Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 317
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana didnât have time to laugh at him before Julian gently pulled her down to lie on the carpet with him.
It was a topâquality cashmere carpet that had been imported from Persia. The price per square meter of this was enough to buy a small apartment in the city. It was very comfortable, and there wasnât any discomfort when lying on it.
Julian had bought this when he learned she was pregnant and was afraid she would fall.
âTo be honest, I want daughters.â Julian was in a chatty mood, and he continued talking. âBut Iâm afraid that I wonât be able to change my stinky attitude and will influence them. Still, Iâll try my best.â
His face turned grave, and he continued, âHoney, you can supervise me.â
He would never be hot and cold like he had in the past toward Diana. In the future, he would try his best to express his feelings whenever he wanted to.
Julianâs eyes were affectionate, and his voice was gentle.
Diana was in a daze, and somehow ended up kissing him.
When she pulled back, she panicked and averted her eyes.
âYou liar,â Diana said with a pout. âJust now, you said you hoped theyâd be boys, but now youâre saying you hope theyâll be girls.â
âSons would be nice too,â Julian conceded, looking torn. âIâd like to have sons that take after you, Julian suddenly cut himself off abruptly.
âWhat is it?â Diana asked.
butâ¦â
ââ¦Donât get mad if I say it, okay?â Julian said, reaching out as he cradled Dianaâs head in the crook of his arm, pulling them close to each other.
âI wonât,â Diana said, her heart feeling content and secure.
She felt even more assured than in the past three years, and spoke in a light voice, âTell me.â
Julian held her tighter and said, âActually, I wish theyâd be girls, but my family has never had any luck with daughtersâ¦â
His grandmother had experienced it, and so had his parents.
Madam Fulcher had wanted a daughter, and his parents had also wanted to give him a sister. Yet, something happened to both generations after that.
âIâm a little superstitious when it comes to this,â Julian confessed, bringing his deceased parents in front of Diana for the very first time. âI always feel like something will happen to you if I said I wanted girls.
But the babies in your belly are our children, and I donât want them to bring you misfortune.â
After saying that, he sneered, âAm I not a bad daddy? Cursing his own children that theyâd bring bad luck to their Mommyâ¦â
âThatâs not cursing them,â Diana said quickly, and leaned more into his arms. âWhether our babies are boys.
or girls, theyâll be safe and sound.â
Her declaration held an inexplicable firmness and strength, and it gradually quieted the doubts in Julianâs heart.
This was the real reason he had hoped their children would be boys.
Diana could sense his nervousness and anxiety, so she said warmly, âTell me about your parents.â
This was the first time they talked about Julianâs deceased parents.
âThey died when I was four. To many kids, that was still an age where they donât remember much,â
Julian started. âBut I remember clearly⦠Their faces, their movements when they died in the car accident⦠They also talked about giving me a sister before the end of the yearâ¦â
After that, Julian also told her many of his interesting childhood stories. However, those were all memories old. from before his parents passed away; when he was about three to four years He barely remembered anything before that and only had a vague recollection of his parentâs smiles, but not actually what happened back then.
âWhat happened after the age of four?â Diana asked.
âAfter fourâ¦â Julianâs voice suddenly turned dark, and a gloomy look flashed across his face for a moment, indicating that the years after were filled with vicissitudes.
Yet it was over quickly, and Diana heard him laugh softly before answering, âI donât remember.â
His laughter this time was completely unlike the previous one, where it was clear and free. Instead, it was filled with a sense of helplessness.
There were some things he definitely remembered, but he wasnât willing to talk about them.
Diana thought of what Madam Fulcher had mentioned before, about the hard times Julian had as a child. Her heart ached again.
Right now, she felt like she could even forgive Kaylaâs existence.
