Chapter 1052
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Chapter 1052 Diana once assumed that Layla prioritized her more than Julian.
After all, Layla doted on her and took such good care of her day in, day out.
Yet... In the end, Layla turned out to be partial toward Julian.
Diana knew it wasnât wrong of Layla to act that way.
After all, Julian was her employer.
Plus, he had lived with Layla for so many years.
Nevertheless, that didnât stop Diana from feeling disappointed.
If only Madam Fulcher, whom Layla often spoke of so fondly, were still around.
If that was the case, could Diana feel the kinship she had never experienced before? At that moment, her desire to regain her memories grew stronger.
She immediately opened the door, and took Sean and Betty to the Stewartsâ residence.
She wanted to meet Shiloh right this instant.
She shouldnât delay her task of regaining her memories any further.
Meanwhile, Julian was driving out of Fulcher Manor.
Right now, he had no idea where Noel was.
Cecilia couldnât confess her feelings to Noel personally when she couldnât even see him.
If she didnât confess, Noel would never believe that she truly liked him.
And if Noel didnât believe that, Cecilia couldnât be with him.
And if they werenât together, Cecilia wouldnât take the initiative to approach her family and call off her engagement with Julian.
If Julian was the one to call off the engagement, the Jarvises certainly wouldnât agree to it.
Cecilia had to be the one to ask for it.
But...
Where in the world was Noel? That fool! If Julian still couldn't find Noel at Albert Carterâs house in the countryside, he would have to start using his network to search for Noel.
It had been two days since he saw Diana and the twins, and he missed them dearly.
Although Dianaâs treatment of him remained dour, he couldnât help but think of her.
What could he do? Should he pluck off his head, slap himself, and rebuke himself for being such a useless prick? Julian was lost in his thoughts as he drove back to Collina Villa.
He had made up his mind.
He wouldn't get angry after getting his phone and meeting Diana.
He needed to have a proper chat with her.
He would then give her a clear explanation of his plans to call off his engagement with Cecilia.
Hopefully, that would make her attitude toward him turn for the better.
To his surprise, Laylaâs reply when he asked her about was: âMs. Winnington just went out.â Regret was written all over her face.
âWhy didnât you come back earlier, sir? She just left ten minutes ago.â Julian asked, âWhat about the twins? Did she take them with her? Where was she headed to at such a late hour?â Layla shook her head.
âI have no idea, sir.
Ms. Winnington didnât tell me anything before she left.â Julian put the phone in his pocket.
He approved of Layla telling Diana that the text came from a man.
Just as he was about to leave, he recalled that Diana wanted to buy a house.
âDoes she want to buy a house?â âYes, she does.â âWhy does she want to do that?â âShe wanted to be prepared to take her things out after you marry Ms. Jarvis.â Diana knew what was sensible to do, now that Julian and Cecilia had moved out.
It was only a matter of time until she needed to move out, too.
Julianâs good mood, after he comforted himself while driving back, immediately vanished upon hearing that.
His face turned black as he thundered, âIdiots!â Idiots, just like Noel! How in the world did Diana conclude that he wanted her to move out? How in the world did she conclude that he and Cecilia were actually planning to get married? She clearly knew that Cecilia didnât like him!
