He thought he must have been seeing things, but after checking and double-checking, it really was a text from Cecilia—his blind date earlier!The thought of Cecilia’s perfect figure and innocent yet sensuous features excited Larry.If he could really bring Cecilia home, Lulu would be nothing to him! His parents would completely forget about her.He would keep their daughter-in-law by their side and in the Webb family forever!In fact…Larry looked at the washroom behind him.When the time came…To keep Cecilia by his side forever, he would smash her head against the wall of the washroom. The bright red blood trickling down her beautiful face would make it even more stunning.

Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1418
The sky had turned dark by the time Noel was done with work.He stood up, feeling his shoulders all stiff from sitting down and focusing on work over a long time.The coffee on the table had turned cold. That was when he realized he didn’t even drink a sip of it.His lips were dry and chapped, desperate for something to drink. He raised his hand, and called politely for a waiter, “Hello, I need more coffee please.”The waiter was very busy, and didn’t have the time to come by.Just then, Ginny came down from the second floor and spotted Noel immediately.He looked outstanding and was dressed in a suit, completely unlike an insurance agent. In fact, he looked more like a business elite.He was the blind date of that beautiful young lady from just now.Ginny remembered that good-looking couple very clearly. Out of the blind dates today, they looked the most outstanding.By the time Ginny was done with her tasks, Cecilia had left. She therefore didn’t see Cecilia leaving with Lar
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1419
Although they did have a good chat, Cecilia was all that occupied Noel’s heart. He didn’t have any intention to start on a new relationship.All he needed to do was carry out what Diana wanted him to do.He didn’t say much, neither did he have the intention of continuing to chat with Ginny. “I’m sorry, I came down to work before the blinds lifted.”So that was what happened!No wonder they didn’t see each other! They really didn’t!That lady who fancied him must have been heartbroken.The usually cold Ginny transformed into a super gossip monger. “I see!”She decided to help them out. She tapped on her tablet and showed him their group photo just now. “It’s this lady. How does she look? If you like her, I can give you her contact number!”She was already trying her best to imitate the cute tone that normal girls spoke in, lest others found that she was a heartless murderer.However, Noel didn’t want to respond to Ginny. He rubbed his nose in slight disdain, and looked away

Ginny nodded. “Yes.”Noel was flabbergasted.How did this happen? Did Diana arrange for him to have a blind date with Cecilia?Noel felt light-headed, but he was sure Diana couldn’t possibly do something like this. Even if she wanted to use this method to make him and Cecilia open up and resolve the misunderstanding between them, Cecilia wouldn’t agree to it.“Are the blind dates matched based on the customers’ original preferences, or based on your random matching after the participants register for it?”Ginny said, “It’s based on the customers’ original preferences, but…”She pushed her glasses up her nose bridge, and went on, “Due to my boss’s mistake, this time round, some blind dates didn’t make it in time. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the list of absentees as my boss was drunk. Because of that…”“You arranged some couples at random?”Ginny nodded, then shook her head. “Some were arranged at random, but we had no choice. Also…”Ginny recalled the words of her unreliable
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1421
But Cecilia Jarvis…Ginny looked hard at the photo; the more she stared at it, the more she sensed that something was wrong. There was clearly someone seated opposite Cecilia!But this fatty…Ginny had a relatively good memory. She would never forget anyone she saw.She tried hard to recall, and then remembered that this fatty was originally seated diagonally opposite Cecilia.How did he end up in Noel’s seat?The natural and relaxed manner that he and Cecilia behaved with each other made it seem like they were the ones matched on the blind date.That didn’t make sense. Something smelled fishy.To get to the bottom of the matter, Ginny studied the footage of the surveillance camera on the second floor. The moment she did, she was furious.That damn fatty! How could he pretend to be Noel, who was Cecilia’s actual blind date?Ginny was frustrated. After all that, the couple she was secretly rooting for didn’t end up together because someone intercepted them. Almost immediatel
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1422
Noel was about to say that that might not be so, but then he recalled that Julian never did anything meaningless. So, he silenced himself.“All right, I’ll make the necessary arrangements,” he said. “What about Cecilia?”“What?”“Diana registered your name for the blind date, but you two ended up getting matched. Someone’s now appearing before Cecilia in your place. Aren’t you going to find her?”Noel shook his head. “No need.”Had he known that Cecilia was seated opposite him, he wouldn’t have chatted with her for so long.Had Cecilia known that he was seated opposite her, she wouldn’t have chatted with him for so long, either!Julian saw the determination in Noel’s eyes, and didn’t persuade him further.This was his privacy. He should have the right to decide for himself.Diana could help arrange a blind date for him, but she couldn’t dictate the outcome of the blind date.Despite that, Julian really wanted to share about what happened with Diana. But when he tried to cal

Diana saw Julian looking at Betty, and immediately realized that something was going on between the father and daughter pair. She asked for an explanation from them there and then.Betty couldn’t hold her tongue, and immediately told Diana what she texted Julian. Diana couldn’t help but chuckle; she grabbed Julian’s hand, and placed it over her swollen stomach. “I’m holding one child by the hand, I have another child in the training camp, and another two children in my belly. Do you really think I have the capacity to find another lover? Running away with another man? Can you really believe that?”Diana poked Betty on her forehead and reminded her to be careful with her words, and not to say something like that ever again.“Why not?” Betty didn’t agree with it. In fact, she was beginning to feel a little angry. Mommy had left a red mark on her forehead. She no longer looked as beautiful in her princess dress!Diana said, “Because it doesn’t sound proper to claim that a woman
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1424
Since then, Julian didn’t pay much attention to the information that Betty sent his way.It was the same this time.After thinking things through, Julian finally stopped panicking. In fact, the more Betty texted him, the more it seemed as though the mother and daughter pair was having fun. At the very least, they weren’t in any sort of danger.Meanwhile, things were going well in the hotel that Diana was staying in. At that moment, Betty was walking out of the washroom. After secretly texting Daddy, Betty would look down guiltily when facing Diana, as if she had done something wrong. The moment Diana called her name, she looked up in shock, exposing her flushed face.She had just taken a bath, and her hair was still wet.To make it easy to apply baby lotion on her, Diana wrapped her up in a towel. Wet locks of hair hung down, sticking against her little face and outlining her forehead. Paired with her flushed face, she looked just like a nice, ripe apple.Diana couldn’t stop

“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?”

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
