Chapter 910
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âWhat?! I wanted to remarry him? What kind of epic misunderstanding is this?â Diana thought.
On top of it, he agreed?!
âYou agreed, my foot!â she yelled.
She didnât expect him to be so conceited. Even while saying those words, he maintained an air of superiority. Did she ever ask for his permission?
âIâve never thought about getting back together with you,â Diana said, lowering her voice. She didnât want their conversation to be overheard by the children. She simply found his recent behavior strange, and wanted to put a stop to his excessive kindness.
They werenât in that kind of relationship.
Julian was stunned. When she spoke like that yesterday, he thought his sincerity had touched her. She had shyly fled after she asked her question, not even giving him a chance to explain further.
âI donât care,â he said bluntly. Things were already at this point, so he decided to just lay it all out. âIâve been trying to pursue you for the past few days. Did you notice?â
Pursue her? Was he really pursuing her?!
âIn the romantic sense of pursuing between a man and a woman?â Diana asked, wanting to clarify things.
Julian nodded, his dark eyes reflecting her face. There was a deep affectionate look in them, piercing her. It was almost too intense to meet his eyes directly.
This time, he made it clear to Diana. âYes, I want to be a couple with you and then remarry you.â
Hearing his words, disbelief filled Dianaâs eyes.
Julian wanted to say more, but Diana raised her hand instinctively to cover his mouth.
As her fingers brushed against his lips, she lost track of what she wanted to say. All she felt was a tingling sensation on her fingers.
At that moment, a car was approaching. It was the taxi she had just booked.
Diana felt like she had received a last-minute save. Before Julian could react, she had already slipped into the taxi and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She had left Sean, Betty, and Julian holding the flowers behind. The three of them stood still, looking at each other.
Sean blinked and asked, âWhereâs Mommy?â
âMommy ran away.â
âWhy did Mommy run away?â
Julian remained silent, unable to answer.
It seemed like⦠she didnât want his flowers or his presence.
He had misunderstood her last night. All his efforts over these days seemed to be in vain-Diana hadnât been moved by his actions at all.
Fortunately, there was still Betty. She didnât mind the flowers. She gently pointed them, and said, âFlower.â
Seeing Betty still speaking, Julian felt both happy and sad. Happy for the childâs progress, and sad because Diana had rejected him.
He had overthought last nightâs incident. Today, she left without taking the kids.
This clearly showed that she was avoiding him and his words.
Julian stood rooted to the spot, looking at the adorable and innocent children. He feared that Diana might not come back again after this.
He needed to remedy this situation.
He thought for a moment, and quickly texted Diana, [Sorry, my confession was just a practice with you.
I hope you donât mind.]
He truly hoped she wouldnât start avoiding him.
At her studio, Diana sat on a stool and struggled to focus on her work. Even her assistant noticed her distraction, and kept asking if something had happened.
Diana shook her head, and waved her hand absentmindedly.
In her mind, scenes of Julian holding flowers and confessing to her played repeatedly. He said he wanted to be a couple with her, and eventually remarry her.
Diana slapped her cheeks, and looked up to ask her assistant, âItâs still daytime, right?â
