Chapter 957
Diana wished the moment could remain eternal.
After a while, she said slowly, "Simon..."
She paused, and glanced at Julian's expression before continuing, "When I stood before you and sought your
approval to marry him, I did it for the children. At that time, my savings were only enough for them to attend public
schools in Richburgh. To qualify, we needed a household registration in the city."
Simon had that advantage.
"He never told me the things you just did," Diana said earnestly. "Back then, he told me he didn't like women."
That was why she had relied on him so heavily in Stirling City, and why she had considered marrying him. She
thought they both had their own motives. It was supposed to be just a sham marriage.
Little did she know, everything he said was a lie to keep her close to him.
Julian smiled knowingly. Sunlight filtered through his hair, turning into a delicate brilliance that complemented his
handsome features. He looked even more breathtaking.
His gaze was tender.

wanted to marry Simon back then, right?"
He held Diana's hand gently. Her hand had grown rougher than before.
That was fine. He would gradually restore its softness.
He saw through the meaning behind her words, and nodded generously. "Okay. Starting today, we're officially a
couple.
As for remarriage..."
Diana winked playfully at him. She was being mischievous, as if they were back in the days of their newlywed bliss.
"It all depends on your performance."
She was practically shining.
Looking at this version of Diana, Julian felt even happier than her.
"Alright."
He suddenly lifted her high in front of the crowd, and gave her a playful kiss on the cheek. The surrounding children
burst into laughter—some covered their eyes with their hands, leaving only a small gap between their fingers, and
some laughed brightly.
While the adults hadn't looked their way, Diana gestured for Julian to quickly put her down. It would be awkward for
everyone to see them in this state.
However, Julian was determined. He refused to let her down.
He carried her into the midst of the crowd.
"It's not like it’s shameful," he grumbled. "Don't move. If you move, I'll kiss you again."
As he expected, Diana stiffened and allowed him to hold her. He kept her in his arms until they finally grew sore.
Then, he put her down.
Even so, he didn't forget to announce, "You all worked hard barbecuing. I'll cover everyone's expenses today."
He wanted to thank them for continually praising his and Diana's relationship.
Diana felt dizzy. She could see tipsiness and tenderness in his eyes.
The glances she and Julian exchanged were as sweet as honey. Betty seemed to sense the happy mood, and
eagerly squeezed into their embrace.
Julian quickly lifted her into his arms. The whole family bonded harmoniously with the others.
When night came and it was time to rest, Julian washed up and prepared the children for bed. When he exited the
bathroom, he saw Diana on the phone with Noel.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"There's news," Diana said excitedly. "Julian, there might be a way to recover my memories!"
If she could get back her memories, she could finally understand what had happened before she lost them three
years ago. She could also uncover any potential dangers around her. They wouldn’t need to be so cautious
anymore.
Julian's gaze deepened, and he glanced outside.
Outside the Frog Tree Camp, a few shadows were moving back and forth. They were his bodyguards, responsible
for Diana's safety. However, they kept their distance so they wouldn’t affect Julian and Diana from mingling with
everyone else.
"Did they find out everything about Matt Hughes?"
"No."
The man remained an enigma, and the police had made no progress in that regard.
Diana shook her head.
"It's about the pill. They were able to analyze its components. " She showed him a test report, and took a deep
breath. ’ Look! The pill's made entirely of poison."
