Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1124

Chapter 1124

Under these circumstances, Julian really shouldn’t leave.

But Cecilia was crying so hard over the phone, Julian was worried her condition might relapse. That would render all his hard work over the past few days useless.

"Diana," he said, trying to discuss things with her, yet not answering her directly.

Diana didn’t care for it. She stared at him, clearly waiting for a clear answer.

"All of you are very important to me," Julian said, knowing that the twins weren't the only ones hurt and needed comfort.

Diana needed comforting, too.

He knew exactly how important the twins were to her.

Until now, she didn’t dare to look at the mark she left on his face from the slap.

Rather than saying she was trying to make things difficult for Julian, it was more accurate to say that Diana was clinging to him as the only lifeline that could help her regain her sanity.

When it was needed, she could ask him to pay closer attention to the kids. She could then stand behind him and give herself time to adjust.

She was scared of facing Sean. Rather than abating, her guilt was getting stronger with time.

"But now, things with Cecilia are important for me to deal with, too," Julian said. "I have to solve the problem there before I can return and focus on being with all of you."

"Must you go?"

"I must.”

Diana took a deep breath. "Do you love me?"

No one there expected to hear that question from Diana.

Even Julian was stunned.

He glanced quickly at the twins and back at Diana before saying, "I do."

His love was firm and unyielding.

His answer was determined and certain.

Diana nodded.

She was glad that Julian's reply didn't disappoint her and the twins.
