Chapter 1071

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

Chapter 1073

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

"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

Chapter 1075

Cecilia was confined to the car, unable to do anything. She was embarrassed and wanted to apologize to Albert, but Sue had already rolled up the car window, and the driver had locked it. Cecilia could only comply as Sue guided her, heading slowly toward the Jarvis family residence.As the car drove away, the momentum tossed some of the money further into the air. Despite the biting winter wind and the money swirling around, Albert remained rooted in place, unmoving.He just stood there, staring blankly as the car moved farther away. Having worked in the Fulcher family for so many years, he wasn’t an inexperienced man. That license plate number...looked far from ordinary.Cecilia told him that she liked Noel before her mother arrived. Albert wondered if that was why he hadn't been able to contact his son these past few days.Noel... He probably knew his place.The Carter family couldn't match up to a wealthy young lady like Cecilia.The car finally disappeared from Albert's

If it were Noel, he definitely wouldn’t tell her to wash her hands clean when he saw her fingers covered in ashes. Instead, he would say, "Ms. Jarvis, did you enjoy eating roasted sweet potatoes?" He knew what she truly liked and cared about. He always took care of her meticulously, without imposing any rules on her.Before Cecilia met Noel, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her life with the Jarvis family. She only knew that everything had been arranged for her. With so many people loving her, she only needed to accept everything passively. But now, she felt restrained by this arrangement.This included her engagement to Julian.Cecilia wiped her fingers clean, and looked up. "Mom… Did you ever ask me how I feel about my engagement to Julian?" They hadn't even gone through an engagement ceremony. It was just an agreement between Sue and Julian, and that was supposed to be enough."You've been ill after all," Sue said, sounding slightly guilty. However, she was

Chapter 1077

Sue had always gone out of her way to hug Cecilia. Cecilia used to think that as long as she had her mother's embrace, she would have boundless strength. But since she got sick and started losing control of herself—especially when her illness was at its worst—her mother had rarely hugged her. Now, being embraced by her mother again, that warmth seemed to return.Perhaps she was overthinking things. Cecilia lowered her gaze. She was just about to apologize to Sue for hiding the fact that she searched for Noel in secret when she heard Sue say, "That’s in the past. Don't bring it up again. You’re a good and perfect child. How could you have gotten that illness?"Sue pouted, and continued, "Plus, your engagement with Julian isn't something just anyone can have."The tone and emphasis were familiar, but Cecilia found them strangely foreign. Her mother...wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and erase her illness, rather than fully accepting her.Cecilia's throat tightened as i

Chapter 1078

Diana had been waiting for Julian.She had been waiting for him to contact her. However, he hadn't done so. He simply left the restaurant and got into his car, as if her abrupt departure hadn’t affected him the slightest.Diana felt deeply disappointed.After Julian's car left, Diana walked into the crowd and made her way to the subway station. The bodyguards following her at a distance were unaware of what had transpired. Julian had only instructed them to ensure her safety from afar. They didn't report her Diana standing behind the big tree to him.Diana didn't rush to find Nina; instead, she went to the cemetery. She wanted to visit Madam Fulcher, Aster, and Star first.-When Julian arrived in the countryside, Albert was already waiting at the gate. Seeing Julian getting out of the car, he quickly approached Julian. "Sir."Julian nodded. "Where's Cecilia?"Albert didn't rush to respond; instead, he handed a stack of money to Julian. "Please return this to Mrs. Jarvis fo

Chapter 1079

It was hard for Julian to refuse such hospitality. Julian knew he couldn't let down the Jarvis family, so he continued to accompany Frederick for a while. Sue noticed they were getting along well, and her mood improved even more. She brought more food, clearly hinting that Julian should stay the night.Julian declined, and didn't continue drinking with Frederick. "I should talk to Cecilia now," he said.Sue's smile grew even more affectionate, and there was a genuine sense of satisfaction in it."Oh, look at us! We're in the way of the engaged couple, aren't we?" she said. Julian couldn't help but notice her emphasizing the words 'engaged couple' in a somewhat probing manner.However, he had no intention of discussing it openly with Sue. Instead, he just smiled in response. "No worries, it was my fault for not visiting more often."After a few more pleasantries, Sue took Julian to Cecilia's room.Sue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Noel Carter… I heard from Cecilia that h

"When will you tell your parents about the annulment?" Julian asked, standing at the doorway. He didn't enter the room. Cecilia, on the other hand, approached him willingly. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She suddenly pulled Julian forcefully into the room.With a loud slam, she closed the door.Being alone in a room with a woman other than Diana made Julian somewhat uncomfortable, especially when this woman was someone Noel held dear. Noel had been with Julian for so long, and had only offered to leave because of Cecilia. Noel had been by Julian’s side when he needed it the most. Noel had helped him build the foundation of Fulcher Inc., which had grown into what it was today.Julian wasn't an ungrateful person, and remembered Noel's contributions well. Despite Noel's resignation letter and his continued absence, Julian hadn't hired a new assistant to replace him.Even though Noel had no blood ties to him, the man was more family to Julian than Simon, who was h
