Chapter 499
But if Julian had taken Kayla and left back then, things might not have ended well. Besides, he had assumed that
Diana preferred Oliver's company to his.
Now, it was too late to say anything.
Julian felt regret coursing through him once more.
At this moment, Kayla approached him. The wound on her face had been wrapped properly, and there wouldn't be
any scars due to the timely treatment she had received. However, blood was still seeping through the bandages,
and the sight was frightening.
"Julian," Kayla said gently as she placed a cup of coffee on the table. "Have a drink."
For so many days, Kayla had stayed quietly in the background, making coffee for him without complaining or
arguing with him. As Julian had always been with her the entire time, he was unable to imagine Kayla having the
time to do anything to Diana.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe only explanation for Diana's outburst was because Kayla had drugged Diana when she was pregnant, and that
she hadn't been able to let go of it.
"I apologize," Julian said on behalf of Diana. "Diana didn't mean to do it. Don't take it to heart."
Didn't mean to do it?!
After being stabbed so many times, how was Kayla not supposed to take it to heart?
If there was a mirror right now, Kayla would be able to see the ugly, twisted expression on her face. She was
extremely jealous of Diana...to the point she regretted going abroad three years ago.
"I know," Kayla replied despite her anger inside. In front of Julian, she could only meekly bow her head and say
sweetly, "Diana must've been in a bad mood."
Julian heard the implications behind her words, and shot her a warning look. "Of course, anyone would find it hard
to let go of the fact that their own sister drugged them during their pregnancy and indirectly caused the death of
their children."
Kayla hadn't even said anything, yet Julian was already jumping in to defend Diana this much.
Kayla could feel her heart getting torn in half. If she had been obsessed with getting the position of Mrs. Fulcher
before, now, Julian had become part of her obsession.
The only reason was because his heart now belonged to Diana.
Kayla desired everything that belonged to Diana. Everything Diana had, she wanted it in her hands!
"Julian..." Kayla said softly, her head still bowed, hiding the fury in her eyes. "I know I was wrong about drugging
Diana..."
And of course, she was also wrong for digging up the babies' grave.
Kayla's lips curled into a mocking smile that went unseen by Julian as she whispered meekly, "I deserve whatever
Diana does to me."
"As long as you know that," Julian said with a sigh. As usual, he didn't touch the cup of coffee she had brought for
him.
He was always cautious about what he ingested whenever he was in Kayla's presence. He was afraid of being set
up by Kayla again and getting involved with her, as he had done before.

Julian stood on the balcony, waiting for Diana to come back and turn on the lights.
Finally, after what seemed forever... She returned.
Julian heard the sounds of movements above him, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fearing Diana would notice him
below on the balcony, he immediately returned to the room.
"Sir," Noel said as he followed behind Julian like a shadow. "Would you consider...pursuing madam again?"
As the saying goes, a fair maiden was worth a gentleman's pursuit.
Why could Oliver pursue Diana, but Julian couldn’t?
Julian seemed completely stumped by the question.
It wasn't as if he had never considered the idea before. In fact, when Noel first told him that Oliver was the one
pursuing Diana and not the other way around, he entertained the thought of going after her.
However, he didn't know what Diana's answer to Oliver was.
At this point, Julian didn't dare to act rashly, let alone speculate Diana's thoughts.
The more he guessed, the more he was wrong.
And the more he was wrong...the more Diana would be repulsed by him.
