Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1126

Chapter 1126

Cecilia looked up, a mocking smile on her face. "Diana Winnington? Why are you here? Where's Julian?”

"He's right outside the door,” Diana said, while checking that the door had indeed been locked.

Julian was unable to enter from outside.

With that, she inched nearer to Cecilia and made clear her intentions. "Today, I come here representing Julian to call off your engagement with him."

Diana's words deepened the smile on Cecilia's face.

However, the smile didn't reach her eyes. She grabbed a pillow next to her and flung it to Diana.

"You have no shame! What right do you have to speak to me like this? The last time I dragged you around in CoIlina Villa, I should have pressed your head down in the toilet and taught you a good lesson!"

The pillow hit Diana right in her face. It then landed on the floor with a dull thud.

Yet, Diana didn't even blink. "Yes, you really should have done that."

That would have awakened her from her stupor.

How could she...

How could she hit her child today?

How could she allow Betty to get hurt?

Diana's voice was light, but it sounded like a challenge in Cecilia's ears.

Smack!

Enraged, Cecilia charged forward and gave Diana a tight slap on her face.

Diana smiled.

"Hit me a few more times," she said as she looked at Cecilia. "If hitting me can help vent your anger, you can do that. I won't retaliate."

Diana's words further infuriated Cecilia, who felt as if she had fallen into Diana's trap. "Do you want me to hit you so you can cancel my engagement with Julian?”

Cecilia drew closer to Diana and leaned into her ear, a smug smile spreading across her face.

"Seeing how much you want me to call off my engagement with Julian, I don’t want that so badly anymore."

"What about Noel? What are you and Noel going to do?” Diana shot back.

"You know about me and Noel?"

Cecilia was stunned for a moment, and her ears turned red. She was still a little girl at heart.

Diana had been too hasty in trying to get Julian and Cecilia together.

The apologetic expression on her face was genuine as she explained, "The looks exchanged between a man and woman in love with each other is very different from that between an ordinary man and woman. I paid close attention to how you and Noel interacted with each other at CoIlina Villa."

Diana tried to persuade Cecilia. "Julian's no longer the man you fancy. Why can't you just let him go?"

"Because I'm crazy," Cecilia said bluntly.
