Chapter 1162
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife chapter 1162 What Julian was saying sounded very appealing.
It was exactly what Diana wanted to hear.
Even his willingness to cooperate exceeded her expectations.
He never coerced her the entire time. The moment he entered, he treated her with concern. He acted as if she was carrying a huge bomb, and that any slight mishap would leave her battered and bruised.
Butâ¦she wasnât pregnant.
She couldnât bear to let Julian look at her with such a pitiful and worried expression. âActually, Iâ¦â
Julian stood up. âStop talking about it. I already know. Iâve said it before-if you want to keep the baby, I wonât force you to give it up.â
Diana remained silent.
She was quite pleased right now. She thought that when Julian found out she was pregnant, he would oppose her decision to keep the child.
She had considered what would happen if he acted as domineering and aloof as he had during her first pregnancy. That was one of the reasons she had come to Nina first for the pregnancy test today.
She still hadnât figured out how to tell Julian about it.
Seeing her remain silent, Julian thought she had changed her mind again.
âIf you think the pregnancy will be difficult and youâre afraid of the pain of childbirth, or if you donât want the baby anymore, I can take you to the hospital right now,â he said.
Diana gently raised her hand, and tapped his lips.
âWhat nonsense are you on? Is having a child a joke to you? How could I change my mind so quickly, wanting it one moment and not the next?â
Seeing Diana slightly annoyed, Julian realized he had misspoken again. He was thinking about how to make amends and reassure the pregnant Diana, when she asked,â What about you? Do you want it or not?â
He sensed her inner conflict through her tone. âIâ¦â
âI want it, but Iâm afraid youâll suffer and be in pain. Deep down, Iâm leaning more towards not wanting it.â
He didnât have the courage to say it aloud, afraid that Diana would recall the pain from before. When he sent her into the operating room, she must have been in great despair.
So, Julian said, âYouâre already pregnant, and thatâs a gift for us.â
He knew she wanted it. He decided not to mention his own feelings anymore.
âDonât worry, Iâll take good care of you both. Iâll make sure what happened to Aster and Star doesnât repeat itself.â
As he spoke, Julian became more and more resolute. âLetâs keep it.â
He looked at Diana, and solemnly knelt down. âAs long as we prepare properly, I can make sure you suffer less.â
Saying that, he leaned in to listen to her belly. He hadnât been able to accompany her through her pregnancies the previous two times. Claiming not to regret it would be a lie.
âButâ¦â Seeing Julian like this, Diana felt a bit embarrassed.â I actually⦠Iâm not pregnant.â
Julian was momentarily stunned, but he quickly understood. âYou donât have to be afraid.â
He even raised his hand to swear to her. âDiana, I wonât insist on terminating your pregnancy this time.
This is our baby.
Also, on the way here, Iâve already checked things.
With your current physical condition, a miscarriage would be equally harmful. Whether you give birth or not, it will be detrimental to you.â
However, Julian still had to warn her. âFrom now on, I wonât keep any contraceptives at home. When we need them in the future, Iâll get them from the office myself so you wonât tamper with them again.â
âIâm not afraid that youâll make me have an abortion. I really am not pregnant,â Diana insisted.
âThatâs impossible.â Julian still couldnât believe it, and he felt even more guilty. âIt seems Iâve left a trauma on you.â
He felt more and more like a monster.
âI shouldnât have said that I didnât want a child. As long as a child can come, itâs fate.â He kept comforting Diana. âThis time, Iâll definitely protect you both.â Diana believed hi
