Chapter 464
Diana felt anxious.
"Let's head to the control room for now. I won't feel at ease until I find out who's exactly behind this."
Julian stood by the window, watching as the rain hit the glass and making its color change repeatedly. He watched
the thunder and lightning lighting up in the dark sky.
After a long time, his gaze grew unfocused, and he became increasingly upset.
How far had Diana progressed? Was she happy to see the person she liked in her room? Would this night be one
where her relationship with Oliver went to the next level?
He desperately hoped that there would be good news about their relationship. That way, it would fulfill Diana's wish
to be with the person she loved. Yet at the same time, he also hoped nothing would ever come out of it.
His hands had been trembling when he ordered for Oliver to be sent to her room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTaking this step had been difficult, but he had done it to make Diana happy. It was his birthday present to her; he
had only done it after racking his brains, thinking hard of how he could please her.
If Diana tried to pursue Oliver on her own, she might never succeed and end up suffering in the end.
Julian couldn't bear to see her suffer anymore, so he would rather suffer himself.
Alas, no one told him that trying to push the woman he loved to be with someone else would be so heart-
wrenching.
"Sir," Noel called out as he pushed open the door and entered the room.
Julian gathered himself together and let out a sigh. "What happened?"
There was weary exhaustion in his voice, and Noel hesitated to speak upon noticing it.
"Well, it didn't work out..."
Julian was stunned. He was unable to decide if he was happy or disappointed. It felt as if someone had taken his
heart and taken it for a joyride, like they were trying to make it explode.
"Why?’
Noel was a man who rarely made mistakes in his work.
"I don't know," Noel said, shaking his head. "According to the information I got, when Oliver was unconscious,
Madam called someone into the room and... It just didn't work out. They're now checking the surveillance footage.

"How could this happen?" Julian muttered. He didn't understand. "Doesn't Diana want Oliver?"
"I don't know," Noel said again. He felt like tonight’s events were a vortex of mistakes, and all of them were trapped
inside it without a way out.
Something felt strange. "Oh, by the way. Madam also had the components of the incense tested-"
"That's wrong."
"What is?"
"You're addressing her wrongly," Julian realized belatedly. "Why are you still calling Diana that?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNoel recalled the last time he had spoken to Diana on the phone and how she had asked about his father's health
with such understanding and compassion; he couldn't help but feel touched.
"You mentioned before that even if you get divorced, she'd still be Mrs. Fulcher."
Julian hummed in reply, but then sunk into his thoughts for a while. After a long time, his expression twisted
unpleasantly. Then, he looked at Noel with doubt and dissatisfaction in his eyes. "Don't you think it's strange to send
Oliver to Diana's bed?"
Noel was in complete agreement. "It does seem strange, but..."
It wasn't like he understood either, so he asked Julian back, "What exactly is wrong with it?"
"Why does it feel like I'm trying to get myself cheated on?'" Julian muttered.
"You're overthinking it," Noel said. "Though Madam is still Mrs. Fulcher to us, she's your ex-wife. There's no
relationship between you two anymore, so where would the cheating come from?"
Julian fell deep into thought again, then shook his head vigorously.
"No, that's not it. It's like... I'm doing it to myself."
