Chapter 965

“I know I did wrong.

He had come here today to apologize. However, he didn’t expect the issue to impact Cecilia so severely. It was even more severe than how Diana had described it to him.

Julian truly felt regretful.

“I know there’s no point in my apology right now. Can you let me in and see her first?”

He could only decide on how to help her upon confirming her condition.

“Watch out for the diamonds at your feet,” Sue reminded. Those were Cecilia’s darlings. She separated the diamonds one by one-just like how her heart had broken into pieces, one by one.

Sue couldn’t hold back her tears, which fell down her cheeks. She gently wiped them away.

“Cecilia treasures these diamonds very much. She said they make up the path that will lead you to her.

No one’s allowed to touch them.”

Julian felt even more awful when he heard what Sue said. An action of his, so minor, turned out to have such a major impact on a lady.

He nodded, and avoided stepping on the pink diamonds. Then, he opened the door gently.

The windows were shut tight, and the room was pitch black. He raised his hand, and switched on the lights in the room. The moment the room was lit, he was able to see its layout. It was very pink and very girly. There were all sorts of dolls placed everywhere.

It was obvious that Cecilia adored these dolls, and was clearly still a little girl at heart. More importantly, it was clear to Julian that she was greatly doted on by her family.

She clearly led a sheltered life.

It wasn’t difficult for Julian to understand why she was so hurt from this incident.

He also noticed that there were no mirrors in the room. Not even one.

“Ever since she came back that day, she refused to have mirrors in the room,” Sue explained.

Cecilia thought Julian was unwilling to see her because she looked too ugly; that her ugliness prompted him to splash paint at her.

Part of the reason why Diana’s ploy succeeded was because Cecelia didn’t look that great in the first place.

Diana, on the other hand, was so d*mn beautiful.

“Vixen!” Cecilia suddenly yelled.

Sue’s expression turned awkward. “She’d always suddenly scream that word out loud every day.”

The next thing that would follow was, “Julian doesn’t like me.”

That was precisely the reason Sue had no other choice but to think of how to call Julian over, and find out what was going on.

Now that Julian had appeared before Cecilia, she didn’t seem to have any response.

It was only until Julian spoke did Cecilia stop.

“Cecilia,” Julian asked, “are you alright?”

Cecilia’s whole body stiffened, as if someone had pressed an acupuncture point on her body. She suddenly pulled the sheets over herself, and hid under them.

But at that moment, Julian saw it clearly.

Cecilia now looked like a bag of bones.

Slowly, she poked a hand out from the sheets and waved it at them. “Mommy, I’m not prepared. Let Julian out of the room first.”

With that, she stood up and walked to her closet.

Along the way, she mumbled under her breath, “Where’s my sky blue gown? That dress makes me look just like a princess. Julian’s my Prince Charming.”

Playing princess and prince charming was a game of pretend she loved when she was a child. Now that she had a man she loved, she envisioned herself in that dream of her childhood.

But the thing was, she was already so old…

More importantly, the sky blue gown she spoke of had been torn into shreds by herself.

Diana had already described the situation to Julian before he came.

Julian’s eyes turned solemn.

Sue took a deep breath, and said something that she hated to admit.

“You didn’t think wrongly. My Cecilia…” Her heart aching and burning in her chest, she continued hoarsely through her tears, “She…she’s gone mad.”
