Chapter 612Chapter 612
As it turned out, Diana couldn’t move on either way.
She and Julian truly understood one another, and their hearts were intertwined.
It wasn’t like any random person could shake or sever their connection.
At this moment, when Oliver saw the undeniable joy in her eyes upon saying he was giving up on her, a
wrenching sensation gripped his heart.
novelbinIron barbs pierced through his heart and lungs, digging out the years of longing, and…
Since their first meeting in Yale Village, it seemed like his feelings for her were destined to be a one-
sided show.
And now, this act was finally coming to an end. He couldn’t bear to interfere in her happiness or be a
burden to her.
“Let’s be friends from now on,” Oliver said, stretching out his hand to her without any further
explanation.
Diana also reached out, and their fingertips almost touched before Oliver withdrew his hand.
That was enough. He had said everything he needed to.
The greatest respect for her existing feelings and love was the consistent tenderness and love he had
shown her.
Diana could feel his sincere feelings, and she couldn’t stop her eyes from reddening.“Oliver,” Diana called out, stepping forward a little as the man walked away. “Be careful of Simon.”
Where had that come from?
Oliver turned to look at her in confusion, but a sharp look flashed in his usually gentle eyes in the next
second.
“Has he contacted you again?”
The last time Oliver had seen Simon and warned him off, he hadn’t expected Simon to approach Diana
again.
Diana had never seen Oliver look so alert and sharp before. It was as if a blade that had been hidden
for a long time had finally emerged, shining with a cold clarity like the morning sun.
Perhaps realizing that the burning intensity in his eyes had startled her, Oliver gathered himself and
gentled his tone slightly. “Has he hurt you?”
He hadn’t harmed her, at least, not to the extent Oliver was probably thinking. In fact, Simon had
helped Diana escape from the warehouse, allowing her to witness Julian kneeling on the ground.
However, that psycho had later betrayed her to the security guards.
Still, if it wasn’t for Simon, she didn’t know how much worse things could have been after she had fallen
back into Kayla’s hands.
So…
“Not really,” Diana said. “It’s just that every time I see him, nothing good happens. Besides, he and
you…”Diana originally believed that there was no comparison between Oliver and Simon, as the former was
like the warm spring sun and there were no similarities between them.
But now, she hesitated.
These aristocratic children, regardless of their surface behavior, were not to be messed with.
Even Oliver, whom Diana thought was a good and gentle man, had his own hidden sharpness.
He simply never displayed it before her and had only shown his tender side to her.
Yet, she still shut him out.
On the other hand, while Julian had shown Diana his worst side, it didn’t change the soft spot she had
for him.
That was the difference when love was involved, wasn’t it?
It wasn’t about whether the person was good or bad. It was only about love or the lack thereof.
Her love for Julian had grown stronger in her heart, so she gathered her courage and looked up at
Oliver.
“The biggest difference between you and Simon is the fact that Simon sometimes gives me the feeling
that he’s very similar to Julian, and he seemed very against Julian. I can’t explain it any other way, but
it’s just…strange. So, if there’s anything wrong with him, please let me know. I don’t want Julian to get
hurt again.”
Her statement pierced Oliver’s heart.
He hadn’t expected Diana to openly be so considerate of Julian’s well-being before him.She even saw Julian as someone who needed protection, and even Simon had become a danger in
her eyes.
“He behaves erratically and has an unpredictable personality, but he shouldn’t pose any threat to
Julian.”
As for the similarities Diana had mentioned between Simon and Julian, there were certain times when
Oliver himself thought their temperament were alike.
He had also sensed the same point Diana was implying.
