Chapter 1120

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1120 “I had something on last night,” Julian said, looking at Diana when he answered the call.

Her hair was still wet from the shower. She wrapped it up with a towel and was holding a hairdryer, waiting for him at the bedside.

When Diana heard him talk about last night, her eyes darkened.

“What did you have on?”

“What did you have on?”

Two voices sounded at the same time; one was Cecilia over the phone, the other was Diana standing right next to Julian.

Julian swallowed past his constricted throat.

“I was with Diana last night,” he confessed.

Diana smiled. She mouthed her question, “Who is it?”

“Cecilia,” Julian replied to her.

The mention of Cecilia’s name made Diana’s smile freeze. She suddenly felt at a loss.

What happened last night was real. Their feelings and passion for each other were real.

But… Julian and Cecilia’s engagement was real, too!

Diana clenched her fists, feeling upset beyond words.

“Let me talk to Ms. Jarvis,” she said after a moment’s thought, stretching her hand out to Julian.

However, Julian didn’t let her have his phone. Instead, he hung up immediately.

He said solemnly, ‘You don’t need to step in between Cecilia and me.”

Cecilia had animosity toward Diana-she might get nasty with her words if Diana took the call. Julian didn’t want Diana getting scolded and humiliated.

Thus, he decided to just hang up.

Diana felt uncomfortable with him hanging up just like that.” Do you think that what happened between us last night is something to be hidden? It’d make me seem less justifiable if I took the call, is that it?”

‘That’s not what I meant,” Julian said, “I just don’t want you getting hurt.”

He went on honestly, “What’s more, Cecilia was already shrieking over the phone just now. If she hears your voice over the phone, she might just…collapse.”

Julian’s words weren’t pleasant to the ears, but they were honest.

Diana calmed down. Tm sorry. I wasn’t thinking clearly.”

She just wanted to have a good chat with Cecilia. She could take anything that Cecilia flung her with.

However, she forgot that her mere presence was enough of a trigger for Cecilia. Diana felt very disappointed right now.

“Am I behaving just like a homewrecker right now?”

She had taken the initiative last night, after all.

Julian’s eyes immediately turned sharp and solemn. “What nonsense! I’ve already said that my engagement with Cecilia doesn’t count!”

Diana raised her voice when she heard Julian do so. “But you’re still her fiance right now. I’m just an ex-wife!”

If that were the case, what they did last night was truly shameful!

Intense pressure and shame overwhelmed her as tears welled up in her eyes. She clenched her fists, her lips turning pale.

“Are you mocking me in your heart? Julian, tell me! Are you mocking me? Mocking me for throwing myself at you shamelessly, seducing other people’s fiance…”

“Enough,” Julian said, reaching out to fold her into his arms.

He hugged her tight.

He sealed his lips over hers, giving her a long, deep kiss.

It took her breath away.

He only finally stopped when she almost couldn’t breathe and started pushing him away. Still, he continued holding her in his arms.

“Don’t say that of yourself,” he crooned. His heart ached at those words.

‘You’re not an ex-wife. In my heart, you’ve always been my wife.” Julian sighed in relief when he sensed Diana calming down. ‘Tm not somebody else’s fiance, either. Don’t worry, I’ll call off the engagement today. I won’t let you down.”

Diana’s lips were slightly swollen from his kiss. When she looked into his eyes, she suddenly felt shy.

She leaned into his embrace, and asked moodily, “What about Cecilia?”

“Mommy!”

Julian was about to reply to her when the knocking on the door grew louder. Sean was still outside.

“Mommy! I heard Daddy’s voice! Is he bullying you? Are you guys fighting?”

Sean’s voice was still ringing when they heard Betty exclaim, “No way! Daddy wouldn’t bully Mommy!

He’s the best Daddy in the world!”

“What do you know?” Sean had never yelled at Betty that way.
