Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 704

On New Year’s Eve, the person Diana had met at the Channing residence wasn’t Oliver. Plus, the meeting certainly wasn’t as important as Julian had thought.

She just went to meet Simon to hear about a secret involving Julian. But this secret… Diana looked up at him, and the ache in her heart settled like a spider’s web. It wrapped around her heart and was deeply rooted in her core, as if it had woven a trap in her life.

She couldn’t afford to be rash and tell Julian the true reason for her absence on New Year’s Eve.

Diana swallowed hard as she anxiously explained to him, “It was wrong of me to lie, Julian, but I had my reasons. I had no choice.”

Her own stupidity prevented her from immediately finding a tactful way to inform him, to minimize the impact of Simon’s situation on Julian.

“After your birthday,” Diana suddenly said as her eyes brightened. “After your birthday, I promise I’ll tell you everything!”

Just give her a few more days. She was certain she could properly disclose this matter to Julian. She admitted…

Julian’s heart loosened for a bit, then tightened abruptly. Diana was still keeping secrets. Was speaking about what happened on New Year’s Eve difficult? Did she need more time to weave more lies before she could come clean?

He decided not to press further to avoid humiliating himself.
