Chapter 609

On the other hand, Diana couldn’t bring herself to feel happy.

If Julian believed that she was more important.Jt meant he probably didn’t have the same obsession with the ashes of their babies as she did.

What if he didn’t agree to let Kayla go, and wasn’t as determined as her to retrieve the ashes? What should she do, then?

In that case, she could only request what she wanted from him without giving him a reason.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to make him feel more at ease first before bringing up the issue of freeing Kayla.

“How’s Grandma?”

Now that Diana had confirmed Julian’s safety, she started to worry about the elderly woman she had left in the abandoned area.

“Noel sent a message saying she’s fine,” Julian said as he moved closer to the edge of the bed and patted the empty space next to him, motioning for Diana to join him. “Come. Let’s rest a while together.”

Diana initially wanted to refuse, but she was also eager for some time alone together with him.

“It’ll be a tight squeeze. There might not be enough space for you.”

Julian shook his head. “It’ll be fine.”

“Does your wound still hurt?” Diana asked as she lay down carefully, wanting to be close to him but not daring to get too close. She hovered in uncertainty as she greedily soaked in the tranquility of this moment.

It had been far too long. They had wasted so much time from their childhood in Yale Village to now.

“Julian…”

Diana’s voice was gentle, and she was sorely tempted to tell him about what had happened in Yale Village. When she recalled what Kayla had told her, however, she held back.

“What’s wrong?” Julian seemed to sense her uneasiness when she hesitated to speak, and realized that something was wrong. “Are you hiding something from me?”

Yes, she was hiding something from him.

Alas, she couldn’t tell him right now.

However, Julian wasn’t a man who could be dismissed so easily.

He tilted his head to the side and leaned closer to her ear, gently biting her earlobe as he whispered, “Tell me.”

Diana refused to speak, so he bit down again.

Feeling a twinge of pain, she snapped, “Enough.”

She moved away slightly and glanced at him with concern in her eyes. “Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet. Lie down properly.

It’ll hurt more if you strain your wounds.”

Julian shook his head, unwilling to listen to her in this situation.

“Tell me what you’re thinking right now.”

He was truly a stubborn man, and he was also very perceptive.

He could sense even the slightest hint that something was off with her.

After thinking for a moment, Diana decided not to mention the incident in Yale Village. Instead, she said, “I was thinking about when you’ll recover. I feel guilty about your injuries.”

Julian quickly hugged her after he heard her words.

“It doesn’t hurt at all. You have nothing to be guilty about.”

He even moved his arm forcefully to demonstrate that he was feeling fine and would recover quickly.

Diana understood his well-meaning intentions and immediately reached out to stop him before he hurt himself even further.

“Okay, okay. I don’t feel guilty anymore. Lie down properly, alright?”

“Alright,” Julian replied, lowering his arm obediently.

Having just undergone surgery, he was indeed weak. The reason he had been talking to Diana all this time was because he didn’t want her to worry about his condition.

Now that he saw she was in much better spirits and there were no signs of her crying over his condition, he finally felt a lot more relieved.

“I need to rest for a bit,” Julian said as he reached out and grabbed her shoulder, holding her as if she were a precious treasure.

He slowly closed his eyes and whispered, “I can finally hold you again, my dear former wife.”

Former wife?

Diana couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the term.

“You’re right,” Diana carefully avoided his wound and gently held his arm. “My dear former husband.”

Who would have thought that even after their divorce, there would still come a day when they embraced and slept together in the same bed?

“At some point,” Julian suddenly said softly. “Let’s go through the process of getting remarried.”

He said the words so smoothly and so matter-of-factly, as casually as discussing the weather.

Diana was stunned for a while before finally processing what he had said.

“Remarried?”

She hadn’t thought about this yet.

Hearing the question, Julian’s drowsiness dissipated immediately. He turned abruptly to look at Diana and asked, “You don’t agree?”
