Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 314
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âSure,â Julian replied easily.
Seeing that Diana was really embarrassed, he stopped teasing her and took the bowl of soup Mr.
Carter handed him.
It was Greek lemon soup, which was especially good for pregnant women. He had checked the recipe personally and asked the chef to make it.
When Julian took the bowl, Mr. Carterâs heart was on edge. He was afraid Julian would keep that bowl for himself. Fortunately, the bowl with the drug in it eventually reached Diana.
She took a sip. âIt tastes good.â
Soon, the bowl was empty.
Mr. Carter breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, and relaxed.
âPlease enjoy your dinner, sir, maâam. Feel free to call me if you need anything else.â
When Julian heard this, he raised his brows and shot Mr. Carter a sharp look.
All of a sudden, Mr. Carter felt like there were thousands of knives above his head. The pressure was so intense that he almost couldnât lift his head. He couldnât think of what to say in this situation, and prayed fervently that Julian couldnât tell what was on his mind.
âHave you been overworked lately, Mr. Carter?â
Mr. Carter froze. âNâNo, Sir.â
âIf youâre tired, you can always request leave from me,â Julian said, turning away slowly.
It was rare to see Julian speaking in such a slow and intimidating manner. It meant that he was a little angry.
Mr. Carter didnât understand what he had done to annoy Julian, and he didnât dare to ask. He simply nodded repeatedly.
âYes, sir.â
After Mr. Carter left, Diana asked, âWhy are you acting like this with Mr. Carter?â
It was strange and scary to see Julian with such a cold look.
âItâs nothing,â Julian said, not wanting to talk about how he felt at the moment.
There was something strange going on with Mr. Carter. But since he was one of the oldest people in the Fulcher family and also Noelâs father, Julian shook off those thoughts.
âMaybe itâs just Iâm not in a good mood lately. I wonât do it again.â
Julian saw the shock on Dianaâs face; he softened his voice and added, âIâll listen to my wife.â
Oh my god! The words that came from this manâs mouth could literally kill someone with its sweetness.
Dianaâs heart pounded wildly in her chest. Suddenly, she thought about what she and Madam Fulcher had talked about the previous night. She couldnât help but say, âJulianâ¦â
âHmm?â
âDo you prefer boys or girls?â
Julian answered without hesitation, âI like both.â
âJust pick one,â Diana insisted. âTheyâre identical twins, so theyâll be the same gender.â
It was unlikely that they would be twins of different genders, as Madam Fulcher had hoped for.
However, Diana hadnât wanted to burst the older womanâs bubble, so she hadnât corrected Madam Fulcher.
Today, though, she wanted a definite answer from the man before her.
Julian put down the cutlery in his hand and considered it. âBoys, I guess.â
Diana felt a pang of disappointment. âDonât you like girls?â
What if her babies werenât boys?
Would Julian hurt them�
Before she could think any further, Julian raised his hand and rapt her smartly on the side of her head.
âDonât think up nonsense with that little head of yours,â he said, obviously seeing how her thoughts were quickly going in the wrong direction.
His voice was strangely hypnotizing and felt pleasing to Dianaâs ears. The mellow tone was enough to calm her heart unconsciously, and she couldnât help but smile shyly.
âHow did you know what I was thinking?â
âItâs in the way you looked at me,â Julian said, hesitating about continuing what was on his mind.
The way she looked at him was exactly the same as the time he had forced her into the operating theater.
He swallowed those words and instead said, âItâs easy to tell at a glance when you have that look on.â
Diana was speechless. Then, could he tell how disappointed she was when he said he hoped the babies would be boys?
