Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1129

Chapter 1129

Diana still needed to go meet Mrs. Jarvis—Sue Chimmery.

Julian, of course, was wholly unwilling.

"No way."

Earlier, Diana had wanted to see Cecilia alone. When she came out, she ended up looking like this. Julian couldn't bear the thought of Diana meeting Sue.

"Relax," Diana reassured him, aware of his concerns. She urged Julian in the direction of the parked car. "I won't hurt myself again. I'm not so foolish as to indulge in self-torture."

In reality, she just wanted to make amends for her guilt while negotiating with Cecilia. Her goal had been achieved. Continuing to harm herself would only make the children notice, and she couldn't do that to them.

"Give me some time with Sue," Diana persuaded Julian once more. "I don't want to see you at Cecilia's beck and call anymore."

She tugged at a corner of his clothes, and continued, "Let's resolve everything that needs to be resolved today, alright?"

Julian's face remained tense. He still didn't want to relent. At this point, he no longer believed Diana's words.

But then, she hugged him. "Julian, trust me this once, okay?"

She nestled against his chest, listening to the rhythmic beating of his strong heart. She continued softly, "If you don't let me deal with what I’ve caused in the first place, I’ll carry this burden forever."

Her words showed that she still blamed herself.

Julian understood Diana. He finally gave in, and said, "You're perfect, except that you're too stubborn."

She chuckled.

Julian continued, "But with me around, you could have entrusted everything to me."

Yet, she insisted on taking the blame upon herself.

Hearing him say this, Diana knew Julian had relented. He was afraid that if he didn't agree, she would hurt herself again.
