Chapter 1136
Before Julian could reach the car, the driver approached him. "Sir."
The driver's uneasy expression and nervous demeanor gave Julian a bad feeling.
"Where's Diana?"
"She left."
"She left?!’ Julian snapped the ring box shut. His face was stormy. "Didn't I tell you to lock the car doors?"
He had been planning to surprise her with a proposal, but now, she was gone!
Could she have really thought he wouldn't agree to remarry and got upset?
But Julian knew that, at this point, it was pointless to blame the driver. He could only take out his phone and try to
contact her.
As expected, she refused to answer his calls.
The driver stood nearby, growing increasingly anxious. He asked in a low voice, "Sir... What should we do now?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulian was also worried. His main concern was that Diana might be angry. If she was indeed upset, he feared she
might not even allow herself to be found.
He lowered his head, looking at the ring box in his hand.
After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll try contacting someone else."
Maybe Diana had gone home.
Diana hadn't gone home; she was currently at a pharmacy. She had come to buy medical ice packs to apply to her
face, hoping to reduce the swelling quickly so she could return to see the twins.
"Miss, your medical ice packs are ready," the pharmacy attendant said, handing them to Diana.
She took them, and placed them on her face. "Thank you."
Once outside, Diana glanced at the road ahead and started walking back to where the car had been parked earlier.
As long as she didn't go back, Julian wouldn't allow the driver to leave.
Diana was confident in that.
Surrounded by the bustling city, she found herself lost in thought. Earlier, when she had used Cecilia to threaten
Sue into agreeing to annul the engagement, Sue had called out to her as she was about to leave.
"Ms. Winnington, do you trust Shiloh so blindly? Just like how I once trusted Julian to marry Cecilia?"
Why would Sue suddenly mention Shiloh?
Diana turned to her and asked, "Mrs. Jarvis, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing," Sue responded, her tone condescending. She ushered Diana away. "Please, go ahead. Let's hope you
won't need my help in the future!"
Although Diana didn't bring up what Sue said to Julian when she saw him later, it left her with a subtle sense of
unease.
She still needed to ask Julian about any new developments regarding Matt's death.
As Diana crossed the intersection, she happened to lift her head and spotted Julian. He was gesturing something to
a passerby, as if searching for someone.
Could he be looking for her?
Diana stood under the traffic light, and quickly waved to him. "Julian!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing her voice, he immediately turned around. His expression visibly relaxed, and he smiled at the person
he had stopped.
"Thank you. I've found my wife."
Today, he was wearing a knee-length camel-colored coat, with a plain scarf and Italian handmade leather shoes.
His apparel gave him an elegant impression.
Diana watched as he approached. Her initial anger slowly dissipated, and she couldn't help but take a step toward
him. The surrounding traffic and people became mere background noise, fading into insignificance.
In their eyes, there was only each other. The closer they got, the more singularly focused their attention became.
"Who's your wife?" she asked.
It turned out Diana had read Julian's lips while he had been conversing with the passerby.
Julian didn't argue with her. Instead, he took the medical ice pack Diana had been using and gently secured it to
one side of her face.
"You, of course. You're my wife."
He said it with absolute certainty. His ebony-black eyes resembled a deep abyss, pulling her in.
