Chapter 1078

Diana had been waiting for Julian.

She had been waiting for him to contact her.

However, he hadn’t done so.

He simply left the restaurant and got into his car, as if her abrupt departure hadn’t affected him the slightest.

Diana felt deeply disappointed.

After Julian’s car left, Diana walked into the crowd and made her way to the subway station. The bodyguards following her at a distance were unaware of what had transpired. Julian had only instructed them to ensure her safety from afar. They didn’t report her Diana standing behind the big tree to him.

Diana didn’t rush to find Nina; instead, she went to the cemetery. She wanted to visit Madam Fulcher, Aster, and Star first.

When Julian arrived in the countryside, Albert was already waiting at the gate. Seeing Julian getting out of the car, he quickly approached Julian. ’■Sir.”

Julian nodded. “Where’s Cecilia?”

Albert didn’t rush to respond; instead, he handed a stack of money to Julian. “Please return this to Mrs.

Jarvis for me.” He then explained to Julian what had happened since Sue arrived here. Julian’s face darkened.

“Her mother took her away?”

He wondered if Cecilia had told Sue about canceling the engagement. “I’ll go to the Jarvis residence.

You can rest assured I’ll help you return the money.”

Julian sat in the car, looking at the stack of money. His heart felt heavy. He hoped Cecilia would fulfill their agreement and annul the engagement.

When he arrived at the Jarvis residence, he discovered that Cecilia hadn’t said anything to Sue.

Sue greeted him warmly upon seeing him. “Hello, Mr. Fulcher.”

It seemed she had anticipated Julian’s visit. She approached him and said, “It’s been only a short while since you’ve parted with Cecilia, and you’re already here. Looks like my husband and I made the right choice to pick you as our future son-in-law.”

She motioned for Julian to take a seat. “It’s just about time for dinner. I’ve instructed the kitchen to prepare some dishes you like.”

Her words were heartfelt, and her eyes showed sincerity. It was clear that she regarded Julian as her future son-in-law. From her perspective, Julian was the perfect future son-in- law. Her warm hospitality was both proper and courteous.

However, her expectation became an unintentional burden for Julian.

Julian wanted to end this relationship quickly, and go to Diana. He wanted to offer Diana a future or just marry her again, which was the best assurance and commitment he could give her.

For Diana’s sake, he had to brush off Sue’s goodwill.

But the way Sue looked at him was so affectionate…just like his grandmother before she passed away.

It seemed like the saying was true; a mother-in-law who kept looking at her son-in-law would be more satisfied with him in time.

Julian wanted to ask Cecilia, but the words got stuck in his throat.

It wasn’t until the meal was over, with guests and hosts enjoying themselves, that Julian successfully navigated the conversation.

He used his good manners and extensive knowledge to create a pleasant atmosphere. By the end of the dinner, even Cecilia’s father, Frederick Jarvis, seemed quite satisfied. The man extended the evening by chatting with Julian about economic matters.

These topics were Julian’s strong suit, and he effortlessly cleared away any clouds obscuring the recent business challenges faced by the Jarvis family.

Frederick was naturally pleased, and even invited Julian to share a drink in his study.
