Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 839

She couldn’t possibly betray Julian.

In fact, even now, despite being deeply hypnotized, she began having feelings for Julian the moment she laid eyes on him.

He could tell from the uneasy and guilty look in her eyes each time she mentioned Julian.

An unwillingness to admit defeat sprang in Simon’s heart, drowning him and his rationale like tidal waves.

Downstairs in the studio, Sean was still waiting for Julian’s answer.

Ever since the incident with Zachary, Sean wasn’t as confident as he used to be.

On the surface, he still retained his cool kid aura.

He was small, but he had loved ones he wanted to protect.

For the sake of Mommy and Betty, he was willing to be rebuked by Julian.

Yet this man, who was a lot taller than him, didn’t look displeased with him.

He even crouched down low and caressed Sean’s head tenderly.

He looked at him with a sympathetic gaze and asked, “Sean, where’s your mommy?”

At that moment, Cecilia could feel a shift in the aura Julian was exuding.

It felt as if there were undercurrents brewing in the air, on the verge of tearing the place apart at the slightest trigger.

However, Sean wasn’t afraid.

He continued looking at Julian, thinking that things were finally looking up. He pulled Julian’s sleeve gently and said, “Mommy’s at the staircase landing talking to Uncle Simon. Mr. Julian, when can we do the DNA test again?”

Julian glanced up toward the second floor. “I’ll discuss that with your mommy.”

He turned around and said to Cecilia, “It’s not convenient for me to accompany you shopping today. When I’m free next time, I’ll pick you up for another date.”

The two of them stood on the staircase landing, stuck in a standstill, gazes locked.

There was an inexplicable air of tension between them.

Julian settled Sean in the room so that he would not hear them fighting. He turned to Diana with a sneer. “Here you are, flirting with another man while making your child find me and lie to me. Good on you, Diana.”

Diana was confused.

Wasn’t Julian behaving normally just now?

Why did he suddenly flare up at her?

Where was Ms. Jarvis?

She instinctively looked around for Cecilia, but Julian suddenly pulled her before she could do so.

At that instant, she lost her balance and fell down the stairs.
