Chapter 1013
They all had their own responsibilities to bear, and everything that happened was intertwined with her. Even Julian's
responsibility over Cecilia wouldn't have existed if she hadn't interfered in the first place.
In the end, she blamed herself, sobbing, "It's all my fault.
Sniff, sniff... Now, Heaven's punishing me..."
She held onto him, crying sadly. Her accumulated frustration and suppressed emotions flew out in a torrential flood.
Julian's shoulder soon became wet.
She cried and cried, and his heart shed tears for her as well.
Julian embraced her. "Heaven can't punish you. If it dares to, I'll stab it through the sky!"
She laughed softly. In the dim yellow light, her eyes glistened with tears. She was smiling through her tears.
"How can you be so powerful as to do that?"
"That's how powerful I am-"

"Mmm..."
Although their situation was still a mess, Julian quickly turned the tables.
Before anything happened, he still had time to ask her, ’
Have you thought it through?"
She shook her head honestly. "No."
But that didn't matter; it didn't stop her from wanting to live for herself for one night-free from the burden of
Simon's life, his relentless pursuit, and Cecilia and Julian's engagement.
Just as if nothing had happened in between.
Live for herself for one night, just like this.
After spending that precious night, all that remained in her heart was regret. Truly, she had been impulsive.
She covered half of her face with the blanket, urging the man beside her to leave her room quickly.
Julian refused. "Now that you got what you wanted, you want to abandon me?"
"No!" Diana shook her head in exasperation.
"Then, are you worried Simon will see?"
"It's not that... Simon probably hasn't woken up yet. I'm just afraid of Cecilia."
She didn't want Cecilia to catch her and Julian together again.
"After all, you're still engaged to her. What we did...isn’t right.
"Yeah." Julian chuckled. "You've already enjoyed it all, but you’re suddenly concerned about this. Isn't that a bit
unfair?"
Diana was speechless. He might as well be distant from her. At least then, she wouldn't be so tongue-tied.
Unexpectedly, he quickly agreed with her. "I’m going. You're right. It wouldn't be good if Cecilia caught us again. I'll
leave first."
He was clearly going along with what she said, but it still made her uncomfortable.
Cecilia and Noel...
The two had a history, so when looked at from that angle, what Diana and Julian did didn't seem so excessive.

Julian dressed and told her, "To prevent Cecilia from finding out and to spare both her and Simon’s feelings, let's
make a deal. Once I leave this room, it'll be just like before. Unless necessary, neither of us will talk to each other."
Before Diana could nod, he continued, "Also, we'll act like nothing happened. I'll be good to my fiancee, and you'll
be good to your Simon."
Diana felt a pang in her chest.
Why did she feel like Julian was the one who was being distant and indifferent now...?
His behavior was a little too cold.
With that said, he pushed the door and left without even asking if she was okay.
She stared at his retreating figure, thinking about the "deal" he made before leaving. Slowly, a suffocating feeling
filled her heart.
Who was afraid of whom, huh?
So what if they spent a night together so suddenly?
If Julian could pretend like nothing happened, so could she!
