Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 55
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 55 Diana found what Kate said entirely laughable. The Winningtons joined hands and forced her into a corner, and that was supposed to be good for her? Helping her?
The outcome of their last meeting was still clear in her mind. This time, Diana was guarded against Kayla. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she asked calmly, âWill this be the same as what happened before, when Julian misunderstood and thought I was the one who took the initiative to meet up with Kayla with the intention of hurting her, so that heâd make life hell for me?â
âWho do you think you are?! Are you worthy of President Fulcherâs time and energy?â James was getting annoyed. âFour days later, Kayla will pass you the first batch of money at Springlake Garden.
Itâll be at three in the afternoon, so donât be late.â
Four days later?
Dianaâs heart sank. That coincided with the time Luke was released from prison. She had wanted to hide at home and avoid going out during that period, yet now, she had to head out to meet Kayla.
Why was it that she couldnât meet Kayla when she wanted to, yet now that she didnât want to meet her, Kayla insisted on meeting her?
She had no choice but to prepare herself in case of any accidents.
After returning to the Fulcher mansion, Diana packed up her belongings into a suitcase and brought it downstairs.
Julian intercepted her. âAre you going to the Winningtons again?â
She had been going there frequently, which was not a good sign to Julian.
Diana initially wanted to tell Julian about Kayla asking to meet her again, but given how things have progressed, she was thankful she didnât. It wouldâve been a foolish move on her part. âNo,â she said expressionlessly. âIf I stayed there and upset Kayla, what would happen? Wouldnât everyone skin me alive?â
Her statement made Julian swallow the words in his throat.
âItâs good that you remember your lesson from last time.â Julian hesitated for a moment and rubbed his nose uneasily. âWhatever it is, itâs better that you donât see them.â
He didnât want Diana to collapse as she did last night. He only felt relieved when Noel reported to him that Diana went to Ninaâs place.
âYou donât even bother hiding your bias.â Diana thought that Julian was solely concerned for Kayla.
âStep aside!â
Julian refused to do so, and even moved his face right in front of her. âArenât you the least bit concerned about the wound on my forehead? Arenât you worried about the teeth marks you left on my arm?â
The subtle scent of pinewood drifted into her nose as Diana looked at the plaster on Julianâs forehead.
She stared into his chilly, deep eyes for a tad longer than she should before turning her eyes away awkwardly.
Donât look at him, she warned herself. Look at him and youâll become softhearted and want to stay by his side.
The moment he chose Kayla, their relationship was doomed to never return to what it was in the past.
Diana sighed. âJulian Fulcher, there are hordes of doctors fighting for your attention at home, and you want me to look at your wound. Are you trying to make me pay? Or compensate you for hitting you?
Why donât you bill me for every single mouth of water Iâve drunk and every grain of rice Iâve eaten in the Fulcherâs house so I can pay off my debt once and for all?â
How could she think that of him?
Julianâs eyes turned red as anger filled his heart like a beast trapped in a cage. He fixed his eyes on Diana, wanting to explain everything to her, but his words died on his lips before he could utter them.
Just then, Noel piped up, âMadam, you didnât come home last night. Sir was so worried that he stayed up the from entire night. Heâs worried something might happen to you today, which is why heâs trying to stop you heading out. Donât be angry. Give me your suitcase first, and Iâll take it back to your room.â
âNo need,â Diana spat back cynically, âheâll never be worried for me. Heâs probably worried Iâd hurt Kayla and heâs keeping a close eye on me here. Heâs just concerned that Iâll go to the Winningtons and bump into Kayla there, which would be bad for her.â
At Dianaâs mention of Kayla, Noel couldnât think of anything else to say to convince Diana to say.
Strangely, Julianâs mood took a turn for the better. He suddenly stood up, walked past her suitcase on the floor, and stopped right before Diana. âYou keep talking about Kayla. Are you jealous of her?â
Instead of panicking, Diana admitted openly, âYes, I am jealous. What about you? Are you also jealous when you mention Oliver?â
