Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1139

Chapter 1139

She couldn't bear to see the scars on his hands, and her mood had noticeably soured. To distract her, Julian shifted the conversation to Noel.

"Have you figured out how to persuade Noel? Will he really accept Cecilia?"

Diana instantly perked up at the mention of this topic. "I've already persuaded him."

Julian was skeptical. "...You've already persuaded him?"

They had been together the whole time, and Diana hadn't had a chance to speak with Noel. How could she have persuaded him?

"Yes," Diana replied confidently. "He's already met Cecilia."

As she spoke, Diana took out her phone and showed Julian a picture. "Look, Cecilia sent this to me. They took this photo not long ago."

While Julian was engrossed in examining the photo, Diana said, "I have to admit, Noel’s quite crazy. After he finally came to terms with everything, he didn't even care about Sue anymore. He went straight to where Cecilia was staying, and shouted with a loudspeaker, 'Cecilia, I love you!'"

Diana vividly described the situation, as if she had been there herself.

Seeing Julian's furrowed brows and evident confusion, she quickly explained, "I received a call from Cecilia when I was buying the ice packs just now. She told me about it."

Julian asked, "Even after she hit you so many times, you don't hate her at all?"

He found it incredible that their relationship had become so friendly.

"There was never any love or hatred between us, really," Diana explained. "Cecilia... She treated me poorly before, but it was well-deserved."

Diana admitted that she had been overly presumptuous at the beginning. Cecilia would never have fallen ill if it weren’t for her meddling.

"But now, everything between us is water under the bridge," Diana said. She felt that the slaps she received were worth it. "She's quite straightforward."

"She is," Julian agreed, recalling what Cecilia had told him earlier. He repeated it for Diana. "She even said some really harsh things about me in front of me, like she was blind for liking me..."

He sounded quite upset, almost as if he were complaining to Diana.

Diana was amused. "Really?"
