Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609

On the other hand, Diana couldn't bring herself to feel happy.

If Julian believed that she was more important.Jt meant he probably didn't have the same obsession with the ashes of their babies as she did.

What if he didn't agree to let Kayla go, and wasn't as determined as her to retrieve the ashes? What should she do, then?

In that case, she could only request what she wanted from him without giving him a reason.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to make him feel more at ease first before bringing up the issue of freeing Kayla.

"How's Grandma?"

Now that Diana had confirmed Julian's safety, she started to worry about the elderly woman she had left in the abandoned area.

"Noel sent a message saying she’s fine," Julian said as he moved closer to the edge of the bed and patted the empty space next to him, motioning for Diana to join him. "Come. Let's rest a while together."

Diana initially wanted to refuse, but she was also eager for some time alone together with him.

"It'll be a tight squeeze. There might not be enough space for you."

Julian shook his head. "It'll be fine."

"Does your wound still hurt?" Diana asked as she lay down carefully, wanting to be close to him but not daring to get too

It had been far too long. They had wasted so much time from their childhood in Yale Village to now.

"Julian..."

Diana's voice was gentle, and she was sorely tempted to tell him about what had happened in Yale Village. When she recalled what Kayla had told her, however, she held back.

"What's wrong?" Julian seemed to sense her uneasiness when she hesitated to speak, and realized that something was wrong. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Yes, she was hiding something from him.

Alas, she couldn't tell him right now.

However, Julian wasn't a man who could be dismissed so easily.

He tilted his head to the side and leaned closer to her ear, gently biting her earlobe as he whispered, "Tell me."

Diana refused to speak, so he bit down again.

Feeling a twinge of pain, she snapped, "Enough."

She moved away slightly and glanced at him with concern in her eyes. "Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet. Lie down properly.
