Chapter 1128

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1128-Cecilia contemplated Diana’s words once more.

She had to admit it-Diana was right.

Noel’s loyalty and admiration for Julian were indeed something Cecilia couldn’t comprehend.

In the end, she nodded. “Alright. If you can help me persuade Noel, I promise you that you can talk to my mom about canceling the engagement between Julian and me.”

Cecilia had been eager to push this task to someone else. Now that Diana had taken the initiative to bear the brunt of her mother’s anger, she wasn’t sure whether to consider Diana clever or foolish.

“But I have one condition.”

“What is it?”

“Bring your face closer to mine.”

As Diana approached Cecilia, a stinging pain burst on her cheek.

Smack!

“The condition is that you let me slap you a few times so I can vent my frustration!”

With that said, Cecilia slapped Diana again.

Then another one.

Smack!

And a third one.

Yet Diana remained standing, unmoved.

She had anticipated this.

She knew coming to meet Cecilia alone today wouldn’t end well for her. Despite that, she still came.

On one hand, she wanted to dissolve Cecilia and Julian’s engagement. She wanted to give the twins a complete family, and shield them from the influence of her and Julian’s long-term separation and conflicts.

On the other hand, she wanted to take this opportunity to punish herself using Cecilia’s hands.

To punish herself for not being a qualified mother today.

“You’re really out of your mind. You’re not even trying to dodge,” Cecilia said, incredulous at Diana’s action.

After a moment, she seemed to lose interest. “Well, as long as this problem can be resolved, we’ll consider everything between us settled.”

As for whether Cecilia would lead a happy life in the future or not… Would she continue to suffer from her illness, bearing the stigma of mental illness for the rest of her life?

From now on, none of that would be Diana’s concern.

Instead, that might be for the best. It could be considered an unexpected gain.

Diana thought that from now on, she wouldn’t have to dwell on how absurd it was for her to meddle in Cecilia and Julian’s relationship in the first place.

After their agreement, Diana finally let go of the doorknob in her hand and opened the door to walk out.

Julian had been waiting impatiently outside the door for quite a while. If Diana hadn’t come out, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t have knocked down the door.

Yet when Diana came out, he didn’t just want to knock down the door-no, he wanted to turn the entire Jarvis family upside down!

“Your face…”

Julian’s eyes turned red as he stared at the awful marks on Diana’s face. He felt like he did after slapping Diana- wanting to touch, but not daring to. Even taking a closer look filled him with fear.

Inside, he was filled with endless regret. Why had he hesitated? He should have just torn the door down! He shouldn’t have given Diana and Cecilia a chance to be alone!

Diana glanced at Julian; she noticed he had reached for Cecilia, and seemed on the verge of throwing Cecilia right out of the second floor.

Diana hurriedly took his hand and explained, “I did this to myself. It has nothing to do with Ms. Jarvis.”

Cecilia sighed in relief after hearing this.

From Julian’s gaze earlier, it looked like he wanted to tear her to pieces. She had never experienced such a frightening situation. When Julian’s piercing glare locked onto her, she almost burst into tears.

He looked so indifferent, as if he was looking at a dead person. Thankfully, Diana had pulled him back from his extreme state.

Her voice was gentle, firm, and even a bit teasing as she said, “Ms. Jarvis was frightened once when I was hitting myself. And now, you’re frightening her.”

Julian finally let go of his grip on Cecilia’s collar, but he was still furious. “Why would you do this to yourself?”

Diana shook her head.

“You know I did something wrong to Sean. I needed a chance to vent.”

Then, she smiled.

“It’s fine now. Ms. Jarvis and I have reached an agreement. Wait for me in the car. I’m sure I can do something about the engagement.”
