Chapter 784
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Was Diana cursing Julian just because he refused to admit that Simon was his brother?
How unabashedly partial!
Was she acting so unrestrained because he hadnât gotten angry?
Julianâs patience had reached its end. His black eyes were as cold as ice as he gazed at her.
âDiana, answer my question!â
Diana remained silent.
It seems she had decided not to speak.
Julian stared at her. âFeeling guilty?â
Diana didnât understand. âGuilty about what?â
The kind of question he asked didnât even warrant a response from her.
She had no obligation to answer him!
âIf you insist on an answer, then send the two little ones to me now,â Diana said after thinking for a moment.
âThatâs impossible.â
He had already decided. Once he confirmed their identities, he wouldnât let them return to Diana to have any contact with Simon.
âThey wonât go back in the future.â
Upon hearing this, Dianaâs expression instantly changed.
What did Julian mean by that?!
Hadnât he taken the children away just to play, like his assistant had told her?
Initially, she hadnât believed the man. But later, the children looked and sounded fine, so she believed him.
However, Julian was currently implying that he didnât want to give the children back to her anymore. By the time she looked up, Julian had already ended the video call.
She tried calling back, but no one answered.
Julian held the phone. He looked at the unfamiliar number on it, lost in thought.
Three years had passed, and even her number had changed.
If he hadnât taken Bettyâs phone, he wouldnât have known about this.
Diana had truly cut off cleanly from the past!
The thought made Julian even angrier, and he simply turned off the phone. Diana tried various methods on her end, but she couldnât contact the two children anymore.
In that instant, her blood pressure surged and she nearly passed out. Luckily, she still had the strength to deal with this. Immediately, she rushed out of the room like a madwoman.
Noel, at this moment, was still blocking the doorway like a wall.
âDonât worry, the children will be fine,â he tried to persuade her. âJust wait a little bit. Theyâll be back.â
They were all liars! Liars!
She shouldnât have believed him! She shouldnât have given up chasing Julianâs car!
But now, Julian had taken the children, and Noel was still blocking her door.
Diana fell to her knees, kneeling straight down before Noel.
âPlease,â she said through gritted teeth, her eyes bloodshot and frightening, âLet me go find them!â
She couldnât just give up her children. She couldnât possibly stand idly by and do nothing!
On the contrary⦠If her babies needed her, she would risk her life! It was a pledge that had been swirling in her heart like a mantra since the day she gave birth to them.
Noel was frightened, and couldnât bear to see Diana kneeling before him.
Even worse, he couldnât bear her request.
While trying to contact Julian, he pulled Diana. âPlease get up first.â
Alas, Julian didnât have time to answer the phone right now. The two little ones were pestering him at the moment. He didnât even have time to take a sip of water.
Betty and Sean had finished eating, but neither of them had touched the last dessert that had been served. Betty even earnestly lectured Julian about making too much food in the kitchen, and shook her head as she spoke.
âEverything in a plate of food is hard work! Thereâs a lot of effâ¦effoâ¦â
She scratched her head and couldnât help sticking out her tongue, looking at Sean with a mix of embarrassment and anger when she couldnât form the words.
