Chapter 1116

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1116 It was barely sufficient for all three of them standing in the room.

Especially Julian, with his towering figure that made it even more cramped.

But Sean and Diana had adapted well. Neither found it uncomfortable, nor were they upset with it.

Julian’s heart ached.

“How did you guys survive during your time at Stirling City?” he asked. This was his first time asking Diana about the three years she had disappeared.

Diana was slightly taken aback. It had been around half a year since she returned from Stirling City.

Before, she felt as if everything that her life Stirling City happened just yesterday. Now, however, Julian’s question made it seem like those days were just a blur of memories.

“Nothing much,” she said as she snapped back to attention. She laid Sean on his bed, grabbed a storybook, and handed it to Julian. “It was the same as in Richburgh, three meals and one sleep a day.”

Julian asked, “What do you eat for your meals?”

“Cooked dishes.”

“What kind of dishes? Who cooked it?”

“Simon.” Diana didn’t understand why Julian had to talk about this when Sean was around.

The mention of Simon’s name would definitely upset Julian.

As she expected, Julian’s face changed slightly. However, he calmed himself down quickly. “He couldn’t have cooked every day, could he?”

He was behaving much more rationally than he used to before.

Diana smiled. “We had hired help sometimes.”

Julian took over the storybook, but didn’t read it. Instead, he continued waiting for Diana to say more.

Sean looked at both of them.

“More often than not, I cooked meals for myself,” Diana went on.

But because she had the twins, she was often busy taking care of at least one of them, even with a nanny helping with the other.

With time, she got used to taking care of them with one hand while chopping vegetables and cooking with the other.

When the twins learned how to walk and run, Diana thought she could have a break and not be so tired. Yet, she had to begin paying attention on whether they would fall or run across the road while chasing after dogs or cats.

Diana felt that taking care of the twins when they were older took more energy than doing so when they were younger.

That was especially so during her confinement period, when all the twins did was to sleep. Then again, she had to deal with various issues like jaundice and milk regurgitation.

Having survived all those ordeals, she didn’t remember how tough it had been.

The twins were so adorable.

They also became smarter as they grew, and their cheeky moments at each stage of growth made Diana wish they could grow up faster. That way, she would be able to see how they would be like when they became adults.

After a long silence, Julian said, “I’m sorry.”

He headed out for a moment. After a short while, he returned and asked, “What were your living conditions like?”

“Very bad at the start,” Diana said.

Before she gave birth, she refused to accept Simon’s help to rent her an apartment. Plus, she didn’t have a single cent with her. To make things worse, she didn’t have her memories, and her stomach was getting bigger by the day.

Eventually, she found out that she was good at designing and making clothes. With Simon’s help, she opened a small studio.

As she gradually earned more income, she transitioned from a tiny apartment into a small bungalow.

“The place we stayed in Stirling City was a lot bigger than this room,” Diana said, when she saw Julian’s eyes turning red.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly realized that Julian might have headed out to cry. He must have been upset when he saw her squeezing in with Nina in this apartment over the past couple of days.

This was the second time she could remember seeing Julian’s eyes turn red before her.

The last time, something had really happened to her. This time, he had only followed her into this room.

She smiled at him. Not wanting to expose the fact that she had noticed his reddened eyes, she said, “I wasn’t in a good mood recently, and I didn’t want to leave Nina’s place.”
