to try on the gown, Cecilia wouldn’t have gotten herself involved between her and Julian.

“No matter who Cecilia likes right now,” Diana said as she looked at Julian, “you should still take responsibility for her.”

As long as they remained engaged, Diana shouldn’t get close to Julian.

Otherwise, she would truly be that vixen that Cecilia was talking about.

Bitch!

Cecilia was right to call her that.

“I’ve been relying too much on you here over this period,” Diana said.

She took a deep breath.

‘To be honest, I’m the one who can’t bear to leave. I’m always expecting something out of you. This time, I even thought that as long as we’re determined enough, nothing can’t be solved. That things would surely work out between us. But…”

One look from Betty and Sean’s retreating figure were enough to destroy her.

Aside from Julian.

Aside from this man…

There were still many very, very important people in her life.

Julian finally understood what she meant. “You’re still thinking of giving up?”

He sneered. His eyes turned cold.

The disappointment and sorrow he felt overwhelmed the joy he had when he saw her in his room.

“Were you really determined enough? Were you determined enough to choose to be with me?”

He laughed bitterly. “You weren’t. I’m always the one you give up so easily! That’s the case now, and that was the case three years ago too!”

Even until now, he couldn’t figure out why Diana left him back then.

To top it off, she had left him at a time he was sick and needed her the most!

He considered all the possibilities in the world, and could only arrive at one conclusion: he was completely unimportant to her!
