Chapter 1016
Diana was speechless.
She had clearly abided by the rules. How did she suddenly become someone with so many shortcomings in Julian's
eyes?
She stopped, and forcefully pulled her hand away from his grasp. "Can you please stop bringing up that night?"
After taking the pill he had Layla deliver, she felt regret.
But more than that, she felt shame!
She had actually taken the initiative to be intimate with such a scumbag who made her take morning-after pills!
She despised herself.
And yet, back then...
Her body was beyond her control, and was irresistibly drawn to Julian with an inexplicable infatuation.
"What's wrong?" His hand landed on her lower abdomen." Are you pregnant?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Julian!"
She was genuinely angry now.
Angry that he would ask this question, even though he knew it was impossible. Angry that he had her take that pill,
yet was asking her this on purpose!
He was rubbing salt in her wounds, making her suffer in silence.
He stubbornly held her hand, refusing to allow her to distance herself from him. "Did you misunderstand
something? That pill was folic acid."
Although she couldn’t remember, Julian was slowly making amends for the things he had done wrong before.
For the regrets she had harbored.
For example...
Birth control pills and folic acid.
In the past, he knew she wanted to get pregnant. Yet, he had swapped her folic acid pills with long-acting birth
control pills, which she had taken for so long.
Even though she still loved him now, she refused to admit it.
So, he lent her a hand.
Planting a fake birth control pill in her heart using folic acid, he made her ponder his intentions every day.
In that instant, Diana's face displayed a multitude of emotions. She was surprised, taken aback, and slightly
delighted. Then she realized the awkwardness of her current emotions, and stared at him in a daze.
"Folic acid pills?"
He hadn't given her birth control pills? She had taken folic acid pills?
"Yes," Julian replied. "Emergency contraceptives can be harmful to the body. I wouldn't let you take them.
Besides..."
He leaned down and placed his ear near her stomach. "Even if it happened, what's the big deal? We'd just have the
baby."
He was even looking forward to it.
"When you gave birth before..." he said, his voice quivering slightly. This unexpected vulnerability made Diana, who
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad initially come to confront him, utterly flustered.
"I wasn't there with you during your delivery. That was my biggest regret. I missed out on watching our two little
ones grow, and I let you bear so much on your own. It was a dereliction of my duty as a father."
He looked up, baring her concerns. "I know you don't object to the idea of getting pregnant again."
Otherwise, she would have found her own morning-after pills to take.
At the very least, she wouldn't be so furious at mistakenly taking folic acid for birth control.
In truth...
Diana only wanted to lead a normal life with Julian and have another child together.
Once, he had missed out on her nine months of pregnancy, the delivery, and the countless days and nights of
raising their children.
This wasn't just Julian's regret; it was Diana's as well.
Why not have another child?
Having another child would allow Julian, who deeply loved her, to heal the wounds of those painful times. It would
also give Diana a chance to once again experience the process of nurturing life together with her beloved.
However...
