Julian was silenced by Diana’s remark.
He couldn’t utter a word, and could only wait for Diana to make the call.
The key was that she didn’t want him to hear the conversation, and purposely went to the balcony to talk.
This made Julian incredibly curious, and he couldn’t help but wonder what Diana had said.
“How did it go?” he asked as soon as Diana finished her call and returned.
“Fanny agreed to help,” she told Julian. “Tomorrow, we’ll have dinner on the top floor of SK Mall. There’s a new
Japanese restaurant there, and it’s very private.”
If Sue had someone tailing Cecilia, they could avoid being detected in there.
“Let Noel know the time and place. We’ll meet at SK Mall tomorrow,” Diana instructed.
Julian nodded, and kissed her cheek.
“Honey, you’re amazing,” he said, then held her shoulders and asked, “But when did I remember her being your

“When did you become so close to Oliver?” Diana retorted. “I’ve heard your phone conversations many times, you
know.”
“It started when we shared a common secret,” he confessed. “Honey, as for Fanny… When you meet her
tomorrow, please, whatever you do…”
“I know!” Diana assured him.
She wasn’t that heartless to break up someone else’s family without warning. The problems between Fanny and
Oliver weren’t her concern.
Julian, on the other hand, seemed to be unusually distrustful of her.
Diana rolled her eyes at him, then pushed his hands away, preventing him from hugging her.
She asked sharply, “Do I come across as a gossip to you?”
Diana’s tone had changed at this moment. Based on Julian’s years of experience in dealing with her, he knew that if
he didn’t provide a satisfying answer next, he might not even get to share the bed with her tonight!
A warning bell rang loudly in his mind as he mentally rehearsed all possible responses.
Finally, he settled on the one that seemed most likely to please her. “Of course not.”
Julian first denied the label, and then, he insisted on talking to Diana while hugging her, letting his body warmth
transmit to her to ease her impatience.
“In my heart, you are exceptionally beautiful, the most extraordinary of them all! By the way, honey… It’s been
three full months today, so why don’t we…”
Julian trailed off, suggesting a way to make Diana’s thoughts revolve solely around him.
The best solution, in his mind, was to go to bed together. This particular approach had been their tried-and-true
technique in their marriage, with an unblemished record of success.
Unfortunately, since Diana’s pregnancy, this approach hadn’t been put into practice for a while.
Diana wasn’t buying into his proposal this time. “Why don’t we, what? You obviously thought about it! You were

Yet, here you are, denying it. That’s truly a man’s shamelessness! All talk and no action!”
Seeing that even embracing her wasn’t working, Julian grew anxious. He decided to take matters into his own hands
instead of asking for her opinion.
He simply grinned, placed her on the bed, and leaned in for a passionate kiss.
Diana intended to clarify the issue, but Julian’s assault intensified. She subconsciously protected her abdomen and
was about to speak, when her lips were almost entirely consumed by his.
The air was stolen from her, and his breath invaded her senses, filling her heart to the brim.
It turned out that married women do indeed experience unsatisfied desires.
Diana thought about her increasingly irritable moods and her tendency to get fixated on small issues, and couldn’t
help but sigh deeply.
As the saying went, a woman at thirty was like a wild beast.
She wasn’t even thirty yet, but her body was quietly declaring its desires. She just didn’t voice them out loud.
Only the two people in bed would know that when Julian pounced on her, her joy bloomed like fireworks.
