Chapter 968

Diana was flabbergasted.

For a moment, she thought Julian was pulling her leg. “Gone mad?”

How did Cecilia suddenly go mad?

Diana considered other possibilities.

“Is she lying to you?”

She thought about it, and decided to tell Julian about the bloody words cursing her to die that Cecilia left behind on the second floor of her studio.

The room was pitch-black. She was deep in her thoughts, and didn’t see Julian’s face darken with displeasure.

“Diana!” He said harshly, frustration building in his cold eyes. “I’m here to discuss things with you, not to hear you slander her!”

He could see with his own two eyes whether Cecilia had really gone mad!

If Cecilia was really pretending and just putting up an act, he would’ve been able to tell in one glance.

He wouldn’t have even mentioned it to Diana with such a heavy heart.

“Slander?”

Diana wasn’t slandering Cecilia. She was simply telling him the truth.

“I’m just raising one possibility. I…”

“But this possibility of yours is impossible!” Julian sprung out of her embrace.

It was as if the heartwarming moment of them in each other’s arms just seconds ago was a mere dream.

The cold look on Julian’s face made the indignation and anger in Diana’s heart burn brighter. She clenched her fists, and looked coldly at him.

“Julian, are you really discussing things with me?”

True discussions involve the two of them facing reality, thinking of solutions, and analyzing the situation together.

But what did he do?

Even before she could say anything, he was ready to quarrel with her for the sake of another woman!

She became angry as well. “Go ahead and take care of her if you want to! Why bother being pretentious and saying you want to discuss things with me?”

He wasn’t discussing things with her. He was simply informing her of his decision! If she dared to raise any objections, he would be ready to have a fall-out with her.

She couldn’t afford to bear any further emotional trauma!

Memories of her causing Simon’s accident just today were still fresh in her mind. She was still steeped in fear and regret.

She had been lying in bed for the entire afternoon. She didn’t even have the capacity to contact Shiloh.

She simply laid on her bed with her eyes wide open, not doing anything.

She thought Julian would be able to give her comfort when he returned.

And yet, all he brought with him was shock and coldness!

“Don’t be unreasonable,” Julian said. He didn’t understand her at all.

Diana was always so kind and considerate. Why was she suddenly so unreasonable now?

“I personally witnessed the state Cecilia was in. I said I wanted to discuss things with you only because I care a lot about you.”

How could she accuse him of being pretentious?

That was too hurtful.

“Didn’t you tell me not to be autocratic and dictatorial, and make decisions without seeking your input?”

Julian took a deep breath to bring his temper under control, and not vent his anger on Diana. He was trying his best to communicate with her. However, his words sounded like he was forced to do so.

“Yes, I did tell you that,” Diana said. “I told you we should discuss problems that arise, but you clearly don’t have the intention to discuss things today.”

She looked up at him, her eyes crystal clear, as if they had been cleansed by the rain.

“Would you really not go if I told you not to?” She smiled.” Although I only have memories from the past three months, I think I understand you very well. Even if I don’t agree to it, you’d still go.”

What’s more, she didn’t even disagree with it.

She simply raised another possibility, to see if there was a need to consider whether Cecilia was being genuine or faking her condition.

But now…

“I spoke too much. Just go if you want to.”
