Chapter 817
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Nina had come to see the children, not to see Diana.
Diana almost stumbled from the forceful push. Confused, she was about to ask who this strange visitor was, but the visitor said gruffly, âHurry up and take these inside!â
She looked around casually and headed for the bedroom, asking, âWhere are my godson and goddaughter?â
Diana became furious. âHey!â
She quickly grabbed Ninaâs hand to stop the latter from opening the bedroom door. âWho are you? How can you just barge into someoneâs house? Donât you have any manners?!â
Hearing this, Nina burst into laughter. Even as she laughed, she couldnât conceal her anger.
âDiana!â
There was no affection in her tone, unlike how she used to call Dianaâs name. She poked her finger on Dianaâs forehead and continued, âYou pretended to be dead, and now that youâve finally returned to Richburgh, you pretend that your brainâs fried?â
Diana had a vague sense that something wasnât right. She felt her limbs go numb, and she trembled slightly.
She tried to control herself but couldnât.
âWhat do you mean, pretending to be dead? Pretending that my brainâs friedâ¦?â Diana muttered, her voice fading.
She frowned and looked at Nina. âWhatâ¦are you talking about?â
Seeing Dianaâs bewildered expression, Ninaâs smile disappeared. She withdrew her hand from Dianaâs forehead and asked seriously, âDiana, youâ¦really donât know me?â
âI really donât.â Diana shook her head, confused.
Nina reacted quickly. âThatâs impossible. Youâre just embarrassed to acknowledge me because you suddenly left us three years ago, right?â
She decided not to be angry with Diana anymore. She took out two envelopes that obviously had money in them and said, âStop messing around. Hurry and let me see the kids.â
Saying that, she tried to push the door to find the children.
Diana was frustrated. Why are so many people targeting her two babies recently?
Diana couldnât possibly allow a stranger to enter the room to see the children before knowing who it was, especially based on empty words alone.
Feeling awkward and embarrassed, Diana stopped Nina and explained, âIâm sorry. I have amnesia, so Iâ¦I really donât remember who you are.â
Ninaâs eyes widened at the admission. She looked at Diana, puzzled. âAmnesia? What kind of joke are you playing now?â
What a ridiculous excuse!
Like Julian, Nina involuntarily tried to make excuses for Diana. âIf you apologize, I wonât be mad at you.
Youâre saying this because you have your reasons, right?â
This woman⦠Why was she saying the same things Julian had said to her?
He also asked if Diana had her reasons, but she didnât have any.
Diana looked at Nina and poured her a glass of water. âI really donât remember. If you donât mind, maybe you can tell me what you know about my past.â
Seeing Dianaâs serious expression, which didnât seem fake, Ninaâs resentment towards her vanished instantly.
Surprise overrode every other emotion in Ninaâs mind, and her jaw dropped as she stared at Diana.
âYouâre serious? Youâre not lying to me? You really have amnesia?!â
Diana nodded. âYes, I donât remember anything from three years ago.â
âThen why did you pretend to be dead? Why did you leave Julian? Why did you leave Richburgh? Do you really not remember if you betrayed Julian by being with Simon? You donât remember any of these things?!â
There was a ton of information in the barrage of questions that Nina shot at her, and it left Diana dumbfounded and unable to react.
âStop,â she said, halting Ninaâs incessant talking. âI betrayed Julian by being with Simon? What was my relationship with Julian in the past?â
Using the term âbetrayalâ was a serious accusation.
Nina choked at Dianaâs question. âYou were married to each other.â
How could she forget Julian too?
âMarried?â
Diana stared at Nina in disbelief, unable to breathe.
