Alle Kapitel von Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Kapitel 271 – Kapitel 280

“Oh…” Kayla lowered her head, seemingly disappointed that Diana wasn’t here. After less than a minute, tears fell down Kayla’s cheeks. “Julian…” She looked at the wounds covering her body as tears hung pitifully from the corners of her eyes. “Don’t tell Diana about what happened to me. Otherwise, she’ll feel guilty about it. Today… She was supposed to come today, but since everyone knows about Michael, she probably felt scared about it and procrastinated a little in the office. Professionally speaking, I’m the leader of her design team. Privately speaking, I’m her sister, her family. I thought I should take her place in attending the dinner, since we resemble each other so closely. But I didn’t expect Diana to not come at all…” Kayla began sobbing mid-sentence, so wracked with sorrow that she was unable to speak further. It looked just like she had suffered a terrible betrayal. She had effortlessly created the image of her heroically turning up for Diana’s appointment on

As if to confirm Diana’s suspicions, Julian opened his mouth and said, “But you must go with me to see Kayla and apologize to her.”This time, Diana was in the wrong.Her leisurely stance at home and cold questioning felt so foreign and unfamiliar to him.He couldn’t accept that his own children would be under the care of such a mother.He had to correct it.He had to tell her to admit the mistake that she committed.As long as she corrected herself, everything would be fine.In truth, Diana did no wrong.He was the one who, once again, jumped to conclusions and took Kayla’s words as truth.Ever since he raised the prospect of a divorce, such drama had been replaying time and time again.Every time, he would stand on Kayla’s side without fail.Diana, on the other hand, had to swallow all her grievances in complete silence.This included yesterday’s musk incident.What if her body didn’t react so quickly, and she only realized that something was wrong when the deer musk had

Julian knew that Kayla really needed help right now. But when she said those words, he couldn’t help finding them slightly awkward.Suddenly, he lifted his hand and forced Diana to look up. His jaw tilted in the direction of the bathroom and he instructed Diana, “You go in.”Julian didn’t understand what Kayla wanted, but Diana did. If she were to go in right now, she would certainly incur Kayla’s wrath. She rejected it resolutely and even pushed Julian forward instead. “I’m not going in. You go in.”Julian’s face darkened. “Diana Winnington!”His voice, laced with the authority of a person of power immediately, made Diana feel overwhelmed and breathless.In front of other people, Diana had always been able to strike a balance between humility and haughtiness. But in front of Julian, no matter how mentally prepared or how determined she was, she always ended up having to submit to his domineering ways. That was especially so when he had that cold, hard look on his face tha

What did he just say?!Diana felt her head buzz,and she didn’t even feel the pain on her bruised wrist. Fear grew in her heart the more she thought about what he just said.Panic rose in her throat.Her voice trembled, “You… You…”Her throat turned dry and parched, and she was unable to utter a single word. She was too afraid. Terrible, awful fear gripped her entire being.Not only was she afraid that Julian would find out about her pregnancy, but she was even more fearful of the second half of his statement. He said that he wouldn’t be able to rest easy, leaving his children in the hands of a vicious woman like her!What she was most worried about was whether she could carry her babies to full-term and whether Julian would fight with her for the babies if he found out that she didn’t go through with the abortion.Right now, they weren’t divorced yet.Yet, her secret had been exposed.All her worries were coming true at that moment. Diana trembled and instinctively call

Her earlier apology wasn’t the slightest bit genuine.But right now, she really wanted to apologize and put the matter to rest in exchange for peace for herself and her children.As for Julian asking to hear the truth, she no longer believed him. Once bitten, twice shy, after all.After being disappointed so many times, would he seek justice for her?Impossible!She only wished that he would spare her and her babies on account of her begging and groveling.As for what Julian was planning to do to her after going back, she didn’t have the capacity to think so far ahead. Her mind was in utter chaos.She had countless questions to ask him, but felt that every single one of them was meaningless.Because he didn’t love her.He didn’t love her the slightest!It was why he forced her to get an abortion; when that didn’t work, he used her babies to threaten her to apologize to Kayla.Everything that he did…The mere thought of it made unbearable pain pierce through her entire b
