Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 309
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Madam Fulcher looked up in the sky and said proudly, âI look up to the sky whenever I miss him, then I stop. That old man must think he misses me more than I do him, staring down at me all day.â
Though Madam Fulcher never mentioned loving him in the sentence, every word she said was filled with her affection for him.
Diana listened with envy, feeling a little emotional. She inwardly lamented and wondered if she would have the chance to be like Madam Fulcher in this life; to be so sure and confident in each otherâs love.
Even when life and death separated the old couple, Madam Fulcher still lived in the time of being loved.
Dianaâs nose was sore, and her eyes gradually reddened.
Madam Fulcher realized that the mood had gotten heavy. She didnât want the pregnant Diana to be depressed with her, so she quickly changed the topic and placed her hand carefully on Dianaâs stomach. âI was wondering why your taste was so different than before, and if the reason behind that was that you were pregnant. Who wouldâve thought it was true? And with twins, no less! Thatâs double the happiness!â
Diana knew Madam Fulcher was genuinely elated and was looking forward to the birth of her babies.
The more people loved her babies, the happier Diana was.
She reached out for Madam Fulcherâs hand and said sweetly, âItâs okay. They canât feel anything yet, so you donât have to be so careful.â
Madam Fulcher obviously knew this, but she was still cautious. âWith twins, youâll probably have a harder time after the fourth month.â
Diana could tell that Madam Fulcher was going to fuss over her. The latter was happy that Diana was pregnant, but was also worried about her health at the same time.
Though they werenât related by blood, in Dianaâs heart, Madam Fulcher had taken the place of her true birth parents.
She leaned against Madam Fulcher and said, âItâs okay, Grandma. Itâll be hard work, but itâll be a happy one.
Especially now that she didnât need to worry about hiding it from Julian, or worry about their safety; it was safe to say that things were going smoothly.
âI was also in the same state as you when I was pregnant with Julianâs father,â Madam Fulcher said quietly.
This was the first time Madam Fulcher had mentioned Julianâs parents; though Diana wanted to ask questions, she quickly swallowed the words when she saw the grief in the old womanâs eyes.
Losing her son at such a young age would forever pain her.
After that, the two turned to lighter topics, chatting more about the babies and Dianaâs pregnancy.
Before they knew it, they were already at the old manor.
Madam Fulcher exited the car first, then opened the car door for Diana.
âTake it easy.â
Madam Fulcher clearly needed more care, but she still prioritized Diana.
Diana felt warmed by the old womanâs concern. She was certain she had made the right decision to make up with Julian and not bring up the divorce anymore.
At least this way, she could still spend more time with her grandmother.
âI asked you to come over tonight because I wanted to give you something,â Madam Fulcher said as she led Diana inside and straight into the study.
She shuffled the papers on her desk for a while before pulling out a file and handing it to Diana. âHere, take a look.â
âThis isâ¦!â
Diana panicked after skimming through the contents, and tried to hand the file back to Madam Fulcher.
âIâI canât accept this!â
âItâs only Fulcher Inc.âs shares,â Madam Fulcher said. Her tone was light, but it felt like a hammer beating against Dianaâs heart.
Shares of Fulcher Inc.!
The famous group of companies, Fulcher Inc.!
Even if one only had one percent of the stock, it was enough to live a life without worry!
It was the largest business empire, and even those who were wealthy couldnât so easily reach the heights Fulcher Inc. had.
And here Madam Fulcher was, casually transferring these shares under Dianaâs name.
How could Diana accept such a valuable gift?
âI really canât accept this.â
âYou must,â Madam Fulcher insisted, a grave look on her face. âIâm not giving you a choice. Iâm giving you ten percent of the shares.â
Madam Fulcher was already confident that she had picked the right person, but the frightened look on Dianaâs face only heightened that confidence. She sighed and added, âI know youâre not a greedy person, and that you wouldnât ask for something like this. I didnât mean it that way by giving you these shares.
