Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1009

Diana clenched her fist tighter. Her hands started sweating, making them clammy.

Julian’s gaze revealed his displeasure. “What about Simon? If I live well with Cecilia, what about you? What about your Simon?”

He insisted on an explanation from her.

“It’s fine,” Diana said. “He’s taken care of.”

“Are you going to move out of the villa to care for him? Are you going to leave Richburgh?” he pressed.

Diana intended to move out of the villa, but not to leave Richburgh. Yet, Julian’s question seemed to align with what Simon had asked her during lunch that day.

When Simon asked, it was acceptable. But when Julian did, it sounded like he assumed she would leave with Simon.

Did he really distrust her so much? Did he truly believe she had feelings for Simon?

Suddenly irritated, Diana replied unhappily, “Where I go is none of your concern. Moving out of the villa is a given. I don’t want to be a bother to you all. Who knows, I might end up dead in the middle of the night if I stayed.”

This was a sarcastic reference to when Cecilia had dragged her on the floor in the middle of the night, which had been conveniently forgotten.
