Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1071

Diana felt somewhat relieved, and continued toward the next station for her transfer.

Unbeknownst to her, Julian was sitting across from her and observing from a distance. He was afraid of being noticed when she got closer.

Diana had appeared uneasy on the subway earlier, constantly looking around. Julian was cautious not to get too close, but he had still arranged for a bodyguard to follow Diana.

She had encountered trouble on the subway before. Moreover, what happened with Matt had yet to be completely resolved. Julian couldn't let Diana go without someone watching over her.

As for himself, he exited the subway station and got into a black Rolls-Royce. He arrived at the agreed-upon location ahead of Diana.

Just like before, he chose a private room with curtains. The cuisine here was light, and a suitable diet for her recuperation. As for the curtains, they would provide a solid barrier between him and Diana, separating the two of them even though they were in the same room. Each would dine in their own space, though they were in the same room.

When Diana entered, her first glance went to Mr. Whatever's feet. The shoes he wore were exactly as Betty had described!

She couldn't comprehend why Julian insisted on meeting her in disguise.

"Did you hear what Shiloh Stewart said? Is the real reason I left three years ago why you were afraid to meet me?" Diana asked on the spot, offering the most reasonable explanation she could think of.
