Chapter 934
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
As long as she was happy, wearing this dress didnât seem to be such a torture.
Diana returned his warm gaze, her heart trembling.
Filled with disbelief, she asked, âAm I smiling?â
Julian ignored her question and asked her back, âAm I blind?â
Diana fell silent. This man was truly annoying. Couldnât he give her the chance to play dumb?
âYouâre not blind,â Diana replied. âIâm the blind one.â
He had repeatedly hurt her; and yet, the moment he explained everything and treated her slightly better than the usual, she would be drawn closer to him. He seemed to have something that instinctively attracted her.
Julian didnât understand what she meant. He was still immersed in his own thoughts, wondering how to apologize to her and earn her forgiveness. He was clueless to the intricacies of a womanâs mind, and that her anger had already been appeased.
She pulled out a chair and signaled for him to take a seat.â Tell me more about me being hypnotized.â
After that, she headed to the kitchen to prepare a simple bowl of noodles. When she served him the noodles, Julian was almost moved to tears.
âDianaâ¦â
He treated her so terribly. Why was she being so nice to him?
Before he realized he was hungry, she had already cooked for him.
âI heard your stomach growling just now,â she said.
He was busy unwrapping the chocolate for her the moment he stepped in. He didnât notice that he himself needed to eat.
Diana would always succumb to such actions, and this was one of the reasons Julian loved her.
Right now, all she wanted to do was to regain her memories.
She wanted to regain all her memories, so she could understand for herself why they divorced and whether he was worthy of reconciling with.
Julian slurped a few mouthfuls, and said enthusiastically, â Your noodles are the best! The oatmeal and noodles you make arenât expensive or imported, but they taste amazing.â
Each time he savored her cooking, the taste would always linger in his mind.
Diana couldnât be moved by his praise-not when he was in that dress. The only thing she wanted to do was to laugh.
Even so, she was afraid of upsetting him. He might be unwilling to keep on wearing the dress. She really had no other clothes for him.
Although Julian was starving, he didnât forget his table manners. He picked up his fork elegantly, twirled the noodles, and brought it to his mouth. His sophisticated ways made the simple noodles look more extraordinary than they were.
Even the house looked more glorious than it really was, simply because of his presence. His presence brightened everywhere he went.
By the time Julian was finally done, he wiped his mouth clean with a napkin and cleared the table.
Then, he told Diana everything he heard from Kiki over the past two days.
Listening to him, realization finally dawned on Diana.
âSo the priority right now is to find an excellent hypnotist who can release my locked-up memories.
That way, Iâll be able to regain my memories.â
âThatâs right,â Julian said, âIâve already tasked Noel to do that.â
Diana looked at him, clearly not expecting him to do things so cleanly and swiftly.
Admiration flashed in her eyes. However, it soon disappeared without a trace.
âIâve called Noel to fetch you,â she said. âYou can take Betty with you. She keeps asking for you. She wanted you to take her to the villa last night, but you didnât answer my calls.â
At Dianaâs mention of her calls, Julian broke out in a cold sweat. He didnât answer her on purpose in front of Kiki.
It was true he missed her call, but he didnât expect her to call so he could take Betty home. Since it concerned his darling daughter, he felt deeply guilty.
âWhy is Noel coming to fetch me? Why arenât you and Sean coming with us?â
He hadnât seen Sean at all today. He wanted to apologize to his son in person.
