Chapter 790
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
At the same moment, Diana arrived.
Not a single light was turned on in the villa. Where she stood outside the door, it was dark everywhere she looked.
It was clear there was no one in the villa.
She turned to Noel, who had been following her, with desperation in her eyes, âWhere are they?!â
âTheyâre at the Fulcher Manor,â Noel said helplessly. âIâve told you many times that no oneâs here, but you didnât believe me.â
Diana really didnât believe him. She didnât trust anyone at Julianâs side.
Even Simon. The man wasnât on good terms with Julian, but she didnât trust him as much as she used to anymore.
She needed to find her children. She needed to rely on her own power to bring them back, and never be separated from them again!
âGive me your phone,â Diana said, a chilling look on her face.
The look she gave Noel said that she didnât trust any single one of them devious and cunning people.
Noel had already informed Julian of the situation, so there was no need to disobey Dianaâs orders now.
Due to the incident involving his father, Noel had always felt guilty toward Diana from the bottom of his heart.
So, he obediently handed his phone over.
Diana quickly pulled up the phone menu and dialed Julianâs number.
She wanted to ask where he was now, personally!
She listened to the dial tone for a long time, but no one answered.
Instead, there was a shrill honking sound in the distance.
Then, the carâs high beams shone brightly into Dianaâs eyes.
She could see nothing but white before her, and she covered her eyes without much thought.
By the time her eyes readjusted to the darkness, Julian had already exited the car.
His tall figure approached her, the light shining behind him. Diana recognized him and open the door and peeked inside, but there was no sign of Sean or Betty.
âWhere are the kids?â
âTheyâre asleep.â Julian had come over because he wanted to bring Diana back with him. âIf youâre really that anxious, you can come over with me to check.â
Diana didnât want to.
Julian was the wealthiest man, and Richburgh was his turf.
From the time Julian had taken the children and the only response she had gotten from the police was silence, Diana understood that this man was more powerful than she thought.
If she went with him, there was no telling what would happen to her after.
â I want the kids back,â Diana demanded. âWe have our own home.â
Why would they need to go to Julianâs residence?
âTheyâre at the Fulcher Manor,â Julian replied, trying hard to maintain his patience. He tried to calm Diana down by mentioning the old manor.
There were plenty of fond memories between her and Madam Fulcher there, after all.
Diana had been gone for a long time, so she definitely would want to go back for a visit.
He would give her this chance now.
âI donât care if itâs an old or new manor!â Diana said, biting the bullet. âI want my children back!â
She was about to have a breakdown. âWhy do you insist on making things difficult for me and my babies?!â
âDo you think Iâm making things difficult for you by taking you to the old manor?â
âWhat other reason would there be?â
Julian was an unfamiliar man to her. He was a stranger and could have his pick of children and women because of how rich he was, but he had taken her children, and now, he wanted to take her too.
Was it because she looked like someone who would meddle in someone elseâs relationship?
Julianâs face was filled with disbelief. He never expected that the forgiveness and justification for her actions that he had made up for her were totally worthless to her!
That she could even look at him with such unfamiliarity in her eyes and say that all he had done was with the intention to trouble her!
When had she become such a stranger?
When she saw that he stayed silent, Diana looked sorely tempted to approach him and give him a beating.
However, Julian had taken her children. Even if she was crazy, and even if she didnât care about her life, she didnât dare step on his toes right now.
She had to keep her children safe.
The only person she could hurt here was herself.
