Chapter 580
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian had edited himself into the video.
And he even pressed his face against Dianaâs in it.
Furthermore, he even said he wanted to hug herâ¦
Diana couldnât believe that Julian had spoken such silly behavior and words!
But⦠Madam Fulcher would never deceive her.
âJulianâ¦â
After knowing all these things, an indescribable feeling surged Dianaâs heart, the feeling akin to biting into a bittersweet fruit. With just a little force, an infinite and indescribable taste burst between her teeth.
Madam Fulcher felt sore from being tied up; although she wanted to move, she couldnât. Despite her physical discomfort, she continued to look kindly at Diana and said, âTell me whatâs on your mind.â
âDid he reallyâ¦â Diana began to say, but she swallowed harshly before finally continuing, âDid he reallyâ¦like me and not treat me as a substitute?â
Seeing her lack of confidence, Madam Fulcher chuckled. âDiana, my clever girl. Canât you truly see whatâs in Julianâs heart?â
The foolish things he did for Diana behind the scenes, not to mention his verbal confessions⦠Just by looking at their everyday interactions over the past three years of their marriage, one could see that Julianâs feelings for Diana were extraordinary.
However, Kaylaâs appearance muddled their true feelings for one another.
Thinking of that wretched woman, Madam Fulcher couldnât help but sigh.â If Kayla hadnât saved Julianâs life beforeâ¦â
This matter had become a terrible heartache for Madam Fulcher.
âIf the debt of gratitude wasnât tying them down so strongly, Julian definitely wouldnât have been so blindly infatuated with her for so many years,â Madam Fulcher said, glancing at Diana. âI say infatuated, but I donât think a romantic connection ever existed.â
Otherwise, Madam Fulcher wouldnât have been foolish enough to deceive the person Julian loved deeply and send that woman away to another country three years ago. She wouldnât watch her beloved grandson and lover be separated by a great distance.
âJulian isnât someone whoâs good at handling emotions,â Madam Fulcher went on with a sigh. âItâs also due to how we brought him up, especially my late husband. He was afraid Julian and I wouldnât live a good life, so he pushed for an elite education with all his might, resulting in Julianâs characterâ¦which is lacking a bit in matters of the heart.â
Madam Fulcherâs words were sincere.
When it all came down to it, the only thing she wanted to convey to Diana was that Julian loved Diana.
He loved her far more than she could imagine in the years she was unaware of-it was never just her wishful thinking.
Madam Fulcherâs words brought immense comfort to Diana.
However, Madam Fulcher wasnât Julian himself. Perhaps he loved her, but the fact remained that he had done too many things to hurt her.
Dianaâs lips paled a little as she recalled all that had happened in the past.
She couldnât be certain whether she should believe Madam Fulcherâs words about Julianâs feelings for her.
But nowâ¦
Madam Fulcherâs expression suddenly grew serious. âDiana, I know that itâs difficult for you to believe Julianâs feelings for you in such a short time, but do you believe in my feelings for you?â
âOf course!â
Madam Fulcher had treated her much better than her own parents. She was the only relative that Diana acknowledged in this world so far.
âThen work with me in this act.â
Diana was taken aback and looked at their current situation. âHere?â
âYes, here.â Madam Fulcher smiled and tightened her grip on Dianaâs hand.â Do you remember the shares I transferred to you before?â
Diana nodded. She definitely remembered the substantial amount of money the older woman had practically bullied her into accepting âYou have to remember that those shares can be disposed of at any time if you have a need for them.â
âWhy are you bringing this up now when everythingâs fine?â
In such a tense situation, Madam Fulcher speaking to Diana like this gave Diana a sense of preparing for whatâs to come. She was inexplicably anxious.
Once again, she instinctively tightened her grip on Madam Fulcherâs hand.
