Chapter 930
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Through her clothes, he placed his trembling hands on the scar she gained during childbirth. After so long, he could still accurately identify its position.
âItâs been tough on you, my darling. Itâs been tough on you to give birth to two darlings. Itâs been so tough on you, darling. Iâm so sorry, darling.â
Diana could tell that he was heavily intoxicated.
She wanted to ask in further detail about what he meant about helping her regain her memories, but then, she heard a soft snoring sound from him.
Very soon, however, the snores disappeared.
Even if he was drunk, he wanted to collapse next to her.
Even if he was drunk, he still wanted to retain his dignified posture.
Of courseâ¦
Suddenly, he said, âDarling, I want to sleep with you.â
Dianaâs face turned black the moment she heard him.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
To hell with sleep!
He was just lamenting how much his heart broke over the pain she suffered from childbirth and all. He was just cajoling her!
With the aim ofâ¦
Her face blushed as she looked at his outstanding figure from head to toe. She hurriedly laid him down on the bed, and tucked him into the sheets.
After that, she switched the lights off.
By the time she left the room, the twins were still wide awake, just as she had expected. They were both waiting for her at the door.
âDaddyâs asleep.â
She put her fingers over her lips as a signal for them to keep quiet. Then she walked to the window, and looked down.
As expected, Noel was still standing downstairs. His head was tilted up, looking expectantly in the direction of her house.
Diana headed out, and told Noel that Julian had fallen asleep. He sighed in relief, feeling glad for Julian. âMadam, Mr. Fulcher really likes you. Aside from you, he would never sacrifice his pride and dignity to seduce another woman.â
With that, he quickly retrieved a set of clothes he had prepared for Julian from the car. âTake this. Mr.
Fulcher can wear it tomorrow morning.â
Julian definitely wouldnât want to keep on wearing his current clothes. He would most probably throw them away.
Diana accepted it and thanked Noel. âItâs been tough on you.â
Noel waved his hands profusely. âNot at all.â
Diana was about to head upstairs when Noel called out to her again. He hesitated momentarily before telling her all about Julian calling Albert to CoIlina Villa to test her.
âMy father did something bad to you before,â Noel briefly recounted the incident. âItâs only right that the Carters treats you well to make up for it. In the future, just tell me if you need anything. Donât be formal with me.â
Diana was stunned to hear it.
âYou mean your father had something to do with me miscarrying Aster and Star? And Julian called him to the villa to test me and see if I was lying and really lost my memories? And he stood there watching me serve Albert food and be hospitable to him?â
A bad feeling rose up Noelâs chest. The awkwardness he was feeling started to show on his face.
âMadam⦠I⦠My fatherâ¦â
âItâs fine,â Diana said. âIt has nothing to do with you.â
She could clearly see how well Noel treated her and how loyal he was to Julian. He and Layla were excellent people.
âThe debt your father owes has nothing to do with you. Donât worry.â
She herself was a mother of two children. She knew that although parents were a great influence over their children, they were ultimately individual entities.
Noel sighed in relief again, but something suddenly came to mind. âThen, Mr. Fulcherâ¦â
Diana put on a fake smile and threw the clothes that Noel gave her into the trash can. Noel was stunned into silence.
âGo back home,â Diana said. âThereâll be a way when we wake up tomorrow.â
