Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Diana slowly shut her eyes…

Grandma.

Her grandma, who doted on her so much and was still so concerned about her even until before she passed away!

It had been three years.

She had never paid her respects to Grandma, not even once!

She had forgotten about Grandma completely!

There were also Aster and Star, the thorn in her heart. To think that one measly pill could make her forget so much!

She was their mother.

If she forgot about them, who would remember them?

Aster, Star… Mommy had never remembered you or visited you in the past three years. Are you two crying in heaven?

Memories continued resurfacing in Diana’s mind.

They pierced through the haze in her head, over and over again.

She stubbornly hung on, thinking of herself as a sponge, absorbing all the memories that had been locked up for a long time.

The next person she remembered was Kayla.

Kayla, who had hurt Diana so much. Yet, Julian defended her time and time again!

Despite knowing that Kayla eventually went to jail and suffered a horrendous outcome that she least wanted, Diana inevitably felt sorrow over the memories that resurfaced in her mind.
