Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 51
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Dianaâs long fringe blocked off the cynical gleam in her eyes. âDonât worry. I wonât hurt your darling, and I wonât see her either.â
âOnce I get the money, Iâll take the baby away from this place of misery for good,â Diana thought.
What was the point of being humiliated time and time again?
Julian swallowed past his constricted throat as he stared at her retreating figure. He felt as if his heart was gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Even he did not realize that his face had gone ashen, and that his breath was shaky. âDiana! Where are you going?â
Diana didnât respond to him, and she didnât turn back.
She simply walked forward silently, until she was through the main entrance of the mansion.
At that moment, Julian dared not chase after her.
âSir.â Noel noticed something wrong with Julianâs expression and tried to divert his attention. âWe received a package in Madamâs name. Do you wish to take a look?â
Julian snapped back to reality and said tiredly, âContinue having someone watch over Diana. Make sure nothing happens to her.â
Noel nodded and caught up with him.
Julian opened the package and saw the pair of earrings.
He glanced at the senderâs name. Kate Renforth.
It seemed the lesson he taught her previously was not enough. That woman was still repeatedly getting involved between him and Diana.
Anger flashed past the depths of Julianâs eyes. He immediately gave James a call.
âAre the Winningtons no longer interested in the West Union project?â
James was in bed with another woman, who he quickly pushed away. A mix of panic and reverence could be heard in his voice as he sputtered, âPresident Fulcher, weâve been following up closely on the project. Did we do something wrong to upset you in any way?â
âYou know very well what your family has done.â Nonetheless, Julianâs succinct reply was intimidating.
Even through the phone, it was effective in scaring James so much that he felt weak in the knees. It was only after the call ended that he managed to calm down and breathe normally once again. He glared hard at the woman next to him. âHas Julian been fighting with Kayla recently?â
âNo,â Loraine, the woman, replied. âKayla told me that Julian treats her very well, and was even willing to get a divorce for her sake.â
A cheerful glint flashed past her eyes as she went on, âJames, when our daughter Kayla officially becomes. Mrs. Fulcher, will you make me your official wife too? I donât want to stay in the kitchen and wait on that old hag anymoreâ¦â
âShut up!â Jamesâ mind was in a mess and he pushed her away, annoyed. âThink carefully. Did anyone visit our house recently?â
âDiana?â Loraine arched her brows as she pondered. âShe visited recently, and even had a meal with Kate.â
Since when did the motherâdaughter pair become so close?!
This would not do!
Feeling slightly guilty, James jumped on his feet, quickly put on his clothes, and rushed back to the Winnington residence. He kicked Kateâs door open and yelled, âWhy did you have a meal with Diana?
Arenât you even worried about upsetting Kayla?â
Kate was rather surprised by Jamesâ response.
âDianaâs our daughter, too.â Just now, Kate even cruelly rushed Diana into a divorce. Kateâs fingers were still trembling from their conversation just now. âWhatâs more, Kayla isnât as petty as you think she is. So what if I shared a meal with Diana?â
âKaylaâs not petty, but I feel sorry for her since she canât be with Julian yet!â
Guilt surged through Jamesâs heart as he saw the questioning look in Kateâs eyes. He lifted his hand to wipe the sweat from his brows as he toned down a little.
âItâs not that you donât know that things only look good on the outside for our family, and weâre all spent on the inside. Weâre no longer in the glory days of the past, and weâre solely dependent on the little bit of money weâre earning from the project with the Fulchers. Why do you think Julianâs being so helpful to us? Isnât it all because of Kayla? In choosing between our two daughters, you canât be foolish!â
