Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 973

She must be in great remorse, her heart broken, when she said such words-especially last night.

She probably felt so helpless when he argued with her.

Julian wanted to treat her so well—but somehow, so often, he would inadvertently cause her even more hurt.

“I’m the one to blame,” he said, patting her back gently. “I want to take care of Cecilia because I want to correct the wrong I’ve done, and bear the responsibility that I should.”

That might be right, but if Cecilia had truly gone insane, how long was he going to take care of her for?

What exactly did the Jarvises want from him?

Do they really not want Julian to marry Cecilia and bear the fullest responsibility?

Julian didn’t consider that last night, but Diana did. That was why she wanted to first confirm whether Cecilia had truly gone mad or not.

If it was true, then it was right of Julian to do whatever he could to make it up to the Jarvises.

And yet, she had merely raised a suggestion when Julian started yelling at her.

She shoved him away.
