Chapter 1226

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1226 Diana didn’t like the taste, but she kept eating it in big bites.

“There are no tricks or secrets.” Diana took a few bites and shared her so-called love experience with Cecilia. “He just likes me.”

When she thought about her relationship with Julian, they had actually skipped the dating phase and went straight into marriage. If Kayla hadn’t interfered at the time, they probably would have adapted very well from beginning to end.

Her answer only served to irritate Cecilia.

“Diana!” Cecilia didn’t seem very pleased with this. “So, are you saying Noel doesn’t like me enough? He doesn’t even want to kiss and hug me, and now, he’s even thinking of using me to complete Julian’s assigned task!”

“I don’t think it’s bad enough to say he’s using you…'” Diana slowly put on her shoes, threw on a coat, and then headed towards the balcony. “Why don’t you think that when Noel made this request, he no longer sees you as the Jarvis family’s heiress, but as one of his own?”

With a single sentence, Diana immediately allowed Cecilia to see things clearly. “You’re right, Diana!

Thank you!”

Cecilia grew up pampered, but it gave her the biggest advantage of being able to take in what others said. Now, she almost wanted to crown Diana as her love mentor.

“I’ll come to you for advice in the future!”

Diana hung up, and pushed open the balcony door.

Julian saw her coming out and immediately reached for her hand, afraid the summer night breeze would harm her. He then hurriedly led her back to the room.

“Having a cold during pregnancy is very uncomfortable, and you’re restricted to medications you can take,” Julian said as he brought her back to the room.

“Why didn’t you continue sleeping?”

“Cecilia called.” Diana smiled helplessly. “I guess I owe it to her. No matter how late it is, as long as she calls, I can’t ignore it, or I’ll feel uneasy.”

“Cecilia’s illness didn’t really have anything to do with you.”

Julian didn’t want to see Diana burdened by this matter.

But Diana shook her head. “I know.”

She just thought Cecilia was rather cute.

“Just consider it as me getting a little sister,” Diana told Julian, implying that he didn’t need to convince her further.” If it makes her happy, it makes me happy too.”

Maintaining contact with Cecilia wasn’t such a bad thing, as long as it could improve her mood.

But it was so late. Julian couldn’t help but feel a bit unhappy.

“Why did she call?”

“It’s nothing.” Diana repeated what Cecilia had said to Julian. “It’s just that Noel isn’t very experienced in dating, so she came to seek advice from me.”

“You’ve become her teacher,” Julian chuckled. “Next time she contacts you, just transfer the call to me.”

“Why?”

“Because you haven’t pursued men. It’s been me pursuing you all along,” Julian said.

“…You’re kidding.”

“Where have I deceived you?” Julian hugged her, and placed her back on the bed.

The entire room was temperature-controlled, and the blankets were just right. It was neither too cold nor too hot. It was comfortable to lie down.

“Come in here too.” Diana liked nestling in his embrace.

Julian was still thinking about their earlier conversation. “I really haven’t lied to you, you know? Think about it. From the time we got married, haven’t I treated you better?”

He took care of everything for her.

Besides the initial attraction being superficial, his subsequent desires to be with her were all because of his affection and thoughtfulness.

His actions seemed to have caused her to fall into a trap, and she was unable to extricate herself.

What he provided for her far exceeded what she had in the first eighteen years of her life.

The air suddenly fell silent.
