Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 97
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The implication behind the maidâs words was that they only recognized Kayla as the sole young lady of the Winnington family. The deeper meaning behind it was that the servants hadnât been able to tell Diana and Kayla apart before, but now they could.
It was a pity that Diana didnât catch the meaning. She even followed up with, âYes, I donât think we look very similar either.â
After all, how could two women unrelated by blood look similar to each other?
Diana shook her head and dismissed the maid before walking into the cloakroom. âYes, Mom. Iâm here.â
âWhy are you still standing outside? Come on in!â Kate urged.
Diana had no idea what Kate and Kayla were doing inside, except that it was a bit of a novelty to meet Kayla for the first time in such a private place as a cloakroom. She felt happy the entire time she made her way here, and that happiness only increased when she saw Kate holding up a dress with a smile.
It was the first time Diana felt the true meaning of the saying that blood was thicker than water, and what it meant to deeply desire motherly love.
âWhereâs Kayla?â Diana asked with a smile. She looked around, but saw no sign of the other woman.
âWhere is she?â
âSheâs gone into the fitting room,â Kate replied, pointing down to a small suite in the cloakroom. âCome here. Iâve picked out two identical dresses for you two. Try this on.â
Diana froze. âWhy do you want us to wear the same dress?â
âThe one youâre wearing now is dirty,â Kate replied curtly, not liking how Diana questioned her.
âBesides, youâre sisters meeting officially for the first time. Wearing the same dress will make things less intimidating. Everyone will look at you two in envy when you go downstairs later.â
Diana didnât expect Kate to consider such a thing. âKayla and I⦠Weâre not close sisters. Also, my dress got dirty at the hospital because of an emergency. I didnât have time to change.â
What was more, the dress Kate was holding was a fine and beautiful dark green, but it had a long hemline. Diana was worried she would trip over it, and refused again. âI donât need to wear that. What I have is fine.â
Kate was annoyed with Dianaâs stubbornness. âYouâre already sharing the same man as Kayla, yet you still feel shameful about wearing the same dress as her?â
Diana snapped her head up in shock, not expecting such harsh words from Kate.
âWell, what about Kayla?â Diana couldnât resist shooting back fiercely. âShe took the man I had, and wore the earring I gave you and returned. Is she willing to wear the same dress as me?â
Kate was stunned. âWhat are you talking about? Kayla doesnât have piercings on her ears! Besides, I returned those earrings to you. How could she wear them?â
Now it was Dianaâs turn to be stunned. âDidnât Kayla go to the washroom just now?â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?â Kate said, pulling Diana over and pushing her into another fitting room. âHurry up and get changed! Kayla will be out soon.â
Wearing the same dress would make them look even more similar than before.
Regardless, Diana was firm in her decision. âThe dress is too long. I wonât wear it.â
Who would take responsibility for her babyâs safety if she stepped on the dress and fell?
Kate saw how stubborn Diana was being and was about to retort, but Kaylaâs soft voice rang out and stopped her. âMom, donât force her to wear it if she doesnât want to. There are a lot of other dresses, after all.â
Diana turned toward the fitting room in shock. Had she really mistaken the woman in the washroom as Kayla?
But⦠What about the earrings?
While Diana pondered, Kayla had already pushed open the door and walked towards her with a smile.
Kaylaâs light steps were an absolute contrast to the heaviness crushing Dianaâs heart.
How could Kayla look so much like her?!
