Chapter 969

“I’m not saying you spoke too much,” Julian said tiredly. “I just think I have enough sense to judge the Jarvises’ character, and the condition Cecilia’s in.

“What’s more, Cecilia became like this because we were too careless on the day of Aster and Star’s death anniversary. If you hadn’t taken the liberty of telling her I had prepared a surprise for her, if you hadn’t called her to your studio to try out the gown, if I had been calm…”

“Stop talking!”

Every single word Julian spoke was like a harsh rebuke to Diana.

Just like the car accident that Simon was in today.

It was her fault.

It was all her fault!

“Let me go, please,” Diana said.

She was so tired.

She didn’t want to be blamed for everything, especially by someone she trusted the most right now-

who couldn’t even bother giving her the comfort she needed most.

“I did wrong to Cecilia Jarvis.”

Just like what she did to Simon.

She had done wrong to him, too!

“I did wrong to everyone. Are you happy now?”

Tears welled up in her eyes, telling of the great indignation she was feeling inside.

Julian didn’t understand. “I’m the one at fault for spoiling you all this while!”

He was simply heeding her advice of discussing things with her. He was objectively telling her about what happened to Cecilia; how did it become her doing wrong to everyone?

‘Take some time to think about it.” He stood up with his blanket in hand. “We’ll sleep in separate rooms today.”

Good on him.

He had only moved back to stay together for a grand total of two days.

And now, he wanted them to sleep separately.

Did this man really love her?

Couldn’t he feel that she was on the brink of emotional collapse?

Diana saw his retreating figure, clearly bent on leaving. She sneered, “You, spoiling me? Are you kidding me?”

If he had truly doted on her, he wouldn’t leave her all alone in this bedroom at a time like this! If he had truly doted on her, he wouldn’t be so careless about her mood.

He neglected her feelings the moment he got home, and only bothered to tell her that he wanted to take care of Cecilia.

Go on!

“Leave, and never come back!” she yelled. “No! Don’t even move back into this room!”

Julian’s eyes turned colder upon hearing her words.

He only wanted to bear the responsibility of their careless actions, but Diana was the one who refused to face up to reality. Not only that, but she had become so angry with him.

Julian couldn’t help but feel even angrier. “Fine! I won’t come back!”

Right now, he decided he was going to take care of Cecilia— no matter what Diana felt!

He left, coldly and resolutely.

Diana was once again left all alone in the darkness of the huge room.

She didn’t dare to close her eyes.

The moment she did, the bloody words Cecilia wrote on the second floor of her studio, and Simon saying he would protect her but ended up getting pushed by her into oncoming traffic, would emerge in her mind.

Bam!

The sound of his body landing on the ground was so loud.

RiPPPP!

She could imagine Cecilia tearing the sky blue gown into shreds. It replayed again and again in her mind, like a broken recorder.

Diana buried herself deeper into the sheets.

She covered her ears, wincing in pain.

Tears kept falling from her eyes.

Yet, Julian wasn’t next to her.

The warmest embrace and comfort she looked forward to most expectantly, and desired most desperately, was gone.

There was only coldness and the harsh words he threw at her left in the room.

Diana was wrong.

She shouldn’t have moved back, reconciled with him, and taken him as her emotional pillar of support!
