Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 1101 - Bab 1110

"Why are you back so soon?" Nina hurriedly opened the door when she heard the commotion, and welcomed Diana and the two kids inside. She noticed that Diana was carrying some takeout.Diana held the containers of homemade dishes in her hands, and waved them in front of Nina. "Let's celebrate."Nina understood, and quickly turned to fetch plates and utensils. "Did you buy it?""I did," Diana said, rubbing her hands. "And I made sure to ask. Oliver really doesn't like me anymore."As for the house, Diana and Oliver had followed market prices and formal contracts. Diana didn't want to take advantage of him in any way.Nina loved gossip the most. Even if it was about Diana, she wouldn't let it go. "How are you so sure?"Before, Oliver's feelings for Diana had been crystal clear.Just as Nina was about to ask more, she waved her hand at Diana. "Wait. Don't tell me." Her professional intuition kicked in, and she guessed, "Is it related to Fanny?"Back then, Nina had taken photos

Diana had gradually learned to let go. Plus, with the recent audit over the past week, she realized that even after repaying Mr. Whatever's investment, she could still afford the down payment on Oliver's house."I bought it on mortgage, and I'll have to make monthly payments."Fortunately, the house was in a slightly less expensive area. Aside from the down payment, the monthly mortgage payments weren't too burdensome.Diana looked at Sean, and continued, "I don't have to cover Sean's tuition fees. Julian may not be great to me, but he's good to the children."She knew Sean harbored some resentment towards Julian at the moment. So, she wanted to say some positive things about Julian in front of Sean. The children had their own thoughts, and she had her own. She couldn't let her relationship problems affect her children's expectations of their father.However, Sean didn't say anything in response. He silently went into the bathroom to run the bathwater himself. The sound of rus

Diana reached out to the glass door, and gently wiped away some of the condensation. She could faintly make out that Sean was still frozen in the same position. He was still hugging himself and not moving.Even breathing was painful.The child was suffering.Diana felt her heart break further, as though someone had taken the pieces and stomped on them.Diana stood at the bathroom door, and dialed Julian's phone number once more. This time, he picked up. "Hello, I..."His voice was so indifferent, as if nothing had happened. In fact, he sounded quite joyful.But their child, Sean, who had finally acknowledged Julian as his father after a long journey, was crying quietly in the bathroom.He didn't deserve to be her husband...Even less so, the father of their children!Diana almost hissed through gritted teeth. "Earlier, why didn't you answer the phone?"Julian immediately sensed that something was wrong.But when he thought about how he would soon see her in person to tell

They used to be as sweet as this before. It was as if they had never been apart—like they had never divorced. But... There was Julian's engagement to Cecilia.Diana was about to ask about it, when she heard him say, "I love you."His voice was soft but swift, like a light breeze in the air.Even after hanging up the phone, Diana still felt a bit dizzy. She couldn't understand how she suddenly found herself listening to Julian confessing his love.Perhaps it wasn't all that sudden. She thought about the repaired bathtub, and couldn't help but smile. Coincidentally, Vans had carried Nina out after she had emptied her stomach.Diana quickly poured a cup of water for Nina. Vans helped Nina drink it, and her complexion visibly improved afterward. "When we went to buy flowers today, Julian came here, right?" Diana asked as she gently massaged Nina's temples, hoping to alleviate her hangover. "And before he came here, he asked about me and Sean, right?"Julian was in the same

Julian had acted far from a typical CEO. Yet, he held the economic fate of so many in his hands. He supported tens of thousands of employees across various corporations, and seemed to excel in everything he did… Including their relationship.Diana felt that she should give him a chance to explain himself when he arrived. However, upon his arrival, the first thing she planned to do was to give him a good scolding. She needed to release the pent-up frustration she had accumulated over the past few days. She would tell him that if he hadn't fixed the bathtub and come to see her and Sean today, she might have never given him another chance.But today, he made her feel his love in such a tangible way."Do you remember the sofa at Collina Villa?" She said to Sean while applying children's face cream to his cheeks."I remember," Sean replied.She spread the cream on his face, gently massaging it until his skin fully absorbed it. Then, unable to resist herself, she quickly cupped
