Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 234
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Whenever Vans saw Julian, hesitation would arise in his heart as he would think about the babies.
Regardless of how Julianâs relationship with Diana was, Vans wanted to let his good friend know the truth. At the very least, he wanted Julian to have a choice.
To Vans, Julianâs insistence on forcing Diana to abort the baby was because thought it was Oliverâs.
Julian was simply jealous.
Once he knew the children were his, perhaps⦠Perhaps he would change his mind.
But ifâ¦if, as Diana said, Julian couldnât tolerate any woman other than Kayla having his child, what would happen to the babies in Dianaâs belly?
Recently, such thoughts would pop into Vansâs mind whenever he saw Julian. His heart would be torn in different directions.
And Julian could obviously tell something was wrong with his friend.
âThe last two times we met, you look like you have something to tell me,â Julian said as he refilled his glass.
Vans froze and tried to deny it, but Julian kept on pressing.
âHere, drink up first.â
There were too many things on Vansâs mind, and he failed to notice that Julianâs eyes were clearing up as time passed. Vans only cared about venting his frustration through drinking, so he readily accepted the glass.
âOkay.â
The two continued drinking, and soon, they had finished two more bottles of whiskey. By then, Vansâs face had turned completely red.
As a doctor, Vans was always on an emergency call. He also had low high alcohol tolerance, so he usually drank very little when they went out.
However, Julian had noticed something very wrong with him in the past two times they met. Thus, he came up with the idea to drink with Vans. Vans didnât have his guard up around Julian, and he had been fooled into drinking much more than usual. He was drunk to the point his face was plastered on the table; he couldnât even open his eyes.
âWake up,â Julian said, patting Vansâs face.
But Vans was as drunk as one could be, and Julian was even more certain than ever that his friend was hiding something from himâsomething related to him.
What was it?
Julian was never interested in wasting time trying to figure out what others were thinking. When he couldnât guess, he preferred more direct means.
He gently patted Vansâs face so the other man could sober up, and demanded sharply, âTell me, what exactly are you hiding from me?â
Vans felt the world around him spinning, like hundreds of horses were trampling around merrily in his brain. Suddenly, there were many Julians in front of him. He choked as he tried to focus on Julianâs features. This was his good friend, one that he grew up with; and yet, he was helping others hide the fact that Julian had childrenâ¦
âIâm sorry,â Vans blurted out, gasping for breath as his heart constricted from the guilt gnawing on him.
Iâm so sorry, Julian.â
What had Vans done to the point that he needed to apologize?
Laughter flooded Julianâs eyes, and he said, âItâs okay. Just tell me what you did. Thereâs no need for apologies once you tell me.â
His voice was gentle; it sounded alluring and carried a hint of compulsion. âIt doesnât matter what it is.
Iâll always forgive you.â
Tears gathered in Vansâs eyes. Just like when they were younger, Vans reached out to hug Julian and said through his tears, âJâJulian⦠Youâre always such a good manâ¦!â
It really felt like the world had been suffocating these days.
Julian continued along the same lines and asked again, âSo tell me, what exactly have you hidden from me?â
âItâs nothing, really. Justâ¦â Vansâs eyes brightened up suddenly. âYouâre going to be a father!â
Julian stiffened at Vansâs unexpected words. There was a roaring in his ears, and he suddenly found it difficult to move.
âAndâ¦youâll haveâ¦two!â Vans said, grinning widely as he thumped his chest. âAnd⦠Itâs allâ¦because of me!â
Julian couldnât help but feel amused, despite the jarring situation. âWhat does me being a father have anything to do with you?â
Vans froze, and guilt flashed in his eyes. âIâI lied to you⦠That day, at the operating theater⦠Diana and I both lied to you.â
The operating theater?
Vans and Diana had worked together to lie to him?
Julianâs eyes were wide, filled with disbelief. When he next spoke, his voice was ice. âYou mean, you saved the fetus on Dianaâs belly?!â
Vans nodded. âYes⦠Itâs your flesh and blood, after all. I justâ¦couldnât do itâ¦! Julian, I couldnât⦠They also⦠became twoâ¦instead of just one!â
