Diana wouldn’t feel so uneasy with someone keeping her company.What’s more, if Julian was willing to keep Diana company, Shiloh could ascertain what Julian thought of Diana. That would help Shiloh decide whether Kiki should hold on to her feelings for Julian, or let them go. Diana understood Shiloh’s intentions.It had nothing to do with Kiki.If she and Julian were truly in love, no one could actually be an obstacle.Conversely, if they didn’t love each other enough, their relationship would fall apart even without Kiki in the picture.Diana herself wanted to understand Julian’s thoughts right now.She nodded. “Sure, go ahead and call him.”Diana wanted to see if he would come. She clenched her fists as she waited nervously for Julian to pick up the call.Julian answered the call very quickly.They had just met each other, but hearing Julian’s voice made Diana feel as if they had been apart for a long time. She caught her breath as she heard Shiloh greet Julian. “Mr. Ful

Sean felt terrible, and couldn’t help the tears from welling up in his eyes.He had heard what Julian said over the phone.He didn’t understand why Daddy refused to come, even after hearing that Mommy might be in danger.Was it because Daddy felt that everything was good now that he had taken Betty with him? It was enough for him to have Betty.Was that it?As for Mommy and Sean, they weren’t important to Daddy at all.Something in Sean’s heart broke. He began hating Julian deeply; he hated himself for calling Julian Daddy, and for wanting Julian to become his daddy so badly.If he could turn back time, he would rather Daddy and Mommy never meet each other again.They would still be leading their peaceful and happy lives in Stirling City.Mommy cried less back then.But ever since she met Daddy, she cried more frequently.If Sean kept his word and married Faye, would they be like that after they get married?Faye wouldn’t be as happy with him.No. That wouldn’t be.He w

“You’re infuriating,” Nina said through gritted teeth. “Why are you so stubborn?!”She had lost Diana once three years ago. She didn’t want to lose Diana again after finally reuniting with her three years later.However, Diana was adamant.“That was my past. I must find it back in order to feel complete.”Diana reassured Nina, “Don’t worry, Shiloh is around.”If anything happened, Diana believed Shiloh would do all he could to save her.Very soon, the medicine was done and ready.Diana looked at the black and slightly large pill. “So big?”“Yes. I’ll have to cut it open, and you’ll have to take it in three pieces.” With that, Shiloh broke the pill up. “After taking them, the medicine will start to take effect.”He looked at her solemnly, and added, “You can still change your mind now.”After all, no one could guarantee the outcome.“I’ll wager on this,” Diana said. “It might cause unexpected side effects to my health, but there’s also a possibility nothing bad would happen,

Simon ended up hearing from Kiki that Julian wasn’t with Diana. Something had gone wrong with Julian and Diana’s relationship.Shiloh even called Julian to inform him about the severity of Diana taking the medicine, but Julian refused to accompany Diana. Simon’s heart throbbed in pain upon hearing what Kiki said.He wanted to give up on Diana when she did not send him off today.But now…Why didn’t Julian treasure her when he had her?!Why did he choose to give up on Diana, time and time again, at such a critical time like this?!Three years ago…Although Simon did force Diana to leave Richburgh, it was ultimately still for Julian’s sake that Diana was willing to abandon everything and leave with Simon, with her babies in tow!Fire burned in Simon’s heart. Kiki’s call had undeniably triggered his desire for Diana once more.“Let’s join hands,” he said to Kiki. “This time, I must make Diana completely mine.”This was exactly what Kiki wanted.Chuckling, she said, “To a pl

Three years ago, Diana left Richburgh at a time when he needed her the most…Precisely because of him!To save him!She would rather lose all her memories and leave with Simon with her babies in tow.The pain of pregnancy over 40 weeks, with no one by her side when she gave birth, the challenges and fatigue of raising the children… Diana had to go through all of that alone because of Julian.It was all because of him!He was the culprit behind Diana leaving Richburgh!When she took the pill, she was three months pregnant. She must have felt so helpless.Yet, all he did when she came back was to fight with her.He was inhuman!Julian’s heart ached badly, and he felt suffocated.He clenched his fists and smashed the door uncontrollably, making a loud thud.Was that… Julian?!Diana’s heart leaped to her throat. Hope filled her eyes as she stood up and turned to look at the door.She was hoping to see Julian here. She wanted to tell him in person about what Shiloh just told

Shiloh helped Diana to a chair, and applied acupuncture to try to help stop the pain. “Now that things have come to this point, I know it’s best that I stop interfering in anything from now on. It’s true that I’ve done wrong to you…”“A mere apology does nothing.” Diana said. She could understand why he did it, but it didn’t mean that she would forgive him.Shiloh didn’t expect her to forgive him. He just wanted to get it off his chest and make himself feel better.“So tell me, what can I do?” he said. “In the future, no matter what happens and no matter who it is, you must agree to save the person as long as I ask it of you,” Diana said.Shiloh was very medically skilled.Although Julian knew many skilled doctors who were at his beck and call, including Vans, a medical professional of Shiloh’s stature was not easy to secure.Mainly because he was high in demand.Shiloh’s time was too precious, and he had the final say in deciding whether he could spare time for treatment and

Are you two crying in heaven?Memories continued resurfacing in Diana’s mind.They pierced through the haze in her head, over and over again.She stubbornly hung on, thinking of herself as a sponge, absorbing all the memories that had been locked up for a long time.The next person she remembered was Kayla.Kayla, who had hurt Diana so much. Yet, Julian defended her time and time again!Despite knowing that Kayla eventually went to

Simon came while Diana was lost in her thoughts and memories.He sat in his wheelchair, and draped a scarf around her shoulders. He looked at her with a pained gaze, and asked, “Do you regret it?”“I do.”Simon’s face twitched. It was an expression of relief mixed with joy.Diana had no capacity to figure him out. Whatever it was, she was thankful that he came today.But… Why couldn’t it be Julian?He was the one she wanted to see the most.The man who went through so much with her. The man who could make her fall in love with him again, even after she lost her memories. He clearly knew the pain of not having her around when he needed her the most. Yet, he chose to abandon her and not come looking for her.Diana smiled weakly. She didn’t try to guess what Simon was feeling right now.She was feeling ambivalent about Simon. Naturally, that meant she didn’t care about his feelings.She heard herself reply to him, “I regret not taking this medicine earlier.”Simon’s face chan

“Life is all about reconciliation.” Decades passed in the blink of an eye. Diana’s children had all grown up.Kate and Isaac had both passed away. Even Diana’s old friends, Fanny and Oliver, had left the world too.Fanny was never able to get pregnant again after that rainy night. She had gradually let go of her desire to get pregnant under Oliver’s persuasion.They stayed relentlessly by each other’s side, albeit childless. Over the years, having experienced all that life had to offer and being each other’s best friend, Oliver died on a peaceful night, never awaking again.Fanny held his hand while sending him off, and closed her eyes forever as well.Diana had seen too many people off in her lifetime.She had grown old herself, too. She could see her life slowly ebbing away.“Julian, I’m so happy to have lived my life with you.” She had transformed from a disgraced young woman to Mrs. Fulcher, respected by all in Richburgh. Julian even took care of her in person when she

He blurted those words instinctively.He had been waiting so long for a pair of daughters, yet when the doctor came over, he saw a pair of sons instead.Diana thought the hospital must have made a mistake and kicked up a fuss, insisting that she had a pair of daughters. She insisted for them to check the footage from the surveillance camera to see if there was a mix-up. The culprit, Julian, could only stand guiltily at a corner and mumble, “Actually…sons are fine too.”As long as it was their children, it didn’t matter whether they were girls or boys. Either way, Diana was the only woman he loved his entire life. Even his love for his only daughter Betty didn’t match up to that.After witnessing Diana giving birth, Julian’s love for Diana went up a notch, to the point of paranoia.For the rest of their lives, he made sure to never let her worry or touch cold water.He took great care of her.Kate finally appeared two years after Diana gave birth.When the mother and daughter

Nina mentioned the Jenningses. “The Jennings family is gone overnight, just like that.”Diana wasn’t shocked.She guessed that Julian had wanted to do that for a while. Not just for her and to seek justice for the Lemmington family, but also for Simon.Although Julian never allowed Simon to call him his brother, he had wanted to annihilate everything that was involved with the Hughes family since Simon’s death.Him making his move on the Jenningses indicated that the time had come.“Congratulations,” Diana said to Nina. “Has Vans come back to you?”“No,” Nina said with a shake of her head. “Lina Jennings isn’t the only thing standing in between us. We have problems of our own to overcome.”Diana sighed. “I think Marcus is pretty good.”She felt relaxed and comfortable around him.Even if Vans came round and worked with Julian to bring down the Jenningses, and had no feelings whatsoever for Lina, Diana wasn’t exactly eager to be with him.As if they had telepathy with each oth

“He doesn’t need to be jailed,” Fanny said, confused. “One word from him, and his lawyers will be able to exonerate him. I just don’t understand why he’d rather go to jail.”“He wants to pay for his father’s sins,” Diana said with a sigh.Fanny didn’t know what to think of that. Was Oliver innocent, or not? He even went to such great lengths to stop her.Yet, the moment she declared that she would never compromise and would rather be under the protection of Diana than to be involved with Oliver, he clearly looked like he was in a daze.Diana noticed that Fanny hardly smiled over the past few days, and rubbed her hand comfortingly. “He just wants a clean start with you.”Fanny’s heart shook. She couldn’t sleep the entire night.The next morning, she told Diana, “Today’s the day of his trial and sentencing. I want to see him.”Diana asked Julian to send a few bodyguards with Fanny on her trip there.When she returned, she looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoul

Fanny bet that he wouldn’t dare.That was equivalent to eliminating all chances he stood with Diana.Julian witnessed the scene unfolding before him. Instead of getting frustrated, he stood quietly there, ready to protect Diana, as he watched Fanny and Oliver fight it out with each other.Oliver was confused. “Why not?”He glanced at Diana, and went on, “I did like Diana in the past, but I have since given up on those feelings for her. Fanny Smith, is your heart made of stone? Can’t you tell who the woman I like is after all this time?”Fanny was stunned, feeling suffocated as if something was stuck in her throat. “Don’t tell me it’s me.”Oliver was dumbfounded. Who else could he be talking about? The stars in the sky?Fanny felt indignant under his glare. “If you like me, why did you say that I’m just a child-bearing tool for you?”“If I didn’t say that, would I be able to keep you confined in the villa? Would I be able to dash all your hopes and make you feel hopeless?”
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1548
Oliver would never let her go. “Fanny Smith, don’t even think about leaving me in this life!”That was when Diana and Julian hurriedly made their way.Sean located Oliver very accurately. Diana saw the scene unfolding before her, and couldn’t help but recall everything that happened in Jacroaof. She hurriedly told Noel to take Sean outside and wait. She couldn’t afford to gamble on Sean’s safety. She didn’t want Sean exposed to any form of danger right under her nose.Her actions made Oliver tense. “Diana, do you think I’ve gone mad?” He grabbed Fanny’s hand, as if he was holding onto the most precious treasure in the world.Diana didn’t answer him, but she threw her bag that Julian was helping her carry toward Fanny.She was exerting so much force for a pregnant lady, looking as if she wanted to fight with Fanny.Even Julian didn’t know what Diana was trying to do, not to mention Fanny herself.By the time he snapped back to attention and wanted to stop Diana from doing s

However, Fanny must let go of her hatred and past grudges first.The mention of children made Fanny waver. The hatred in her eyes grew even more intense. “Oliver Channing! The cheek of you to mention children!” What gave him the right to say that?!“We agreed,” Oliver said. He didn’t find anything wrong with that. “Fanny, if you want to leave that villa and be free once more, you must give birth to a child of ours.”“What about the child I lost just a few days ago?” Fanny demanded. She found him unreasonable. “Over the past few days, have you ever thought of him, or felt like you let him down? We haven’t even resolved the issues between us, and you want me to get pregnant again. Are you really ready to be a father?!”“I want you to get pregnant again?” Oliver said as he drew closer to her. His eyes were dark, looking as if he wanted to crush Fanny and put her in his pocket. “Weren’t you the one who tried to seduce me by wearing a revealing dress in my house? Fanny Smith, do

Julian stopped talking to the butler, but he was already making plans in his heart.He returned to the study, and told Diana, “Fanny and Oliver have been fighting for a long time, and it might be over something that might potentially destroy their relationship.”In fact… “Fanny might no longer love Oliver right now.”However, the fact that Oliver faked her death and confined her was enough to show that he still cared for her.If he realized that Fanny no longer loved him, he might do something even crazier.“Let’s hurry up and save her, then!” Diana said.“Wait,” Julian said calmly, “I’m not done with my prediction.”“What?”“Oliver really doesn’t like you now.” Julian’s mood lifted as he arrived at his final conclusion. “We can step in to help Fanny.”Diana was dumbfounded.She had thought that Julian went to such great lengths to analyze the situation for the sake of saving another. To think that his possessiveness took over, and he prioritized figuring out Oliver’s feeli

The three of them entered the study.None of them expected to see a portrait of Diana right in the middle of the study.The portrait was most likely drawn by copying a photo. In the portrait, Diana was eating something with a smile. It looked like the day when Diana encountered a pervert on the train and Oliver stepped in to help her and treated her to a meal.Did she smile so tenderly at him at that time?“You couldn’t have smiled so happily at that time when we were fighting over Kayla.”It was a portrait, not a photo. It was likely that the owner of this portrait added his own interpretation and features when he commissioned this portrait.“He still has feelings for you,” Julian said coldly.He no longer wanted to interfere with the affairs of the Channings.However, Diana disagreed. “If he really had feelings for me, he wouldn’t hang my portrait up so boldly right here.”The fact that Oliver could display the portrait for all to see proved that his feelings for Diana were
