Chapter 1125

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1125 “Unless…”

She bit her lip and went on, “Unless you’re going to the Jarvises’ residence to maintain your engagement and relationship with Cecilia. In that case, I won’t come along.”

“Listen to what you’re saying,” Julian said, getting slightly annoyed. He told her honestly, “Something happened between Cecilia and Noel.”

He told Diana everything that had been on his mind during this entire time.

He then held her hand and led her into the car, instructing the driver to head to the Jarvises’ residence.

“Cecilia called me, asking me to come over and take Noel away from Mrs. Jarvis. Now that one night has passed, Noel has probably left the Jarvises. The main reason I’m heading there is to see how things between Cecilia and Noel are, and to call off the engagement.”

If Cecilia refused to raise the matter, Julian would look for Mrs. Jarvis himself.

Either way…

“I’ll call off his engagement today.”

No matter the consequences, Julian was willing to face them all.

Finally having a clear idea of his intention brought a smile to Diana’s face. “I was right to come with you this time.”

She removed her shoes and curled herself up into a ball, placing her feet on the edge of the seat and hugging her arms around her knees. She glanced at Julian, then looked out of the window, biting her lips.

“I agree with you. We have to depend on ourselves if we want to call off the engagement.”

It would only be passive of them to rely on others.

For example, no one could tell when Cecilia and Noel would be together and how long they would have to wait for that to happen.

If the engagement couldn’t be called off, Julian would have to subject himself to Cecilia’s whims and fancies. He wouldn’t be able to be with Diana officially. The twins would also have to suffer because of their separation.

“Strictly speaking, it depends on me,” Diana said determinedly. “Don’t make an appearance later. I’ll go speak with Cecilia.”

She had to make things official between her and Julian today.

She didn’t want the twins living in insecurity any further.

She would do her best to give them whatever she could.

The thought of Sean’s tender yet firm voice saying that he wanted to protect her, of the hurt in his eyes because of her separation from Julian, his distrust toward Julian, and…

That slap she gave him… Everything stabbed her heart deeply.

And Betty…

She could have avoided getting hurt this time. Yet, she was pushed by Sean today.

Julian and the twins didn’t blame Diana. Nina even comforted her.

Yet, this didn’t mean that Diana could forgive herself.

Julian rejected Diana’s suggestion at once. “I don’t agree with that. Cecilia is very hostile toward you.

You’ll definitely get hurt if you go see her alone.”

Julian’s brows furrowed.

The feeling of having someone care and love for her was akin to a warm current flowing through Diana’s veins. She nodded, and pushed Julian gently. “Don’t be angry. I won’t go, then.”

But the moment the car stopped, Diana stepped out before Julian had the time to walk to her side of the car and open the door for her.

“Julian,” she said, “your engagement with Cecilia started because of me. Even Cecilia’s condition and our terrible current situation, and the twins…”

When she mentioned the twins, Diana almost couldn’t go on.

She paused for a while before continuing, “But thankfully, you never really intended on getting married to another woman. Thank you for always giving me a chance. You, like the twins, always give in to me.”

The more Diana said, the more uneasy Julian felt.

“Diana, what are you doing?”

He strode toward her.

Diana stepped back, and hurriedly made her way to the Jarvises’ residence. She headed right to Cecilia’s room, then turned back to flash him a bright smile that was laced with sorrow.

“I’m the one who started all these, so I should be the one to end it.”

The moment she said that, the door shut with a bang.

Julian was locked out of the room.

Diana and Cecilia were left alone in the room, staring at each other.
