Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 840

Even after that, Julian wasn’t any gentler.

He pulled Diana harder, as if he were hauling something heavy. He was so violent, Diana’s wrists turned red.

The redness was like a special mark that burned a hole in Diana’s heart.

That feeling of being treated so coldly by him…

Was terrible.

She looked at Julian in a daze, as if they had returned to the beginning, when she had just arrived at Richburgh from Stirling City. At that time, Julian was still a complete stranger to her.

Bam!

Diana was pulled into Julian’s embrace so swiftly, he didn’t give Simon a chance to react. He immediately pulled and dragged her into an empty dressing room.

The space was suffocatingly small.

He glared at her, his eyes burning with cold fury.

“Is Simon not enough? Do you need Oliver around to help you reopen your shop too?” He smirked sardonically, his words pinning her down. She had no room for escape.

And so, she was forced to look into his eyes.

“But you ended up getting harassed by Zachary. Now, you want me again.”

His mocking accusations startled Diana.

She couldn’t care less about the pain throbbing at her wrists, and glared at him in disbelief. “Don’t give me that rubbish! I asked for Oliver Channing’s help because I need to pay a debt—Fanny Smith’s debt!”

Her yells made her realize that she had become agitated and emotional.

She tried to compose herself; she lowered her volume and looked apologetically at him. “As for Simon, I called him over today because I had something to ask him.”

Strange…

Why was she so anxious to explain herself to him?

They were already divorced, and they had nothing to do with each other.
