Chapter 1271
The agitation in Julian's eyes faded as he looked at Diana. The coldness in them from when he was at Collina Villa
had vanished without a trace as well.
If he could be described as the moon just now, then at the moment, he was the sun-able to warm and even burn
everything up in his presence.
At the same time, he was like a peacock with its feathers open.
Diana looked at Julian’s soft hair. Up close, she could tell that he had taken the effort to style his hair. He even had a
sapphire blue lapel pin on his sleeve.
She looked at Julian, confused. She was about to ask him if today was a special occasion, when he shot a strained
smile at Jim.
"Professor Hughes, do you need a lift?"
In clear contrast with the smile on his face, his eyes blazed coldly.

He was making it clear that he didn't want to leave the zoo with Jim.
Julian thought Jim would get the hint and leave. That was what Jim did the previous two times, after all. What's
more, he didn't seem to have any ulterior motives toward Diana.
Even now, as Julian looked at Jim, he doubted whether Jim was really the man Layla claimed to have given Diana a
house.
If it weren’t Jim, Julian truly couldn’t fathom which man would give Diana a house.
Julian tightened his hold over Diana's hand, wishing he could get to the bottom of this right away.
"It's fine," Jim said, "I drove here."
He paused for a moment, maintaining Julian’s momentum that he spoke in earlier.
"I can follow right behind your car."
Julian arched his brow. "Professor Hughes, do you mean to say that you'll follow us home?"
"Yes," Jim said casually. His tone bore certainty and confidence.
That simple word sounded like a challenge in Julian's ears.
'To be accurate, I'm following Mrs. Fulcher," Jim said frankly. "Mrs. Fulcher called me out today. Our date hasn’t
come to an end yet."
He wanted to spend more time with the babies in Diana's stomach. Most importantly, he was worried Diana would
fight with Julian over her family background.
If she got agitated, something bad might happen. If there was no one reliable or knowledgeable about medicine,
the fetuses might be harmed.
Julian was clearly upset over Jim's choice of words.
'The date he's talking about isn't the kind of date you're thinking of," Diana said. She rubbed her palm against
Julian's palm, making him itch.
He calmed down in an instant. Yet, it didn't the doubt arising in his chest.
"So, what kind of date is it?”
What kind of date could it be, involving a man and a woman together?

Diana didn't expect him to be so distrusting toward her.
That in turn eroded her trust in him.
"Julian," Diana said, looking straight at him. Instead of telling Julian about her calling Jim out for the sake of Nina,
she suddenly asked, "What’s with my family background?"
Shock flashed past Julian's face. Seeing that, realization dawned upon Diana.
"So you really knew about it since a long time ago."
What was going on?! How did Diana know that something was wrong with her family background?
Julian had wanted to avoid all possibility of a mishap, and ensure she had a relaxed and happy pregnancy this time.
She was already upset enough over Sean recently. He didn't
want her to continue being sad because of some unimportant people.
Julian had wanted to tell her about her family background after she safely gave birth. He never expected her to
bring up this issue herself.
His face turned cold. "Who told you about it?"
Diana, who had gotten used to his tenderness, felt her heart sink. Indignation made her blood stop flowing. Even
her hands felt weak.
When she looked at Julian, her eyes were filled with sorrow.
