Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 166
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
This was bliss!
That was the only thought in Dianaâs mind as she picked up her utensils and took a bite of her hot noodles and a sip of her spicy soup. Popping a piece of meat in her mouth, she savored the flavor on her tongue as her toes curled in satisfaction.
Oh, it was just so delicious!
As she ate, she added more vinegar to the dish. The more she ate, the more hungry she got. She managed to finish two servings in a single sitting.
Whoa, she really broke the record this time! She had thought it would be impossible for her to finish both dishes.
She hadnât expected her appetite to be so good. It mustâve been because it had been a stressful day trying to hide and endure everything Julian threw at her today. Now that most of the things had been resolved, she was binge eating!
After a satisfying meal, she couldnât resist the urge to rest.
Even so, she still forced her tired body to collect the takeaway containers and head downstairs to throw them in the rubbish bin that the servants used. That way, Julian wouldnât find out about this⦠Right?
But when she snuck back into her bedroom, she suddenly realized there was someone else in her bed.
âDiana.â
Julian narrowed his eyes as he sniffed the air that was heavy with the smell of vinegar. âYour taste seems to change frequently, and youâve been eating a lot lately.â
Was it because the Fulcher family kitchen wasnât providing enough food for her? To the point she needed to call for takeaway in secret?
Never mind that she had ordered takeaway, but eating junk food was bad for her health! She just had at miscarriage. Shouldnât she be more concerned about her body?
A wave of anger washed through Julian when he thought about her not caring about her health.
Dianaâs legs turned weak when she saw the man before her. She didnât know why Julian was in her room. Even though she called it her bedroom, essentially, this was the room they both shared. While Kayla had lived here, he hadnât entered it.
So, Diana didnât think they would be in this situation now, and that Julian would be on her bed.
Wait! Did he mean that her eating spicy and sour food was abnormal? He couldnât have figured out that she still had the baby, right?
D*mn!
Diana became increasingly worried as thousands of thoughts ran through her mind. She hurriedly ran to the window to open it and air the room, hoping it would elevate Julianâs suspicion.
âIâve hadâ¦strange tastes lately, making me want to eat different things.â
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She tried to recall how Kayla would play the role of a pitiful victim, and mimicked the latterâs pitiful tone. âThese are all symptoms of pregnancy⦠I donât know why I still have them. I donât have the baby anymore, but the symptoms arenât going away.â
The question of the babyâs father aside, Diana was still ultimately the babyâs mother, and Julian had denied. her the right to be one.
In fact, he had denied her that right for the past three years.
The guilt Julian had shoved ruthlessly to the bottom of his heart came rushing back with a vengeance, and he didnât pursue the matter. He simply frowned and said, âYou should take care of your health and not eat so much junk food.â
Diana didnât think her tactic of acting pitiful and shedding some tears would work so well in dispelling Julianâs suspicion, but she easily rolled with it and said, âOkay.â
Julian hadnât seen such vulnerability in Diana for a long time, and he sighed somewhat helplessly. âIf you suddenly have any cravings, just let me know next time. Iâll get someone to buy it for you. You donât have to sneak around and order takeaway like this again.â
Dianaâs eyes widened in surprise when she heard that.
He wouldâ¦buy it for her?
It wasnât like they were back to their intimate relationship, right?
Julian obviously picked up her question by the look on her face, so he added uncomfortably, âGrandma will think Iâm making it up to you when she finds out. Sheâll be happy to know that Iâm treating you better, and it will make her lower her guard sooner.â
His words washed away any confusion she had, and she immediately understood. It wasnât like Julian cared about her anyway, right? It was impossible he was concerned and wanted to buy her food whenever she had cravings. He simply wanted to put on a realistic act for the sake of getting a divorce.
But⦠Wasnât he putting a little too much effort into this?
Diana glanced at the man lying on the bed, his collarbone inadvertently revealed when he shifted. She blushed at the sight of his exposed skin.
