Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 687

That look in his face induced pity.

Diana’s heart ached at the sight of it, and she immediately sat next to him. She fixed her eyes on him and asked solemnly, “Julian, what exactly happened?”

Julian evaded her line of sight. There were still abrasion wounds on his knuckles.

Even without his reply, Diana knew that his chat with Oliver didn’t go well.

She immediately grabbed the first-aid kit to help him treat his wound. “Why can’t you talk things through properly?” She was worried that he hit Oliver because of her.

She pondered for a moment before saying, “Even if he’s not who I thought he was, it’s all right.”

Diana looked at Julian and went on, “It’s better that you don’t get hurt.

To us, Oliver can be a friend or a stranger, perhaps even an enemy. I might care and be troubled about the kind of a person he is, but I’ll never be sad about it.”

Her voice was gentle like a breeze in April, comforting to the soul. “But… My heart will ache if you get hurt.”

The look in Julian’s eyes finally gentled upon hearing her words.

He didn’t look so lonely anymore.

Her voice seemed to make his heart bloom.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he was of Diana finding out that he had a younger brother.

Simon Channing…

The illegitimate son of the Channings, a man he had never cared about much, turned out to be his biological brother of the same father but different mother!

Each time Julian recalled this, he felt as if needles were piercing deeply and painfully through his heart.

Seeing the lines on his face gentling out and color returning to him, Diana wanted to know what about their conversation that made Julian react this way. “Where’s the recording?”

But Julian said, “Sorry, I didn’t manage to record it.”

He didn’t want her knowing about his relationship with Simon.

He didn’t want to destroy their vow to love each other in life and be together forever in death, the vow they made before his parents and grandparents’ graves.

The deep love between his parents looked very much like a joke right now.
