Nina mentioned the Jenningses. “The Jennings family is gone overnight, just like that.”Diana wasn’t shocked.She guessed that Julian had wanted to do that for a while. Not just for her and to seek justice for the Lemmington family, but also for Simon.Although Julian never allowed Simon to call him his brother, he had wanted to annihilate everything that was involved with the Hughes family since Simon’s death.Him making his move on the Jenningses indicated that the time had come.“Congratulations,” Diana said to Nina. “Has Vans come back to you?”“No,” Nina said with a shake of her head. “Lina Jennings isn’t the only thing standing in between us. We have problems of our own to overcome.”Diana sighed. “I think Marcus is pretty good.”She felt relaxed and comfortable around him.Even if Vans came round and worked with Julian to bring down the Jenningses, and had no feelings whatsoever for Lina, Diana wasn’t exactly eager to be with him.As if they had telepathy with each oth
He blurted those words instinctively.He had been waiting so long for a pair of daughters, yet when the doctor came over, he saw a pair of sons instead.Diana thought the hospital must have made a mistake and kicked up a fuss, insisting that she had a pair of daughters. She insisted for them to check the footage from the surveillance camera to see if there was a mix-up. The culprit, Julian, could only stand guiltily at a corner and mumble, “Actually…sons are fine too.”As long as it was their children, it didn’t matter whether they were girls or boys. Either way, Diana was the only woman he loved his entire life. Even his love for his only daughter Betty didn’t match up to that.After witnessing Diana giving birth, Julian’s love for Diana went up a notch, to the point of paranoia.For the rest of their lives, he made sure to never let her worry or touch cold water.He took great care of her.Kate finally appeared two years after Diana gave birth.When the mother and daughter
“Life is all about reconciliation.” Decades passed in the blink of an eye. Diana’s children had all grown up.Kate and Isaac had both passed away. Even Diana’s old friends, Fanny and Oliver, had left the world too.Fanny was never able to get pregnant again after that rainy night. She had gradually let go of her desire to get pregnant under Oliver’s persuasion.They stayed relentlessly by each other’s side, albeit childless. Over the years, having experienced all that life had to offer and being each other’s best friend, Oliver died on a peaceful night, never awaking again.Fanny held his hand while sending him off, and closed her eyes forever as well.Diana had seen too many people off in her lifetime.She had grown old herself, too. She could see her life slowly ebbing away.“Julian, I’m so happy to have lived my life with you.” She had transformed from a disgraced young woman to Mrs. Fulcher, respected by all in Richburgh. Julian even took care of her in person when she
“Congratulations, you’re pregnant,” the doctor said.Diana Winnington raised her head in surprise. Her face flushed red in no time.She was actually pregnant?!After three years of marriage, she was finally expecting her and Julian Fulcher’s child. Elated, Diana couldn’t wait to share the good news with him.However, there was no answer when she called. After she asked her driver, she found out that Julian had gone back to the Fulcher Manor on the outskirts of the city to hold a banquet today.Banquets held at the Fulcher Manor were usually private, so Diana presumed that the guests invited were their common friends. Julian usually pampered her, so Diana thought nothing of it and grabbed her coat before she headed to the Fulcher Manor without hesitation.Diana stroked her lower abdomen as she couldn’t help smiling along the way.She got out of the car immediately as soon as she arrived at the Fulcher Manor but was stopped by Albert outside the door. Albert was an old butler
Julian felt heartbroken as he thought of how Kayla had repeatedly sneaked glances at him at the banquet just now. Yet, she hadn't dared meet his eyes at all. Three years ago, when Diana took the initiative to reunite with her parents, she broke the peace the Winnington family had for eighteen years. Kayla, who was adopted after Diana was lost at the age of three, got drawn into the mess. Her excessive anxiety had triggered her stomach cancer.However, Julian didn’t know anything back then.He only knew that Kayla went abroad alone, so he began looking for her like crazy for a whole month, but he never heard any news from her. He took it as a signal that Kayla wanted to break up with him. Therefore, in a fit of rage he married Diana, who looked very similar to Kayla. Three years later, he finally found out that Kayla had been suffering from stomach cancer but endured it alone for fear that the truth would distress him. For the past three years, Diana had enjoyed everything tha
Her leg hurt, but her heart hurt even more.Instantly, she broke into tears. Julian felt the coldness on his hand. When he looked up at Diana, he was distraught.Why was she still crying?!Had… had he really hurt her?Just as he was about to speak, he saw a bruise on her right leg from the corner of his eye.Before he could ask her, Diana blurted out, “Julian, it hurts… It hurts…”‘Julian, it hurts.’It was as if all rational thoughts had flown out the window once he processed those words.“Are you a fool?” he scolded angrily. “Why are you only saying it until now?!”With that, he quickly carried her in a princess style and shouted loudly at Albert, who was standing next to him. “Hurry up and bring the medical kit here!” Diana didn’t have a good constitution.Perhaps it was her experience during her childhood that led to her malnutrition, which left a negative impact on her body. If she had a cold, her condition could develop from a common cough to asthma. Ordinary peop
As her thoughts ran wild, Diana suddenly felt a cool feeling on her legs. She lowered her head and saw that it was Julian, who was applying ointment for her.His indifference when he mentioned the divorce was gone, and he was basically half-kneeling on the ground in order to find the most comfortable angle for her. It was very difficult for his long legs to be between the ground and the edge of the bed.Yet, he was still as elegant as ever.His fingertips were slightly cold, but she could feel his hot breaths when he said, “Remember to apply the ointment three times a day in the future.”He wouldn’t be helping her anymore.Diana caught on to the implication behind his words, but she couldn’t tell whether she felt happy or bitter at this moment.She hurriedly looked away lest her reluctance would be revealed. She pretended to be calm and said, “I got it.”There was no reason she wouldn’t do things good for her. “Albert.” Julian heaved a sigh of relief for no reason when he hear
As if he was desperately holding himself back from exploding in anger, Julian spoke extremely fast and interrupted Diana, “Fine!”He slammed the door and called for his assistant, Noel Carter. “Get the lawyer over to listen to her conditions!”Julian wanted to see how much she would use the divorce to her own benefit.Noel did not dare to speak and could only contact the lawyer overnight. Meanwhile, Julian drove out alone.He knew Diana didn’t like to be alone, so he had never left her home all by herself.The two of them had never argued like this before.The sound of him slamming the door still rang in Diana’s ears. She was briefly shaken, and it took her some time before she returned to her senses.For a moment, she wanted to go after Julian. She wanted to tell him that she did not want a divorce… that she wanted to stay by his side. However, she understood that some things could not be reversed. From the moment he hid the banquet from her, and from his sudden change of att
