“What’s the matter?” Diana asked. “Before I came here, Vans called Julian, but he did not respond the moment he heard that it was about you.” Nina gritted her teeth at the thought of Julian’s silence over the phone.“Vans asked him if he wanted to come with me to fetch you and see you, but Julian said you didn’t want to have anything to do with him. He even said that it was impossible for the two of you to get married again.” Nina rolled her eyes as she went on, “Does he have a screw loose or something? He was the one who wanted to get married in the past. He was also the one who suddenly asked for a divorce. And now, he’s still the one kicking up a fuss and demanding for a remarriage…”Nina almost couldn’t bring herself to go on. “Now that you’ve finally regained your memories, he’s saying that it’s impossible for the two of you to get married again.”Diana choked as she said, “We fought before I went to the Stewarts’.”She told Nina about what happened. “It feels different to

Even if it’s just a small house, having your own space would make you feel safe and secure. A woman would still have a home to return to, even after fighting with her man.“Go ahead,” Nina said. “I’ll never stop you from pursuing something that is for your benefit and self-love.”She smiled at Diana, then retrieved a jacket from the car and draped it over Diana’s shoulders. She buttoned it up and said, “Just tell me if you need money.”She would do everything to raise enough money for Diana.The jacket felt so warm. It effectively blocked out all the cold of the harsh winter.Diana looked at Nina, who remained the same as before, always wholeheartedly supporting her and being by her side. Her eyes welled up with tears.What did she do to deserve such a good friend?“I’m sorry.” Diana hugged her. “I forgot about you completely in these three years…”Julian wasn’t the only one who felt terrible when she disappeared. Nina, her best friend, must have been worried too.“It’s not yo

When Diana was still amnesiac and was close to Nina, they weren’t as close as they were at this moment. But now, things had changed.Diana remembered everything.Nina couldn't help but feel that she had finally regained some peace of mind in this city.After parting ways with Nina, Diana boarded the subway.Memories came flooding back once again.She had encountered Luke on her way to meet Kayla. And on the way, Oliver had helped her out of a tight spot.Heh.She wondered what he meant this time, when he told her about being with Fanny. She wondered if he said it just to appease her, or if they were genuinely together. If it was the latter, she would definitely have to get them a gift and wish them well.And then there was Luke Pabian...Because of this man, so many things had happened between her and Julian.Those memories seemed to have a will of their own, constantly resurfacing in her mind.It wasn't until Diana thought about Madam Fulcer, Aster, and Star that she couldn

Diana asked softly, "When did Daddy receive the text message, sweetie?"Betty thought for a moment. "When Peppa Pig was on TV."Peppa Pig was Betty's favorite cartoon, but Diana had set specific time limits for Betty’s screen time. Instead of accessing content directly online, Betty patiently waited for the fixed broadcast schedule on TV every day.Diana took out her phone, and confirmed the broadcast time.11:00 AM.It matched the time she sent the text message.That was also the time Julian had received the message.Thinking back...When she was at the villa on the mountainside, she had overheard Layla talking to Julian on the phone. Layla had mentioned that Julian's phone had been ringing constantly, and later, someone had sent him a text message. It was the same day Diana had contacted Mr. Whatever.She tried to recall even further back.Once upon a time, after a heated argument with Julian, his attitude towards her changed significantly. He had suddenly transitioned

Diana felt somewhat relieved, and continued toward the next station for her transfer.Unbeknownst to her, Julian was sitting across from her and observing from a distance. He was afraid of being noticed when she got closer.Diana had appeared uneasy on the subway earlier, constantly looking around. Julian was cautious not to get too close, but he had still arranged for a bodyguard to follow Diana. She had encountered trouble on the subway before. Moreover, what happened with Matt had yet to be completely resolved. Julian couldn't let Diana go without someone watching over her.As for himself, he exited the subway station and got into a black Rolls-Royce. He arrived at the agreed-upon location ahead of Diana.Just like before, he chose a private room with curtains. The cuisine here was light, and a suitable diet for her recuperation. As for the curtains, they would provide a solid barrier between him and Diana, separating the two of them even though they were in the same room. Eac

Diana hadn't actually seen through his true identity. He was convinced he hadn't left any incriminating evidence behind."I guess I had too high hopes for you." Diana sighed when she saw him persisting.She clenched her fists, staring at the figure behind the curtain. Ever since he had proposed divorce, she had become accustomed to giving herself a hundred reasons to believe that Julian loved her. When she saw the plain meal spread before her, she even imagined he cared for her. She thought he was being considerate of her and worrying about her health; that he was afraid she would eat something greasy, or if she hadn't eaten at all. He was expressing his concern in a subtle, consistent manner.In reality...He had hurt her the most.Yet even today, she couldn't let go of her affection for him. It was a fondness akin to ivy, creeping into every part of her body over the years; like a natural part of her life, just as necessary as eating and sleeping.She couldn't help but be att

After all, Julian and Cecilia had an engagement.A man like him, perfect in appearance, intelligence, and physique, should have no trouble making Cecilia fall in love with him again if he wanted to.-The countryside was cold. Albert's house had no central heating. The only way for Cecilia to keep warm was the stove in front of her, which could both cook and provide warmth.Cecilia rubbed her nose, and couldn't control a sneeze. "What's going on?" she muttered to herself. "Is someone insulting me?"Her sneezes seemed to have a life of their own, constantly escaping from her mouth. It made her nose itch terribly, and she felt quite uncomfortable.Albert had already guessed that Cecilia wasn't from an ordinary family. She had been pampered since childhood, and her delicate constitution was evident. He quickly fetched a blanket for her. "Wrap this around you. It's too cold here." Then he asked her, "Why hasn't Mr. Fulcher returned to pick you up?"It had been two to three day
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1074
"Mom..." Cecilia called out awkwardly, quickly swallowing the half-eaten sweet potato in her mouth. Her tone betrayed some guilt. "Why are you here?""Why am I here?!" Sue was displeased. She walked briskly toward Cecilia, patting the latter’s shoulder as she assessed the surroundings. There was a tenderness in her eyes. "You silly girl!" she yelled. That was probably the harshest thing Sue had ever said to Cecilia. "If I hadn't come, would you still remember me?"She took the cotton blanket from Cecilia's hand and returned it to Albert. While the blanket was made of pure cotton, it wasn’t as warm as the lightweight silk blanket Sue brought with her.Throughout the conversation, Sue didn't say anything humiliating and didn't criticize anything. However, the way she regarded everything around her showed her high and mighty attitude. Albert felt somewhat embarrassed. He grew to realize he had been terribly unfair to Diana in the past. What was the difference? Everyone wa

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.

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?”

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
