บททั้งหมดของ Julian’s Stand-In Wife: บทที่ 1001 - บทที่ 1010

Noel was on the verge of kneeling before Julian. But Cecilia was holding his arm tightly, stopping him from doing so. Noel had known that he wouldn’t be able to hide his feelings for Cecilia from Mr. Fulcher. Still, he looked down and tried to keep them a secret. “I didn’t have the chance to leave Collina Villa just now…”“Oh.” Julian’s eyes were imperceptibly dark, his thoughts unreadable. “You were still around even when it’s so late. I should probably give you a pay raise to reward you for your passion and dedication to your job.”Noel could sense the obvious sarcasm in Julian’s tone. However, it was true that he had feelings for Cecilia. Even since she started relying on him and calming down at the sight of him, he had fallen for her—perhaps right from the moment she hugged his waist that day.Despite that, she had become Julian’s fiancée—the future Mrs. Fulcher.He could only bury his feelings for her in the depths of his heart.Yet, Julian had to dig it out right now

Simon was probably more important to Diana. Shiloh came today with the intention of coming clean with Julian, about how he had joined hands with Kiki to make Diana leave Julian before he would treat Julian. However, Julian’s unhappy face and hostile countenance made him swallow the words that were at the tip of his tongue.After a moment’s silence, he said, “Where is Ms. Jarvis’ room?”“Come with me.” Julian took Shiloh to the room. Noel was standing guard at the door.He didn’t sleep a wink last night, out of worry that Cecilia might do something again.Although Cecilia was engaged to Julian on paper, if she really did hurt or even kill Diana, the consequences would be utterly frightening.He would do all he could to protect her while he had the chance to, before she officially became Mrs. Fulcher. He would stand vigil for her all the way.When he saw Julian glance his way, Noel greeted Julian in a tired voice. “Mr. Fulcher, regarding things at the office…”“I won’t let progr

Noel bore under the torment while obediently serving Cecilia the food she requested.When she felt happy, she even gave Betty a high-five.Diana witnessed the heartwarming scene and felt like something was amiss, but she could not pinpoint what was wrong.A thought crossed her mind that if Cecilia really were to recover from her condition, she might become fast friends with Betty.As for Julian…He would undoubtedly be a great father.But no matter how good a father he was, it had nothing to do with her. She retreated silently and told the kitchen staff that she wasn’t having dinner today. Instead, she would be bringing Simon out for dinner.Simon saw how low her mood was throughout the afternoon and how she had avoided the twins for fear that they might notice the wounds on her body. That was why he suggested bringing her out for a meal and a breather.Diana had no choice but to accept Simon’s suggestion.Otherwise, he would definitely complain about his disability and bein

Diana pondered about that for a long time.Julian went about his day as usual over the past few days, appearing oblivious to the fact that he was being cheated on.Diana kept looking at him with pity in her eyes.One day, Julian finally couldn’t stand it any longer.He hadn’t spoken to Diana for a long time, except for when the twins were around.Yet, the pity in her eyes whenever she looked at him grew day by day.Her pity toward him had grown into overwhelming compassion.Finally, on the way home after sending Sean to kindergarten, Julian pressed Diana against the car passenger seat at the back.His overwhelming presence filled her senses.Diana couldn’t help but shrink back into her seat. “What do you want?”She looked like a deer caught in headlights, feeling helpless and trapped.Julian’s throat suddenly felt dry and parched, his gaze toward Diana turning sharp and incisive. “Don’t you know what I want?”With that, his hands started roaming up her body.Diana was stun

"It depends on what the children think,” she said.The idea of raising the twins separately had been on Diana’s mind for a while, but she hadn't intended to bring it up with Julian. Today, she brought it up...to divert his attention from Cecilia's infidelity.Diana hadn't expected Julian to take it to heart. However, it was better to address it sooner rather than later. The issue had to be resolved eventually.However, what would Julian do once she left Collina Villa with the children and Simon? Would he really go through with the engagement with Cecilia, as planned?Well, she didn't have time to think about that for him.Soon, Julian threw her another challenge.Just five minutes after returning home, Betty approached Diana with a pout. Her eyes were watery, clearly indicating that she was on the verge of tears. Diana hurriedly picked her up. "Sweetie, what's wrong?"During this period, Betty had been eating, drinking, and sleeping well. Diana had planned to send Betty to kin
