Chapter 878
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana suppressed her anger. She put down the spoon, smiling, and asked Julian patiently, âSo, what do you want to eat?â
He didnât want to eat anything.
And he definitely didnât want her to look at him like that.
âSomething green,â he replied reluctantly.
Despite saying that, he still opened his mouth and waited.
Seeing that he expected her to feed him again, Diana shuddered uneasily. If it werenât for the kids being present, she wouldâve asked him if he felt anything towards her, and if he planned to do something that would betray Cecilia.
That made her feel disgusted at him.
Julian noticed that her expression was off. He belatedly realized that he had obediently followed her whims again, implying that he wanted her to feed him.
It didnât matter; he would just treat her like a servant.
Having discovered that Diana had found a way to enter the villa, he let her stay. He also sent all the other childcare candidates away.
With her as free labor, why waste money on others? Besides, who could be a more reliable caretaker for the children than their own mother?
With that thought, Julian felt much more at ease.
âQuick, give me some vegetables,â he ordered.
Dianaâs hand paused, but she quickly picked some spinach and put it in his mouth. She maintained the smile on her face. âIs it good?â
âNo,â he replied as he quickly swallowed, âI want something else.â
Diana sneered, âIf itâs not good, why did you eat so much? You have a good appetite.â
Julian ignored her sarcasm. The more unhappy she looked, the satisfied he felt. After finishing one bite, he wanted another. âI want more.â
By the end of the meal, almost everything he had eaten was spoon-fed by Diana. In the end, Diana hadnât eaten much herself.
Sean was puzzled. âDaddy.â
His son called him âDaddyâ again. Whenever Diana was around, Sean would call him âDaddyâ more frequently.
Julian found it pleasing to the ears. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, his elegant gestures completely natural-as if he hadnât been fed by someone else just now.
âWhatâs wrong, Sean?â
âNothing.â Sean shook his head. âI just find it a bit strange.â
âWhatâs strange?â
âWhy donât you feed Mommy? Arenât men supposed to care for women?â
Simon had always told Sean that when he grew up, he should take good care of his wife.
âEven though Daddy and Mommy are divorced, Mommyâs living with us now. Sheâs also a woman. Why isnât Daddy taking care of her?â
Instead, he made Diana feed him all the time. Her arms must be tired.
Sean was unhappy. Betty also looked at Julian, gazing at him intently.
At that moment, Julian felt a sense of tension like never before. âDaddy was testing Mommy, I⦠I just wanted to see if sheâs qualify as your nanny.â
âOh,â Sean said, âso Daddy is also a child.â
When Julian made Diana feed him, he was testing her.
Clearly, Diana hadnât expected things to take this turn. She fed Julian not just to create a harmonious picture, as the doctor had advised, but to show the kids a united front as parents. She wanted to create a relaxing environment for Betty, too.
Yet, in Seanâs eyes, it seemed she was just simply feeding Julian as she would do for her children.
âYour acting skills are so clumsy,â Julian said to her. âIâm not the only one who saw through it with a glance. Sean did, too.
Sean didnât sense any affection from her actions. He only felt that Diana must be tired from feeding Julian.
âIn that case, you do it,â Diana said helplessly.
This man always mocked her, no matter what she did or said.
Why were her acting skills clumsy?
How did he see through it at a glance?
Aside from pretending to feed him with affection, she hadnât done anything that required acting skills!
