Chapter 484
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
When Diana returned from her studio, she confided her suspicions to Nina. âI feel like Iâve seen Julian in our neighborhood.â
Nina quickly placed her hand on Dianaâs forehead. âAre you running a fever? Is it high enough that you started to hallucinate about Julian?â
ââ¦Do I look that fragile?â
âAs long as youâre not running a fever, thatâs fine,â Nina said. She withdrew her hand and became serious. âIf you really cant let go of him, thatâs not a weakness. Thatâs just how love works. I wonât make fun of you. If you canât be open and honest with me, then Iâm not doing a good job as your friend.â
After that, Nina went into her bedroom and came out with a blanket. âIâll be staying next door tonight.
Take your time and think about what I said, okay? M Nina was giving Diana some space so she could sort out her feelings.
Upon arriving at Vansâs place, she asked him, âDo you think Diana really loves Julian? Even after everything thatâs happened between them, how could she think she saw Julian in our neighborhood?â
Nina continued, âLast week, she even said she thought she heard Julianâs voice!â
Nina was worried that Diana would be lovesick if this went on.
âDo you think I should take her to the hospital for a check-up?â
âWhat can they check for?â Vans asked, feeling a little guilty as he hurriedly avoided Ninaâs gaze.
âMaybe she just canât let it go for now, so her mindâs filled with those thoughts.â
Meaning, yes, Diana was indeed thinking about Julian.
He completely omitted the fact that Julian was indeed downstairs.
When Nina didnât suspect anything, Vans breathed a sigh of relief.
âDo you think Diana still loves Julian?â
âOf course,â Nina replied, sounding close to tears. âShe cared so much about her two babies. She was even willing to take a hit for Julian back then, but heâ¦â
Always disappointed her.
âI donât want to talk about it anymore,â Nina said, clearly having no interest in this topic. âIf Diana really loves him to the point of hallucinating about him, Iâll get really angry!â
After all, Nina had been there to see how awfully Julian had treated Diana in the past.
Butâ¦
âIf she really loves him, then Iâll support them getting back together.â
Howeverâ¦
âDiana may be having hallucinations, but on the other hand, Julian doesnât seem to care about this at all,â Nina said with a sigh. âAfter all, heâs completely infatuated with Kayla, not Diana.â
If it wasnât for that infatuation, none of these troubles would have happened. Listening to this, Vans wanted nothing more than to reveal Julianâs current situation to Nina. Still, he had already made a mistake in interfering in Julian and Dianaâs affairs once; his meddling didnât turn out too well, and even worsened their relationship. Thus, he didnât dare to say anything rash this time.
Fearing that Nina would pursue the matter with him all night, he quickly leaned over her with a wolfish grin, blocking the light as he said, âLetâs stop thinking about that, okay? Time to turn off the lights!â
Meanwhile, Oliver had made some new progress. Despite not liking Julian, he had to admit Julian was very capable and efficient in his work. It had taken Oliver a long time to find the clues, but the results were so absurd that he couldnât determine Julianâs motives.
He had thought about contacting Julian and asking the man about it face to face; but when he thought about how Diana had canceled their dinner plans in such a hurry, he realized that she may have already known this fact.
But she hadnât told him, even when he had been one of the people involved.
Disappointment ran through Oliver, and his desire to confront Julian faded. However, he knew he had to find the time to tell Diana about how she had saved Julian when they were younger.
Unfortunately, with such a busy schedule at the hospital recently, Oliver decided to pick up more shifts to help his colleagues before freeing up some time to meet Diana.
When the time came, it would also be time to hear Dianaâs answer to his confession.
