Lahat ng Kabanata ng Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Kabanata 1141 - Kabanata 1150

Sue didn’t even say much. She simply told Diana that Shiloh couldn’t be trusted, and that she hoped there wouldn’t come a time Diana begged at her doorstep. Diana composed herself, and made sure she sounded normal before saying, “Sue… I mean, Mrs. Jarvis. Is she very powerful?”“Mrs. Jarvis?” Julian paused for a moment, as if finding it strange that Diana suddenly asked that. But very soon, he gave her his professional analysis. “Mrs. Jarvis, or Sue Chimmery, came from a family of scholars in Jacroaof. Centuries ago, their ancestors went abroad to further their studies. They then returned to Jacroaof to train many scientists, philosophers, and others who were meritorious in their service to the country. They can be said to be a prominent family with a very low profile.“When she married Cecilia’s father, their marriage was seen as a union between two powerful families. The Jarvis family was also seen as a literary family, but they appeared greater in scale compared to the Chimm

“Then, his sudden appearance… Him giving you that pill that made you lose your memories, and his reappearance years later to make you eat another pill…” Julian said.Diana looked at Julian, and said, “He was just an obsessed pharmaceutical scientist using me to test out his drugs. Anyway, the case is closed. We shouldn’t overthink things.”They had remarried. The priority was to lead their lives well.Diana didn’t want to waste any more time and effort on these things. “I’ve thought about what Sue said. I threatened her to call off the engagement using Cecilia’s condition. She probably didn’t feel good about it. For all I know, she might have said it on purpose to make me feel uneasy. That would make her feel better.”“As for Shiloh Stewart…” Diana paused for a moment. “Although I think nothing of his daughter Kiki, he went out of the way to report his own daughter to the police so she won’t repeat her mistakes. I think he’s a good man.”At the end of the day, she still chose to

Aside from Diana, Grandma wouldn’t acknowledge anyone else as her granddaughter-in-law.“But…” Julian said, his heart breaking, “She left us way too early.”That was why she could never give the necklace to Diana.Diana thought about the time Grandma left them. Her heart broke, too. Her chest felt tight and suffocating, as if someone had stuffed wet cotton in it. The two of them stared silently at the jade necklace for a long time.“Grandma actually gave me a lot of jewelry. The funny thing was, I once thought of giving the earrings I got from her to my mother Kate. However, she told me the truth and helped me see how stupid I had been. Grandma was so thoughtful of me, I owe her so much,” Diana said, her heart breaking even further.She suddenly had the urge to cry.Her parents had never given her love and kinship. Grandma was the only one—Grandma more than made up for the family Diana never had.The two of them talked for a while. When they finally left the room, they bumped

Even the wall decorations looked bleak and depressing.Diana’s heart leapt. What on earth was she doing?It was so rare for the whole family to spend the new year’s eve together so happily. Why was she making things miserable, just because of Simon?Yes, Simon wasn’t that wicked. However, it was true that he had impure motives toward her. What was more, he put her in harm’s way and took advantage of her.At the very least, Diana was capable of discerning right from wrong.Still, she couldn't deny that Simon had taken great care of her during her three years in Stirling City. He had been a great help to her. Her heart ached when he saw her turn away and leave in his wheelchair.“Julian,” she said, holding his hand. “I don’t have anything to say to him. Let’s go downstairs and call the twins for dinner.”Julian nodded, and went downstairs with Diana. It was just a few steps, but he walked very slowly.It was only until they reached the first floor, until Simon’s retreating figure

At that time, they would also gather for a meal on the new year’s eve.This time, Julian joined them.Her real father.Betty enjoyed her meal with great happiness.Her pure, crystal-clear eyes brought a smile to Simon’s face. He caressed her head. When he recalled what Diana once asked him, his heart ached.The twins…Didn’t seem to treat him very much differently.Simon thought the twins no longer wanted anything to do with him after they acknowledged Julian as their father. He even thought of leaving the twins behind in Richburgh as he took Diana away.That would truly be tearing the family apart.Compared to the warm happiness in the air right now, his original plan seemed inhumane—to say the least.He almost couldn’t taste the food in his mouth, save for a slightly bitter aftertaste.Simon didn’t eat much. After the meal, Julian wanted to bring Diana to launch the fireworks. “I’ve prepared everything.”He turned back to look at Simon. “Hey cripple, you coming?”Diana s
