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.

There was relief and liberation in her voice; at the same time, her words were laced with endless melancholy. “Only then can Kayla be completely at ease.”

Despite everything that had been said, Diana no longer trusted him.
