Chapter 901
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Ifâ¦
If Noel had driven a little fasterâ¦
If Diana had been ruthlessly thrown offâ¦
If she hadnât held on with all her strength, and ended up partially paralyzedâ¦
The consequences were just too terrifying.
Diana shook her head to rid herself of the thoughts. She slowly leaned against the wall as she stepped out of the door.
Julian had already taken precautions beforehand, worried that the twins might see her in this state. He told them that she suffered a minor accident, and just needed some rest to get better.
When she appeared in front of the two children, they seemed somewhat accepting of the situation.
However, the concern was still there.
âMommy, I have a new ambition,â Sean said.
Diana looked at him, surprised. âWhat is it, dear?â
Despite being just a little over two years old, Sean already had many ambitions-like wanting to be a something seemingly unrelated, or a light bulb changer, or a scientist making significant contributions to humanity.
When Diana had a car accident last time, he said he wanted to become a doctor.
This time, it had changed again.
Diana didnât mock his fickleness. Instead, she looked at him with widened eyes and waited patiently for his answer.
Seanâs eyes were resolute. âI want to be Superman. I want to protect you.â
So that his mother wouldnât get hurt anymore.
âOh, my darling child!â Dianaâs heart melted at the boyâs declaration.
âOkay,â she agreed solemnly. She didnât tell him the harsh truth that Superman didnât actually exist in this world.
Even someone as remarkable as Julian had weaknesses and aspects that he couldnât see through.
Like the fact thatâ¦she wasnât lying.
Like with the brain scan results. Even with experts, they still couldnât show that she had lost her memory. In the end, it could only be attributed to her lying.
With todayâs incident, the favorable impression she had of Julian over these days shattered completely.
He didnât believe her.
That was her biggest problem.
Perhaps they had divorced back then because of this reason?
Even though she couldnât remember anything, she had lost interest in learning more about Julian.
With him harboring so much distrust for her, his desire to keep her away from her children, and him repeatedly insulting her that she wasnât fit to be a mother, she wouldnât let any improper thoughts about him arise again.
During dinner that night, a new face appeared at the table. From the sounds of it, Julian had invited this guest to dine with them.
Diana couldnât understand why, but this guest seemed somewhat uneasy around her.
She acknowledged that she was also a guest in this mansion. She didnât want to make anyone uncomfortable, so she didnât put on airs. Instead, she took the initiative to serve him food. âPlease eat.â
Seeing that he didnât eat a lot of vegetables, she changed his plate to include more meat.
Betty followed Dianaâs example, and pushed the soup bowl closer to the guest.
Although she still didnât speak, her increasing response to the outside world was one of the signs that her condition was improving.
Diana was pleased with this development, and didnât forget to praise Betty. âSweetie, thatâs so thoughtful of you!â
When Albert heard this, the sweat on his forehead increased. He couldnât even finish the food before him. Even as he sat down, he felt uneasy-as if the chair was filled with pins and needles.
Diana thought that her appearance-she was covered in injuries-might have made the guest uncomfortable. She made an effort to finish her meal quickly, and then hurried upstairs.
After she disappeared from sight, Albert knelt on the ground before Julian. âMr. Fulcher!â
He deeply regretted what he had done to them.
He had been thoroughly confused, and committed such ridiculous acts. Never did he imagine he could step into CoIlina Villa again in his life. That, and he definitely didnât expect Diana to personally serve him.
Tears welled up in his eyes. He felt ashamed for believing that Dianaâs humble background wasnât worthy of Julianâs status.
âWas the young miss the one who served me the soup?â
