Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 1129

Diana still needed to go meet Mrs. Jarvis—Sue Chimmery.

Julian, of course, was wholly unwilling.

"No way."

Earlier, Diana had wanted to see Cecilia alone. When she came out, she ended up looking like this. Julian couldn't bear the thought of Diana meeting Sue.

"Relax," Diana reassured him, aware of his concerns. She urged Julian in the direction of the parked car. "I won't hurt myself again. I'm not so foolish as to indulge in self-torture."

In reality, she just wanted to make amends for her guilt while negotiating with Cecilia. Her goal had been achieved. Continuing to harm herself would only make the children notice, and she couldn't do that to them.

"Give me some time with Sue," Diana persuaded Julian once more. "I don't want to see you at Cecilia's beck and call anymore."

She tugged at a corner of his clothes, and continued, "Let's resolve everything that needs to be resolved today, alright?"

Julian's face remained tense. He still didn't want to relent. At this point, he no longer believed Diana's words.
