Chapter 928
He instinctively felt that he wouldn’t be able to stay the night if he acted otherwise.
If he couldn’t stay the night, he didn’t know when he would have the chance to step foot through this
door once more.
If he couldn’t be with them and be at his best, how would he be able to appease Diana and Sean’s
anger?
He needed to find a chance to exin why he gave Kiki flowers, and picked on Sean at his
kindergarten.
Today was crucial.
He would never leave Betty’s room.
As for Betty, she could sleep with Diana.
He would also buy a whole new set of bedsheets for her tomorrow, to rece the set that he slept on
tonight.
Diana couldn’t fling off Julian’s hand, no matter how hard she tried. His grip was as strong as an
elephant nose curling around a human’s hand. Not only was it impossible to shake him off, but he even
started rubbing his face against her arm like a disgusting leech!
No.
It wasn’t just her arm.
He was getting from bad to worse, rubbing his face from her arm to her wrist.
He went further downward, and grabbed her other hand.
“Diana, don’t leave me.” Julian put his face in her palms, looking up at her pitifully with those bloodshot
eyes. “Don’t hate me, either.”
He had never fallen in love with another woman aside from her.
Even if he had positive feelings for another woman, it remained strictly limited to finding the other
person rather decent. Otherwise, he couldn’t have done something as heartless as sshing paint on
Cecilia.
“Kiki,” he said. “I treated her well simply because I want to fish information from her.”
“Fish information?” Diana was stunned.
She immediately responded by pushing his face away. However, he was still rubbing against her palm.
“Quit telling tall tales. I won’t fall for it this time,” Diana snapped. “You have reasons for being nice to
other women. In the future, you’ll always have your reasons.”
She did like him, and she couldn’t control herself from being attracted to this man-as if it were out of
habit. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t stop herself from drawing closer to him.
Julian caught on the hidden meaning behind her words. “In the future? Are you still thinking of a future
between us?”
Though she was angry, the situation wasn’t unsalvageable.

Even Diana didn’t realize that her thoughts had been exposed by Julian. She became annoyed with
embarrassment.
“Julian Fulcher, are you quite done pretending that you’re drunk?”
“Pretending that I’m drunk?” Julian shook his head, looking innocently at her. “I’m not pretending to be
drunk.”
He shamelessly rubbed his face against her hand once again.
This time, he clung on her so tightly that she couldn’t fling him away, no matter how hard she tried. Not
just that-he even went a step further and pulled her to the bedside, urging her to sit.
The bed was warm. Diana felt as if she had fallen into the furnace just by standing at the bedside.
His warmth invaded her personal space. The temperature was so high, she could feel her pores
opening up, making her itch and her hair stand on end. It was as if curling herself up into a ball was the
only way she could feel safe from his attack.
That was precisely what Julian wanted.
He moved his face and stered it on her back as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Just as Diana thought he was going to take advantage of her, he mumbled, “Does it still hurt?”
Diana was stunned.
“The scar from the caesarian,” he mumbled, sounding troubled. “I don’t have the courage to touch it a
second time.”
In fact, each time he thought of it, he hated himself for not being by her side and sharing her pain when
she was giving birth.
In fact…
When she returned to Richburgh with such a heavy burden on her shoulders, he didn’t even embrace
her. Instead, he refused to believe her and misunderstood her time and time again.
He was scared.
He was scared that she wouldn’t forgive him.
