Chapter 806
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The look on her face was the same as the look of enjoyment on Bettyâs face when she ate the dumplings.
Betty certainly loved the dumplings.
Julian pulled Diana, who was still standing there awkwardly, to a chair and sat herdown.
She was in such a daze that she didnât resist him drawing near her.
By the time she snapped back to attention, everyone was already eagerly preparing for the meal to begin.
If she were to bring up how he touched her shoulders, it might seem overly pretentious.
As such, she pretended nothing happened and stood up, saying, âIâll go wash my hands.â
âNo need for that,â Julian said as he brought a wash basin over. âYou shouldnât be moving your arm at all. Just wash them here.â
It wasnât like she had broken her legs.
âIâll just go to the washroom.â
With that, she stood up and headed to the washroom.
She left Julian standing all alone with the basin in his hand, looking disappointed.
Donât turn back.
Donât turn back.
Diana chanted to herself, as if trying to hypnotize herself.
This manâs face was simply too mesmerizing.
Coupled with his thoughtful actions, he always gave her the wrong idea that he might like her.
Butâ¦
She looked up at her reflection in the mirror.
That would be impossible.
Her entire body was swollen.
Even her brain seemed to be swollen, as her recent behavior has all been a mess out of concern for her twins.
How could a woman like her, in her current state, attract Julian Fulcher?
Rather than liking her, Diana would rather believe that he liked her children and that he wanted to snatch them away from her.
The thought made every single cell in Dianaâs body awake and alert.
She cupped her right hand with water and splashed it on her face.
âCome on, pull yourself together!â she told herself.
She couldnât afford to be bewitched by Julian.
For all she knew, the moment she accepted his gestures of goodwill, he would ask to take her children away from her again.
âSimon isnât the father of the twins,â she said to Julian after coming out of the washroom.
She hoped he would understand that he didnât have any blood relations whatsoever with the twins.
She was hinting for him to stop eyeing them.
The disappointment on his face disappeared without a trace, and his hands started trembling. âI know.â
Julian was beyond excited right now. If it werenât for Dianaâs injuries and his fear of hurting her, he might consider carrying her in his arms and turning her around and around in the room!
He could sense she was gradually opening up to him.
For all he knew, he might soon find out the truth behind why she left him three years ago.
His trust for her wouldnât have been in vain.
All the more this proved that Kiki and Simonâs claims were nothing but nonsense!
Simon was the twinsâ father?
Well, Diana had admitted it herself.
Simon had nothing to do with the twins!
Therefore, Diana did not betray him.
He wasnât exactly surprised.
Even so, these things had been on Julianâs heart for a while.
He had never truly believed that Diana would betray him.
He was just scared.
Scared that she might betray him.
But now that Diana had admitted it, the DNA test report didnât seem so important anymore.
Julian no longer cared for it, and decided to focus on staying by Dianaâs side.
âThese sandwiches arenât bad,â she said, hurriedly-the look in his eyes was too scary.
She kept having the feeling that this man was going to swallow her whole.
She had to keep reminding herself that she was overthinking things.
She could only awkwardly try to find something to talk about.
Julian nodded. âItâs a good breakfast option. Itâs not oily and nutritious.â
