Chapter 906
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
However, Diana didnât follow them.
âIâm fine with this room,â she said. The distance between this room and the childrenâs room was only a few steps away. If Julian arranged for her to move to another guest room, she might end up farther from her children.
She wouldnât go.
She wanted to stay here.
âYou just need to get someone to fix the toilet for me,â she said. âAs for the clothes, I run a clothing business myself. I wonât be lacking any outfits.â
Due to what happened with Cecilia Jarvis, the second floor of her studio needed renovations. She took this opportunity to rest, and closed her store temporarily for a few days.
There were plenty of ready-made clothes inside the shop that she could wear, and she already had Nina bring her a few things. Having three or four pieces to change into was enough.
Seeing Julianâs sincerity being rejected, the servants grew anxious. âBut⦠Ms. Winnington, please donât make things hard for us. These are all the masterâs orders, and we must care for you meticulously.â
âLet me stay in this room and wear the clothes I like. Thatâs the best care you can give me,â Diana insisted. âDonât worry. If Julian has any complaints, Iâll explain it to him.â
With her words, the servants dispersed.
In the afternoon, when Julian returned from the company, he found the twins playing with Diana on the bed. He seemed to be aware she had refused the room change and the new clothes, but he didnât say much. Instead, he went in with a toolbox and quietly entered the bathroom.
Initially, Diana didnât pay it much attention.
She wasnât curious, either.
She thought he was just going in to take a look.
However, Julian still didnât come out after half an hour.
It was Betty who finally got out of bed and walked slowly to the bathroom door. She had grown curious-
curious why her daddy had gone through a door, but didnât come out.
Diana finally called out, âJulian?â
Julian responded with a hum. âAlmost done.â
Repairing a toilet was something he had never done before. This was There were many steps that required careful operations when attempts failed.
This was the third time.
âOnly success is acceptable. Failure isnât allowed!â Julian thought.
Finally, with a rush of waterâ¦
The toilet was fixed.
âThere was a missing shim inside,â he said as he emerged from the toilet. He had removed the gloves and taken a shower after he finished the job.
Diana wasnât surprised that he took a shower after fixing the toilet. had heard from the servants that he was a bit of a germophobe.
What surprised her wasâ¦
âWhy did you personally come to fix it? And why take a shower in my room?â
Why, indeed.
He just wanted to have a chat with her, to remind her of his presence.
As for the showerâ¦
Mischief flickered in his eyes. He had intentionally left a couple of buttons unbuttoned, and his chest was slightly damp from the shower. He looked both nonchalant and suggestive.
He said casually, âIf I went back to my room to shower, I might end up smelling bad in front of our two precious ones right after I come out.â
As he spoke, he noticed Diana furrowing her brows.
He quickly added, âI didnât mean to imply that your bathroom isnât clean.â
Dianaâs eyebrows furrowed even tighter. She gazed intently on him.
Julianâs heart pounded, and he continued, âI didnât shower and fix the toilet because of you. The usual workers couldnât make it in time, and I was afraid the kids would need to use the restroom while playing in your room.â
All in all, everything he did was for the children.
