Lahat ng Kabanata ng Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Kabanata 651 - Kabanata 660

If it weren’t for the fact that she had given birth to Diana, or for the noodles, Kate wouldn’t even have the chance to come into the villa’s porch.Kate was shocked by the cold look on Diana’s face, which clearly told of the fact that Diana had no intention whatsoever to treat her like a mother. Fury tainted her face red.She didn’t even feel so cold anymore. Her head buzzed as she screamed, “What do you know? Your father and I are suffering right now, cowering in that lousy place and eating terrible food! Doesn’t your heart ache one bit for us?”“Eating terrible food?” Diana recalled her old memories. Her tone was gentle despite the harsh words she was about to say. “I’m sure that food still tastes great. After all, it was my staple food when I was young. Now that I’m with Julian, he’s not used to eating such food and prefers fancier delicacies and feasts. Even his vegetables are flown directly from Switzerland. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I rather miss the taste of that food

“Everything in that rented apartment has disappeared.” Noel found it strange as well. “I tried to ask around with the neighbors, and they said that a luxury car drove by to pick up the couple.”Julian’s brows furrowed. “A luxury car?” The Winnington family was no longer receptive to James.Why would there be a luxury car coming to fetch them? Where did the car bring them to?“Yes,” Noel replied. “Apparently, they were exceptionally happy when they left, and they flung all their belongings into the trash can as if they were about to enjoy a good life in the days ahead.”Julian found it strange. “Did you check the car plate number?”“No, I didn’t,” Noel said. “Their apartment was in an old estate that didn’t even have traffic lights, not to mention surveillance cameras. No trace of the car was left behind.”Things seemed rather suspicious, and Julian tasked Noel to investigate things further. But memories of Kate insulting and scolding Diana outside the villa yesterday, which u

“I fell in love with him first, and I met him first. Most of all, we got into a relationship first…”And yet, she wasn’t the woman who got engaged with Vans.Nina was about to say something more, but very soon, she composed herself and stopped talking about things between her and Vans. Diana wanted to pursue things further, but upon sensing that Nina wasn’t willing to talk about it anymore, she didn’t push it.Nina went on, “Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you that Oliver’s no longer in the emergency room.”“Has he been promoted?”Did he become busier because of a promotion?“How could any other department be busier than the ER?” Because of Vans, Nina gained a better understanding of things in the hospital. “That’s the most tiring department in the entire hospital! You’re right that he’s been promoted, but actually, it’s almost equivalent to resigning. He only comes to the hospital for half a day each week at the highest-level specialist clinic, and he only does consultations for thr

Julian replied straightforwardly, “My wife.”She was no ordinary person indeed. She was the love of his life!Noel was silenced by Julian’s answer, and asked no further questions.Julian, on the other hand, offered further information. “I put on a disguise and played a game with her, which is why I didn’t answer her call and texted her instead.”That alone was worth him halting a meeting with the senior executives—just so he could send a text?!Noel couldn’t figure out what Julian meant by “putting on a disguise,” but even if he didn’t understand what his boss meant, he had no choice but to agree. He could sense that Julian was waiting for a response from him, so he chuckled dryly a few times, put his hands together, and said in a tone that was eager to please, “Wow, sir! You must be in a good mood to play such games with your wife.”“Bootlicker, you are,” Julian teased. By the time Julian returned home, Diana had gotten changed and was seated in the living room as she waited

They were three days away from the last day of the year. And yet… Julian wasn’t by her side.Diana was slightly disappointed. She showed him all the things she bought over a video call. “I bought a couple toothbrush set, and I specifically bought this pair of towels with our initials on it! I spent a long time selecting them.And this, they’re the viral glass utensils! This one, pasting these little red flower stickers on the glass will definitely be beautiful!”Still, Julian didn’t seem very interested. He didn’t even look up, and simply hummed away perfunctorily.Diana was getting angry. “Julian!”She had been sharing with him the things she’d bought, so why didn’t he even bother looking at them?She even suspected that he didn’t even hear a single word she said! She was about to flare up when she saw Julian’s brows furrow.His voice was laced with fatigue as he put on a piteous look on his face. “In order to earn money to feed you, not only did I skip dinner last night,
