Chapter 723
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian saw through Kikiâs thoughts instantly, and said, âWeâre getting remarried today.â
He was determined not to give anyone the chance to say that he and Diana werenât husband and wife.
As for Diana, he held her hand tightly and told her, âDonât be afraid. No matter what happens to you, Iâll be with you. Even if you have a terminal illness, Iâll never give up. Even if I have to search the world for renowned doctors, Iâll definitely cure you.â
His tone was filled with sorrow, his eyes expressing deep affection mixed with sadness. Diana couldnât help but laugh and gently tapped his forehead. âWhat are you thinking?â
Julian froze. âWhatâs wrong?â
Everyone around him was acting so mysteriously. Was it because Diana had a terminal illness and they couldnât bring themselves to tell him, so he had to wait for Diana to reveal it herself?
âTake a look at this,â she said, utterly speechless about Julianâs thought process. âSeriously, how can such a capable CEO be so clueless?â
She handed him the lab report she had hidden behind her.
Julian looked down and saw the words written on it, but was confused.
What was this? Progesterone? The word âpregnancyâ was in thereâ¦
Was Diana pregnant?!
The thought of this possibility made his hands tremble. He quickly took out his phone to search for what the word meant, but in his haste, he accidentally dropped it.
The screen shattered.
Thisâ¦didnât seem like a good sign.
His heart skipped a beat, and he dared not search any further.
âDiana, please tell me,â Julian pleaded. âI saw the words on the report and thought you were pregnantâ¦â
But how could that be possible?
She didnât even have her period since her miscarriage. Her body wasnât ready yet, and without ovulation, pregnancy was impossible.
Something unfortunate must have happened, which was why she hesitated and didnât want to tell him.
Diana had considered various possible reactions from Julian when he found out she was pregnant, but she didnât expect it to be the current one.
She couldnât help but roll her eyes and say, âYes, Iâm pregnant.â
When Kiki told him earlier that she was pregnant, Julian didnât seem this incredulous. Why did he act like a fool now that he was before her?
âWe were only apart for one month, and youâve turned silly?â Diana teased. âWill you still be able to support me and our babies in the future?â
The more Julian listened, the more confused he became. Various emotions flashed across his face, never settling on one.
âDiana⦠What are you saying? Why canât I understand anything?â
As he spoke, he held her hand and sat down on a chair in the hallway. His long legs stretched out in the middle of the corridor, attracting the attention of people around them.
Everyone wondered inwardly how such a good man could become so foolish!
His reaction amused Diana, who could barely contain her laughter. She took out the ultrasound scan she had done in the small seaside town.
âLook at this.â
Clearly written on it was âEarly Pregnancy.â
He read it softly, then said, âI know, itâs the same as Kikiâs.â
After Kiki had received the ultrasound scan with those words written on it, she had told him, âJulian, Iâm pregnant. Iâm really pregnant.â
Pregnant?
Once again, the word echoed in his mind and his hands trembled uncontrollably. He looked up at Diana, his eyes already turning red. âYouâreâ¦pregnant? Youâre reallyâ¦?â
âYes, I am!â Diana pointed to the image on the ultrasound scan. âLook here, two gestational sacs. This time, itâs twins.â
Twins!
Aster and Star were coming back!
