Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 608
"Have you lost your mind?" Diana cried. She was so infuriated by his behavior that she wanted to scream. "You asked me to scream if it hurts, cry if it’s painful, and laugh if I’m happy, but why can't you be more genuine before me?""I am," Julian said, his forehead covered in sweat.Every time he spoke to her, it seemed to require a tremendous amount of effort.Despite that, he wanted to talk to her.Even without saying a word between them, they knew that this time, this was the real reconciliation.No… Rather than saying it was a reconciliation, this was the first time their hearts were truly connected.This was something that never happened in their three years of marriage.So, how could Julian not be delighted?He felt wonderful, and the greatest woman in the world was now back in his life.If he wasn't happy, who would be?With that thought in mind, the wounds on his body no longer hurt. He just wanted to look at her more and talk to her more."If it hurts so much, why

On the other hand, Diana couldn't bring herself to feel happy. If Julian believed that she was more important...it meant he probably didn't have the same obsession with the ashes of their babies as she did.What if he didn't agree to let Kayla go, and wasn't as determined as her to retrieve the ashes? What should she do, then?In that case, she could only request what she wanted from him without giving him a reason.After thinking for a moment, she decided to make him feel more at ease first before bringing up the issue of freeing Kayla."How's Grandma?"Now that Diana had confirmed Julian's safety, she started to worry about the elderly woman she had left in the abandoned area."Noel sent a message saying she's fine," Julian said as he moved closer to the edge of the bed and patted the empty space next to him, motioning for Diana to join him. "Come. Let's rest a while together."Diana initially wanted to refuse, but she was also eager for some time alone together with him."

It was a huge matter, so it naturally needed careful consideration.Before Diana had the chance to explain, Julian started being mischievous again. He playfully nibbled on her earlobe.Diana's earlobe was sensitive, and she couldn't help but shrink inward at each bite.However, Julian didn't let up his attempt."Diana, if you keep avoiding me like this, I'll try my best to get closer to you. If I strain myself too much, it'll hurt my wound."Diana was startled by his words, and she froze momentarily.She was afraid of pulling on his wound.Julian seemed satisfied with his little victory, and chuckled silently until Diana realized he had tricked her.She suddenly sat up."Julia-"Before she could finish saying his name and express her indignation at being teased like this, Diana caught sight of Julian's brows furrowing tightly."Did I sit up too quickly and jostle your wound?"Diana was scared and turned slightly pale as she stared at his wound, examining it from every angle

"Diana!" Julian yelled.Why wasn't she answering?After going through so much, was she still refusing to believe his feelings?!Or could it be...Did she only feel gratitude toward him for taking the blow for her, and didn't actually love him?Julian couldn't help but feel nervous. His inky eyes became gloomy, as if a dark cloud was looming over his head.Both him and Oliver waited for her answer with bated breath.Diana became even more flustered once she realized this. She couldn't say anything for a few moments, as she couldn't find the words to answer in a way that would satisfy them both."Diana..." Julian repeated, not able to wait any longer.He desperately needed to confirm her feelings and wanted her to acknowledge them.Especially in front of Oliver.Seeing that calling her name didn't work and that Diana refused to speak, Julian resorted to playing the victim again. He furrowed his brows and groaned, as if the pain in his body had intensified by a hundredfold and

As it turned out, Diana couldn't move on either way.She and Julian truly understood one another, and their hearts were intertwined.It wasn't like any random person could shake or sever their connection.At this moment, when Oliver saw the undeniable joy in her eyes upon saying he was giving up on her, a wrenching sensation gripped his heart.Iron barbs pierced through his heart and lungs, digging out the years of longing, and...Since their first meeting in Yale Village, it seemed like his feelings for her were destined to be a one-sided show.And now, this act was finally coming to an end. He couldn't bear to interfere in her happiness or be a burden to her."Let's be friends from now on," Oliver said, stretching out his hand to her without any further explanation.Diana also reached out, and their fingertips almost touched before Oliver withdrew his hand.That was enough. He had said everything he needed to.The greatest respect for her existing feelings and love was the

"Don't worry," Oliver reassured Diana, but the clenching feeling in his heart tightened even more.Staying in front of her any longer would drill a big hole in his heart.Oliver desperately warned himself not to cross boundaries again in her current relationship, as it wouldn't benefit her in any way.Causing trouble for someone he liked wasn’t his style.Diana knew that Oliver was a man of his word. Since he had given his word, there shouldn't be any further complications."Okay." After all, Simon was his younger brother.She trusted Oliver.Moreover, he was right.It was virtually impossible for an ordinary person to do anything to Julian."I was overthinking." She belatedly realized that her behavior in front of Oliver had been exaggerated, even surpassing her previous actions with Julian in the hospital.Fortunately, Oliver didn't seem to notice anything unusual and instead said, "Go back quickly. I'll meet with Simon again."Even when he knew she was simply being para

Traces of blood seeped through the front of Julian's bandages, and Diana got angrier than him at the sight."Why won't you take better care of yourself?!""Take care of myself?" Julian huffed in anger. He refused to lie back down no matter how much Diana tried to push him.His sharp, chiseled face seemed to have exploded like fireworks, bearing traces of the explosion everywhere. "My woman can't stop thinking about other men, so what's the use of me taking care of myself?""Pfft." Diana couldn't help but laugh at his serious demeanor. She placed her hand on his forehead and checked. "Well, you're not running a fever."He looked so silly.He couldn't even catch her jokes."I don't care!" He even resorted to acting spoiled and unreasonable. "Anyway, you agreed to remarry me, so you'll be mine for the rest of your life. Even if you feel down because Oliver doesn't like you, you can't think of him, let alone like him!""Who said I agreed to remarry you?" Diana was shocked by his st

Once Diana said that, the look on Julian's face instantly changed and a wide smile stretched on his lips."Alright, I'll give you time to consider."As long as the end result was good, it was fine."I can take my time? However long it takes?""However long it takes," Julian said easily.Now that he knew Oliver had decided to give up on Diana and she didn't have feelings for him, Julian had become even more patient. When he thought about it a little more, however, he grew slightly dissatisfied and said, "No, I still have to do something about Oliver. I want him to know how foolish he was for giving up on the woman I love!"Diana was speechless at Julian's words.When Oliver liked her, he was jealous. When Oliver decided to give up on his affection for her, Julian was still unhappy, accusing that the other lacked taste and didn't know how to appreciate her good qualities. In the end, it all boiled down to his resentment towards Oliver.Diana couldn't help but ask. "Exactly

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’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1546
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
