Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 443

When Nina saw the stunned and hesitant look on Diana's face, she pressed further. "Do you have any proof that Mr. Whatever is related to Julian?"

"No," Diana replied. "It's just a gut feeling..."

"Feelings are just that, and it's not facts," Nina reassured Diana. "You're in the early stages of your business, so you have to take good opportunities when they come. And even if Julian had something to do with it, what could he force you to do? Make you submit? Remarry him?"

"That's impossible," Diana said, looking at Nina in shock. "After all that's happened, can't you see I'm just a dispensable pet in his eyes that he plays with whenever he likes? I'm not his true love. Kayla is."

This was a matter that Diana had repeatedly reminded herself after the divorce.

"But I'm sick of this uncomfortable feeling he gives me whenever he plays with me," Diana added.

"Diana, you haven't been able to forget him nor stop loving him," Nina said with a sigh. "You just can't stop caring about him, and that's why you keep thinking he has something to do with things, whether they go smoothly or not."

Diana was taken aback by her friend's words. "Really?"

"Yes."

When she had spoken to Oliver back then, he had advised her to just let things with Julian take their natural course.

"I guess I'm still too uptight about it," Diana muttered after pondering about it for a moment.

"That's normal too. After all, you loved him for three whole years, and you even conceived two babies with him. Even though they're no longer... Regardless, no one can replace those experiences between the two of you," Nina said.

In short, they've been through so much together that it's almost impossible to separate from him entirely.

"But I haven't forgiven him," Diana said, realizing this and feeling distressed. "As long as he doesn't resolve things with Kayla and Mr. Carter, I'll despise him every day. But... Why do I still think about him and involuntarily connect everything with him?"

"Letting things take their natural course isn't enough. You need a new man," Nina said, not wanting Diana to dwell on the issues of the babies. "I think Oliver isn't bad. Have you considered giving him a try?"
