'What?! I wanted to remarry him? What kind of epic misunderstanding is this?' Diana thought.On top of it, he agreed?!"You agreed, my foot!" she yelled.She didn’t expect him to be so conceited. Even while saying those words, he maintained an air of superiority. Did she ever ask for his permission?"I’ve never thought about getting back together with you," Diana said, lowering her voice. She didn’t want their conversation to be overheard by the children. She simply found his recent behavior strange, and wanted to put a stop to his excessive kindness. They weren't in that kind of relationship.Julian was stunned. When she spoke like that yesterday, he thought his sincerity had touched her. She had shyly fled after she asked her question, not even giving him a chance to explain further."I don't care," he said bluntly. Things were already at this point, so he decided to just lay it all out. "I've been trying to pursue you for the past few days. Did you notice?"Pursue her? Was

Diana wasn't dreaming, right?"Of course it's daytime," her assistant replied. "Since the recent renovation, our studio has gotten more customers. Many people who want custom orders are waiting for you to come out."Diana nodded, took a deep breath, and forced herself into work mode. She still needed to repay her debt to Fanny and Mr. Whatever, so she didn't have time to dwell on random thoughts.Still, Julian confessing to her was too unbelievable. She endured until noon. Then, she quickly called Nina and told Nina all about the situation.Unexpectedly, Nina wasn't surprised at all."Do you remember that day I posted on social media about having coffee with Mr. Fulcher?""Yeah," Diana confirmed. She had seen and even liked the post."That day, he consulted me on how to pursue you." Nina chuckled. "He believes that you really have amnesia now, and he wants to help you discover the truth about your memory loss and recover your memories."'This can't be real...' Diana was in a da
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 912
Diana was now completed convinced that Julian's text about practicing a confession was just a cover-up. He was genuinely pursuing her. Pursuing her, who had lost her memories. Pursuing a version of her who didn't remember anything from their past.Diana couldn't quite fathom Julian's thoughts. His emotions seemed to change way too quickly. However, Nina said that he hadn't changed at all. Julian was, and would always be, the Julian who liked her and loved her.This idea left Diana shaken, putting her in a dilemma. His face kept appearing in her mind. Ever since she returned to Richburgh, their paths seemed to keep crossing. In just a little over three months, she had accumulated a lot of memories about him. Sometimes he treated her really well, but other times, he caused her significant pain.Diana tossed and turned while lying in bed, still feeling uncertain about him. He might like her, he might be pursuing her—but as Nina had put it, whether she accepted him again or coul

A look of pity flashed past the receptionist’s eyes. “It’s just a pity…”“What about?”“Mr. Fulcher is now…” She looked like she was put in a difficult spot, but the thought of Diana’s status in Mr. Fulcher’s heart made her lean close to Diana, and whisper into her ear. “He seems to be pursuing another woman. He was holding a huge bouquet of flowers when he headed out today. The name Ms. Stewart was written on the card.”Ms. Stewart?Bouquet of flowers? Good on Julian Fulcher.He pretended to send her flowers only just yesterday. Yet here he was, sending flowers to Ms. Stewart today. It seemed Diana and Nina had been duped by Julian.No.In the first place, he had never lied to Diana.He had made it clear to her that his confession to her was merely a rehearsal.She and Nina simply chose not to believe it. Now that the receptionist had confirmed it, she had no choice but to believe it.She was such a fool! He had but treated her a little nicer, and she thought she had his

After Sean was done, he quickly put the stools back to where they were. Then, he hurried to the backyard to pick some bugs. He even caught a little frog.He made a beeline for Doreen’s table, and poured all of nature’s good friends into her desk.Later, his classmates started filing into the kindergarten.Sean kept looking up, and realized that Doreen wasn’t here yet. He was about to get anxious, when he spotted a familiar Rolls-Royce at the gate.It was Julian’s car.It had been two days.Sean never saw Julian when he woke up. His daddy didn’t even send him to school. Rather, it was Diana who sent him and Betty to kindergarten.As it turned out, his daddy went to fetch Doreen.Sean pouted unhappily as he glanced coldly at Doreen’s desk for the last time.Doreen could feel it the moment she stepped into the classroom. The cool and handsome classmate of hers, Sean Winnington, kept staring at her.This time, she didn’t shyly avoid his gaze. Instead, she puffed up her chest and

The moment the driver said so, he turned a sharp corner.When Diana looked up once more, she saw a long, wide road stretching before her. She suddenly felt relieved and happy. Determination filled her heart.Perhaps, she shouldn’t be assuming what Julian felt about her and announcing him guilty of doing everything to her for the sole purpose of practicing. Since she trusted this man from the bottom of her heart, since she…Since she had feelings for him, she should try to believe him. She, of all people, knew how terrible it felt when Julian didn’t trust her back then.Their meeting at the kindergarten today was a chance.She believed that perhaps things between him and Kiki were just a misunderstanding and that she was just overthinking things.After all, Kiki’s daughter Doreen did scratch Betty’s face before. Julian had also told her that he wasn’t interested in Kiki.Diana should believe his words.Perhaps when she saw the three of them looking like a tight-knit family, so

“Enough!” Diana closed up the hundred-meter distance between them in a few steps. She grabbed Kiki’s arm, then shoved it away. She caressed Sean’s ear and asked tenderly, “Are you okay? Does it hurt? I came to you late.”If she hadn’t moved so slowly at the door, Kiki wouldn’t have had the chance to bully Sean.Kiki stumbled backward from Diana’s force.Jealousy and viciousness flashed past her eyes. She leaned against the wall, then stood up. She charged toward Diana and snarled accusingly, “Since you don’t bother disciplining your child, why don’t I help you with that?”Diana’s eyes turned cold as she grabbed Kiki’s arm once again. “What right do you have to help me discipline my child?” she snapped. “You can’t even discipline your own daughter well! What right do you have to help me with that?”Kiki knew Diana was talking about Doreen scratching Betty’s face. At Diana’s mention of the incident, she instinctively shrunk back.But the thought of Julian’s positive attitude to

Very soon, Julian, Kiki, Diana and Sean were the only ones left in the backyard.“Sean, don’t make Daddy angry,” Julian said, ignoring Diana completely. He didn’t appear to have any intention of blaming Kiki, the full-grown adult, for hurting Sean. He only wanted Sean to apologize to them.Diana looked deeply at Julian and remembered what Kiki told her just now. She stepped forward, with the intention of pulling Julian to a quiet corner and hashing things out with him first.Only after she clarified the status of their relationship right now would she be able to communicate better with him.However, Julian flung her hand away. “There’s nothing to talk about between us.”His eyes were sharp and incisive, bearing a clear message of rejection.Diana felt awkward, but she said, “Julian, something like this just happened to Sean. He doesn’t feel good about it himself. Let’s not be like this in front of the kids…”“Be like what?” Julian glanced at Kiki and sneered, “When you rejecte

“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
