Julian’s Stand-In Wife

“If you really love me as you say you do, then from now on, please continue to stay away from me and don’t interfere in my life,” Diana said calmly.

Julian knew that no matter how much he explained himself, it was useless. Thus, he simply nodded. Even though he was in so much pain that he could barely breathe, he knew he couldn’t continue making the same mistakes. He needed to control his feelings for her.
