Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 1017

"What about Simon and Cecilia?" Diana asked.

She stood rooted to the spot, ashamed for harboring the thoughts deep within her heart.

"Am I acting very irresponsible?" Julian kept looking at her, like a prince gazing at his princess.

His expression was so focused, and his voice so captivating. "Life is short. Isn't it better to live following your heart?"

Diana remained silent.

"Did you come to see me today just because Betty wouldn't let you hold her or get close? In the days of abiding by the rules, didn't you ever yearn for me? Did you never wonder why I didn't initiate a conversation with you? Didn't you feel upset? If you do, then it's proof that you still care about me. That night...was a result of strong feelings that went out of control."

As Julian slowly dissected her actions, the feelings Diana suppressed in her heart yearned to burst out. However, they timidly retreated. She still had her most pressing concern.

"Simon and Cecilia..."

She bit her lip, her overwhelming emotions almost bringing her to tears.
