Chapter 1177

He smiled bitterly. “If we die in the hands of the Jennings family, that heartless daughter of ours would finally come back and see us!”

She wasn’t heartless!

She was just…

Dead.

She would never come back again.

She would never be able to see her parents.

Diana never experienced what it was like to have a family when she was young, and would always be emotional when it came to situations like this.

When she heard Ian’s words, she almost blurted out the truth to him. She didn’t want him feeling so dejected and hopeless.

Thankfully, she was still rational enough. Compared to feeling dejected and hopeless, remaining alive was still more important.

Diana’s hand, which was still on Winnie, trembled a little as she pushed down her tears. She looked at the old couple and asked, “What exactly is going on?”

She looked at their family portrait, and went on, “How did Ms. Lemmington get involved with Enzo Jennings?”

Winnie sighed, and shook her head.

Ian had to hand her a napkin to wipe her tears before explaining to Diana and Julian about what happened between their daughter and Enzo Jennings.

“I didn’t expect Ms. Lemmington to love Enzo Jennings so deeply,” Diana said, clearly shocked by the story.

Lovers abound in this world. Alas, not every couple ended well.

Julian caressed Diana’s head. “Don’t think about it. Let’s eat first.”

They returned to CoIlina Villa after finally settling the old couple down.

Unfortunately, Diana wasn’t in the mood to eat after what happened earlier.

There was a lingering thought in her mind after hearing about Anna Lemmington, as if she had missed some important information. Despite that, nothing came to mind even after a long time had passed.

“Julian.”

Diana had two bites, and then let the twins play by themselves. She clung onto Julian, refusing to let him go back to work.

They were so close now, they hardly spent time apart.

Diana would always feel empty when she didn’t see Julian for a long time. When they were together, her desire to be close to him all the time flared even more.

Now that the twins were by themselves, she took the chance to sit in his lap.

It was cold outside, but the house was warm.

Diana was wearing silk pajamas in champagne color. The pajamas were thin, silky, and fitted her well. It accentuated her figure perfectly.

‘You want it?” Julian asked.

Diana was still thinking about what was wrong between Anna and Enzo. “What are you talking about?”

And yet…

He looked so handsome.

Up close, his dark eyes and red lips looked so mesmerizing.

Diana regretted her words instantly, and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Honey, I realize that you understand me more than I do myself…”

Intrigue flashed past Julian’s eyes. He pushed Diana away gently, not letting her come too close.

Diana was rejected.

That only made her more bold. Not just her hands, but even her legs started getting into action. She used both her legs to cling to Julian, just like a snake.

“After we got married…”

She leaned her head against his shoulders, and smiled brightly as she heard him pant harder.

“Honey, do you remember what you called me back then?”

Julian’s voice was on fire, yet it still sounded crystal clear when he spoke. Diana couldn’t get enough of it.
