Diana pushed Julian gently, as if she was coaxing a child.” Okay, enough. Simon’s legs are injured. As
his older brother, you should give in to him a little.”
Julian’s mood visibly improved, but his tone remained unfriendly. “I’m not his brother.”
“Stop pretending.” Diana saw through him. If Julian truly refused to acknowledge Simon as his brother,
he wouldn’t have accepted Simon moving in.
Nina was right. The most stubborn and hard thing in the world was Julian’s mouth.
Still, it was strange.
When she kissed him just now, it felt so gentle and soft.
Thinking about that sensation, akin to touching flower petals, Diana’s mood improved significantly.
Julian’s mood also brightened.
He touched his lower back, and looked at Diana. There was obvious dissatisfaction on his face, and he
was pouting slightly. “You can’t push me like that in the future.”
“Yeah, okay. Sure.” Diana agreed repeatedly, then hurriedly opened his shirt to take a look at his
wound. “The skin’s a little scraped.”
She took out some alcohol, and disinfected his wound carefully before applying a band-aid on it. She
felt a little embarrassed to do it.
As the stew was ready, she quickly washed her hands and stirred the pot.
“Give it to me.” Julian glanced at the first aid kit. “Put that back where it was. I’ll take the stew to
Simon.”
That might not be a good idea. Diana had never let Julian have any direct interaction alone with Simon.
“Afraid I’ll do something to him?” Julian said. His jaw tightened, and his gaze sharpened. It made it hard
for Diana to refuse.
“No.” She took a deep breath. “If you take it to him, make sure to watch him finish it.”
Recently, Simon’s appetite wasn’t great. The doctor advised him to eat more liquid foods and have a
nutritious diet.
Julian nodded. “Got it.”
Then, he carried the stew to Simon’s room.
When he entered, Simon greeted him. “Brother.”
One must admit, Simon knew how to strike a nerve with people. Knowing full well that Julian despised
him mentioning their relationship, he always made sure to remind Julian of his status as Julian’s
illegitimate halfbrother.
Still, Diana had brought him to the villa. Julian had promised her not to show Simon any hostility.
Suppressing his displeasure, he placed the bowl of stew on the bedside
table.
“Eat quickly. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
“It’s prepared so quickly?” Simon asked.
He turned to Julian.
“It used to be the same back then. Whenever I said I craved beef stew, Diana would head to the market
early in the morning to buy all the ingredients. Since the city was close to the border, the spices she
used were available all year round. The stew she used to make tasted even better than this. But I
understand it’s not easy to gather the same spices in Richburgh.”
He then sighed, as if on purpose. “She really put her heart into it for me.”
His words were a thorn in Julian’s heart. Richburgh was in the northern region, and it was currently
autumn. Trying to gather so many spices in a short time to make this stew was indeed quite
painstaking.
Julian knew Simon said that on purpose to sow discord, so he’d quarrel with Diana. The more Simon
did this, the less angry he was.
He looked at Simon coolly, and retorted, “You resemble your mother quite a bit.”
At the mention of a woman he had never met before, Simon’s heart tightened. The fact that his identity
had been hidden all this while immediately made him feel inferior to Julian.
Simon’s eyes turned fierce. He offered a sarcastic smile, and said, “Resemble her? In what way?”
“You both seem to enjoy desiring what belongs to others.” Julian’s tone was filled with mockery. As he
spoke, he radiated an icy aura. “Isn’t that true?”
He raised an eyebrow at Simon.
