Chapter 81
He had always loved and cherished Kayla. Despite that, why couldn’t he feel any joy when they spent time
together? Why would his entire body stiffen up uncomfortably instead?
On the flipside, he would experience immense joy each time he was with Diana.
Was it really because he doesn’t like Diana and therefore doesn’t treasure her and instead wants to bully her and
be possessive over her?
Julian’s brows were knitted tightly together as his mind raced. This time, instead of pushing Kayla away, he took the
initiative to draw her closer and kiss her forehead gently. “Sweet dreams.”
Bathed in the silver moonlight, he appeared even more handsome and suave.
Kayla desperately wanted to return him a kiss and leave her mark on his body. However, she knew that now wasn’t
the time. Loraine had taught her that men would always desire things they couldn’t get.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, she simply lowered her head coyly. “Go on. I’ll watch you leave before I head back home.”
It was only when Julian entered his car that she disappeared into the darkness.
However, Julian didn’t continue the trip. Instead, he instructed Noel to stop the car after making a turn.
Kayla didn’t rest for the night after returning to her place.
Instead, she eagerly fished out her phone and called Lucy. [1]
“Mom,” she said as she cried uncontrollably, “there’s a change of plans. I’m meeting Diana the day after tomorrow,
in the afternoon. You’ll have to rearrange our plan.”
Lucy could sense something wrong in Kayla’s tone, and pressed further.
Kayla told Lucy about Julian’s visit earlier. “Thank god I came back in time from your place! If he saw that I wasn’t
home and asked where I went, I wouldn’t be able to answer him. That would’ve been a disaster!”
Lucy nodded. “Kayla, you’re destined for a smooth–sailing life. Way better than Diana, that’s for sure!”
“But… Whenever Julian brings up the money, I can sense that he regrets it and doesn’t want to draw the line with
Diana. In fact, I keep having this feeling that they might not even get divorced as planned.”
A vicious look flashed past Lucy’s sharp eyes, but she quickly masked it with loud laughter. “So what if Julian decides
to forgo the fifteen million dollars and no longer wants to draw the line with Diana? So what if he really regrets it
and no longer wants to divorce her? Do you think he can maintain a relationship with a corpse?”
Lucy’s voice had a mysterious force that returned Kayla’s composure. “Will our plan really succeed?”
“Of course it will!” Lucy smiled. “As I’ve said, Diana’s life is destined to be miserable. Even right now, she’s courting
her own death!”
Things would be more chaotic than usual at the birthday party. Wouldn’t it be easier for everything to go wrong on
that day?
Realization immediately dawned upon Kayla. “Mom, you’re a genius!”
“Of course I am! How else was I able to win James over and make that sucker Kate treat you like her biological
daughter?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe mother–daughter pair was exceedingly smug. “Just you wait. The day after tomorrow will be Diana’s
doomsday!”
In the car…
Noel instinctively sensed something wrong with the mood in the car. He felt as if there was a black hole sucking all
the air out from inside, making breathing difficult.
“President Fulcher… Do you have something to say?”
Ever since the car came to a stop, Julian had been staring straight at Noel. His imposing aura was almost
unbearable.
Julian finally opened his mouth. “Do you know…what it feels like to fancy someone?”
He paused for a while. “A woman, specifically.”
What exactly does it feel like to fancy a woman?
Julian desperately needed to validate the crazy thought that he might have fallen in love with Diana instead. of
Kayla.
