Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 243
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana didnât ask the question on purpose.
She only felt the urge to sigh and complain, but she didnât realize she had said it out loud.
However, this happened to be an issue all three of them were concerned with.
At that, Julian fell silent.
However, he never once took his eyes off her. There was a mysterious quality to him that made it impossible to tell how he was feeling.
The temperature in the dining room seemed to have dropped significantly.
Meanwhile, Kayla already stopped eating. She was looking at Julian expectantly.
She wanted to hear about the progress, too.
She couldnât keep staying in the Fulcher villa like this. Famous women in her social circle used to envy her for having moved in with the Fulchers, but now, there were rumors that Kayla wouldnât stop bugging Julian. This wasnât good for her reputation.
Meanwhile, Diana felt a little awkward over her accidental blunder. âUh⦠I didnât mean to say that.â
The more she tried to explain, the worse it became.
If she didnât mean to say that, it meant she felt so strongly about it that she blurted it out subconsciously.
Julian thought about her divorce plan, and raised his eyebrows. âWhy do you insist on getting divorced so close to the new year?â
Burp! Diana didnât respond to the question, but she had a biological reaction from being surprised.
She knew she wasnât supposed to bring up such a sensitive topic in front of Kayla.
Her words made it seem as if Julian was the one who wanted to postpone the divorce. That wouldnât bode well for his relationship with Kayla.
Hence, Julian mentioned a specific date to make it seem as if Diana was the one who wanted to drag things on.
Diana had no idea he had seen her divorce plan. âI never said it had to be close to the new year. The earlier we get divorced, the better. Itâs kind of awkward that all three of us are living under the same roof.â
She glanced at Kayla. âBesides⦠I just want to make things right for my little sister.â
In the morning, Diana expressed her dissatisfaction toward Kayla and claimed Kayla had made things up.
Now, she was addressing Kayla as her little sister.
It seemed she was a woman who would do anything to get what she wanted.
Julian looked at Diana. The chill in his gaze intensified.
Diana, for her part, thought she was already being very humble in front of Kayla. Was Julian still not satisfied?
The way he stared at her made her more and more uncomfortable. âWhen exactly can we get divorced?â she asked again.
Right now, she was practically forcing him to give her an answer!
âHave you thought about Grandma?â Julian didnât answer her, but he instead asked her a question in return.
Diana was stunned.
Grandma.
âOf course.â
If she hadnât thought about Grandma, she would have gotten the divorce papers at the Civil Affairs Bureau the other day. They wouldnât have needed to wait until today.
However, Julian smirked at her. âI donât think so.â
If Diana really did care about Grandma, why was she desperate to keep her pregnancy a secret when she knew Grandma wanted greatâgrandchildren? Why didnât she say anything?
âYour thoughts belong to you. They have nothing to do with me.â
Diana was used to the way Julian cruelly picked on her every fault. âAnyway, getting divorced is only a matter of time.â She glanced at Kayla before turning to face Julian. âIf you put your heart to it, weâll be able to get divorced sooner.â
Kayla suddenly felt nervous.
Initially, she was wary of Dianaâs warning that Julian didnât want the divorce. However, Julian had been good to her as usual, so she stopped worrying for a while.
Now that Diana had brought it up again, alarms sounded once again in Kaylaâs head. She couldnât resist asking Julian about the divorce. âJulian, letâs not make Diana worry. Why donât you tell her the progress?â
âIâm still dealing with the people Grandma hired to keep an eye on us,â Julian said. Kaylaâs prompt worked better, because he very quickly addressed the question. âAs for the exact timingâ¦â He trailed off before glancing at Diana.
âItâs hard to say. It might be a little difficult to get divorced when itâs close to the new year,â he added.
