Chapter 1362
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Through the driverâs attitude, Diana sensed something was out of the norm. She tried to probe.
âWe havenât made plans on where to go, and we donât know when weâre heading out or which hotel weâll be staying inâ¦â
âThatâs alright,â the driver said. âIâll just wait right downstairs at your hotel. Anytime you need a car, just tell me. If you donât, Iâll just wait downstairs.â
He was definitely not allowing Diana out of his sight.
The alarm bells in Dianaâs heart rang even louder, but she knew she couldnât say no to him. She could only go into the hotel and get some rest first before playing it by ear.
Jim didnât expect Diana to not follow the driver back home. Thankfully, his subordinate was quick-witted enough to not leave Diana alone outside.
He wouldnât feel at ease leaving a pregnant lady all by herself.
Thinking about it, he told the driver to book a room right next to Dianaâs hotel room. âAfter Iâm done with this experiment, Iâll head over. Make sure she stays safe when Iâm not around. If you need help, seek my approval anytime.â
The driver nodded, but he looked as if he had something more to say.
Jim could sense something wrong in his voice. âYou have something to say?â
He paused for a moment and said with rarely-seen patience, âTell me.â
The driver said, âProfessor, Ms. Winnington has a family. Sheâs pregnant, tooâ¦â
âIf she wasnât pregnant, I wouldnât have invited her to Jacroaof.â Jim could sense that the driver was trying to dig information from him, and his tone chilled. âIâll find someone to replace you.â
In other words, the driver just lost the chance to drive Diana around. He had also just lost his job in the Hughes household.
The driver wanted to contest Jimâs decision, but suppressed his anger at the thought of how ruthless Jim could get. He could only get out of the car angrily and walk away all alone.
Meanwhile, Diana and Betty rested in their hotel room for an entire afternoon.
By the time they had their fill and walked out of the hotel, the streets were already lit up.
This hotel was located in a busy area of the city center. The moment they exited the elevator, they could sense the bustling crowd around them.
They were right in the middle of the holiday season.
Diana held Bettyâs hand, and walked to the end of the street. They paused for a moment when they saw the car sent over by the Hughes family, but realized that there was no one in the car.
Diana heaved an inward sigh of relief. Perhaps she was being too tense.
The driver said that he would be at her beck and call anytime, but he couldnât even wait for a short time.
How could he possibly be monitoring her, when there was an empty car parked there?
It must be the novels she had been reading that filled her mind with conspiracy theories.
Diana was no longer anxious about not being able to contact Julian. She could very well bring Betty around the place for a leisurely stroll.
She would go according to her original plan and visit the Hughes household before leaving Jacroaof.

Seize the chance to ask about Nina in person.
After Diana had made up her mind, she picked Jim a gift while she was shopping. It was a simple document folder.
Jim was frequently engaged in experiments, so he would surely have a use for this. Giving him this didnât seem too elaborate or overly-flattering. It was a thoughtful gift, too.
When she visited the Hughes household and saw Jim, it would be easy to talk about Nina and the heartless thing that happened.
Betty saw Diana decide on a gift, and waited for her to make payment.
There were many people lining up to buy things, and they needed to join the line.
Betty stood at a side and waited. While doing that, she took a photo of Diana and sent it to Julian. She had been sending Julian messages since they boarded the plane in the morning.
âDaddy, Mommy and I are boarding the plane.â
âDaddy, Iâm rubbing Mommyâs shoulders.â
âDaddy, Iâm massaging Mommyâs back.â
âDaddy, are you resting well? I kind of miss you. Donât worry, Iâll definitely take good care of Mommy!â
The moment Julian clicked open his messaging app, he saw the strings of texts Betty sent him. He didnât respond to any of her messages.
Betty wondered what Daddy was doing. She was really beginning to miss him.
She hurriedly took a picture of Diana carrying some bags and lining up to make payment.
âMommyâs buying a present for you! Reply to my messages the moment you see them!â
