Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1516

Diana was rather worried. “Where did she go?”

Julian tried to calm her down. “I think I know.”

Diana glanced at him, anxious. “Do tell!”

Diana was clearly very worried for Kate, given how anxious she was.

Julian hemmed and hawed, deliberately teasing her. “Tell you? Tell you what?”

He seized the chance while Kate and Betty weren’t around to lean in close to Diana.

Like a huge dog deprived of tender loving care, he rubbed the tip of his nose against Diana’s and deliberately breathed hot air into her face.

“Hmm? Tell me, what do you want me to say?”

They hadn’t been this intimate for a long while.

They had been fighting before Diana came to Jacroaof. After witnessing Jim and Simon’s death, they weren’t in the mood to catch up with and whisper sweet nothings to each other.

It was only until this moment that Julian could no longer hold back his desires for Diana. He missed her badly. He really wanted to draw close to her.

But because of Simon, he didn’t dare to tell her that directly. He was worried that Diana might feel guilty and push him away.

In fact, after seeing Diana, he didn’t dare to look her in the eye. He had to muster up the courage to draw close to her. Somehow, he kept feeling like a sinner.

“Julian,” Diana said, sensing the hesitation in his eyes.

This man was always so firm and determined. “What’s the matter?”

She reached out, and hugged him.

Just like before, whenever Julian felt down, she would patiently pat him on his back.

Anyone who saw them like this wouldn’t bear to interrupt.

“Why?” Diana tried to coax him into sharing his deepest thoughts. “Why do you find yourself selfish?”

“Simon is dead, but I was still thinking dark thoughts… Of whether you would abandon me because of Simon…”

Diana was stunned. Confused, she asked, “Why would you think like that?”

“I think I’ve let him down,” Julian said, assuming that Diana definitely thought that way.

“I do have similar thoughts, but I won’t go to the extent of giving up on you because of my guilt towards Simon. His sacrifice has made me treasure you more,” Diana said.

She was able to hug her lover in such peace because Simon had exchanged for this with his life.

She had no reason not to treasure it!
