Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 588

She never thought she would feel such affinity for that little deviant!

The last time he sent her back to the villa in the rain, Julian must’ve found a chance to knock some sense into him. That probably resulted in their chance meeting today.

Diana reached her hand out eagerly. “Thank you.”

“Thank me?” Simon’s face fell suddenly, and he even retracted his hand. “What are you thanking me for?”

He had always been a temperamental man.

Diana sensed that something was off, but refused to let go of the only hope she could see. “For getting me out of this place…”

“Getting you out of this place?” Simon furrowed his brows as if confused, and looked helplessly at her. “What’s with you? Do you need my help to get out of this place?”

Given how miserable Diana looked, anyone would be able to guess that she needed help and wasn’t out for a stroll during a vacation.

Yet Simon Channing chose to turn a blind eye to her miserable state.

He clearly didn’t have the intention of saving her.

She decided not to waste her breath and instead save energy by ignoring him.

This woman was interesting indeed.

He had seen her sashay around Julian and being demure and dignified before Oliver. Yet, nothing was as shocking as seeing her like this.

Ugly.

Truly ugly.

Yet, there was still a tinge of resilience between her brows. Her bony shoulders looked weighed down with life’s burdens, but were still stubbornly holding on.

It was a mesmerizing scene to behold.

Simon drew closer to her and pressed hard onto her wounds, making her inhale sharply with pain.

Even so, she refused to make a sound.

She didn’t overreact. That sat well with him.
