Chapter 923
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian didnât expect Kiki to understand him so âperfectlyâ.
This time, the smile on his face was genuine. âItâs been tough on you. Iâll stay for dinner tonight.â
Happiness came all too suddenly. Kiki was just feeling troubled over how to make Julian stay for dinner when Julian took the initiative to suggest it.
âI have some wine here.â Kiki shot Doreen a look, giving her the cue to return to her room and not interrupt her from getting intimate with Julian.â Mr. Fulcher, do you want to drink a littleâ¦tonight?â 2 Julian had yet to return to CoIlina Villa, even after dinner.
Diana stood at the door and looked out, feeling inexplicably melancholic and wistful. She could sense that those feelings had to do with Julian.
She hoped from the bottom of her heart that he would keep in mind every word she said and remember that she would be moving out of the villa with the twins.
She also hoped he would stop her from doing so.
Yet, he didnât.
She didnât even see him appear.
It was already so late, and he was probably still on his date with Kiki. She didnât even know if he would be returning home tonight.
The thought of them spending the night together made her dinner.
She knew what that meant. Despite her claims to not love him and her rejecting him, her heart felt otherwise.
Since she couldnât hold herself back from liking him no matter what, why did she divorce him in the past?
This was a question she asked Nina before.
Nina said that there were many reasons, but she couldnât pinpoint specifically what they were.
Diana could only pin her hopes on her finding her memories back to find out.
That was the only way she could understand why she continued having feelings for this b*st*rd, even until now.
Sean and Betty came out in search of her. âMommy, are we still not leaving yet?â
Sean remembered Julianâs attitude toward him at the kindergarten today. Right now, he didnât like Daddy one bit. In fact, he was resistant toward Julian.
He wanted to leave this place with Mommy immediately.
He didnât even want to bid Julian goodbye.
âWeâre leaving,â Diana said. She knew she was bound to be disappointed, what with Julian still nowhere to be seen.
He wasnât coming back.
He was probably being intimate with Kiki right now.
No wonder he treated Cecilia so unceremoniously. He had no lack of women in the first place. Ms.
Stewart was waiting in line, even with the departure of Ms. Jarvis.
If Diana hadnât seen for herself the kind of b*st*rd he was and got together with him, she wouldâve found herself in Ms. Stewartâs position.
âHeâs cheap, easy, and a philandering playboy. Thatâs what he is.â
Diana discreetly texted Nina, complaining about Julianâs behavior. She packed her things, and went to the place that Oliver had previously rented for her, with the twins in tow.
She used to find that place large enough, but after moving back there from Collina Villa, she felt bad for the twins.
âThe living room and bedroom combined arenât even as big as your own room back in Collina Villa.â
Diana crouched and looked at the twins, suddenly finding her actions to be rash. She wondered how much of that rashness was out of spite.
âWill you miss Daddy now that I suddenly brought you away from the villa so suddenly?â
Sean was the first to speak up. âI wonât. I donât want a new mommy.â
Betty didnât know what happened at the kindergarten and that Kiki was supposedly going to be their new mommy.
She was different from Sean. She hesitated to reply and looked down at her toes silently.
