Chapter 281

This was the second time Julian had run his hands over Diana's stomach. Last time, he had touched her at the same spot when he thought she was in pain due to her period, and had brought her to the hospital afterwards.Back then, she hadn't known about the babies in her belly. But this time...The threat he had given her still rang clear in her mind.Diana looked down at the slender hand resting on her lower abdomen. Yet, she didn't feel the longing and warmth that she remembered in the past.At this moment, she could only fear terror for him.She feared he would attack her babies, and she feared...That he would disappoint her yet again.She raised her hand and pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me."Her voice was loud and cold, though tinged with a hint of fear. The back of Julian's hand turned red from where she had hit him.She had used a lot of force when pushing his hand away.He looked down, staring at her hand before he reached out to grab it. "Let me see."The brui

Chapter 282

Why did Julian have to bring up the past? It made Diana's heart throb in pain. By the time he finished treating the bruise, thirty minutes had passed. Julian handled the wound carefully. When he was finished, the bruised area looked much better. Diana only realized her wrist hurt badly after he was done, but she hadn't felt it until now. The seriousness of her injury was more of an afterthought to her; she only realized how bad it was when Julian had finished applying the ointment."When I brought up the children, I didn’t mean it that way," Julian suddenly said after a long stretch of silence. "You don't have to worry. I'll make sure you deliver the babies safely."He would make sure she delivered the babies safely? Then, what would happen after that?Diana's heart skipped again. "You...want me to leave the children with the Fulchers and kick me out? Alone?"Diana was usually such an intelligent person; yet for some reason, she always went in the wrong direction regarding thes

Chapter 283

No matter how much Diana wished to return to the old days, it was impossible.Faced with a husband who couldn’t tolerate having children between them, and was even planning on how to separate her from her babies as soon as they were born...She couldn't pretend that none of these things had happened and play along with his sudden interest in her.She remained unmoving and stayed where she was.Julian seemed to realize something at the same time, so he stopped making the gesture. Eventually, he still managed to persuade Diana into his arms.He didn't know what to say.He didn't know how to comfort her, nor how to soothe anxiety and fear in her heart. He was even more at a loss on how to confess his feelings to her and how to apologize to her.All he could do now was hold her tightly in his arms with all the tenderness he could muster and simply keep her in his arms.His embrace indeed warmed Diana.When her ears were pressed against his chest, she could hear the steady beat o

Chapter 284

Diana wondered and wondered, and soon lost track of time. It was already ten at night, yet sleep evaded her.Then, her phone suddenly rang.She pulled it out to see it was a text message from Julian: [Don't block me.]Diana remembered she had blocked Julian on her app. Feeling a little embarrassed, she quickly pulled up her app and unblocked him before replying to his message.[Okay.]Julian's lips curled up in a smile when he read her reply. "Good. Go to sleep."Sleeping late wasn’t good for pregnant women and their babies. Not to mention, Diana was having twins, which was more difficult than pregnant women with only one baby.The words on the screen gave her a familiar warmth and affection, and Diana couldn't help but grow ever more suspicious. "When you left my room, you mentioned the babies and me..."As she typed, she bit her lip and thought it over again. In the end, she deleted the message.Perhaps she was overthinking it.Julian could only be treating her kindly bec

Chapter 285

"Why?" Julian was stunned at Diana's words as he instructed the kitchen staff to hurry up and serve breakfast.He had woken up early in the morning to prepare all the food that Diana loved, though with a few modifications in the ingredients as she was pregnant. He hadn't made breakfast for her in a long time.In fact, he even made some new dishes and was a little nervous about if she would like it.Seeing everything before her and the expression on Julian's face, Diana felt even more frightened.What was he planning now?Was he trying to fatten her up like a pig for slaughter?Or, in other words, was he trying to make sure she was well enough to give birth, then separate her from her babies?!She very well couldn't stay here for another minute!She lamented the fact that she had returned to the villa last night without informing Julian and Kayla. This was probably what upset Kayla and angered Julian.Yes, that was probably what led them to be in the situation now.When Juli

Chapter 286

Diana was speaking unusually much today."Why exactly do you not care about my being pregnant all of a sudden anymore?"It wasn't Kayla who was pregnant with Julian's baby, but her, Diana Winnington. Based on his thoughts from before, didn't she and her babies deserve to die?Diana's eyes were wide and round; she seemed genuinely confused and was pondering very hard on this matter.Julian snorted.He was furious with her thinking."Diana, I'm not so cruel as to kill my children with my hands.""Then, why did you say those things in front of Luke...?""That's because..." Julian trailed off and froze. He hadn't realized his feelings yet back then, but now, he was well aware of them.Even if Kayla got pregnant, it wouldn’t be worth more than the little lives Diana carried in her belly.No, more accurately... Kayla would never have the chance to get pregnant with his child. He didn't have the desire to touch anyone but Diana.There was never a chance to get anyone else pregnan

Chapter 287

What kind of solution did Julian have?At this point, the only solution Diana could think of was getting divorce.If possible, she didn't want to talk to Madam Fulcher about her pregnancy until she absolutely needed to.Yet, this fact made her heart as heavy as stone. It made her uncomfortable when she thought about how big of a deal she was hiding from the older woman; she felt uneasy.She wanted to make Madam Fulcher happy.But now that she had Julian's promise, there wasn't any need to add trouble by leaving, and there was even more no need to leave Madam Fulcher some false happiness. Diana didn't want to leave her children with the Fulcher family and be separated from them.Sadly, the reality was that neither Julian nor Kayla would allow her to stay.Her own pride wouldn’t allow it, either.Her original plan was to get the divorce papers as soon as possible, then take her babies as far as possible from here.Julian obviously knew what she had in mind. He had read her divor

Chapter 288

This soon became known to Kayla, and the resentment she harbored for Diana deepened.Last night, Diana had given such an insincere apology and quietly left, looking as upset as Kayla felt.Diana obviously thought she was better than Kayla!In addition, Julian hadn't returned to stay with Kayla as he had promised. Kayla knew it must have been because of Diana.As such, Kayla made sure Diana would feel her rage today in the company. She couldn't help but think that...that Diana and Julian must have slept together again.How shameless of Diana!She was already pregnant, yet she was still seducing men!Kayla had gone through all the trouble of acting out such a tedious play, but she still failed to keep Julian by her side. Even his concern for her had been short-lived. She had racked her brains to come up with so much... Was it true? Was she not destined to win against Diana? Would she always only be second best?No! That was impossible.There must have been something Kayla had

Chapter 289

The following day, Diana stood before the entrance of Winnington Mansion. This time, she was here because James had reached out to her first and invited her over.Even though she knew she shouldn't take any chances or expect anything from them, it was impossible to avoid them. So, here she was.The babies in her belly were doing well. Ever since becoming a mother, she had been even more confused at how anyone would not love their own children.Kate had done it, and so had James. "Why are you spacing out and standing there?"Diana was lost in thought when Kate came out.Kate hadn't contacted or met Diana since the poisoning incident at Kate's birthday party that had damaged Kayla's throat, so it was strange for her to speak in such a warm tone to Diana.However, Diana wasn't fazed by the warmth and familiarity that Kate showed her. Instead, she turned cold and said, "I’ve only just arrived."The sky above them was dark and dreary, as if it would rain soon.Kate froze momentari

Chapter 290

Regardless, Diana remained firm and pretended not to see the look on Kate's face. Diana wouldn't forget that back at the hospital when Kate had been so sure that Diana had poisoned Kayla and couldn't wait for Julian to deal with her. The look on Kate's face still lingered in Diana's mind till today.What was more, Diana couldn't feel any real care or warmth from Kate the entire time the two had been together. She could even feel Kate’s discontent when Kayla brought over this small chair for Diana to sit on.Haha! If that was still the case, why would they call her, a daughter they often dubbed a street rat, to their family home?"What did you want to talk about?" Diana asked, getting straight to the point.James almost choked when Diana spoke so bluntly. This fact only served to confirm that Diana was nothing like Kayla, as the latter was an attentive and obedient girl. In fact, he started to feel glad he had thrown Diana away and covered the fact that he brought his illegitimate
