Chapter 1072
Diana hadn't actually seen through his true identity. He was convinced he hadn't left any incriminating evidence
behind.
"I guess I had too high hopes for you." Diana sighed when she saw him persisting.
She clenched her fists, staring at the figure behind the curtain. Ever since he had proposed divorce, she had
become accustomed to giving herself a hundred reasons to believe that Julian loved her.
When she saw the plain meal spread before her, she even imagined he cared for her. She thought he was being
considerate of her and worrying about her health; that he was afraid she would eat something greasy, or if she
hadn't eaten at all. He was expressing his concern in a subtle, consistent manner.

He had hurt her the most.
Yet even today, she couldn't let go of her affection for him. It was a fondness akin to ivy, creeping into every part of
her body over the years; like a natural part of her life, just as necessary as eating and sleeping.
She couldn't help but be attracted to him, even in her amnesiac state; even more so now, especially when so many
memories were flooding back. For her, Julian had endured wounds. He was a major figure, yet he had knelt
before so many people just to gain a bit of information about her.
Didn't he love her?
Diana refused to believe otherwise.
So why... Why wouldn't he come out to meet her now?
Diana clenched her fists again, trying to convince herself once more. She chuckled self-deprecatingly, but had no
intention of giving up.
She took a deep breath, staring openly at the figure behind the curtain. Unfortunately, the curtain's material was
special and allowed only the person inside to see outside.
From Diana's perspective, there was nothing to be seen, not even a silhouette.
If it weren't for his voice and her noticing his shoes as soon as she entered, Diana might have thought she was
alone in the room. She trusted Betty's honesty, and believed in her own intuition and judgment.
Behind this curtain was undoubtedly Mr. Whatever, and that meant Julian.
"I really need you," she confessed candidly, stating her need.
There was still no response from behind the curtain.

"I've just regained my memory today, and I really want to see you," Diana went on. She was almost pleading to
him. She hoped he would step forward and look at her with his deep, affectionate eyes, and call her gently in his
familiar voice.
Just one look or one endearing address from him, and she could reassure herself that his and Cecilia’s engagement
was just a misunderstanding. His willingness to accept the engagement must have been planned from the start.
He couldn't truly be in love with Cecilia.
Perhaps it was all meant to provoke Diana into admitting her feelings for him.
Yet, Julian remained unmoved. He seemed like a lofty judge, ignoring her completely despite her naked sincerity.
Diana had to consider whether she had been mistaken. Perhaps she had been too self-assured.
Three years were enough to change many things.
Maybe Julian had grown tired of her.
Perhaps he genuinely wanted to try things out with Cecilia. Even if Cecilia liked Noel, what did that matter?
