Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 1040

As soon as Diana returned to her room, Layla came looking for her.

Layla told her that Simon was leaving, and had asked her to relay the message that he couldn't face Diana anymore after what he had done.

"Please convey a message for me. I hope he can live a good life."

Simon heard this, and disappointment flickered in his eyes. He had thought she would come to see him off when he left, but...

"She really won't come to see me off?" he asked Layla.
