Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 981 - Bab 990

Julian hissed in pain. He was about to ask Diana what was going on, but before he could say anything, Diana's expression turned frantic. “You're overthinking!” she said. “Why would I make this for you?”She spoke loudly, her eyes darting to the window. "Simon requested this stew for lunch today." Her voice was strained as she continued, "Julian, don't jump to conclusions. I didn't cook a portion for you."At her words, the smile on Julian's face gradually faded. His complexion turned dark. "Diana!"What was she doing?The dissatisfaction that had been building up within him erupted. "It's not just that you haven't smiled much at me these days. I understand you're busy. But now, you even pushed me away and hurt my back. Forget expressing a word of concern for me, you’re actually saying you didn't cook a portion for me?"She used to love making soup and stew for him.He had been looking forward to it since her return to Richburgh. He had also urged her to make it for him. Yet

Simon couldn't utter a word in response. After a while, he muttered in a subdued tone, "Diana isn’t yours. You're already divorced."Julian didn't yield an inch. "It seems you know everything. I thought the car accident damaged your brain, since you didn't even know that she used to be your sister-in-law. But I guess you're well aware of everything." He looked at Simon's legs as he spoke.Julian didn't believe it. He found it hard to stomach that someone like Simon didn't care about his legs.Sure enough, Simon's eyes flashed in resentment. "Julian!" he snarled.If Julian wanted to mock Simon, he should do it openly and honestly. Why beat around the bush?"Yeah?" Julian responded with a faint nod. "I'm listening."With that, he lifted the bowl and brought it to Simon's lips. "Drink. My girlfriend gave me specific instructions to make sure you finish this stew."Julian emphasized the words "my girlfriend," causing Simon to clutch his legs tightly.Did he regret it?After

Diana looked at his defiant expression, and couldn't help but find it amusing. "Why is it that the more we talk, the more petty you become? You're an adult. Can't you just talk to me normally? Why do you have to make Betty relay your message?"However, Julian didn't listen and was persistent. "Sweetie, tell your mommy I don't want to talk to her."Betty hesitated for a while, but she quickly raised her adorable round eyes. In a childlike voice, she said, "Mommy, Daddy said he doesn't want to talk to you.""Julian, have you forgotten? What did the doctor say last time during the child psychology lecture? He said we must create a healthy family environment to—"Before Diana could finish her sentence, Julian interjected, "Sweetie, tell your mommy I'm done eating."With that, Julian left, intending to return to his own room. Diana watched his retreating figure. She was so angry, she could feel herself getting a heart attack."Julian, do you really not care about the children? Do yo

Such a young child had taught Julian how to do things with such a mature tone, with a cool and aloof expression to boot.Julian took the doll from Betty, then went to Sean to borrow an electric toy motorcycle."Daddy, what are you going to do?" Betty asked curiously.She followed Julian like a little tail, never leaving his side for a moment.Julian didn't want her running around behind him, so he picked her up and held her with one arm while continuing to work with the items in his hand.Layla had come to clean the room, when she saw Julian working with Betty in his arm. She thought it was hard on him. She wanted to advise him not to carry Betty all the time, just like she did with Diana. "If you keep carrying Ms. Betty like this, she'll get used to it."Betty was almost three years old. Yet, she still clung to Julian every day. She didn't even want to walk on her own anymore.Julian sneered. "How long will I be able to carry her like this?"When the children grew up, he wou

To maintain a peaceful relationship between the two, it might be best to avoid mentioning Simon's existence altogether. At the very least, Diana should try to downplay Simon's significance in front of Julian. The fact that he was personally speaking to her now, instead of having Betty relay messages, was already a sign of submission. She understood this man's oddities, even though they were often unexplainable. Although his quirks were often a bit puzzling, she could still read him well. "Sure." As expected, Julian was being difficult. He refused to give in easily. "Tell me, then. Why are you here?" Diana was speechless. Well, it was true she was the one who initiated this meeting. She was a bit stifled inside, but she followed his lead and continued, "What's the deal with these love letters?" "What could be the deal? Sean’s just popular." He raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Aren't you happy? Or do you think Sean is too young for this?" It wasn't that. Diana could u
