Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1046 So that was why Julian looked so cold when he answered the video call.

Then... Why did Noel have to send her the emerald? Perhaps Julian wanted to use it not to reconcile with her, but to draw a clear boundary between them? Diana suddenly felt embarrassed.

It turned out she wasn't the only one who wanted to give up; Julian wanted to give up too.

Even Layla, a mere bystander, found it exhausting.

Diana and Julian, the parties involved in the relationship, were tired and wanted to give up.

It was normal.

Diana...shouldn't have made this video call today.

“It's nothing.

I'm hanging up now," she suddenly said.

The phone screen went black.

Julian's gradually widening smile instantly vanished.

Bang! He smashed the phone to pieces.
