Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 698

"I..." Diana opened her mouth, but her thoughts were a tangled mess.

Oh no.

Standing before the pile of unbaked pastries that had already turned into a large clump, she realized that Julian was truly angry.

As for the superstition of eating a pastry with a coin inside, it was completely baseless.

Yet… He was furious.

Not only did he wait for her all night, but he also had the patience to listen to her rambling and finish the phone call with her.

The more Diana thought about it, the more distressed and anxious she felt.

She wished she could ask the servants at home: How do I appease my ex-husband when he's upset? I need to know right now!

She didn’t know that Julian wasn't angry.

He was disappointed.

Disappointed in Diana, in love, in his parents, and in his grandmother.

His heart seemed to have withered, incapable of regaining any life.

He couldn't even describe the awful sensation. He didn't want to see anyone, and everything seemed meaningless—even Diana. He didn't want to guess as to why she stayed at the Channing residence and lied to him.

Tired.

So, so tired.

Julian closed his eyes as he lay in his office chair, and was silent for a long time.

Meanwhile, Diana waited for him at the villa for a long time, but he still didn't return.

She didn't want to call him again.

She feared she would be forced to lie again if they got into another discussion. The lie she told last night troubled her all day.

As for how to appease him...

Diana thought for a long time, and decided to take the necessary documents for remarriage and go to Fulcher Inc. to see him.

The driver's eyes lit up. "Thank you, ma’am!"

Generous customers like her were hard to come by.

Now in a good mood, he couldn't help but strike up a conversation. "Why are you headed for Fulcher Inc. today, ma’am?"

Today is New Year's, so everyone should have the day off, right?

"Oh!" Diana's smile widened, feeling even more convinced that bringing the documents to see Julian was the right decision. "I'm here to marry the love of my life!"

The driver was taken aback. "Your beloved works at Fulcher Inc.?"

Not only did he work there, but he also managed the entire Fulcher Inc!

In that instant, Diana suddenly felt a sense of pride and nodded. "Yes, he's very hardworking and diligent."

It was why he didn't miss the opportunity to work even on a day like today, putting in all his effort and diligently working.

Diana imagined him in a suit, earnestly handling documents with his head down, and her heart throbbed even harder.
