Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 774

Simon’s heart skipped a beat.

His throat went dry and his lips turned stiff. “You…recall something?”

Ever since they returned from Stirling City, many of Simon’s behavior and expressions didn’t seem right.

Doubt flashed past Diana’s eyes, but she smiled as if everything was normal. “A little.”

How could that be?!

Simon’s fingers were trembling.

The hypnosis back then…was done by an expert hypnotizer whom Simon had to scour through many contacts before finding him. Unless he hypnotized the person under hypnosis again to release her locked-up memories, it was impossible for the person to regain her memories of her own accord.

That was also one of the reasons why Simon agreed to coming to Richburgh in the first place.

He was absolutely confident that he could keep Diana well within his web of lies and live there her entire life.

However, everything seemed to be unraveling when Julian brought Betty home.

His mind was in a mess, and the tips of his fingers were turning numb. “Is that so? What do you recall?”

“Nothing much,” Diana replied vaguely as she evaded his eyes. It was her first time lying to Simon. “Just minor stuff.”

What minor stuff, exactly?

Simon didn’t dare to ask further.

He simply repeated himself, “You suffered a terrible and painful past, Diana. If you regain those memories, it’ll only make you feel terrible.” He started packing their luggage in his panic as he went on, “Let’s head back to Stirling City.”

As long as they returned to Stirling City and were no longer triggered by their surroundings in Richburgh, Diana surely wouldn’t be able to remember anything!

***

Ever since Diana left, Julian simply sat on the chair, not moving an inch.

There were just too many things that were wrong with Diana.

She talked about being a replacement again today.

She clearly knew how firm his feelings toward her were.

She clearly knew that it was impossible that she was Kayla’s replacement.
