Chapter 800
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Thankfully, Julian didnât pursue the matter.
If he did, Noel would have been in deep trouble.
Noel sent them into the house. âPlease head upstairs first. Iâll head out to buy something.â
Diana thought he wanted to buy something for himself, and didnât ask any further.
A while later, he brought back bags of fruits and some nutritional products.
When Mrs. Lay opened the door to let him in, Diana almost jumped back in fright by the sheer amount of things Noel bought.
âMadam, you need to load up on nutrition.â
Julian could only get better if Diana got better.
If Julian got better, things would start looking up for all of them who served Julian.
There wasnât much space to begin with; with all the things that Noel brought, the space felt even more cramped.
âI canât finish them all. You bought so many things!â Diana said. âI appreciate the thought, but please donât leave these things here.â
How could Noel let that happen?
He waved his hands profusely as he walked toward the exit, as if he were fleeing for his life. âLeave them all here, just leave them all here.â
He had a feeling these things wouldnât go to waste.
Mrs. Lay jumped in and persuaded Diana as well. âHe probably feels terrible that you knelt.â
She then added, âJust take them. Heâll feel better only if you accept these things.â
Her words shocked Diana even more.
She didnât expect Mrs. Lay to know about her kneeling before Noel.
Yet, none of them blamed her for it.
Noel was even trying to find ways to make it up to her, such as buying all these things.
An inexplicable emotion filled Dianaâs heart. In any case, she no longer felt so resistant toward the people who worked for Julian.
Diana gestured to the couch and invited Mrs. Lay to rest for a while. âHave a seat.â
âIâm not tired.â Mrs. Lay poured Diana a glass of water. âYou should rest first.â
She wanted to mop the floor and disinfect the house first before Julian brought the twins back.
She didnât want the twins to come in contact with germs which might be harmful forthem.
Diana couldnât talk Mrs. Lay out of it and simply let her be.
Despite that, Mrs. Lay was being way too considerate.
Even while she was busy doing chores, the moment she saw a dip in the water level of Dianaâs cup, she would immediately come by and fill it up to the brim again.
The moment Diana furrowed her brows, Mrs. Lay would immediately come by and ask if she was feeling any discomfort, or if she needed anything at all.
The attitude Mrs. Lay displayed made Diana feel as if she was the one who paid money and engaged the former to work for her.
She supposed that given the wealth and power the Fulcher wielded, the quality of their servants was probably top notch.
That was probably why Mrs. Lay and Noel respected her so much.
However, Diana wasnât at all used to the attention both Mrs. Lay and Noel were paying her.
She looked around at the nutritional products around the house and, for the first time, felt troubled over the sheer amount of things in her house.â How long am I going to take before I finish them all?â
She hated seeing food go to waste. âMrs. Lay, please take some along with you before you leave.â
Mrs. Lay chuckled.
Having spent the whole day with Diana, she began believing that Diana had her reasons for leaving three years ago, just as Julian believed so.
âI wonât do something like that,â Mrs. Lay said gently. âThese are Noelâs gifts to you. How can I take them?â
What kind of a person would Mrs. Lay be if she were to take them?
Julian had already paid her handsomely for her work.
She would be greedy if she were to take what belonged to Diana.
âJust get well, and all of us will be happy.â
Her words warmed Dianaâs heart.
She was about to chat more with Mrs. Lay and ask her about Julianâs relationships, to see if she could identify the reason behind him refusing to let the twins go when someone knocked on the door.
It was Julian with the twins.
Diana immediately stood up, having forgotten about her pain and injury. She pulled the door open and stretched her arms out, preparing to receive her two children in her embrace.
She did not expect to hug Julian first.
He was too tall.
Her outstretched arms coincided with his waist.
Sean and Betty were both in his arms, one on each side.
