Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1072

Chapter 1072

Diana hadn't actually seen through his true identity. He was convinced he hadn't left any incriminating evidence behind.

"I guess I had too high hopes for you." Diana sighed when she saw him persisting.

She clenched her fists, staring at the figure behind the curtain. Ever since he had proposed divorce, she had become accustomed to giving herself a hundred reasons to believe that Julian loved her.

When she saw the plain meal spread before her, she even imagined he cared for her. She thought he was being considerate of her and worrying about her health; that he was afraid she would eat something greasy, or if she hadn't eaten at all. He was expressing his concern in a subtle, consistent manner.

In reality...

He had hurt her the most.

Yet even today, she couldn't let go of her affection for him. It was a fondness akin to ivy, creeping into every part of her body over the years; like a natural part of her life, just as necessary as eating and sleeping.

She couldn't help but be attracted to him, even in her amnesiac state; even more so now, especially when so many memories were flooding back. For her, Julian had endured wounds. He was a major figure, yet he had knelt

before so many people just to gain a bit of information about her.

Didn't he love her?

Diana refused to believe otherwise.

So why... Why wouldn't he come out to meet her now?

Diana clenched her fists again, trying to convince herself once more. She chuckled self-deprecatingly, but had no intention of giving up.

He couldn't truly be in love with Cecilia.

Perhaps it was all meant to provoke Diana into admitting her feelings for him.

Yet, Julian remained unmoved. He seemed like a lofty judge, ignoring her completely despite her naked sincerity.

Diana had to consider whether she had been mistaken. Perhaps she had been too self-assured.

Three years were enough to change many things.

Maybe Julian had grown tired of her.

Perhaps he genuinely wanted to try things out with Cecilia. Even if Cecilia liked Noel, what did that matter?
