Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 612

As it turned out, Diana couldn't move on either way.

She and Julian truly understood one another, and their hearts were intertwined.

It wasn't like any random person could shake or sever their connection.

At this moment, when Oliver saw the undeniable joy in her eyes upon saying he was giving up on her, a wrenching sensation gripped his heart.

Iron barbs pierced through his heart and lungs, digging out the years of longing, and...

Since their first meeting in Yale Village, it seemed like his feelings for her were destined to be a one-sided show.

And now, this act was finally coming to an end. He couldn't bear to interfere in her happiness or be a burden to her.

"Let's be friends from now on," Oliver said, stretching out his hand to her without any further explanation.

Diana also reached out, and their fingertips almost touched before Oliver withdrew his hand.

That was enough. He had said everything he needed to.

The greatest respect for her existing feelings and love was the consistent tenderness and love he had shown her.

Diana could feel his sincere feelings, and she couldn't stop her eyes from reddening.

"Oliver," Diana called out, stepping forward a little as the man walked away. "Be careful of Simon."

Where had that come from?

Oliver turned to look at her in confusion, but a sharp look flashed in his usually gentle eyes in the next second.

"Has he contacted you again?"

The last time Oliver had seen Simon and warned him off, he hadn't expected Simon to approach Diana again.

Diana had never seen Oliver look so alert and sharp before. It was as if a blade that had been hidden for a long time had finally emerged, shining with a cold clarity like the morning sun.

Perhaps realizing that the burning intensity in his eyes had startled her, Oliver gathered himself and gentled his tone slightly. "Has he hurt you?"

He hadn't harmed her, at least, not to the extent Oliver was probably thinking. In fact, Simon had helped Diana escape from the warehouse, allowing her to witness Julian kneeling on the ground.
