Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1167

Chapter 1167

Vans was just the son of a mistress. How could he be so arrogant in front of the Stanleys?

"Have I ever told you about my background?"

When Vans returned home, he found Nina standing at the door, struggling to enter the passcode.

She saw him approaching, and her heart ached in pain.

The marks on his face...

She really wanted to ask Vans what had happened.

Didn't he go and propose to Lina? Wasn't he done with Nina? He didn’t want her to pester him anymore, did he?

Now, he appeared before her in such a sorry state, covered in fingerprints and dirty clothes. Who was he trying to impress?

Tears welled up in Nina's eyes, but she quickly wiped them away.

She wasn’t Diana; she couldn't match the latter's composure.

She knew how serious Vans's obsession with cleanliness, and choked back a sob. Yet he seemed wholly unperturbed, even with soup stains on his shirt.

Vans looked at Nina with an apologetic gaze. "Don't cry."

Why should she cry?

Vans even managed to smile.

This was the woman he wanted to marry.

Even in his lowest moments, even when she saw the side of him he least wanted her to see... She would still cry for him.

After hearing those words, Nina couldn't hold back any longer.

Sobbing, she said tearfully, "No... I can't, I can't help it."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she burst into tears.

Her mother always said, "Your job is nothing but intrusive paparazzi work! You have no shame, spying on people's privacy like this! What kind of journalist are you? Don't pretend to be something you're not!"

Despite their arguments, her mother would still send her hometown's delicacies through her dad during holidays.

So, Nina couldn't understand why Diana's parents could be so cruel.

To abandon a child at an amusement park and pretend that the child had run away, all to make room for the mistress's daughter?

Since that incident, Nina had actively avoided anyone with a mistress status, including their children.

She hadn't expected Vans's mother to be one as well, and the realization left her momentarily stunned. She felt like she had been living in a deception all this time.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" she asked.

"Because to me, my mom has always been amazing," Vans replied.

When he spoke of his mother, his expression softened considerably. Even the frown lines on his face seemed milder.

Vans sensed that Nina was considering leaving, so he lifted her up and trapped her between his arms, and kept holding her that way.
