Chapter 471
"If you really love me as you say you do, then from now on, please continue to stay away from me and don't
interfere in my life," Diana said calmly.
There was relief and liberation in her voice; at the same time, her words were laced with endless melancholy. "Only
then can Kayla be completely at ease."
Despite everything that had been said, Diana no longer trusted him.
Julian knew that no matter how much he explained himself, it was useless. Thus, he simply nodded. Even though he
was in so much pain that he could barely breathe, he knew he couldn't continue making the same mistakes. He
needed to control his feelings for her.
That was what Diana truly needed.
This time, he would respect her decision.
Unbeknownst to him, there was a hint of disappointment that went unnoticed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDiana saw that Julian had once again drawn the line between them with cruel ease.
He had succeeded.
Kayla would be delighted, wouldn't she?
"You did a good job with Oliver,’ Diana said sarcastically, making those her parting words as she turned to leave.
Julian stood rooted to the spot for a moment, the pain in his chest intensifying by a hundredfold.
The fact Diana had said those words must mean that Oliver was the man she truly loved right now.
A heavy sense of loss drowned Julian. He took a step forward, deliberately breaking one of the umbrella's ribs and
turning it from a perfectly good umbrella into a broken one.
Then, he walked toward Diana in large strides.
Diana could feel the oppressive air from behind her, chasing her.
She subconsciously slowed down, as if she was anticipating something.
"This umbrella's broken, and it suits you better," Julian said, dropping the umbrella into her hands before he left as
quickly as he could, as if he was chased by a ghost. He disappeared into the rain in a flash.
He would remember her words.
Don't meet her. Don’t interfere with her life.
Giving her the umbrella would be the last time he interfered in her life.
Diana clenched the umbrella handle, which still seemed to carry the warmth of his touch. However, the same
warmth was soon blown away by the autumn rain, leaving behind only the coolness of the wind.
Raindrops fell from the top of the broken umbrella, hitting Diana in the corner of her eye. She blinked lightly, and a
string of droplets fell down her cheeks.
Diana stared at Julian's retreating back and slowly opened her mouth to call out, ’Julian."
"Hmm?’
Julian turned, a small hint of desperate greed in his eyes. How nice it would be if she asked him to stay...
Unfortunately, she didn't.
Diana's grip on the broken umbrella tightened, and she smiled sweetly underneath it. For a moment, her smile even
looked sincere.

It was the final blow that finally shattered his heart.
Julian's poker face cracked even more; after a long while, his voice seemed to come from a far-off place that even
he couldn't identify.
"Mm."
Julian had replied.
In the end, he would really marry Kayla.
Diana's final attempt had failed.
She lifted her head and tried to look up at the sky. If the water droplets that rained down on her face had increased,
no one would know.
After Oliver returned home, he didn't go straight to bed. Something was strange about the incident today; if he
didn't get to the bottom of it, he wouldn't be able to sleep in peace.
After all, it was related to Diana. He feared his family was involved.
But strangely, since he disappeared from the old mansion, there had been no trace of him. Even his car had
disappeared without a trace, and was miraculously found around his residence.
