Chapter 1001
She was thankful she had finally realized how cruel she had been toward Julian after what happened tonight.
She couldn't stand it after experiencing Julian’s biased treatment against her just once.
What did Julian feel when he, the great CEO of Fulcher Inc., had to hear her scolding him incessantly while her
attention was fully on Simon?
Julian even personally wiped Simon's hands and shoulders for her sake.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have done all these.
Allowing Simon to move into Collina Villa was his greatest act of mercy toward this illegitimate brother of his.
Julian suddenly laughed at the sight of Diana rubbing her back. He knew he had pushed her roughly against the
cupboard.
"I’m not in pain," she said, as she looked at Julian. "It doesn’t hurt at all.”
She deserved everything that had happened to her! She didn’t blame it on anyone.
But...
"Is it really true that you’re engaged to Cecilia?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes." Julian nodded, his eyes flashing in displeasure. "Why
would I bother lying about it?"
That was true. He was always so proud and arrogant.
Although Diana didn't remember the past, the time she spent with him over the past three to four months allowed
her to more or less understand his character.
He had never disguised his true feelings before her.
"I give you and Cecilia my blessings, then," Diana said with a smile, as if she had let go of things. "Don't worry about
the children. I'll mentally prepare them for it once I have time."
With that, she pushed him out. "Don't let Cecilia misunderstand things between us. I can't afford to let her down
again. I don't mind what happened this time. Don’t worry about it, either."
She continued pushing Julian out, as if subconsciously trying to drive him out of her world.
If things could end like this, it wasn’t too bad an outcome.
Diana no longer wanted to get hurt by Julian again and again.
This time, she had been the one who hurt him instead.
Especially on that night, when she fell asleep when he questioned her in search of her concern and comfort.
Thinking that, her heart throbbed in pain.
She wasn't the victim.
It was Julian—the proud and haughty man who had been nothing but tolerant, yet received no positive response
from
her!
She wasn't worthy of him at all!
Julian stood stunned. He stared numbly at the door being shut right before him.
Frustration grew in his heart, but he held himself from knocking on the door. Instead, he turned around and
followed Noel and Cecilia back to Cecilia’s room.
Cecilia's mood was always better with Noel around.
Noel said to Julian, "Sir, let me take the night shift in the future. I can stop Ms. Jarvis from doing anything
unexpected."
Julian looked at him, unfazed.
Noel lowered his head, feeling guilty. When he looked up once more, he said, "It's not that I have feelings for Ms.
Jarvis! I just want to...to help you..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Help me with what?" Julian said, in a tone that was mild yet commanded authority.
Noel's face flushed. His usually stoic and calm self was nowhere to be seen.
"Don’t bully my mommy," Cecilia suddenly said, taking Noel as her mommy she could depend upon.
Her words broke the undercurrents between both men. She pulled Noel to her, and smiled at Julian. "I want to sleep
with Mommy."
He didn't mean he wanted to sleep with her! He just wanted to stand guard outside her room...
Noel’s face flushed a bright red once. He was agitated.
"Sir... Ms. Jarvis is just..."
"I know." Julian didn't want to force Noel to say that Cecilia was just being crazy as usual. "If she wasn't crazy, she
wouldn't have described how she bullied Diana in such a calm and indifferent manner."
Yet, Diana insisted on doubting whether Cecilia had really gone mad.
What a ridiculous notion!
Julian looked indifferently at Cecilia, who was clinging to Noel's arm.
"How did you come here so fast?”
Julian had called for Noel at such a late hour. Noel was probably at home, but he had appeared so quickly.
Julian's sudden question made Noel's hidden desires apparent.
