Chapter 1536
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Although Diana paid little attention to entertainment news, she started reading news regarding Fanny out of worry since she heard about what happened to Fanny.
One of the news articles she read mentioned Fannyâs good friend in the entertainment circle, Marcus Jensen. After going around in circles, things have come back to Nina once more.
âThey probably arenât really together,â Diana said, despite not fully knowing what was going on.
She snuck a glance at Julian. She thought about the indignation in Ninaâs tone when they spoke over the phone yesterday.
ââ¦But they might really be together now.â
She wasnât very pleased with Julian because of Vans.
Although it wasnât fair to punish Julian over something that was Vansâs fault, she couldnât help herself.
Her heart ached so badly for Nina, who waited for Vans for so long.
Yet, he kept her waiting so hopelessly. He even refused to let her go, even after getting married. He was a player through and through!
âDonât call Vans. Heâs not worthy of your comfort!â
Julian saw the Dianaâs cold expression, and immediately rejected an incoming call.
âCoincidentally, Vans called me and I rejected it.â
âGood,â Diana said, finally satisfied. âLeave him be! Ignore him.â
âHowâs things over at Oliverâs end?â
âI canât contact him,â Julian said, âHe refuses to take my calls. Perhaps we should just do as you suggested and go to the Channingsâ residence to find them if thereâs no news by one oâclock.â
If Fanny was there, Diana was sure her and Julianâs presence might be of help.
She wanted to know what exactly was going on between them. No matter how big a fight they were having, Oliver shouldnât have confined Fanny and tricked all of them by claiming that Fanny had died.
âTo think so much has happened right after we returned,â Diana lamented as she slumped on the couch.
âThese things already happened a few days ago. We were too occupied with our own affairs to care about theirs,â Julian said, finally finding a chance to point out Dianaâs mistake. âAlso, you shouldnât have brought Betty to Jacroaof all by yourself.â
Diana felt guilty to hear it. She was thinking about what she should say to appease his anger, when he took the initiative to hug her.
âDonât ever leave my sight in the future.â
His voice carried a hint of warning, but it disappeared very soon, replaced by sweet words of confession.
âForget it. I just canât be fierce to you.â
His hand landed on her swollen belly, and she felt its warmth emanating. She burst out laughing.
âCome to think of it, I was quite the bastard in the past.
There were many occasions I could have clarified myself, yet I didnât. I was a really difficult person to deal with, but my love for you has never changed,â
Julian said.
Diana was pregnant, and her memory had been getting worse as of late.
However, she was no fool. Her face changed in an instant.
âAre you trying to speak up for Vans?â
Julian was shocked, and immediately refuted, âNo!â
Diana didnât believe him.
He clung onto her, and kissed her face repeatedly.
âIâm not, Iâm really not! No matter who Nina ends up with and whether she really is taken, Vans is the one at fault! He let Nina down! Completely and utterly!â
Diana nodded in satisfaction.
It was the only response she could manage, as her heart began racing. She even began panting due to Julianâs touch.
Seeing Diana finally giving up on pursuing the matter, Julian stopped fooling around. He was worried about affecting the babies.
âHoney, look to your right.â
Dianaâs arms were still wrapped around his neck. She was too immersed in the moment to even turn her head.
That was when she heard a clear, crisp voice.
âMommy.â
Diana felt as embarrassed as a school girl caught sleeping in class by her teacher. She immediately buried her face in Julianâs chest, and smoothed out her rumpled hair.
âWhy didnât you say earlier that Sean was here?!â Her shy face brought a smile to Julianâs eyes.
