Chapter 1252
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife chapter 1252 Diana had casually tossed aside a gift from someone else. And now, she couldnât even find it!
She was too embarrassed to admit this. She silently swore to herself that she would find the folder and take a serious look at it before meeting Jim tomorrow.
She was curious to see what kind of apology gift Jim had sent.
The more she thought about it, the less sense it made.
Diana remembered that the folder was thin; there seemed to be just a few sheets of paper inside.
Maybe it was a property deed or something. Her thoughts were becoming increasingly absurd, and she sighed as she touched her belly.
âSince becoming pregnant, I feel like Iâve become more relaxed. Iâm not as stressed at work, and my mind keeps wandering.â
She wondered whether the babies inside her were boys or girls, and what kind of clothes she needed to prepare. She hadnât wanted to find out the gender yet, wanting to keep a sense of surprise, like opening a mystery box where you canât guess whatâs inside until you open it. She also found herself daydreaming about what it would be like when the two little ones grew up, and couldnât stop herself from thinking about other things at the same time.
Sometimes she would even consider getting a couple of pet rabbits, just because she saw some carrots on the table.
Having four children watching the little rabbits eat carrots together would undoubtedly be adorable.
Now, Iâm even fantasizing about a man I just met giving me a property deed,â
she joked.
She already had her own house now.
Although it wasnât as large as CoIlina Villa, and the entire value of her house couldnât match a single piece of porcelain displayed in the Fulcher Manor, it was still hers.
Whenever Diana thought of that house, she felt like she had a reliable fallback option even without a natal family. Just in case she and Julian ever had a fight in the future over childcare, she could retreat to her own little home to clear her mind. He would have to come over multiple times to convince her to return! i For now, indulging in fantasies wasnât appropriate.
She didnât really think the folder contained a property deed. She didnât want another house. The main concern was that if it truly was a property deed, sheâd be so terrified that sheâd hand it over to Julian like a hot potato, asking him to return it to the sender. But her jest was overheard by Layla, who had been feeling guilty towards Julian for the misunderstanding over the jade and the quarrel it had caused between him and Diana. Moreover, over the past year, Layla had witnessed Julianâs unwavering kindness and love for Diana.
So, when she heard Dianaâs comment, Laylaimmediately took it to heart.
A gem like their young mistress couldnât be swindled away by another man. As Layla contemplated who might have gifted Diana a house along with a property deed, she began her pretence of searching the house for the missing folder.
âMadam, I still canât find it,â Layla reported.
Diana was starting to feel anxious. If she couldnât find the folder, how was she going to explain things to Professor Hughes when they meet tomorrow and ask about the apology gift?
She couldnât afford to offend him; she needed his help!
While Diana was struggling to recall where she might have placed the folder, Julian was also going through a tough time.
He had promised to accompany Diana to every prenatal checkup, but it hadnât taken long for him to break that promise.
