Chapter 754

Without hesitation, Simon replied firmly, “I want to.

He had been thinking about it for quite a while now. In the past, he had thought about how satisfying it would be to take away the woman Julian loved. It would be great to strip Diana of her memories, make Julian lose his love forever, and sever the connection between the couple permanently.

Even later on, while holding the children in his arms, he had thought about taking everything that belonged to Julian. He would make Julian experience the taste of betrayal and ensure that the children, like Simon, would never be reunited with their family.

That would be even better!

But then, at some point, everything started to change. He began to hope Diana would never succeed in losing weight and that she would never be found by Julian, who had nearly turned the entire country upside down searching for her.

Even more so, he hoped that Julian’s children would call him “Daddy.”

He truly hoped Diana could become his wife.

It had nothing to do with revenge-it was his most sincere wish.

If he agreed to this non-proposal proposal of hers now, everything could become a reality.

“Don’t lie to me just because you’re afraid of hurting my feelings,” Diana said.

Diana knew she and Simon were worlds apart when it came to status and wealth. Why would he want to marry her?

People tended to say a lot of things, but she wouldn’t take everything seriously.

“You have the right to refuse,” Diana said.

After all, her initial intention of marrying him wasn’t based on love but on obtaining a proper household registration. Her current household registration wasn’t genuine, and the educational conditions in this remote border town weren’t good.

She didn’t want her two adorable children to receive education here.

Simon replied without missing a beat, “I wouldn’t refuse.”

Why would he ever refuse? It was such a good opportunity!

Regardless of Diana’s original intention, as long as the result satisfied him, it was enough. After all, he was someone who would do whatever it took to get what he wanted.

“Good,” Diana said, not bothering to mince her words any further.

She recalled that she had asked Simon once when she was drunk why he was helping her so much.

Was it because he had feelings for her?

Simon had laughed so sarcastically that it still rang in her ears. It had even brought tears to his eyes.

“Of course not! I just like children because I can’t have my own.”

Then, Diana asked him why he couldn’t have children.

He simply replied, “I don’t like women.”

That one sentence completely reassured Diana.

Marrying him now would be like a marriage of convenience.

As if trying to coverup something, Simon added, “Besides, my family is already pressuring me to get married.”

So, did that mean they were coincidentally doing each other a big favor?

Diana felt even more relieved in her heart. Privately, though, whenever the topic of marriage came up, she would get a stifling feeling in her chest.

To prevent Simon from worrying, she forcefully shoved this discomfort away and asked, “There’s something I want to discuss with you. Will you agree to a request of mine?”

Again, Simon replied without hesitation, “Sure.”

“Great!” Diana said. “I want us to go to Richburgh.”

Her clothing brand might not earn a lot of money, but living in Richburgh shouldn’t be a problem even with two children to support. She lived frugally all this time to provide her children with the best educational conditions.

And now, it was time.

“Good environment and proper nurturing are important for the development of the children,” Diana explained with a smile to Simon, who was still in shock. “Do you think it’s possible?”

He understood Diana. Once she made up her mind, she wouldn’t change it. Talking to him now wasn’t a negotiation, but rather the final test before marrying him. If he disagreed, she would keep looking for another man until someone was willing to move to Richburgh with her.

Would what was supposed to happen…ultimately be unstoppable?

Would she and Julian meet again?

No… It probably wouldn’t happen.

Simon studied Diana from head to toe. She had gained about fifty or sixty pounds compared to before.

Although her features were still delicate, she was indeed far from the breathtaking beauty she used to be.
