However, she couldn’t tell Julian’s grandmother that.If Madam Fulcher found out, Diana’s divorce from Julian wouldn’t be possible. Julian would then spend the rest of his life hating her. It would be so much better for them to separate amicably when they still had the chance.Julian frowned. There was a look of disappointment on his face as he said, “Grandma, we’ve been trying to have a child for three years. We simply can’t…”This was what he often said in front of his grandmother. Yet this time, the old lady refused to accept this excuse anymore. “I don’t care! It’s precisely because it’s been three years! You must give me a great-grandson soon! It’d be better if you give me a great-granddaughter, but she has to look like Diana and not you. I don’t like your cold face.”“Yes, a girl should be cute and adorable.” Diana thought of the baby in her belly, and a gentle expression subconsciously appeared on her face. She couldn’t stop herself from chiming in and adding to Madam Fulche
“I’m the problem?”Diana’s face flushed red instantly.“I was… I was just trying to help you out…”She didn’t want him to find out about the baby, but she didn’t expect Madam Fulcher to be so ‘helpful’!Looking at Julian’s red face, she couldn’t imagine what else she had failed to consider…“Help me out?” The man smiled impishly. His dark eyes were deep, and he leaned closer to her ear as he said with his magnetic voice, “Was it really to help me out, or are you trying to play hard to get?”Play hard to get?!Diana’s eyes widened in shock. That wasn’t what she meant at all!But Julian didn’t listen to her explanation at all and refused to put her down.After entering the room prepared by his grandmother, he kicked the door open. The redness inside almost blinded Diana. “What…” she said.Julian closed the door and carried her in his arms. He stepped on the rose petals on the ground all the way to the bed on which there was a red formed by petals. “Grandma prepared this,” he
Was it the confidence Julian gave this woman, or did she no longer regard Diana as Julian’s wife because she already knew they were going to divorce?This phone call early in the morning was like a big slap to Diana’s face. Diana also understood that Julian might be the first to refuse if she wanted to let what had happened go and reconcile with Julian.This woman…It seemed she had a tight hold on Julian’s heart.This was why she was so arrogant.Diana couldn’t wait to meet the woman and see if she was pampered endlessly by Julian just like what he used to do to Diana.Diana felt a stabbing pain in her heart when she thought of the past.She only calmed down after her palms turned pale from how tightly she had clenched her fists. Then, she said, “My husband is still sleeping. Who are you? Why are you asking my husband to accompany you to go home?”Kayla trembled with anger when she heard Diana’s assertive words.Diana was saying that Julian hadn’t woken up yet. Did that mea
Kayla subconsciously nodded. “All right, Julian.”“Send me your location. I’ll pick you up.”When he went downstairs, his grandmother was already waiting at the staircase. She looked behind him kindly and asked, “Where’s Diana?”Julian’s expression didn’t change. “Aren’t you fully aware of what you’ve done?”Madam Fulcher was little nervous as she asked, “Is she angry with me?”“She’s not angry with you, but she’s certainly angry with me.”That was true…Diana was very close to her.Sometimes, Madam Fulcher even felt that Diana was like her own granddaughter and that Julian did the right thing by marrying Diana.The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn’t stop herself from giving Julian a thumbs-up with a big smile.Julian sighed when he saw his grandmother’s goofy expression. “You’re not acting the way you should.”“You brat!” The old lady hit him hard. “Go quickly! Hurry back and see Diana. Help me to apologize to her too.”-At the same moment, D
Diana didn’t know where he found a change of clothes, but his T-shirt that had gotten dirty from the struggle earlier was gone.Diana stared at him a little longer. He was not only as handsome as Julian, but he also had a warm and pleasant personality that made people feel at ease.“This is for you.” He put the bag in Diana’s hand. “It’s milk tea. You’ll feel better if you have something sweet after that shock.”Diana instantly felt warm. She said pleasantly, “Aww… Thank you!”“You’re welcome.” The man’s smile was warm. He motioned for Diana to sit down first and then helped her to negotiate with the police officer. The police officer’s attitude did a one-eighty. He even asked someone to bring Diana a phone charger. As soon as her phone was turned on, she saw several missed calls from Julian popping up in succession.He must’ve been very anxious when he found that she was missing when he woke up!Being cared for was a nice feeling.A smile appeared on Diana’s face. She recalle
It was only when Diana saw the familiar police uniforms around her that she realized that she was in a police station at the moment. She finally felt a little relieved. Oliver somewhat regretted patting her from the back, but she was on the phone at the time. He had only patted her lightly when she did not respond after he called her a few times.He didn’t expect her to react so exaggeratedly.“I’m sorry.” He quickly distanced himself from Diana in a very gentlemanly manner before handing her the police return statement. “Everything’s all been taken care of, and that molester has already been locked up. Please don’t be afraid.”This was the third burst of warmth Diana felt after going through the unpleasant experience of being molested. The first was this man helping her on the subway.The second was the milk tea he had bought her.The third was what he said just now: that she didn’t have to be afraid anymore. As it turned out, someone could see through her facade of strengt
Further in the restaurant, its elegance stood out even more. There were several kinds of goldfish in the pool, which was decorated with abundant rockery pearls. At a glance, everything seemed to be alive. Diana could see that all these were expensive. A meal here certainly wouldn’t be cheap.She had just spent fifteen million dollars, and she would have to raise her baby alone after the divorce. It was time for her to save money. Thinking of how much the meal here could cost, her heart ached slightly. Still, it was worth spending money to thank her savior. Diana roughly calculated the balance on her phone. She went to sit in the private room with Oliver and said boldly, “Look at the menu and order whatever you want.”…After the forty-third call indicated that Diana’s phone was turned off, Julian’s expression grew extremely dark.Noel could feel the low pressure in the room. He hurriedly whispered to Julian, reminding him, “Sir, Ms. Kayla is still talking to her mother insid
Diana sneezed several times in a row. She felt inexplicably uneasy and even went to the washroom to check if there was any spotting on her underwear.She only came out of the toilet after confirming that everything was fine. “You’ve waited a long time.”Oliver handed her some tissues. “Not at all. I’m almost done eating too.”He was always so gentle and considerate in their interactions. He never made her feel uncomfortable. Diana smiled in reply and wiped her hands dry. She took out her phone and turned it on. She was just about to tell Oliver that she was going to pay the bill, but a commotion from the yard grabbed her attention before she could turn around.For some reason, the yard was suddenly full of bodyguards!Moreover, these bodyguards also looked somewhat familiar…Diana fell into a daze, but then a familiar voice sounded. “Diana!”The man who called her name was clenching his teeth with resentment.She turned her head in shock. “Julian?”He was causing such a big
