Chapter 1038

Julian had been lying to himself and to everyone else.

Over the past three years, he had been trying hard to make himself forget about the pain from his sickness-his wild yearning for her even as he fought for his own life, how he had been humbled enough to pray that if the heavens allowed him to leave, he could see her just one more time.

Now, everything he had been trying to forget resurfaced once again, triggered by Diana wanting to give everything up once again.

He was a man, that was true.

Even so, he could feel indignant too!

Ever since he reunited with her, he had neglected these feelings.

His only desire was to be with her again. Everything else was a non-issue.

But since Simon’s accident, Diana resisted finding her memories back.

Julian gradually gave up forcing her to regain her memories. He even felt that perhaps the truth behind her departure three years ago wasn’t that important anymore.

As long as she was willing to stay by his side, he was willing to accept anything.

But now…

He had gotten rid of the obstacle that was Simon, and even managed to arrive at a consensus with Cecilia, having heard her admit that she liked Noel.

Even though Cecilia still held animosity against Diana, it was simply because she couldn’t let go of what happened at Diana’s studio back then.

But when Cecilia looked at the big picture, she would realize that it wasn’t impossible for her to live without Julian.

As long as they held on a bit longer, success was bound to be theirs.

The engagement was bound to be broken, too.

Yet, Diana didn’t want to hold on any longer.

She wanted to give up on him again.

Everything Julian had done over the past few days felt like a joke. His heart turned cold, and his brows were furrowed as he snarled, “Diana. Three years ago, you left me without a word. You even faked your own death.’’

Back then, he had cried so much before her tombstone!

Diana could sense the shift in Julian’s mood. She instantly knew he was referring to what had happened three years ago.

Three years ago…

Her mind continued to draw a blank when she tried to think back on what had happened back then. Her mind was in a mess.

“How did I fake my own death…”

Since she decided to leave, why did she have to leave in such a terrible, messy way?

On the other hand, Julian had no reason to care about her mumbling to herself.

He knew that she couldn’t remember anything. He wasn’t hoping that she would.

He simply wanted to express the deep indignation he felt. He wanted to vent out his sorrows and displeasure.

‘Three years later, after I did so much in order to walk firmly toward you, you’re telling me that you’re giving up. You even want to share custody of the twins with me. Diana Winnington, what do you take me for? If you really love me, you can’t possibly be so selfish time and time again.”

Diana panicked. “What do you want me to do, then? I don’t even know what happened to me!

“I can’t believe my ears when you said that I faked my own death. How could I possibly do such a thing?

“Am I really someone who would do something so ridiculous?!

“My mind’s in a bigger mess than yours is right now. I want to know what happened to me three years ago even more desperately than you do!

“You really shouldn’t force me like this! You…”

Julian was angered by her choice of words. “I, force you? How could you say that?

“Simon put up an act and used his disability to gain your trust and sympathy. In fact, just a while back, he even tried to make a move on my woman in my room!

“Diana, why don’t you accuse him of forcing you?!

“Why didn’t you accuse him and blame him as loudly as you’re accusing me right now?! Instead, you pretended nothing happened and went back to your room calmly after the police verified the evidence and left.”

Was Diana calm?

She wasn’t calm at all!

Before he came to the room, she was biting her lips so hard they almost bled. Back then, she even considered biting her tongue hard if Simon came closer to her.

Could she really do it?

Would she be able to make it happen?

At that time, in that split second, she wished she could fasten Simon in his wheelchair!

Butthen, Julian came, 1 The man she trusted the most came.
