Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 170
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
If Julian insisted on continuing his probing, then Diana would insist on telling the complete truth. Sadly, Diana knew Julian didnât care about it at all.
Julian may go on and on about justice and fairness, but at the end of the day, he would still favor Kayla regardless of the facts.
What had Diana expected?
She laughed mockingly to herself. It was because Julian had given her the bed last night that she felt that perhaps he wasnât as cold and cruel as she thought.
In the end, that was only wishful thinking. It wasnât because of that.
It was only because Kayla wasnât around, and perhaps when he saw Dianaâs face last night, he only thought of Kayla and was considerate toward her.
She had spent three years as Julianâs standâin wife, so how could she not understand how he thought?
He treated her well because he was good to Kayla. In his mind, Diana Winnington didnât exist.
Diana was going to divorce him, and Kayla was the one he wanted to love and spoil. Diana had finally figured this out last night, and the reason for her restless night was ridiculous now that she thought of it.
She strode up to Julian, looking like she was about to apologize, but then simply put something in his pocket. Then she turned to Kayla and said, âByeâbye, birdbrain!â
Birdbrain?
For a moment, Julian and Kayla failed to react to what Diana meant by that. Kayla first came around and shrieked, âDid she just call me stupid?!!
Julian remained frozen before he finally realized that Diana had slipped something into his pocket. He lowered his head and pulled it out, to find that it was actually their marriage certificate.
Did she carry this around with her everywhere?
There was an imperceptible hint of happiness in Julianâs eyes, but he also quickly understood why Diana had thrown their marriage certificate and called Kayla a birdbrain.
This wasnât an apology. It was an insult!
Julian apologized to Kayla and quickly explained, âI shouldâve picked you up last night, but because of Grandma, I had to help Diana move back in. I didnât expect you to return so early in the morning or be ridiculed by Diana.â
Kayla stared at the document in his hand, her eyes burning with envy and jealousy as she looked at the two people in the photo. She tried her best to smile despite the burning rage. âI thought it was impolite to run off like that so suddenly⦠I was also afraid that youâd be worried, so coming back on my own was the least 1 could do.â
âBut doesnât this anger you?â
âNo,â Kayla said, gesturing to the marriage certificate in his hand. âItâs for the sake of our future, so I can put up with anything now.â
This implied that sooner or later, she and Julian would be married.
However, Julian didnât share the joy in her determination. Instead, he felt something heavy in his heart, but he was unwilling to think about it.
He said, âDonât worry. Iâll make sure Diana apologizes this time. She wonât have anything to eat until she does.â
Last night, Diana had ordered takeaway even though it had been late. Julian didnât believe Diana could endure it if he starved her!
He passed the instructions to the servants and spoke to Diana. Even though he informed her that she wouldnât have any food until she apologized, it didnât seem to affect her. He could even hear her humming after he left the room.
It seemed the period of withholding food from her wasnât long enough, so Julian ordered the servants not to bring any food to Diana in any shape or form, and returned to work.
When he returned home for dinner in the evening, Diana still hadnât come downstairs.
As for the servants, none of them had sent even a glass of water upstairs, as per Julianâs instructions.
