Chapter 1006
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.

For the sake of his happiness and satisfaction, she would head out.
Autumn arrived early in Richburgh. Just a few days ago, it was still possible for them to wear thin shirts outdoors,
yet now they had to don thick jackets before heading out.
Diana was so distracted that it took her a while to realize she felt cold.
"Here. This is for you,'' Simon said as he handed her the jacket he held in his arms, looking like he had prepared it
very early on. "Wear it,” he said.
He gave her a men's jacket.
It was his own.
Diana instinctively wanted to reject him.
She didn't want to wear his clothes.
But Simon looked so expectantly at her that she realized that he had known since very early on that she would feel
cold outside, yet he did not remind her to bring a jacket, just so she would have to wear his clothes.
For some reason, she felt a heavy weight on her chest.
'Thank you," she said as she eventually relented and wore the jacket.
Sometimes, things in life happen unwittingly just like that.
She unwittingly returned to Richburgh and fell in love with Julian.
She unwittingly caused Simon to end up like this, had no choice but to bear the responsibility and watch Julian
getting together with Cecilia...
Everything had happened outside of her control and intention.
The affections and debts involved were complex and difficult to comprehend.
Perhaps it was better to let nature take its course for now.
She wore Simon’s jacket and felt the numbness in her fingers and toes fade away. Slowly, she could feel them
again.
It tuned out that just now...
Her fingers and toes had almost frozen stiff.
She gripped the handle of the wheelchair tightly, no longer able to smile at Simon.
If it were Julian, he wouldn't have waited till now to give her the jacket.
Simon's love was like breaking someone's leg and then giving them a crutch, demanding them to feel thankful.
But she kept that thought to herself.
Diana didn't say anything further.
The two strolled along the streets and slowly reached a restaurant nearest the villa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite staying here for so long, Diana had never eaten at the restaurant.
Simon looked as if he were familiar with the place. Someone even greeted him by calling him "Mr. Channing".
If it weren't for that greeting, Diana would have forgotten that he grew up in the Channing family.
"Ever since I found out about my identity, I came here frequently," Simon said, not concealing the fact that he
frequented the place. He explained to Diana the moment he sat down, "I used to think that the villa should have
belonged to me, which was why I frequently came over to look."
He was like a thief standing outside the door, gazing into the happy moments in the villa.
"Isn’t it just a villa?" That was something that the Channing family could afford as well.
Simon himself could afford it.
But this villa belonged to Julian.
Simon felt an inexplicable sense of possessiveness whenever he saw the villa.
"I know," Diana didn’t want to dwell on the topic. Just then, she saw the waiter walking around the place with a tray
of desserts and grabbed a bowl from it. "Have some desserts.”
Simon was cut off from what he wanted to say, but his thoughts remained. After the meal, he suggested to Diana,"
Now that Julian is engaged, the twins.Jt's a matter of time before you and Julian split up. Have you thought about
who the twins will follow?"
