Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 687

That look in his face induced pity.

Diana’s heart ached at the sight of it, and she immediately sat next to him. She fixed her eyes on him and asked solemnly, “Julian, what exactly happened?”

Julian evaded her line of sight. There were still abrasion wounds on his knuckles.

Even without his reply, Diana knew that his chat with Oliver didn’t go well.

She immediately grabbed the first-aid kit to help him treat his wound. “Why can’t you talk things through properly?” She was worried that he hit Oliver because of her.

She pondered for a moment before saying, “Even if he’s not who I thought he was, it’s all right.”

Diana looked at Julian and went on, “It’s better that you don’t get hurt.

To us, Oliver can be a friend or a stranger, perhaps even an enemy. I might care and be troubled about the kind of a person he is, but I’ll never be sad about it.”

Her voice was gentle like a breeze in April, comforting to the soul. “But… My heart will ache if you get hurt.”

The look in Julian’s eyes finally gentled upon hearing her words.

He didn’t look so lonely anymore.
