Chapter 663
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
With this thought, Simonâs previous actions seemed less significant. However, he certainly couldnât be considered a good person.
For now, Diana had no way to escape his grasp.
âIâm turning twenty-two soon,â she suddenly blurted out, hoping to reduce her fear of him in this way.
âAs long as you donât touch me, Iâll go along with you.â
She simply couldnât accept any man aside from Julian touching her. That awful feeling was like getting bitten by ants; it wasnât deadly, but her whole body tingled with disgust. The sensation gave her goosebumps, and she felt as if her skin was being peeled off.
âWhen?â Simon asked.
âHuh?â
Diana had already gotten into Simonâs car and was putting some distance between them; that made her a bit more relieved. And with that, she was less afraid of Simon.
âYour birthday.â Simonâs hand was still on his nose, and he was looking absentmindedly at her. âWhen is it?â
Diana paused; she had no idea what this man was up to now. There hadnât been a single pleasant encounter with him, and she didnât want him to spoil her birthday too.
âItâs still a long way off.â Diana sounded depressed. The next moment, she became more cheerful, admiration and anticipation glazing her eyes as she added happily, âBut Julianâs birthday is coming up.â
In the same instance, she recalled his tired appearance from last night. Her heart ached again. âYouâve ruined my good luck charms.â
Her voice was low, and there was a sudden sting in her nose when she saw the torn lucky charms.
She missed him.
She missed Julian.
Tears rolled down her cheeks and onto the paper, causing the characters to smudge and the items to wrinkle.
Simon furrowed his brows and snatched the lucky charm from her by force. âItâs just a lucky charm! Big deal! Iâll just have someone buy you a thousand of them!â
His words sounded generous, but due to his excessive force, he had torn the lucky charm Diana had picked out with great care in half.
At that, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
The uneasiness in her heart grew. Like an enraged tiger, she shouted angrily at Simon, âI donât want you to buy me a thousand of them! Youâve ruined my and Julianâs luck! You owe me and Julian our luck!â
Only then did Simon realize just how much she cared about the special significance of the lucky charms during the new year, and that she cared a great deal more about Julian.
Anger surged within Simon. Frustrated, he yelled, âStop the car!â
He mustered his strength and crumpled the lucky charm into a ball, and threw it out of the window.
âScrew your luck!â
Diana was struck speechless.
How could she forget?
Simon was the most unpredictable person in this world.
And yet, she had actually cried in front of him.
That wasnât the way to protect herself!
She had to find a way to ensure her safety before Julian returned.
She contemplated her options for a while. Facing the manâs sinister gaze, she began, âYouâ¦â
Simon raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to say something that would make him angrier so he could throw her out of the car window too.
âWhat?!â
âYouâ¦â Diana swallowed harshly and continued, âYou shouldnât throw litter out of the car window.â
Considering the long hesitation in her words, he never expected her to say that.
