Chapter 1350
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana had never seen Nina like this before.
Her heart felt constricted, as if there was a heavy stone on her chest. The feeling was so suffocating that she couldnât speak for a while.
She just stared blankly at Nina.
The words were at the tip of her tongue. If she hadnât said them, even Nina wouldnât know how to bring this conversation to a close.
She was afraid Diana would keep harping on her and Vans, so she had to steel herself and continue to watch Diana coldly, forcing herself to say those words.
âBefore, Julianâ¦â she paused, raised an eyebrow at Diana, and continued, âDidnât he treat you as a stand-in?
Essentially, Julian was just as scummy as Vans.
Dianaâs own marriage wasnât that smooth. Her love went through many hardships before reaching todayâs harvest.
Nina didnât think there was any difference between her and Vans and the past Diana and Julian. She couldnât tolerate Diana constantly picking at Vans and calling her a mistress.
It was a stain on her and Vansâ relationship, a stab of a knife into Ninaâs heart.
At the same time, the curiosity and anticipation on Dianaâs face all crumbled.
Even shock flashed for a moment. What followed was an extreme heartbreak.
She was sorrowful not because Nina mentioned her past role as a substitute in Julianâs heart, and not because of Ninaâs expression when she said those words.
It was becauseâ¦

Nina had actually used the thing that had affected Diana the most in her life to cause Diana pain.

Diana almost couldnât speak. Her voice was hoarse.
âYouâ¦â
She couldnât bring herself to utter words of reproach.
However, she also couldnât pretend that nothing had happened at that moment and to continue talking to her normally.
âYou should leave.â
She led Nina downstairs, instructing Julian to escort her back.
Seeing that the mood between the two friends wasnât quite right, Julian tactfully agreed and called for a driver.
However, Diana insisted that Julian personally send Nina home. Having had her heart practically torn open by Nina, Diana didnât even want to see Julian.
So, she told him to go.
It would also provide Diana with a bit of quiet space.
Nina got into the car, and Julian wanted to ask her what had happened.
However, Nina remained silent. She started crying as soon as she left the villa.
Throughout the journey, she repeatedly asked Julian to apologize to Diana.
This made Julian even more uncomfortable. As soon as he dropped Nina off, he hurried back to Diana.
Diana had closed the door.
Standing outside the bedroom, he could faintly hear her muffled sobs. He was anxious, eager to know what had happened between Diana and Nina. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the crying inside abruptly stopped.
âIâm tired,â Diana told him, âlet me rest alone.â
Since hearing Nina mention the stand-in, Dianaâs painful memories seemed to be dragged up continuously against her will.
Yes, their current happiness with Julian didnât mean they had always been happy in the past. They had experienced divorce, and moments when they wished the other dead.
Diana understood she had no reason to judge Ninaâs emotional state.
She had done something wrong.
It seemed she had crossed a boundary.
