Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 347
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian was alert the entire time. Even though the rain was heavy, he kept his eyes and ears open as he monitored the surroundings at all times. If there was any abnormality, he would spot it immediately.
The only problem was that he was soaked to the bones in the downpour.
When he reached the corner, he finally made it out of Scenery Street. The road conditions here were clearly much better; there were no floating manhole covers on the waterâs surface, and the water flowed neatly into the drainage channel. There was no water stuck on the road, either.
It was also further proof that something had been intentionally done to make Scenery Street a danger zone.
Who would dare attack him so blatantly?
Julian thought about it for a while, but he couldnât think of anyone who would have the guts to do so.
However, he wasnât worried. His enemies had gone out of their way to plan an attack on him, so they would definitely show themselves soon enough.
He just needed to be extra cautious.
His shoes were filled with water, and felt heavy as he trudged through the rain. He caught sight of a store along the street that was still open, so he went in and bought a change of clothes and shoes as well as an umbrella. Pulling out his phone, he noted there was finally a signal on it. It vibrated continuously as the messages and missed calls started coming in, and he noted it was all from Diana.
As he thought, she was really worried.
Julian hurriedly called her and asked, âWhere are you?â
When Diana heard his voice, the stuffy feeling in her chest loosened immediately. âIâm almost at your company.â
She looked around outside and added, âThereâs a bit of a traffic jam here.â
Looking at the driver, she asked, âWhat street are we on?â
âRed Light Street.â
Julian was familiar with the road. âTell the driver to find a place to stop. Donât drive toward Scenery Street.â
It was fortunate he had made it out in time and managed to get in touch with Diana. Otherwise, in less than ten minutes, they would have been on Scenery Street; once they were there, it would have been difficult to get out of the place.
The driver was obedient and agreed readily. âUnderstood, Mr. Fulcher.â
Diana was relieved. âAre you done with your work?â
âYeah.â
âDo you want to come to Red Light Street so we can go home together?â
âYes,â Julian replied immediately, looking out into the distance. âYou guys just stay there. Iâll be there soon.â
Diana nodded. âOkay.â
Although Julian said he would be there soon, there was still no sign of him after an hour. Diana called him again, but no one answered.
âMaâam!â
The driver, who was also anxiously waiting and looking around, suddenly saw a familiar figure and pointed. âSir is on the left side! Heâs coming!â
Diana rolled down the window slightly and squinted. âThatâs ot him, but he does look alike.â
The driver wasnât that familiar with Julian, and it wasnât strange that he hadnât gotten it right.
But Diana was well aware, because the coat he had worn this morning was a matching set with hers; it was dark blue with a black shirt underneath. The man on the street wore completely different clothes from what Julian wore this morning.
Diana turned away and slowly rolled the window back up. Before it was completely closed, she heard a passerby comment, âThis rain is a serious disaster. Itâs so heavy that people canât see the road. Did you hear that someone died ahead at the intersection? It was terrible! The rain quickly washed away the blood, but the smell was very strong.â
Someone died? Bloodâ¦and the calls that wouldnât go throughâ¦!
Diana was restless after hearing that, but she was also afraid that something would happen to her and burden others. Thus, she said to the driver, âJohn, go down and take a look, please.â
The driver understood quickly and got out of the car, turning to head to the intersection but not before trying to assure her, âDonât worry, maâam. Iâm sure Mr. Fulcher is alright.â
