Chapter 819
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian grabbed the phone from Vans and said, âDo you think Iâm stupid, Nina?â
âIf Diana had lost her memory, I wouldâve noticed something. But she was behaving completely normally!â Julian thought before returning his attention to the call.
âI know you were good friends with her, but Diana betrayed us.â
She didnât actively contact anyone three years ago, or three years later.
Including Nina.
âDonât trust her too much.â Julian looked at the pile of empty bottles on the table and repeated in a whisper, âDonât trust her.â
âSheâs a liar! A terrible liar who deceived my feelings!â
âSheâs saying all this because sheâs upset with the test results. Since I left, she made up a new lie.
Butâ¦!â Julian emphasized each word, banging on the table as he did so.â But Iâ¦!â
Til never go back!â
âNo matter what tricks she plays, I wonât change my mind!â
Then, he hung up.
Nina was even more confused after the call. She admitted that Julianâs words made sense, but Diana didnât seem like she was lying.
Plus, it seemed that only memory loss could explain Dianaâs silent coming and going.
Otherwise, how could Diana bear to do what she had done? How could she have contacted no one, disappearing quietly and then returning just as quietly?
Nina wasnât happy with how the previous call ended, so she called Vans again. âYou and Julian are drinking, right?â
She didnât bother to wait for a reply, and snorted, âIâve said everything I need to say. Whether you believe it or not, I trust my best friend!â
She decided to take these clothes and go to Dianaâs place again. She was determined to clarify everything!
After Nina left, Dianaâs mind was a mess.
She didnât even hear the two children coming out of the bedroom and calling for her.
Sean was worried. He and Betty had just taken a nap in the bedroom, and when they came out, their mother seemed absent-minded.
He held Dianaâs hand and asked, âMommy, what are you thinking about?â
Diana suddenly returned to her senses. She pushed away all her doubts and smiled at the two precious ones. âNothing. Mommy was thinking about how to find a nanny for you two.â
She hadnât taken her antibiotics yet. The day would be almost over if she didnât do it soon.
âYou still havenât found the right one?â Sean then volunteered, âMommy, trust me. I can take care of myself and my sister.â
Just as he finished speaking, another unfamiliar voice interrupted. âYouâre still a child. How can you take care of others?â
Diana looked up, and realized she hadnât properly closed the door after Nina left.
And now⦠Another stranger had come in.
But this time, it was an old man.
He had white hair and walked with a cane, and looked quite ancient. But his clothes were undoubtedly expensive, and Diana was very observant when it came to fabrics.
With just one glance, she knew he was wealthy.
It was strange.
She had just returned to Richburgh-how could she attract so many wealthy people?
Was what that Nina woman said earlier true? No, that couldnât be possible.â
She couldnât believe that Simon would deceive her.
Even if he had done so before, he wouldnât continue to deceive her after she returned to Richburgh and met Julian.
Otherwise, why didnât he do everything possible to stop her from returning to Richburgh?
âWhatâs wrong?â the old man asked. Seeing Diana remain silent for so long, he asked again, âDonât you recognize me? Diana, Iâm your grandfather.â
