Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 871 - Bab 880

"Enough!" Diana couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped out from her hiding place.In that instant, Julian thought he saw the Diana of the past. Whether it was her temperament, figure, or even her expression… Everything was exactly the same.In the past, he once took Diana to attend his grandmother's private banquet. Originally, the banquet was only for his grandmother's close friends.But some of her friends had ulterior motives; they brought their granddaughters, hoping to introduce them to Julian and potentially secure a good marriage. At that time, Diana and Julian had just gotten married. Nobody believed their marriage would last. No one took Diana seriously.Madam Fulcher had been angry about it too, and even broke off contact with her friends for a while. However, she couldn't reprimand everyone individually at the banquet."Julian, if you want Diana to establish her position as a prominent member of the Fulcher family, it's up to you and her. No matter how much I say,

Diana was shocked.She couldn't believe these were words coming from Sean's mouth. Astonished, she asked, "Sean, do you know what the basement is?""I know." Sean nodded. He often heard about it in bedtime stories. "It's very cold, dark, uncomfortable, and there are mice."Diana felt even more upset. "Then why did you say that you want Mommy to live in the basement?"He held Diana's hand. "That's the only way you can stay. Betty and I need you, Mommy."To fulfill his needs, he was willing to let her live in a basement with mice. His words sent a chill up her spine. Was this the same boy who once said that he would protect her?Diana tightened her grip on his small hand. "Then why don't you leave with Mommy?"Sean shook his head. "I need Mommy, and I need Daddy too." He stood by the window, and pointed downstairs. “Look at that bad man. He doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of Daddy."The shadow Zachary cast over the two children was too significant. It made Sean believe tha

It was already late afternoon when the family left the room. The scorching noon heat had passed, but Zachary was still hunching in the yard. He was clearly on the verge of exhaustion. He didn’t see Julian, but he noticed Diana approaching with Betty in her arms. He was quick to use his seniority to manipulate her. "Diana, I'm your grandfather. Why don't you help me to the nearby bench to rest?"He thought he had played his cards well—if Diana helped him, he could argue that he wasn't disobeying Julian's command.Diana saw through his intentions. She couldn't believe she had a relative like him. Had he asked about Betty's condition or showed the slightest bit of concern, she wouldn't despise him to this extent.Diana held Betty in a shaded area, watching Zachary stand under the scorching sun. "I won’t. I'm not here to help you. I'm here to see how miserable you are."Julian had already made him stand for six or seven hours. Given his age, if he continued like this, he would be sev

Diana suppressed her anger. She put down the spoon, smiling, and asked Julian patiently, "So, what do you want to eat?"He didn't want to eat anything.And he definitely didn't want her to look at him like that."Something green," he replied reluctantly.Despite saying that, he still opened his mouth and waited.Seeing that he expected her to feed him again, Diana shuddered uneasily. If it weren't for the kids being present, she would’ve asked him if he felt anything towards her, and if he planned to do something that would betray Cecilia.That made her feel disgusted at him.Julian noticed that her expression was off. He belatedly realized that he had obediently followed her whims again, implying that he wanted her to feed him. It didn't matter; he would just treat her like a servant.Having discovered that Diana had found a way to enter the villa, he let her stay. He also sent all the other childcare candidates away. With her as free labor, why waste money on others? Besi

Julian turned to look at Diana. Then, he asked Sean, "If Daddy stays with Mommy, can you and Betty take care of yourselves?"Betty had servants to care for her, and she had just finished bathing."Yes." Sean nodded. He whispered something to Betty. Though she didn't speak, her eyes were bright with joy. They both nodded in agreement.So, Julian ended up staying in the guest room of his own house.What a miraculous day!Before he closed his eyes, he wondered how he ended up staying on Diana's bed. Did she really not teach the children to act like that? If not, why did he always feel like Sean was assisting her…? Or was it just his imagination?Meanwhile, Diana was still in the bathroom. 'She's been in there since the children left, doing who knows what. Maybe she's just playing hard to get. I won't bother with her... I won't!'After all, it was his house. If something really happened, it wouldn't reflect well on Collina Villa’s reputation. If he ended up not liking the house
