Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 989

To maintain a peaceful relationship between the two, it might be best to avoid mentioning Simon’s existence altogether.

At the very least, Diana should try to downplay Simon’s significance in front of Julian. The fact that he was personally speaking to her now, instead of having Betty relay messages, was already a sign of submission.

She understood this man’s oddities, even though they were often unexplainable. Although his quirks were often a bit puzzling, she could still read him well.

”Sure.” As expected, Julian was being difficult. He refused to give in easily. “Tell me, then. Why are you here?”

Diana was speechless.

She was a bit stifled inside, but she followed his lead and continued, “What’s the deal with these love letters?”

“What could be the deal? Sean’s just popular.” He raised an eyebrow and asked her, “Aren’t you happy? Or do you think Sean is too young for this?”
