Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 692

Just then, Simon said, "Your phone’s ringing."

Diana pulled her phone out, and saw that Nina was calling her.

"Where are you?!" Nina sounded particularly anxious. "Mr. Fulcher has been looking for you all day, but now we can't reach him! Did you two meet up or not?"

Diana was taken aback by the information. "Julian was looking for me?"

How could he have been looking for her when she hadn't even received a single phone call?

"Yeah," Nina replied, then briefly told Diana about the events of the evening. "When Vans came to see me, he happened to receive a call from Julian. He wanted Vans to ask me what time you’d be coming home. He thought we were together."

After Nina finished speaking, she paused before asking, "He still hasn't contacted you?"

"No," Diana said, and she quickly looked at her phone. There was one missed call, but it was from an hour ago.

Since then, there hadn't been a call or even a text message.

That was the reason she didn't pay attention to her phone and instead had been discussing with Simon about his blood relationship with Julian.

After thinking for a moment, Diana suddenly understood. "He probably thought I went home."

Tonight was New Year's Eve.

Once it was past midnight, it would be the new year. There was no reason for her to stay outside for too long. Julian must have assumed she would return home soon.

That's why he didn't call again.

She didn't want to stay outside for too long and worry him. And so, she immediately hung up the phone and said goodbye to Simon.

"I need to go home," she said. "Julian’s waiting for me to celebrate the new year."

"Celebrating the new year? What's so great about it?" Simon scoffed. "It's just a bunch of family members sitting together, complimenting each other, and eating and drinking. It's not worth your concern."

"It's not like that," Diana explained. "Julian and I..."

She paused, thinking about the late Madam Fulcher and their two lost babies who had passed away this year.

A painful sensation welled up in her heart, and she said with difficulty, "Julian and I only have each other now."
