Chapter 10
Two days had passed.[]
I hadn’t checked on Julian for two whole days.[]
Last night, Julian had deliberately cut his wrist in front of the housekeeper.[]
Then he just sat there, staring as she dialed my number.
I didn’t answer.
The housekeeper only explained that I’d probably been too busy with work lately and missed the call.[]
Julian looked down, his knuckles white as he gripped his pen, unable to write, his expression cold.[]
Suddenly, the housekeeper knocked on the door.
Julian’s head snapped up, instinctively looking behind her.[]
It wasn’t me.]]
It was Emma.]
His expression instantly turned cold. He frowned and returned his attention to the open book on his desk.[]
Emma walked in, complaining, “Julian, what’s wrong with your housekeeper? Your clothes are all disheveled and she won’t even help you fix them.”
As she spoke, Emma reached out to touch him.]
Julian suddenly swatted her hand away, extremely resistant.[]
Emma’s hand hung awkwardly in mid–air. She muttered, “Well, I guess that’s what servants are for anyway.“[]
The housekeeper replied flatly, “Usually Mrs. Diana handles these things. Mr. Julian doesn’t like strangers touching him. Also, today is their seventh wedding anniversary. Ms. Emma, you shouldn’t be here.”
Emma’s face darkened.
Strangers?
She and Julian had slept together countless times.]
What part of her was a stranger?
After all, anniversary or not, I’d never been able to get my own husband to sleep with me.[]
Emma dismissed the housekeeper and knelt beside Julian with practiced sweetness.[]
She looked up at him with the same rehearsed charm she’d used before: “Julian, it must be uncomfortable holding back like this. Let Emma help you, okay?”
She reached out and pressed her hand against his trousers.
Julian jumped up and shoved her away, veins bulging at his temples. “Get away! Get away!“[]
Emina’s expression changed dramatically.[]
She quickly scrambled to her feet, straightening her clothes. “Julian, what’s wrong? You enjoyed it before, didn’t you?“]
Julian’s vision blurred, pain throbbing in the back of his head.[]
Leaning against the desk, he dug his nails into his palms. When he opened his eyes again, all he could see was Emma’s pale, naked body–the sight made his stomach churn.

Disgusting…
Julian called out uncontrollably, “Diana… Diana…“[]
Emma glanced smugly at the micro–camera in the corner. “You mean Diana? She’s probably watching our live show right now.”
“Impossible!”
Julian’s face went ashen.]
He violently pushed Emma’s hands away, and she fell to the ground, unprepared.[]
She stared at him in disbelief.[]
Julian, who was always so gentle, would treat her this way![]
“Julian, Diana’s known about us all along. Otherwise, why do you think she didn’t show up for your anniversary?“[]
Julian frowned.]
He looked extremely panicked. “Diana would never leave me!“[]
Emma laughed coldly.
Autistic men were so easy to manipulate.[]
Just give them sedatives to keep them calm and physically comfortable, and they’d comply without question.[]
Julian was no exception.[]
For the past few weeks, her tricks had worked like magic.
Today she’d just forgotten to bring the pills.
Otherwise, he’d already be moaning beneath her again.[]
But it wasn’t a big problem.[]
After all, men who’d experienced sex couldn’t easily give it up.

Emma reached out and embraced Julian again. “Julian, stop thinking about that old woman. Didn’t you say you wanted a divorce so you could marry me? Let’s kick her out of the estate. We can live together, just the two of us. Doesn’t that sound good?”]
Julian repeated unconsciously, “Kick her out…“[]
Suddenly, his eyes widened. Like a madman, he swept the desk lamp crashing to the floor and roared, “Don’t you dare kick Diana out! Don’t you dare! Get away from me! I want Diana!“[]
Emma was shoved away in shock.
All their intimacy, all the moments Emma thought were meaningful–had he felt nothing at all?
Emma’s expression turned dark as she protectively held her stomach. “Diana’s already gone, Julian! Wake up! Now it’s just me and our baby who want to be with you!”
