Lahat ng Kabanata ng Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Kabanata 291 - Kabanata 300

Be acknowledged as a daughter of the Winnington family?It was too late.Diana had long since stopped caring about this matter. She was only here today for the sake of her babies. She wanted to see if she could expect her parents to be amiable grandparents.Now, it seemed she had been delusional to even have a shred of expectation from them."I don't care for that,” Diana said coldly. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."James got anxious and immediately got up to block Diana's path. "Are you looking down on the Pabians?!"Forget about Luke's grandfather. Even if it was Luke or any of the outstanding children in the Pabians, Diana would dismiss them all.She had an extreme dislike for the entire family line. Even thinking of their family name would make her recall the repulsive leer in Luke's eyes back at the factory when he looked at her.She also remembered vividly the desperation Julian had displayed back then."I won't marry anyone.""Are you saying you won't go throug

However, Diana knew Kate was trying so hard to persuade her to make way for Kayla. That's why Kate wanted Diana to finalize the divorce immediately."I’ll become the best fashion designer," Diana declared, mockery dancing in her eyes. It seemed she no longer had Kate in sight and treated the latter as insignificant. Kate was startled at the look in Diana's eyes. A sense of loss suddenly welled up in her chest.At this moment, she felt like she was going to lose something forever.But before she could properly process the feeling, her mouth seemed to work faster than her brain. She repeated slowly, "The best...fashion designer?"She burst into mocking laughter, the sound shrill and ugly. "You? Really?"Diana nodded, unperturbed by Kate's mocking tone. She no longer cared about the Winningtons, so their words didn't hurt her anymore."Yes. Me."Had it not been for her design talent, she wouldn't have grown up so safely until now, much less make her way to Richburgh from the coun

As expected, Diana didn't refute Julian once he said those words.In the end, she still hoped that her babies would receive more love. Even if Julian's fatherly love for them wouldn’t be felt after they were born, she would at least have something to tell them about their father when they grew up.The room was silent. Only their breathing could be heard, and Diana slowly dozed off. She didn't know how long Julian kept up the massage, but when she next woke, she could feel that his movements had slowed.She guessed that giving someone a massage could also be quite tiring."Why don't you take a rest?" Diana said, glancing up at him. She was a little ashamed that she had fallen into such a deep sleep. "I'm not that tired."Julian didn't cease his movements but said, "Have you thought about what I suggested yesterday? Do you want to know the solution?"Was he talking about a solution that could satisfy everyone?The soothing motions of Julian's hands softened subconsciously softened

Diana's heart clenched so tightly that she could barely breathe. By some miracle, she called out to Julian before he stepped out of her room, "Did...you mean what you said? Truly?"Julian's heart skipped a beat, and the depressing air around him evaporated as he turned around in surprise; his deep, dark eyes meeting Diana's clear, bright ones.For a moment, it was hard to tell whose heart was beating faster at the tension of the situation."It's true. I really don't want to divorce you. I want to be together with you." He had clearly abandoned her once and had pushed her away without hesitation. And yet, after hearing those words from him... Diana still felt a tiny spark of hope in her chest. It was impossible to say the harsh words she used to when facing him now, but it was also impossible to forget and pretend that the hurtful things had not happened between them. Her mind was in a mess, and so she muttered, "I'll think about it."Julian said nothing and left the room, closing

At the same time, Kayla frantically tore her clothes apart with her two hands."Julian! I've waited for you for so many years! Why do you think I'm not as good as Diana?!"She was already showing a lot of skin, intending to guilt and hold onto him this way.However, Julian was unmoved. He picked up a blanket nearby and covered her. "Kayla."Even his voice had turned ice-cold.For a moment, Kayla didn't dare to move. The stern tone of his voice made her shiver, but she wasn't willing to give in so easily.She had done so much for him. How could he abandon her like this?!"Stop talking!" Kayla shouted once more. Her voice was hoarse, and she wailed in grief, as if it was someone else's fault that she was in the state she was in. "I don't want to hear it!""Kayla," Julian repeated. "Perhaps you already know that the person I love is Diana."Before he met Diana, Julian had thought that what he felt toward Kayla was love; she was a constant presence by his side that needed his prot
