Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 648

By the time they were done burying Grandma’s ashes, it was already afternoon. They weren’t in a hurry to leave, and instead took a stroll around the place. They even sat down on the bench to enjoy the surroundings. After a while, Diana pointed to a place. “How about over there?”

A hundred meters away from Grandpa and Grandma’s grave.

Although it was a slightly remote area of the Fulcher Cemetery, it was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and was under the shade of trees. Diana loved the spot. “Our babies can play over there.”

They would have a place to rest when they were tired, water to drink when they were thirsty, and a shade spot to hide under when it was too hot.

They would also have Grandpa and Grandma's company as they were right ahead. Their eternal place of rest would be forever warm and safe.

Diana caressed her flat stomach as she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

If her babies were still alive, they would be over four months in gestation. Her stomach would probably start showing.

She didn’t want the burial to be too sorrowful, and immediately stood up the moment she felt the tears in her eyes. She smiled, trying her best to blink the tears away. “It’s a pretty good spot.”

Their babies would surely like it.

“Yes.” Julian instructed someone to bring over the yellow tombstone Diana had personally carved, then took the urn from Diana and placed it in the grave personally. “We’ll let them rest in peace right here.”

From now on, no one would bother them or lay a finger on them.

Diana nodded, and the two of them stayed there a tad longer before returning to their villa.

This time, they decided to stay together and moved back to their previous bedroom.

Diana laid down on the bed as Julian took the spot next to her.

The windows were floor-to-ceiling, and they could see the starry night even while lying in bed.

Ever since Diana lost her babies, stars took on a new meaning for her.

Sorrow filled her heart as she stared at the dark night sky outside the windows.

“If only our babies were still around…” she couldn’t help but lament.

Julian nodded, but didn’t say anything.

Diana turned to look at him, and found that he had fallen asleep.
