Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 168
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana was afraid Julian would catch a cold. That would be troublesome, so she went to get a quilt and laid it over him before climbing into bed. Once she lay down, however, thoughts of how Kayla had used this bed made her feel uncomfortable. She couldnât settle down. However, Julian was already occupying the couch. Though he didnât explicitly say it, she knew he didnât want her sleeping there.
Diana couldnât understand what was going on in Julianâs mind, so she simply accepted this and tossed and turned all night. The following morning, she woke up with dark circles under her eyes as she didnât sleep well.
By then, Kayla was already sitting downstairs.
Kayla regretted returning to the Winnington residence last night, especially since she received a tongue- lashing from Lucy and understood her position better. Julian was already showing signs of being moved by Diana, and Kayla shouldnât have fallen for Dianaâs tricks and caused a scene.
Sure enough, when she returned early in the morning to put up a pitiful act for Julian, Mr. Carter informed her that Diana had moved back into the villa last night.
That stupid b*tch! She really knew how to exploit a situation!
So now, Kayla sat at the dining table, her gaze fixed on Diana. The scathing look she directed at Diana made it seem like Kayla wished looks could kill.
However, the angrier Kayla was, the more Diana could ignore the fact that Kayla had stolen her design.
Diana knew that if she didnât openly admit she was D&J, she couldnât do anything about Kayla at this stage. No one would go against Fulcher Inc. for her, as they wouldnât believe her.
Her main priority for now was to make Kayla unhappy, and her purpose had been achieved. In fact, Diana now felt a little glad that she moved back in last night, as it served to fuel Kaylaâs bad mood.
Either way, Diana wouldnât hold back when dealing with Kayla after this plagiarism incident. After all, holding back would only encourage such people to go rampant.
âYouâre here,â Diana said as she walked downstairs slowly, looking tired on purpose. âIâm a little tired from last night. Sorry to have kept you waiting.â
Wasnât Kayla a twoâfaced b*tch? Well, Diana could also use the same methods to deal with her, As expected, Kayla couldnât take the jab. Her face turned bitter. âJulianâ¦â
Kayla trailed off, seemingly choking on her words before continuing, âDid Julian sleep with you last night?â
âWeâre a married couple, so of course he did. Did you expect him to sleep with you at the Winnington residence instead?â Diana replied with a chuckle as she rubbed her sore back.
If Kaylaâs eyes could spit fire from how angry she was, Diana was certain she would be dead.
Diana still couldnât figure out why Julian wouldnât even touch Kayla up till now. It was strange because obviously, Kayla had spent more time with Julian than her.
Kayla was about to throw a fit, but thinking of Lucyâs instructions, she forced herself to hold back and greeted Diana with a smile. âYouâre tired out from last night? Iâm not feeling well, so Iâll have to trouble you a little longer.â
In other words, Diana was her standâin, so this was something she was also substituting for Kayla Sure enough, Dianaâs face soured slightly when the matter was brought up. It was a wound she had buried deep in her heart, and it was puzzling to her that Kayla would know to bring it up in a situation like this.
When Kayla saw the shift of emotions on Dianaâs face, she smiled smugly. Her mother was right. To be a proper lady, one had to be calm and endure..
She even took the initiative to get up and pull out a chair for Diana. âCome and sit. Breakfast has been prepared.â
With that said, she called out to Mr. Carter. âHave them serve the food. Iâll check on Julian.â
She acted as if she was already the mistress of the residence and a proper hostess.
Diana couldnât help but shake her head and lamented how overeager Kayla was. The key to Diana and Julianâs divorce was actually Madam Fulcher, so Kayla was putting in effort in all the wrong places in Dianaâs eyes.
She was entirely devoted only to Julian.
When Diana observed this, Kayla didnât seem too terrifying anymore. She definitely wasnât a threat to her or her babyâs safety. It was her parents and Julianâs attitude and bias for Kayla over Dian that had made Diana subconsciously exaggerate Kaylaâs ability.
Kayla stood from her seat. Seeing the dazed look on Dianaâs face, she smiled and deliberately moved forward, raising her legâ¦.
And stomping down on Dianaâs feet.
