Chapter 841
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian grabbed her shoulder, his hot breath scorching against her skin. He snarled, âDiana, how many men do you want before youâre satisfied?â
At this moment, they could hear Simon outside. He was trying to appease the customers.
âIs this man saying that because heâsâ¦jealous? No, thatâs impossible.â Diana quickly shook her head, pushing this absurd thought out of her mind.
Julian despised her. He even said heâd never have any contact with her again.
Their encounter today was because the woman he brought wanted to buy Dianaâs dress. It was how they ended up meeting.
Someone who hated her couldnât possibly be jealous.
Diana couldnât stay with him. Once she did, she would easily overthink things.
With that thought in mind, she pushed Julian harder. She tried to open the door so she could leave.
His warm breath sprayed against her shoulder, making her hot and itchy.
She could only turn her head to the side. She moved her shoulders, trying to alleviate the discomfort.
At the same time, she kept pushing him away. His heavy body continued to press against her.
Julian didnât move, his deep eyes glued on her. He didnât miss any of the subtle changes on her face.
She explained helplessly, âLook, youâre really overthinking. Whether it be Simon or Oliver, we have no romantic relationship. When I said Iâd marry Simon before, it was just a misunderstanding. As for youâ¦â
She took a deep breath. âAfter the paternity test results came out, I decided to stay far away from you.
The further, the better.â
Especially after Nina told her they had once been husband and wife.
The discovery only strengthened Dianaâs determination.
âThe further, the better?â Julianâs voice suddenly grew louder. His mouth was near her ear, and she winced at his volume.
This time, she acted quickly and covered his mouth. She glared at him, hissing, âLower your voice!â
Since he was trapping her, she couldnât escape.
Diana decided to make things clear to him. âJulian Fulcher, Iâm not a tool for you to vent your anger on.
You suddenly dragged me here and treated me badly. Youâre not making any sense!â
Seeing how stubborn she was being, Julian decided to tell it to her straight. âSean already told me.â
Diana got more confused the more she listened. âSean?
What did he tell you?â
Sean had been acting strange today. He called Julian âDaddy â, and had apparently spoken to Julian as well. Didnât she just put him in the room? When did he sneak out to find Julian?
Julian was annoyed with how Diana was always looking confused and pretending not to understand anything.
He smirked sarcastically. âWhat do you think he said to me? Didnât you teach him? He said he switched the DNA samples. He requested me to redo the paternity test.â
How could a toddler of around two years old have such thoughts? And switching DNA samples, too. It was utterly ridiculous!
When Julian heard Seanâs absurd words, he knew it was Dianaâs doing. She wanted to use Sean to get another chance for a new DNA test, so she could manipulate the results.
âIâm genuinely curious,â Julian said, looking at the bewildered Diana. He was deeply impressed by her acting skillsâshe was great at pretending to be innocent.
He leaned closer to her neck, laughing mockingly.
âThree years ago, you left me and started a new life with Simon. You even had children with him. Why did you suddenly come back to Richburgh and claim you have nothing to do with him, when he was the one who betrayed me?â
Did she think heâd believe her just because she said so?
âMaybeâ¦â Julian continued darkly, âAfter Zachary went after you, you thought Simon couldnât help you fight the Winningtons. So, you quickly abandoned him. You wanted me to be the father so you can get payback against that old man, didnât you?â
