Chapter 628
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Were it not for Kayla Winnington, Grandma wouldnât have died!
It was true that even without the incident, Grandmaâs condition might have been triggered. Even so, she couldâve received the best treatment in the fastest time possible. There wouldnât be a need to drag things out, and she wouldnât leave this world in such pain!
If it werenât for Kayla, Julian wouldnât have been stabbed!
He wouldnât have been forced to walk down that aisle or be threatened by others!
He wouldnât have had to worry about Diana every single day, or miss Grandma so badly in the deep of the night!
In factâ¦
The fact that their babies werenât able to come to this world had something to do with Kayla as well.
He had said it when he was grabbing onto that dagger.
The life he owed her, he would repay it with his life!
But he was lucky to survive the attack, even with the dagger piercing through his chest.
Even though he didnât die, the debt that he owed Kayla for saving his life was completely settled.
This was what he exchanged his blood and Grandmaâs life for!
How could he possibly let Kayla go?!
Yet now, the one who was requesting for him to let Kayla go turned out to be Diana Winnington!
Diana Winnington, whom Grandma doted on and loved so much!
Diana Winnington, whom he was willing to risk his life for!
His voice went hoarse, as if someone had stuffed stones in his throat. He spoke in a deep and heavy tone, as if his throat had inexplicably tightened up, âAnyone can say that, except youâ¦â
He couldnât believe it.
Diana wasnât such an ungrateful and unfeeling woman.
As for Diana, she knew what he meant.
She knew very well that her request was an insult to Grandmaâs love for her.
Grandma had done so much for her, including the shares, which she didnât let Julian find out up till now.
Yet after Grandmaâs passing, she was eagerly asking her grandson to spare the enemy who had indirectly killed her!
âI donât care what you think of me.â Under the twofold pressure of conflicting and sorrowful thoughts swimming in her head, Diana was on the verge of collapse. She bit her lips hard, trying to compose herself.
âBut you must let Kayla go.â
Julian didnât speak for a full minute.
He did not respond to Dianaâs request, either.
A tinge of disappointment flashed past his eyes.
Diana could sense what he was feeling, and dared not look up into his eyes.
âDiana.â After a long silence, she heard Julian sneer, âWho gave you the courage to raise such a rude request? Do you think that because I love you, I will agree to anything you ask for? What does Grandma, who died because of Kayla, count for?â
Julian was angry.
Very, very angry. Furious.
But like what Julian said, Diana had admitted that she was rude and unreasonable.
She didnât have any words to refute him or comfort him and soothe his anger.
She had no right to do that.
She simply repeated herself stubbornly. âLet her go.â
Julianâs eyes were like daggers trying to pierce a hole through her.
However, Diana didnât get upset. She understood that saying such words right after Grandma passed away was akin to her behaving like a raving lunatic.
Butâ¦
She wanted to get her babiesâ ashes.
As for the guilt she would feel toward Grandmaâ¦
She would make it up to the old woman with the fact that she had saved Julian when she was young.
That thought made her continue shamelessly raising that request to Julian.
