Chapter 1191
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âButâ¦â Julian changed the subject. âAre you really going to keep the child?â
Anger flashed across Dianaâs face. âWhat are you saying?â
She covered her belly with her hand, adopting a defensive posture against Julian.
âI warned you! It was fine when I wasnât pregnant, but now I am, and I barely managed to keep it. Donât even think about harming the baby!â
Julian felt embarrassed.
He lifted Dianaâs blanket, and leaned over gently. âHoney, I was just asking. I just wanted to confirm it.
You donât have to treat me like a wolf trying to get rid of it.â
Diana was already pregnant. How could he possibly not want this child? He was just double-checking her feelings.
When it came to pregnancy, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable it was, he couldnât take the pain on her behalf.
Diana had to handle it all by herself.
Diana looked at Julianâs careful posture as he leaned over her belly, and relaxed.
âThatâs good.â
She thought Julian might not let her keep the baby.
But itâs twins,â Diana added. âA rare blessing!â
Julian, who was still thinking about whether Sean and Betty would be getting a brother or sister, suddenly looked up.
He looked like he was choking. Astonished, he asked, âWhat did you say? Twins, again?!â
Diana was amused by his reaction. Nodding, she asked in return, âDidnât Vans tell you?â
Julian was anxious. âHe did, but he didnât say it was twins!â
He hadnât paid much attention to the examination report at the time. He had only seen âearly pregnancyâ written on it, and hadnât looked at the ultrasound image.
Diana showed him the electronic version of the examination report. She zoomed in on the ultrasound results for him.
âDo you see it? Two egg sacs.â
Twoâ¦
Another two�
One would have been manageable.
Carrying twins was a real ordeal.
Julian couldnât help but start to worry again.
He really wanted to ask Diana if they should keep both of them. However, he didnât dare.
Dianaâs current expression was one of pure happiness. Even if he asked, she would never give up either of them. He had to push that thought aside to avoid making Diana angry and hurting herself.
Diana.â
He held her hand with a serious expression. âHave you ever found it strange?â
âWhatâs strange?â
âOur first children, then our second⦠And now this.â Julian hesitated. âHow can you have twins every time?â
The probability of an ordinary person having twins was very low.
But Dianaâ¦
How could she hit the jackpot three times in a row?
Diana shrugged it off; in fact, she looked quite content. âIt must be your good genes. I think itâs compensation from the heavens.â
She couldnât keep her first children. The second time, her children had been separated from Julian.
She even lost her memories in the process.
And now, she was carrying twins again. It gave her a sense of perfection, a way to make up for everything.
However, Julian didnât see it that way. He had a lingering feeling that something was off.
Seeing Diana so happy, he didnât want to say much. As soon as he left the hospital room, he went to find Vans and asked about the matter in detail.
âStatistically speaking, twins are indeed quite rare, especially with Diana having twins three times in a row,â Vans explained to Julian. âBut itâs not impossible. For example, if there are genetic factors fortwins in her family, then it wouldnât be surprising for Diana to have twins every time.â
Genetic factors?
Julian thought back carefully, but he couldnât recall anyone in the Winnington family who had twins.
