Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 660

They were three days away from the last day of the year.

And yet… Julian wasn’t by her side.

Diana was slightly disappointed. She showed him all the things she bought over a video call. “I bought a couple toothbrush set, and I specifically bought this pair of towels with our initials on it! I spent a long time selecting them.

And this, they’re the viral glass chopsticks!

This one, pasting these little red flower stickers on the glass will definitely be beautiful!”

Still, Julian didn’t seem very interested. He didn’t even look up, and simply hummed away perfunctorily.

Diana was getting angry. “Julian!”

She had been sharing with him the things she’d bought, so why didn’t he even bother looking at them?

She even suspected that he didn’t even hear a single word she said!

She was about to flare up when she saw Julian’s brows furrow.

His voice was laced with fatigue as he put on a piteous look on his face. “In order to earn money to feed you, not only did I skip dinner last night, but I didn’t even eat breakfast today.”

Diana was silenced by his look of indignance, and felt helpless at the sight of the man before her/ “I didn’t ask you to skip your meals. You did so because of work…”

“Yes, it’s because of work, that’s what it is,” Julian said in all seriousness. “I have to work in order to earn money so that I can feed you well. What else did you think I meant?”

Diana was completely defeated.

“Diana, I’m really tired.” This was the first time Julian exposed his vulnerabilities to her.

He wasn’t high and mighty, and wasn’t perfect, but it made Diana feel a bit closer to him. “Come back if you’re tired. I’m waiting for you at home.”

Julian felt his eyes grow hot with unshed tears. “I know.”

As long as Diana was at home, no matter how late he returned, there would be a light left switched on for him at the villa.

Warmth blossoming in his heart, Julian said, “In that case, Mrs. Fulcher, can you let me rest for a while?”

Diana naturally couldn’t bear to hang up the video call, but the fatigue on his face made her soften her tone. She asked him the question she wanted to ask the most, “When will you be coming back?”

“Very soon.” Julian lowered his head to pull something. He didn’t even look up, but his voice was firm. “Before the new year. I’ll return before the new year.”
