Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 308
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âNo, she isnât,â Julian replied, and he couldnât help but smile at the look on his grandmotherâs face. âAs always, you know better.â
He didnât know how he had fallen for her lies back then. It had been quite a bad one. Perhaps he was simply an idiot in love.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have realized it so late.
Madam Fulcher could tell that Julianâs mood took a plunge when she brought up this matter. Tere must be something in the misunderstanding that she wasnât aware about.
In the end, she didnât want to get too involved in their affairs. She only wanted to care for the people who were precious to her, so she didnât continue being petty with Julian and instead said, âThink about how youâre going to make it up to her and love her from now on. Itâs best to be like your grandfather, so that Diana will still think of you as much as I think of your grandfather after you die.â
Julian was speechless. Was there any other grandmother out in the world who would curse their grandson to die?
Madam Fulcher seemed to have read his mind, and the corners of her lips quirked upwards. âDonât worry. Iâll curse you again so you wonât die early.â
Julian, bewildered, couldnât help but blurt out, âWhat?â
The smile on Madam Fulcherâs face widened, and she continued in a somewhat solemn manner, âAs unpredictable as a tortoise you are, I hope you live on as long as one.â
Julian was speechless. The old woman had gone around in circles, but wasnât she simply cursing him at the end?
But since Madam Fulcher was probably taking out Dianaâs anger for her, he remained silent. Well, it was fine as long as both women were happy.
Diana had a change of clothes in her hand and was laughing as she approached them, clearly having heard the tail end of the conversation.
âLetâs go, Grandma. Leave this tortoise at home here, okay?â
Julian scoffed. âThen whatâs in your belly?â
Tortoise eggs?
âShut up.â Diana realized she had said the wrong thing, but reached up to twist Julianâs ear instead of punishing herself. âStop that nonsense!â
Julian was at a loss for words. He hadnât been the one to start it!
It was the two of them!
Why was he the consistent target tonight?
Amazingly, the ear Diana had twisted didnât hurt. He didnât feel annoyed at her scolding; rather, a sweetness lingered in the air. It was as sweet as honey as it slowly trickled into his heart.
His lips spread into a smile, an Diana kept looking at him from the rearview mirror until he was out of sight after the car turned a corner, and only then did she look away.
Madam Fulcher patted her hand, a wistful expression of someone who had once been in the same position. â Itâs better to leave them hanging sometimes.â
Diana smiled. âYouâre full of wisdom, Grandma.â
âOf course!â Madam Fulcher said, lifting her chin up proudly. âBack then, I always played hard to get with my late husband!â
She clenched her fist, waving it in the air, and said, âThen I held him firmly in my palms!â
Madam Fulcher was especially joyful every time she spoke of her late husband, and Diana couldnât help but say, âYou and Grandpa must have had a great relationship.â
Madam Fulcher suddenly turned quiet.
After a long time, she finally looked up again, and Diana saw that Madam Fulcher was crying. Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Diana hurriedly amended her words. âGrandma, I wasnât thinking-â
âI know.â Madam Fulcher suddenly sounded so old and fragile. She looked out the car window, not answering Dianaâs previous question. Rather, she whispered in a soft voice, âI just miss him.â
