Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 39
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
People she met on the way would greet her. âYoung Mistress.â
âYoung Mistress.â
Diana looked at her mother, who kept her head down and was walking in front of Diana, and felt a slight sense of belonging. Whenever a maid walked by, Diana would smile in acknowledgement.
However, those maids seemed a little surprised. They evidently walked faster after seeing her nod in their direction.
Diana didnât think much of it. Although this wasnât her first time coming to the Winnington familyâs house, it was the first time sheâd stayed here without getting into an argument. This feeling of warmth didnât come easy. And so, Diana appreciated it a lot.
After walking through a 30âfeetâlong corridor, Diana and Kate finally arrived in the dining room. There was a large, round table in the dining room. It looked much more suitable for a big family than the long table in the Fulcher familyâs dining room.
âHave a seat.â Kate might not have a lot to say, but she no longer seemed as angry as before. Diana could sense Kate was actually being nice.
Diana looked around in the dining room, but her gaze eventually landed on Kate once again.
She suddenly felt as if she was stuck in a trance.
So⦠This was what it felt like to sit with her own mother at the dining table.
Diana felt warm in her chest. She removed her earrings. âHere. These are for you.â
Kate seemed a little surprised. âWhy are you giving these to me?â
âI didnât bring any gifts today.â Diana knew Kate liked the earrings, but she didnât want to make it too obvious. âI wasnât considerate enough. Just keep them.â
These earrings were highâquality tripleâloop jade earrings. Kate had a look of pleasant surprise in her eyes, and her smile grew wider. âOh, silly child. This is your home. Why are you being so polite?â
Diana glanced at Kate with surprise. She couldnât believe Kate would say something like this.
Suddenly, she regretted not having visited Kate once since she got married.
Kate might have been waiting for her to show her vulnerable side. As long as Diana took the first might try to accept her. After all, they were mother and daughter.
step, Kate With this thought in mind, Diana mustered the courage to stand up while removing her earrings. She then asked a maid to bring some alcohol to disinfect the earrings before personally helping Kate to put them on. Donât move,â Diana said.
â
She held onto a somewhat panicâstricken Kate. âItâs almost done.â
Diana touched Kateâs ears. Her touch felt like a warm fire in the middle of winter. Kateâs heart instantly melted. Her daughterâ¦
Kate owed her far too much.
She couldnât resist grabbing Dianaâs hand. She was about to say something when a womanâs shrill voice interrupted her thoughts. âMadam.â
The woman was Lucy Landon, the maid responsible for everything in the kitchen. âWhen did Miss Diana come home? Why didnât you inform me? None of the ingredients in the kitchen are to her liking.
This makes me look bad.â
Lucy was merely a maid, but she sounded as if she was reprimanding Kate.
Diana looked at Lucyâs outfit. Lucy was wearing highâend clothing, and even her apron was from L.
Lucyâs sudden interruption disrupted the peaceful environment Diana and Kate had worked so hard to create.
Diana decided from a single glance that she didnât like this woman.
Besides, she couldnât recall anyone in the Winnington family knowing the kind of food she liked.
In fact, even Kate might not know what Diana liked or didnât like eating.
However, it might be the case that the maid was cooperating with Kate. She intentionally said they didnât have many ingredients in the kitchen to show how much they valued Diana. It was their way of showing Diana respect.
After all, Diana was greeted by many maids on her way here. It wouldnât be surprising if the entire Winnington family knew about her return.
Diana was in a good mood, so she was able to let things slide and be the bigger person. âItâs fine. I can eat anything.â
Lucy seemed to look down on Diana for a brief moment, but she managed to conceal it very well. Her emotions didnât show when she looked at Diana. âIn that case, Iâll get the kitchen staff to prepare a few dishes.â
