Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 479

Love wasn't always at first sight, nor was it a matter of fate. It was those plain and simple moments in daily life that touched the heart and stayed with one forever.

When Julian thought of Diana, the phrase “Love starts from unknown origins and runs deeper” came to mind.

He was no longer worried about when or how he fell in love with Diana, and instead lamented the fact he had lost the right to love her.

A tinge of melancholy laced his handsome features.

Julian let out a small sigh and set the lightbulb aside. Without exposing Kayla's hidden motives, he bent down and picked up the screwdriver from the toolbox before returning to work in silence.

"Done."

He then jumped off the table and said, "Mind if I use your restroom to wash my hands?"

"Julian, there's no need to be so polite between us..."

"Yes, there is," Julian said firmly. "I didn't want to have any contact with you ever again. But you did help Diana with the information you gave me before."

Julian was emphasizing their relationship while warning Kayla not to overstep her boundaries.

Kayla was uncomfortable hearing it, and clenched her fist tightly.

"Okay..."

No matter her thoughts, she would have to submit to Julian's words for the time being.

"But..." Kayla said, her voice slightly louder. "Julian, I really know that I was wrong..."

Her voice hadn't always been this way. Although it was her own doing, Julian's heart wasn't made of stone. He had watched her grow up by his side; there were still some lingering feelings toward her, despite them not being love. However, he still couldn't forgive her; every time he thought about her malicious intentions toward Diana, a wave of uncontrollable anger rushed just underneath his skin, waiting to burst out at any second.

"Knowing you're wrong is a start," Julian said casually. "Now, it's time to control yourself."

She shouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts toward him, nor should she have any toward Diana either.

He was too busy looking outside.

And he saw...Diana standing in the elevator!

She and Nina seemed to be moving, as they had many bags and boxes with them. Were they moving to the twenty-third floor? Wasn't it also the same building Kayla lived in?

"What's our room number again?"

"2302."

Julian quickly looked up at Kayla's door, and realized that 2302 was just above them.

He couldn't help but feel excited again.

It seemed the distance between him and Diana had suddenly become closer.
